Updated: Part 1 of Shiozawa's Q&A, with cliff notes
Azrael has translated about half of a recent question and answer session held on the Japanese Super Street Fighter 4 blog with Shiozawa (Nakky). To make things a little easier to go through, you can find cliff notes below followed by the first bit of the Q&A.
You can check out the second part of this article by clicking here.
• SSFIV is sold separate from SFIV because they’ve in essence built it from the ground up, so its too much to be handled as additional content.
• More hinting at Ibuki.
• No special conditions to get to the bonus stages.
• The developers and producers (Ono included) read the comments on the blogs.
• No “Making of” video, but that’s what the Dev Blog is for.
• No plans for any SF1 character, but who would you want to see?
• Would be cool to one day have the characters actually speaking their respective languages (ie Russian for Gief, Chinese for Chun).
• Someone asks for a flight suit alt for Guile, and she points out a picture showing Guile throwing a sonic boom while wearing sunglasses - is this a new item, or a new move?
• SSFIV will run at 720p just like SFIV.
• She says you’ll be able to use the new characters from the beginning (no unlocking?)
• Someone asks to be able to pick the regular stages in the training mode, and she says its something to think about for next time (implying its not a feature this time around).
• Someone asks for Vega’s stage with the chain link fence. She says that it’s a popular request, and if they add any more stages its sure to be at the top of the list.
• New Mad Catz stick being developed for SSFIV. She’ll share more info when she has it.
• She says they’re working hard enough to make the dream of arcade SSFIV a reality. Believe in them and please wait.
• Many people wanted to see a Mama Viper costume, but Nakky says if Viper is in mom-mode she’s probably not going to fight.
• Someone points out the way BP is handled is weird, with minimal gains and big losses. She doesn’t really address this issue.
• No comments in the Replay Channel.
• Some complaining about the new costumes, in which she refers to the last dev blog.
• Someone asked if Ultra II can only be used when the gauge is maxxed out - she replies that it can be used the same as Ultra I.
• Someone asks for Evil Ryu. She doesn’t answer the question.
• Someone asks about a BP penalty for ragequitters. She says the penalty is the disconnect ratio that’s displayed.
• She says that the search function has been improved from SFIV - before, it gave you someone close to the specified parameters, now it will only give you what you asked for.
• No special mode for just viewing character models.
• Someone asks if the devs really listen to the comments. She says they do - they don’t depend on them, but as they want the players to enjoy, they do at least listen.
• Confirms 2 alt costumes for the new SSFIV characters and 3 total for the returning SFIV cast.
• Someone asks if there will be a time limit for picking ultras. She says that you pick the ultra at the same time you pick your character, so there’s no time limit. I will assume this doesn’t apply to vs modes (or at least hope so…)
• They won’t be able to make any changes based on the feedback from 4/4 (the game to be shown at the National Tournament).
• Apologies, but the anime will not be available for the PS3 version. The anime is only available on the first-run production of the game. The anime is not a separate disc, but when you buy the game you get a code that will let you download it from the Marketplace. She also says that its possible for people outside of Japan to have access to the anime.
• Someone asks about R. Mika, and she doesn’t really address the question.
• Someone asks about a portable version of SFIV, and she says it would be nice if there was one.
• SSFIV’s story takes place around the same time as SFIV… but the story itself is separate.
• Titles and unlocked colors won’t carry over from SFIV.
• There will be “something” at the National Tournament.
• There will be a special update next week on the 18th (one day early), she hints very heavily that there will be a new character reveal.
• Shiozawa said that when they were making Super Street Fighter 4, they were considering redoing the profiles of the characters in order to fix issues that had come up like the low weight. However, they decided to keep the profiles as is under the consideration that the Street Fighter IV line of titles is meant to be based on Street Fighter II.
• Someone complained that the Street Fighter IV commercials weren't too great and asked that Capcom make better one this time around in order to make the Street Fighter IV name rise in Japan. But Shiozawa said Capcom is not making commercials this time around.
(Thanks to AndriaSang for translating the last two questions)
I got to go to the Kyushu Qualifiers last week! I thought maybe it would be warmer down there than in Tokyo, but man was it cold! The people who came out were the most hyped crowd yet! I won't soon forget the happy look on Kindevu's face when he won.
Well then, today I'd like to bring you the 10th entry of the Q&A Series!
