Nakky blog offers more SSF4 collector's edition details
Azrael translated the Feb. 4th Japanese Super Street Fighter 4 blog entry.
Inside you'll find more details on the collector's edition, SSIV will come in four different flavors with various goodies thrown in — at least for the Japanese release. To see the whole post, just click the link below.
Hello everyone!
There were a lot of people at the Kansai Qualifer last week, and it was really exciting! Oh, and someone who had come from Hiroshima gave me some momiji manju (meat buns). I was really happy. And they were very delicious! Thanks for the treat.
Well, we're at the point where its really cold, with some snowfall even. In this cold weather, as I was checking the DVD menus and booklets that come with the Collectors Package, I was able to get some good leaked info from the e-Capcom staff Ms. Kana Urazawa and Mr. Mini Suke!
It seems as though the details for the e-Capcom version have been decided! ... And as they were literally just decided not to long ago, unfortunately I have no samples to show you. But for those of you who have been holding off on making your e-Capcom reservation in lieu of more info, I wanted to get this info to you as quickly as possible!
First let's get the big stuff out of the way! There will be 4 packages available for sale on the e-Capcom website.
1. Regular Edition
Only the Super Street Fighter IV Software! 4,990 Yen! -- Tax Included (About $55 USD)
Includes a DVD with all of the promotional videos from Street Fighter IV to Super Street Fighter IV, as well as a soundtrack CD featuring remixed themes for all the characters. Only 5,990 Yen! -- Tax Included. (About $66 USD)
This will be the SSFIV software, plus the e-Capcom special bonuses. The PV DVD and character theme soundtrack are not included!
4. Collectors Package + e-Capcom Special Bonus!
The official name for this is the "Super Street Fighter IV e-Capcom Limited Edition (Collectors Package Ver)".
Well then, let's take a look at the e-Capcom Special Bonuses!
e-Capcom Special Bonus 1
-- Command and Combo Sheet
For those of you who want to try out Juri, but don't want to hit the pause button every time just to see her moves, this is perfect for you!
Displayed just like a calendar, this wonderfully practical item lets you see the command list and select combos for all characters! For example, just as you would turn to February in your calendar, you can turn to Juri's page and confirm her special moves without having to interrupt your play. Its simple, but most definitely functional.
e-Capcom Special Bonus 2
-- e-Capcom Special DVD
Come one come all! This is something our development staff has been saying "We want this!" "We need this!" "Why didn't we have this before!" about, so me and Lil' Ono pushed for it. Just like Street Fighter 4, Super Street Fighter 4 has a Trial Mode, where you can polish up your combos and what not.
However, each character has 24 different trials. As the level gets harder, so does the timing, the conditions, and it just gets much harder in general. Even our developers can't clear them easily. As there's no type of example or guidebook in the game (sorry!), you just had to figure it out on your own.
And that's where this special DVD comes in. For all characters, you'll be able to see stick motions, hand movements, and the in-game screen on a split-screen! (Right now, we're not sure if we can do this for all 24 trials, but rest assured we will have it for the later hard trials at least.)
And we also have plans for some of the best SFIV players to use the new characters in SSFIV in an all-out battle, that we'll record! We'll have more information about this as it becomes available, so stay turned!
Man... it isn't just nice bonuses, its also very practical as well! And the price is... 7,490 Yen! -- Planned (About $83 USD) We were hammering out the price at the very last minute before updating this blog!
Now, we are currently taking pre-orders for these special bonuses at the e-Capcom website. (Please note that you must be an e-Capcom member to take advantage of pre-orders).
Also, don't forget that we are also accepting pre-orders for the Collectors Package. Only limited quantities of this are being made, so if you want to be sure to have yours on the sale date please be sure to make your reservation early!
And finally, an announcement! On our official site, we have some new HD wallpapers up! Just click on your favorite character, move the mouse to somewhere in the background, right click and select "Use As Wallpaper"! Enjoy the SSFIV characters on your desktop!
Well then, the National Tournament is just 2 months away! If you think its just a tournament and a test-play event, you are sorely mistaken. ... What... what?!
Oops... if I say anymore than that, they'll get angry at me again, so this is where I take my leave of you! (runs away)

The e-Capcom bonuses would actually be worthwhile additions to any North American collector's editions. I'd love to have a calender with the move lists of every character. And the DVD with instructional splitscreen footage for passing trials is a fantastic idea.
Posted by @meh on February 4, 2010 at 9:51 p.m. #3
sounds like the new chars will be revealed in two months...
Posted by Cammy on February 4, 2010 at 9:52 p.m. #4
So where do people in uk who want the fully loaded order from?
Posted by okk on February 4, 2010 at 9:56 p.m. #5
basically all the extras are ... weak
Posted by zUkUu on February 4, 2010 at 9:56 p.m. #6
nothing to get. sadly.
the dvd containing all trial moves is rather hindering. u have a trial u cant beat, so u've to switch the dvd in your console to actually see it. So i just wait till they arrive on youtube ;)
Posted by wtf capcom on February 4, 2010 at 10:03 p.m. #7
the only new shet ya added was new ultras and costumes that shet aint even excited and the new new characters were o.k but you have to understand the old characters have the same moves come on you can do better than that
Posted by ME WANT on February 4, 2010 at 10:15 p.m. #8
Is this collectors edition coming state side?
Posted by EEEEE on February 4, 2010 at 10:15 p.m. #9
Hmmmm not bad, at least theres no crappy figure this time
Probably getting the highest SKU for the calender, character music, and the nice box...

why get the uber super limited edition when you know someone will just rip the DvDs and post them on youtube like a day or two after its out.

This means nothing unless they stop teasing and reveal the last three characters.

Posted by Lolento on February 4, 2010 at 10:55 p.m. #17
@#14 shadow
Japanese prices are generally more expensive than US prices. For comparison, I believe SFIV was launched in the 8000 yen range.

Nice. Wonder how much microsoft had to pay to twist their arm into keeping it 360-only so far.

ps2's outsell the 360 in Japan (yes, I meant ps2!)
Is Capcom DUMB?
Anyway, the OST and the anime sounds good, everything's else is trivial
Posted by letswinwithtim on February 5, 2010 at 1:21 a.m. #38
You know what, if all you are going to do is whine for new characters then go post somewhere else as it has absolutely nothing to do with this post.
Back on topic... The e-special DVD sounds amazing! I am glad Capcom have spent more time on the trial mode this year as I am going to attempt to go for all trials again :)
Here's hoping the e-special edition will be released in Europe!

THERE JUST ADDING MORE STUFF TO SSF4 JUST SO THEY CAN SELL IT THE PRICE AS THE ORIGINAL SF4
Posted by misallocation of resources on February 5, 2010 at 2:03 a.m. #42
yeah, all this money wasted on so-called 360 exclusive content, ESPECIALLY in japan region.
would have been better to invest it into producing an arcade version of super sf4.
not impressed at all so far.
Posted by Greedy McNasty on February 5, 2010 at 2:18 a.m. #43
@45
No they are adding more stuff for the fans that want to pay more for the game. If you really think they are being greedy then buy the normal version and it will be no harm no foul.

How's that any different than Street fighter 4? Why not just release a DVD that helps everyone--newcomers to the experts?

3S characters really blow, nobody cares about them...They had 2 chances to get into SF4 (arcade/console) and not even 1 made it in. SF4 consists of SFA/SFII/Brand New Characters.....SF3 storyline was so bad that they brought Dictator back to life and scrapped the SF3 3rd Suck story. SIN is linked to Shadoloo, and has nothing to do with SF 3rd Suck.

Posted by Jygga on February 5, 2010 at 8:06 a.m. #72
So the original SF4 had 10 trials but the normal trials had varying number of actual moves and combos you have to do. Will the 24 per charachter work the same way or will it be different?