But you know, today marks the one-year anniversary of SFIV's sale on the PS3 and 350. I remember nervously walking around the shops in Akihabara and Shinjuku first thing in the morning. Has it already been one year since then... Thank you very much, everyone!
Eh, enough of the sentimental stuff, let's get right to it!
Oh, but while I'm thinking about it, as for the questions and comments being made over on the Developers Blog, they'll be answering those questions on the 2/16 update! I have also taken the questions made here that I felt were suited more towards the developers and passed it along to them, so be sure to read it!
Okay, now let's face this beast in the mouth!
Q: I have SFIV on the PS3, so do I have to buy SFIV separately?
A: Yes... SSFIV isn't just an add-on, we've been building it from the ground up, so it would be really difficult to have it as DLC.
Q: The way the characters move in slow motion during the staff roll is way too cool.
A: Oh, thank you very much! We've got the same kind of staff roll in SSFIV, so be sure to beat the game and take a good look at it!
A: Ah, the mobile site contents. Sorry, but at this time we are not planning support for computers or the iPhone...
Q: I've got a feeling that female high school ninja is going to be in the game. Seeing as how we don't yet have any fighters from the SFIII series.
A: Hmm, I see. Aside from SFI, there are also no characters from SFIII in the game either. Could that kunai be hers?! Or is it...?!
Q: This is the first time I've ever been this hype for a game's release in my life.
A: Thank you for such joyous words! If you are looking forward to it that much, we'll make sure not to disappoint you!
Q: If you fulfill certain conditions, you can challenge Akuma at the end. This time around there are bonus stages, but please don't attach conditions to them.
A: Bonus stages have no conditions! Please rest assured.
Q: You have been listening to fans requests regarding characters and adding them in, but I think you'd have a more accurate view of what everyone wants by holding a poll or a survey.
A: We wanted to have a survey, but we just weren't able to... But Lil' Ono, the development staff, everyone reads the comments here on the blog, so please keep them coming in!
Q: You said "Our first ninja, Guy!" ... "First"?! Does that mean there's going to be a second?!
A: Oh-ho-ho-ho. Well, we still haven't figured out who is throwing that kunai, have we?
A: Unfortunately, we couldn't put a Making Of video together. Sorry. But in its place, we have the developers blog, where you can hear about all the behind the scenes stuff going on. Be sure to read it and leave your comments!
Q: How about Nakky as a hidden character? You could have some sort of connection with Juri.
Name: Natsuki Shiozawa
Nationality: Capcom Republic
Birthday: 8/1
Likes: Cammy, Juni, Juli
Dislikes: Juri, Seth, Bison
Special Skills: See you next week, Microsoft Word
Fighting Style: Half-assed imbued with Psycho Power
A: Hey! Where'd you get this idea of me as a character! My nationality is the same as Bison's Shadowloo! My special skills suck! And what's with my fighting style?!
Q: Will the game be on the arrange CPS2 version same as last time?
A: Yes.
Q: Are there no plans to include characters from SFI? I know there's big demand for the SFIII and Alpha characters, but how about the originals?
A: We certainly don't have any plans for the SFI characters. The characters with the most demand end up taking priority. Which characters from the original would you all like to see?
Q: As there aren't stages for all the characters, is there any possibility of putting them in later as DLC?
A: We have no plans for that at the moment. But in return, our development staff has no plans to stop trying to make everyone happy!
Q: If you've got BGM for all the characters, then I'm going to want a soundtrack. And also, a DVD with all the trailers from the previous game. Can't you sell something like this?
A: We had a feeling you'd ask, and that's why we've got the Collectors Package! Man, we really called this one!
Q: All SSFIV players in Korea are supporting the Capcom developers. Do your best, and take care of your health!
A: A comment from Korea, thank you very much! I'll be sure to eat, sleep, and work hard!
A: SVC?! Well, I can't really say anything about that, but you never know!
Q: This is something I've been thinking for a while now, but changing the voices per character would really give us a feel of these fighters coming together from all over the world! For example, Zangief saying his move names in Russian, or Chun-Li's win comments in Chinese.
A: I would also definitely like to see a Street Fighter with such an international feel! The characters will feel completely different, like a brand new world. Really, someday it would be nice if we could get fighters and voice actors from all over the world to help out with this!
Q: What's up with the timeline of SSFIV? Does SSFIV have the same story as IV but just with new characters and systems? Or does it take place after SFIV?