No matter what capcom I will buy the most expensive thing you'll throw at us dealing with street fighter because I'm that loyal to you guys. You are the ones who are making shooters turn into fighter which I been waiting for the past decade. 2010 is the era for fight em up games! IF you want $100 you'll get it! Last year I spent nearly 300 (te+special ed) and was it worth it? yes so no matter what the cost I'll buy it because you guys made my year!
Posted by Me on February 5, 2010 at 8:17 a.m. #75
Don't know y ppl r saying that 3rd strike sucked. I never played it and just by watching YouTube videos I'm mad at the fact that I didn't play it. It looked like it was a lot of fun. All new charcters and interesting moves. Except for the two main staples of the series, which I can't wait till they kill them off, it looked really good. I'm an old school sf player and the old characters in sf4 is what brung me back, but it's sorta like the same old stuff.... Sagat is still on his own tier then ders errbody else. Which is y they need to do something different and that's y I say 3rd strike doesn't suck and wouldn't mind seeing some 3s characters in ssf4. Cause really it's starting to look like alpha 4 instead.
Posted by Dejavu @ 71 on February 5, 2010 at 8:33 a.m. #76
Funnily enough a lot of pple consider 3rd strike to be the best ever SF game and i agree.
To be honest capcom had screwed up the SF universe long before SF4, i mean they released SFA in the middle of the SF3 series. They jumped from SFA to 3rd strike. At least SF4 will bridge the gap between SF2 and SF3.
With SF3 capcom sacrified the SF plot for great gameplay and unique, interesting new characters.
Posted by Dejavu @ #77 on February 5, 2010 at 8:49 a.m. #77
True , this is like SF alpha 4 but takes place like 5-6yrs after the events of SFA3.

all ive got to say is that if you play a FIGHTING GAME FOR THE STORY then you are obviously a fu,cking f@ggot. Fighting games are played to show skill and whoop some @ss not so you can follow what happens in probably the worst storylin in any game ever. and to the guy who said 3S story sucks, it more or less does but SF story after the first street fighter started sucking. Charlie's dead, wait no he isnt, or maybe he is, Bison is dead but he comes back cuz he was a fake and the only real bison is in alpha maybe. Gouken is dea but lets bring him back in SF4 because he was really unconscious. HIS STUDENTS DIDNT EVEN BURY HIS BODY THEY JUST PUT UP A TOMBSTONE AND LEFT HIS BODY WHERE AKUMA BEAT HIM DOWN AT.
Posted by SF3 on February 5, 2010 at 10:05 a.m. #80
Dude Sf3 didnt have the best story but the thing about street fighter fans is they dont care about introducing new, original gameplay mechanics and characters. Cuz as long as it plays like SF2 and the same old bull$hit that worked in super turbo is there then, these casuals will be perfectly fine. Here my tagline for street fighter 4 *NOSTALGIA GLASSES NOT INCLUDED
Posted by SHAHEENuk on February 5, 2010 at 10:07 a.m. #81
Was going to get ce.but was hoping they added the juri ani to the ps3.all the stuff they're giving i dont think ill need also not a collecter.
more or less evryhing i wanted capcom have delivered

Posted by The Big Bukoffsky on February 5, 2010 at 10:12 a.m. #83
The truth of the matter is that Capcom got lucky with Street Fighter 2 and hasn't been able to quite figure out the exact perfect formula for the franchise. Third Strike was the best Street fighter in my opinion with Alpha 2 getting a mention because it was a damn good game.
Posted by Francys Pai on February 5, 2010 at 10:20 a.m. #84
I'm also finding this utterly hilarious that theyre so supportive of microsoft (on terms of 360) considering their previous game was one of the most pirated of 2009.

I really can live without this stuff. Why is examples of how to do the trials (combos) a special bonus????? Has anyone ever played Tekken???? Well if you have these examples of how to do stuff is included in the game.
Capcom really need to get with the program where extras stagees and costumes are concerned, sorry but I just expect more.