A: It takes place at the same time as SFIV, but focuses on events that happen at a different place... that's SSFIV!
Q: It'd be cool if, for the car breaking stage, like the SFIII parry bonus stage, the model of the car would change according to different levels. For example, Level 1 would be a compact car, Level 2 would be a sudan (the current car), Level 3 could be an armored car. As the level gets higher, breaking it would become more difficult. Is this possible?
A: It's not possible, but I think people would definitely enjoy it! If we were to make new bonus stages now, we could add levels and the object to destroy would become much larger! And the last level would be to destroy the big plane that the four bosses ride in on in the Africa Stage!
A: I'm glad my passion is reaching you! We've given it our all to make SFIV and SSFIV without compromise because we love it, but we love more the fans who enjoy playing the game.
Q: There have been a lot of people concerned for your health and a lot of support messages. I wonder if this helps to give you a little extra boost? Please don't forget that I and many other fans are supporting you!
A: I could cry... I won't forget! I really won't! The comments from everyone, the serious looks on everyone's faces when they're playing, the look of joy when they win, and the look of regret when they lose, I won't forget any of it.
Q: A lot of people are asking for a female character from Alpha 3 Upper... how about it?
A: I can't spill the beans about something that important here, can I?!
Q: I have just one request. Since this is SUPER and all, I'd like for a special guest. And that would be a certain female from the Vampire series!
A: I also love that sexy woman! She'd be perfect for a sexy showdown with Rose, Viper, and Chun-Li. But I don't know how she would fight in the current SSFIV system...
Q: Someone asked before about Cody's Final Destruction, so I fired up PS1 Alpha 3 after a long time and tried out X-ism Cody. But I could only get the punch chains to come out less than 30% of the time. Man, 10 years is way too long...
A: But, I think a 20% success rate after 10 years is pretty good! Your body just remembers things even after time passes.
Q: (About Seth's Alternate Costume) If you lose once and he comes back with his "Fu-ha-ha-ha" laugh, at that time parts of his lower body fade out, and he starts the second round in a very unsightly manner!
A: How embarrassing! That's too embarrassing to do!
Q: Ryu with the Satsui no Hadou awakened. A sleepy Ken who's just woken up in the morning. Guile who has managed to overcome natto. Zangief who has defeated fireballs. Dan who has defeated seaweed. Chun and Cammy in suggestive dresses.
A: Except for Ryu and Gief, these all seem pretty weak don't you think?! If you pick the sleepy Ken, his stage would be his house complete with Eliza!
Q: I'd like to request a pilot suit for Guile's alternate costume. He is in the Air Force after all...
A: Oh! Nice question! This time around, Guile has a new item... or is that a new move?!
A: Thank you very much! Everyone has been getting really into it, so thanks to you all going to the Qualifiers is really fun! We'll work hard to make sure that all this effort doesn't go to waste!
Q: Does SSFIV not support 1080p and only run in 720p, just like SFIV?
A: Yep, 720p!
Q: I'd like some SSFIV wallpapers to keep up my motivation level.
A: Yes! It may not be soon, but I keep whispering in the designers ears that it would be nice if we had more cool wallpapers, so please wait just a little more!
Q: Does Guile's hair grow out at all? And does he have cotton in his pants (against cold weather)?
A: Of course his hair grows out! Every morning he carefully cuts it for that flat look! And for the pants, I imagine they're military issue, so they're made from a strong material... probably cotton!
A: Guy, Cody, and the rest aren't available in SFIV that's on sale now! On 4/28 Super Street Fighter IV will go on sale, and you'll be able to use them from the start!
Q: I heard you really like E. Honda, is that true? Then I've thought up a new move for you. It's called the "Hundred Hand Slap For Shiozawa"! Take Honda's Hand Slap full of his passion and motivation, and use it to overcome your difficult schedule until the game goes on sale.
A: Huh... well... what? I guess if you say I like Honda, then I like Honda! But... "Hundred Hand Slap For Shiozawa"... doesn't that mean that I'm the one who gets slapped?! But I guess that gets me motivated! Okay, I gotcha!
A: So basically, this is a game where you just butt slam over and over again?! Well, since I apparently love Honda, I guess I'll go push Lil Ono to make it happen!
Q: For SSFIV, if we could have a box package with special artwork, then it would be an essential item for enjoying to play the game for a very long time.
A: Of course! The Collectors Package has a special illustration! Its a really cool image of Ryu and Ken. As the sale date gets a little closer, I'd like to show you all! It would also make for an awesome wallpaper, so we're also taking that into consideration!
Q: If we could choose our stages on the training mode, then it would let us take a better look at the environments that the staff has worked so hard on. Also, some other people have recommended this as well, but if we could enable Fight Request during Training Mode, it would make those people like me who aren't very good and can't improve their combos very happy.
A: Hmm, I see. I understand. You've got a good point. We'll think about this for the future!
Q: How exactly did Cody get out of jail? Did he have a plan like those Prison Break guys (laughs). Or did he just make a run for it (laughs)?
A: Heh heh, in Cody's prologue in-game, you'll get to see what happened. Please look forward to it.
Q: The stages in SFIV, including the additional ones, are really chic and beautiful. I'd like a horizontally-long wall scroll of them to hang up in my room.
A: I'm very happy that everyone likes the stages so much! It was quite unexpected to have requests for a stage viewing mode as well. For stages like the Savannah and India, they are their own little world that you can just gaze into. If we could have things run in real time, it would be cool to feature them in a separate mode!
Q: Are Andore and Hugo different persons? Please tell me.
A: They're the same person! Just a different name... sorry for the trouble!
A: Thank you very much! Requests for the return of Vega's steel fence stage rank right up there at number 1! I can't guarantee anything, but its popular enough to the point where if more stages were added, it would probably be the first to be decided on.
Q: The hippos are huge! The hippos are going to kill me!
A: Yeah huh, its easy to imagine a "Vs. Hippo" Bonus stage. Sakura would get eaten up...
Q: The animals are of such high quality, you must have had fun in making them. You could just make an animal game on its own. I was really surprised by the quality of the new stages. On the Savannah stage, you could make a separate game where you just watch the animals.
A: This is the highest praise yet! I'm very happy, thank you very much! I also feel like we've really outdone ourselves here.
A: Oh, so you mean the North or South Pole! I really love polar bears, so to some serious extent I'd love to make a North Pole stage! With the same quality of the Savannah stage, we could have polar bears and polar foxes, and some seals too! Make this, Mr. Kamei!
Q: That big statue, that's that mayor isn't it... I've been wondering this ever since Cody was introduced, but isn't this Metro City?
A: Heh heh, well that's what it would mean, wouldn't it!
A: Oh! Come to think of it... yep, no one used him. Sorry Hawk!
Q: I saw Midnight Live! Mr. Ono went nuts! You and Tsukamoto were also there.
A: Thank you for watching! I heard after wards that for the SFIV one, I was on camera quite a bit. I thought I was out of the camera's line of sight (embarrassed).
Q: If you're going to be selling a new joystick, please put it up on the official site.
A: Of course! The official stick for SSFIV this time around will be from MAD CATZ! As soon as I have more information I'll be sure to let you know.
Q: Dhalsim and Sari's marriage... is it a marriage of status, or one where their love overcame class borders?
A: Hmm... that hasn't really been discussed has it? The usually cool Dhalsim getting passionate and marrying someone of a different class... or a simple marriage prospect meeting that leads to a warm marriage... it's easy to picture both, so its hard to say!
Q: I've been reading this blog ever since SSFIV was announced. Next year will be awesome! I'm definitely buying SSFIV. Have a Happy New Year!
A: On the last blog of 2009, everyone wished me a Happy New Year, and I really did have a happy New Year! My New Year fortune is good luck! It said "There's no doubt about your good fortune." ... Really?
Q: Arcade SSFIV! I'm waiting! For arcade players like me, I'm really happy to hear your words of enthusiasm for it! I still play in the arcade! I'll be supporting the effort from the shadows!
A: These voices, these thoughts, this passion has definitely reached us. We are working hard enough to make an arcade version a reality. Please believe in us and just wait a little bit more!
Q: This blog is what I look forward to the most. I've been playing Street Fighter for many years now, but to think that Capcom would listen to players opinions and answer questions to this extent, its like a dream.
A: "Look forward to the most," ... If you say it like that, that makes me really happy. Writing this blog can be difficult at times, but if even just one person is looking forward to it like this, then I can keep writing them! I'll keep on so that everyone can continue to love SSFIV!
Q: For the end of the Year of the Ox we had Bison. For the Year of the Tiger, shouldn't it have been Sagat?
A: Ah...! That's right! I dropped the ball!
Q: Ms. Shiozawa, Mr. Ono, and the development staff, how was your Christmas?
A: With lovers, spouses, children... exchanging presents, eating turkey... that'd be nice huh? What we really did was debugging and tweaking for SSFIV. Ho ho ho. Before we knew it, it was time for the end of the year clean-up.