#77: "Funnily enough a lot of pple consider 3rd strike to be the best ever SF game and i agree."
Funnily enough, fewer people think that about any version of SFIII than they do about any other Street Fighter game since II. That's why it flopped and was essentially abandoned so SFIV could be a sequel to SFII. You're welcome to your opinion, but don't delude yourself into believing it's anything other than an extreme minority opinion.
They don't do an HD Remix of SFIII because there isn't enough of an audience for that to break even, let alone turn a profit.

Actually no....I've played 3s only once...the reason i say 3s is the best is cos of the gameplay and music.
Posted by Dejavu @ 99 on February 5, 2010 at 4:37 p.m. #100
The reason why 3s sales were not so high is cos Capcom released the game at virtually the same time as alpha
another reason i hear why a lot of pple didnt like 3rd strike was cos of the new characters.

SF III caused more people to quit playing the Street Fighter franchise than it ever attracted.

#99 and 100; 3S didn't do well in the US because of it's exclusive release on a flopped system. As for the rest of your tarded opinion what other game keeps returning to SBO and other major tournies and keeps consistent play idiot? Why don't you do your homework there's been plenty talk for it being next game to be on Live and PSN. The game was so ahead of it's time Capcom said they couldn't go HD if it drops.

FU>CK THAT!!!! reveal all the damn characters and all their costumes.
whats the point of delaying the inevitable???
Posted by @LoungingJak777, hardcore SF fans > tourney fans on February 5, 2010 at 7:25 p.m. #104
Tourney means nothing*
The hardcore SF crowd went with Alpha and stuck with SSFII
SFIII came out for the best selling console of all time (ps2) and it flopped as well.
The SFIII community is small. Specially outside the "tourney" scene

I didn't say anything about makoto :P, I think you got the wrong number.

so based on the logic im seeing here. SF fans didnt like 3s because of the new characters. The new characters showed originality. 3S = original. So by that logic SF fans not like 3S. SF fans dont like originality.......wow this case has proved itself time and time again. WHy do you think that there wer 4 FOUR new characters in SF4. 4 out 35 characters being new to the game is very poor, but hey as long as people get their ryu, ken, dhalsim, zangief, guile, and chunli on i guess being original and trying something new doesnt matter right

I don't think they hated the fact there were new guys, it's that most people didn't like what they looked like/could do and/or everything else. I've never played SF3, so I'd have no idea. Saw some videos of it though - the new people look ugly.

Third Strike is garbage, #108 your obviously too obsessed with that $hitty game for you to even comprehend how badly it failed at making a real cast of fighters. Vega and Bison destroys the whole 3s cast I can't wait for you Third Strike scrubs, I'll tear you apart with Vega, even though it couldn't be done because Vega wasnt on 3strike, so it fails.

@#108
Don't forget about Gouki. But seriously, 3S was sick but it was made at a very different time from SF4. It is very stupid to compare the two especially when CAPCOM had a completely seperate angle on both games. Love 3S but don't hate on SF4 and vice versa. Both are excellent as almost every SF to date is but that is just my opinion so when you speak, remember it's just your opinion too.

#80: "all ive got to say is that if you play a FIGHTING GAME FOR THE STORY then you are obviously a fu,cking f@ggot. Fighting games are played to show skill and whoop some @ss not so you can follow what happens in probably the worst storylin in any game ever."
People with imaginations and emotions care about stories and characters. If you play video games and claim that someone is a "f@ggot" (faggot) for caring about those things, you've got some deep-seated problems.
Street Fighter's mechanics were copied by literally dozens of games that failed to endure...it's the character design and story that keep SF popular. Even if it's not why you play, recognize that the creators strive for excellence in that aspect just as they do in the aspects you appreciate the most.
I don't see how anyone can play video games and call someone a fag for caring about story. What, you're that wrapped up in a bunch of graphics with nothing at stake? This industry runs on imagination.