Q: "Cow Horn Hair" is a terrible thing to say to a girl! Given Juri's appearance and personality, I think a more fitting name would be "Little Devil Horns"!
A: Okay, I understand! Little Devil Horns it is!
A: We had a lot of requests for Viper's costume! Personally, I would also like to see her with her hair down and sunglasses off, and with an apron and slippers - Mama Viper! But if Viper was fighting as a mama, her beloved daughter Lauren would probably be carried off somewhere... darnit...
Q: It's too bad that SSFIV wasn't at the game show in September. Especially since I was there. Especially since I went in Ryu cosplay, with my travel sack over my shoulder and in barefeet. If SSFIV had been there I would have gotten a nosebleed.
A: I also feel it was too bad the game wasn't there. I wanted it to be on display, and for everyone to get a chance to play it. Sorry for not getting it done. You did a Ryu cosplay! I would have wanted a picture with you!
Q: Your eye icon is ugly. Hurry up and change it.
A: Please put up with it a little while longer!
Q: The BP loss system is whack. If I win I don't get that much, but if I lose I lose a lot.
A: Going along with the theme of "Going to meet guys stronger than me" from SFII, if you win against someone strong you get a lot of BP. If you lose to someone weak you lose a lot of BP. On the other hand, if you beat someone weak you don't get that much BP, and if you lose to someone stronger you don't lose that much!
Q: I'd like to ask about SFIV tournaments. I heard from arcades that its hard to have tournaments without Capcom's permission. So is it difficult to have one without Capcom's permission? Also, if like with the Shiozawa Cup, we consult with Capcom beforehand, is it possible to get special titles?
A: Hmm... well, outside of official tournaments, I believe many people are having fun with their own tournaments and events. You don't have to get Capcom's permission for that. But if the arcade has said that, then just in case maybe it's best to give Capcom some kind of notice. We can give out special titles with consultation! Please get into the event spirit!
Q: My first dream of the new year was that I went into the Replay Channel after the game went on sale, and there were all sorts of channels, such as "Recommended For Beginners", "Get To Know A Specific Character", "Intense Battles", etc. Incidentally, will we be able to leave comments somewhere in the channels?
A: What a nice first dream. However, its not possible to leave comments in the channels. Sorry! More than the channels being a way of communication, it was the result of communication - its a nice service kind of thing!
Q: I have a big request! Just 2 rival battles aren't enough! (Sorry, sorry...) Coming from a fellow Shiozawa!
A: Wow, we have the same last name of Shiozawa! Aside from celebrities I've never met another one. This Shiozawa would also like to see rival battles with all the characters. But that would be a lot of rival battles and very difficult to implement. But it would be nice!
Q: If we're going to have alternate costumes, I'd like an explanation. Why do we have to have stuff like Chinese vampires and robots?
A: This topic was touched upon in the Developers Blog on 2/9 (Tues)! In SFIV, the main point was keeping the essence of the character intact. SSFIV is geared towards everyone who enjoyed SFIV, and on Lil' Ono's direction this time around we wanted to do costumes that were a bit more playful. So this time, our development staff is really satisfied with the alternate costumes. As I wrote on the 1/8 blog, I really like Mega Zangief F and Cammy's Bison cosplay! Once you see them in action its really fun! So if everyone would give them a try I'd be really happy.
A: Yes! It goes well with the nitty-gritty feel of the Street Fighter series.
Q: I'm really happy about Cammy's Bison cosplay alt. I'd like to see Bison's cute bodyguards all sporting that look.
A: Yes! I love female characters, and I'd like to see the dolls fight in various different looks! It'd be exciting.
Q: Please give props to whoever made the alt costumes for Balrog and Cody.
A: Understood, I will.
Q: Zangief's costume is great! Why the heck are people complaining? (laughs)
A: It is great! But some people are unhappy about it (that makes me sad).
Q: The 2nd ultras all look pretty strong. Are they ultras that can only be used with the Revenge Gauge is at max?
A: No, you can use them in the same way you use Ultra I! So plan your strategies accordingly.
Q: You haven't really said if the costumes will be paid-content or not. They're going to be free, right?
A: Same as last time, the alternate costumes will be sold in 5-character packs, released in order.
Q: (About Ultras) As a super-special move in the SF series, you really went overboard with the flashy flying moves, but its just about right. Seeing the characters facial expressions is a great touch. That kind of camera work is one of the great things about 3D games.
A: Oh... thank you very much! We didn't want to lose the "Seriously?!" excitement of Street Fighter, so I feel that the Ultras bring out that excitement, as well as laughs, and of course cool ones as well!

I think Guile with sunglasses is more GayLe...

Cait wait for the 18th! Rose seems to be spilling out a little bit, there.

Why dont they just show a new char every week? Capcom wants to torture us! Its true...
Posted by ABCD on February 12, 2010 at 8:02 a.m. #6
Why does Guile have on his glasses? Hmmmmmm
Posted by Wowzers on February 12, 2010 at 8:08 a.m. #7
Decent update. Guile thing is interesting.
Last pic is pretty hot.

@ABCD
Because the light from his sonic boom is so powerful

Mega Zangief 7(?) wants to rape Bison Cammy!
Posted by LetsWinWithTim on February 12, 2010 at 8:10 a.m. #10
So I guess Guile with sunglasses is his new costume color #10? Seems pretty cool :)
Posted by ABCD on February 12, 2010 at 8:12 a.m. #11
@Meeh... There isn't a homosexual bone in Guile's body. Anyway, I wonder if this means he's getting a new special. I'm all for it, but I kind of like the fact that Guile only has two specials. O well, just have to wait and see.
Posted by ABCD on February 12, 2010 at 8:13 a.m. #12
@Cranky... That's what it is. Problem solved, that actually makes perfect since too. LOL.
Posted by Struggs on February 12, 2010 at 8:13 a.m. #13
This site was right again -- Nakky said there would be another character revealed and Ehubs predicted it days ahead of time. Nice work to everyone involved!!
Posted by Guile on February 12, 2010 at 8:15 a.m. #14
DAT ASS
Posted by Old Jaded Warrior on February 12, 2010 at 8:17 a.m. #15
nice that they acknowledge some of the annoying comments.
mine simply arise from being so into the SF franchise its not funny.
"• She says they’re working hard enough to make the dream of arcade SSFIV a reality. Believe in them and please wait."
...
well, it's a nice sentiment, but from a coding/development point of view i just cant see it happening :( theyre just going to patch/diff the files from one tree to another? different versions and plugins of visual studio? i dunno. but i'll keep my fingers crossed and support super sf4..
"• Many people wanted to see a Mama Viper costume, but Nakky says if Viper is in mom-mode she’s probably not going to fight."
wtf? like MILF viper? haha f'king perverts :P
"• Someone asks for Evil Ryu. She doesn’t answer the question."
haha no point, america already thinks he's evil. muwaha
"• Someone asks about R.Mika, and she doesn’t really address the question."
haha
cool update, bro.

I don't know man, he seems fond of Charlie enough to wear his clothes
Nah he's as straight as a sonic boom
Posted by Guile on February 12, 2010 at 8:19 a.m. #17
If you didn't play with me when I was bad in SF4, then don't play with me in SSF4 when I get buffed. I don't want any tier whores jump on the bandwagon. They might mess up my awesomeness. That is all.
Posted by ABCD on February 12, 2010 at 8:21 a.m. #18
@16... LOL... Come on man, it's Guile. He's the baddest soldier in the freaking army. Nothing homo about him period.
Posted by curious on February 12, 2010 at 8:26 a.m. #19
o_O do you think Hugo being on that stage indicates that he will be in the game? kind of like boxer on the airplane? lol?!

"She says they’re working hard enough to make the dream of arcade SSFIV a reality. Believe in them and please wait."
Come on, we want to see top japanese players on SSFIV and Togeki for 2011!!!
Posted by tuna on February 12, 2010 at 8:31 a.m. #21
@19
REALLY doubt it look at the textures on that Hugo model hardly nearly as detailed as the playable charecter models. And if he was in the game why would they do a lower quality model for the background. Makes no sense.

sek,
1/ gives you a chance to practice for a tournament, in a tournament (neutral) atmosphere.
2/ don't have to worry about lame crap like configuring buttons.
3/ there's more places outside japan that have multiple linked up vewlix cabinets of sf4. 8 linked cabs. singapore, hong kong, australia, etc.
4/ lag free multiplayer. its never going to happen online until the telco's/isp's install fibre optics right across the board, which isn't going to happen anytime soon.

@ #21 it's not impossible that hugo is in the game just because he's in the background of the stage. Boxer and claw were in the background stage with the airplane on sf4 and they are playable characters..

yeah but you never know, cause maybe capcom already has the finished/playable hugo render finished which they will update on the background hugo just before they finish the game. although i for one doubt they will include him as a playable character in ssf4(mainly because he is not on the rumor list). i really like hugo as a character though and hope they will include him in the (possible)new sf4 game.

I think Dudley (in the very likely event he'll be in this game) will have his taunt changed into a command move if the game remains consistent. But then again Juri and Rose have unique "timer" Ultras, so I could be wrong.

Judging from the drawing style I'm pretty sure it's just a screenshot taken from the previous anime (The Ties that Bind) and has nothing to do with the stuff that's in SSF4. They could've been using that screenshot for comparison purposes or to make a point about the new anime...

C'mon we all know that ibuki, makoto, dudley and hakan are in there. There is really no need for confirmation at this point. The info they should be talking about is the balance and gameplay changes they have made. Seriously who cares about alternate costumes and such?

The only problem that I really have with SSF4 is the anime distribution. Maybe capcom will be nice to us but that's the only department that isn't looking good right now. I know they say you can use that code and download it from a marketplace but I wish they'd just give it to us.
picture side notes:
I think the Abel and Fei-Long pic is what you see after you clock arcade mode
Guile is Jhonny Bravo's big brother
Chun-li's like 'why u didn't turn up 4 our date Ryu?' Ryu's like 'sorry i forgot'
I like Rose (big bubudubers ftw)

That pic with Ryu and Chun-Li is the result of the match ending with no more time on the clock and neither one of them being KO'd. So Ryu lost the match to Chun-Li due less vital. I know this for sure because it just happened to me a minute ago in SF4 with the same characters and the same stances. It's not a cutscene, guys.

She is referring to a new animated film on a separate disc which will be included in some Japanese editions of the game. So she means it won't come with any of the PS3 editions in Japan.
We may still hope it would somehow become available for American PS3 owners, or via download or something. I'd like to see it.

Guile's shades might work like Vega's claw or mask. Might give him a boost in stamina or power and if he gets hit too much and they get knocked off, his stats shoots back down to their SF4 levels (until he picks it up again). As a Guile fan, I wouldn't mind that sort of addition in SSF4, as long as his stats dont drop below SF4 levels when the shades get knocked off.
Posted by JUST FOUND OUT WHAT THE SHADES DO... on February 13, 2010 at 1:56 a.m. #134

LOL???!?! Sonic booms need less recovery time? Wow....
Better not cheap out on actually normalizing booms to fit with lp version and lessening flashkick recovery time
I hope they darken the shades though, they look too "cop like" which makes them look ridiculous.
Maybe they added the shades to prevent players from blocking too much...
Posted by TMD on February 13, 2010 at 3:55 a.m. #136
Rose her new outfit looks sweet, even though she's Italian and the costume is Spanish, but ok...
And I do not like the cutscenes in SF4. The drawing is bad and by the looks of it, the same 'artist' is used in SSF4.
The SSF4 movie, on the other hand, looks awesome. Look at Guile in the trailer of the SSF4 movie and his (and in chun-li's) cutscene in Street Fighter 4 and tell me what's best.

I personally want to see that if you play random battles with friends that it either gives you the option to select alternate costumes or also randomizes the colour and the alternate you get.
I play a lot of just pure random battles against friends because it's a lot of fun being able to try new characters and also beat your friends with characters you have no idea how to play or at least minimal experience with. However I purchased all alternate costumes and it disapoints me that when playing random you always have to have the normal costume for the character.

Posted by Burn on February 15, 2010 at 2:18 a.m. #158
Anyone else get the sneaking suspicion that instead of Ibuki(I know, I know, I liked her in 3S as well) we will be seeing Geki? He used Kunai also. And with the resurrection of other SF1 characters, why not Geki? It would make more sense storyline-wise. And with what she said about the kunai("Could that kunai be hers? Or is it...?!") makes me think that they have a surprise in store a la Geki. I just can't shake the feeling. I know the rumor list is all mighty blah blah blah but thats all it is, a rumor list. Its not 100% correct. Then again, one couldn't just guess Juri. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Q: I've got a feeling that female high school ninja is going to be in the game. Seeing as how we don't yet have any fighters from the SFIII series.
A: Hmm, I see. Aside from SFI, there are also no characters from SFIII in the game either. Could that kunai be hers?! Or is it...?!
Is she trying to say that there are no 3s characters? It would be funny if Hakan had a kunai and instead Juni and Juli were in the game but capcom knows that that would spoil it. Charlie wouldn't be so bad as he's just 1 person like guile but to have basically 3 diff cammy's would be ridiculous.

Hmmmm.....I also have a sneaky feeling that there is a possibility it may not be Ibuki, It may be someone from her clan perhaps. And it's not Geki- he throws shurikens.
The SF timeline however will be a bit strange. If SSF4 takes place at the same time as SF4 then there will be some obvious age issues with ibuki and makoto but then again Look at Sakura, She's still not finished high school even though SF4 takes place like 5 years after alpha so I doubt Capcom don't really care about character aging.

If the rumor-list is true,then I don't understand why she can't just tell us that there'll be no more alpha-characters (like she denies any SF1 characters coming to SSF4 --except for Gen/Adon ofc).
And which female character are they talking about?
Karin?

"Q: Do you think that Mega Zangief F belongs in a Street Fighter game?
A: Yes! It goes well with the nitty-gritty feel of the Street Fighter series."
Hoo boy.
Evidently some of the production designers have lost their way. Here's hoping the cheese-factor that is being brought to the Super table isn't too over the top.
I'm excited for Super, but at the same time we've seen some extremely corny concepts come through so far. Roflcopters, Cosplay Bisons, Robot Giefs, etc. SFIV had an element of class to it that I'm just plain not seeing in Super. At least not yet.
Here's hoping it all plays great though.
Posted by @181 on February 15, 2010 at 5:49 a.m. #184

Hmmm as for the guile's sunglass part.
I remembered once that one of the developers did mention something about if you have all the costumes or color of that character.
The last color of the character if selected will show a little bit of a difference from the rest. Something like that...
Can anyone remember that? i'm lazy to find the source but i'm definitely sure someone said that.

So Ono-sensei and the rest of the development team read our comments? Hope they take our comments about Akuma's 2nd Ultra being awful into consideration.
Also, who else in the SF world throws a Kunai besides Ibuki? If it were a knife, then i'd say Rolento. Maybe they're just messing with us as usual.
Capcom's such a tease. meh...

No,Ibuki is throwing that kunai.
I think that if there's gonna be a female character from SFA3 upper then it's probably Karin
She seems to have a fanbase,lol,tho probably nobody uses her.
Anyways,neither Maki/Karin or other fanservice-character has been mentioned in the rumorlist so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

They just cannot announce it yet.
It's on PS3 and Xbox that they make their money, so announcing the PC version would just hurt them. And I guess the same can be said for the Arcade version, since Nakky even mentioned it. We'll probably hear something a couple of months after the April release: all the megahyped phags will have already bought it by that time.

What if Hakan doesn't exist lol.
Maybe Capcom decided to leave Hakan out for SSF4 and let him be the main villain for the next SF-version.
Why else would you give a completely new character so little attention?
Imo,they should've revealed Hakan around the time the Alpha-characters were revealed.
And reveal the alpha + SF3 characters around this time.
Because I'm more interested in Hakan than anything else lol (the rest of the rumored characters are all playable in SF3).

Posted by CHARGE E. HONDA on February 15, 2010 at 12:19 p.m. #226
bison psycho crusher is mediocre at best and is for combos so theirs no need to remove it ,
The reason sf4 is imbalanced is because of the general mechanics that governs the game , ex.
1.Health has a direct association to ultras meaning sagat can get two ultras with some nice health still left back and gen can only get one although he runs a higher risk trying to get you into an ultra.
2.Damage reduction is redundant ..combos have the greatest value for those who individual moves already pull a lot of power and usually have the easiest thus safest combos further increasing the difference between characters of high damaging moves to those who don't.
3.Those with high attack power usually have higher health ,a higher ability to control spacing ,easier way to build ex bar more useful ultra set ups and less ultra whiffs

You don't seem to understand what THEY meant.
No there are no 3rd strike characters because THEY haven't been announced YET.
You get my drift?
If it isn't announced then Capcom will deny it all because they wants to suprise people.
Luckily for us,we got the rumorlist pretty early (around september I believe) and it's turning into the Factlist.
Posted by where's the ex chars? on February 15, 2010 at 2:42 p.m. #235
Why arent the ex characters in it?! I understand not putting kairi in the story but Allen snider would be perfect for the story since there are new rivals and new characters and even some sf players dont know about the ex characters who are definitely some of the best characters made for street fighter.
Allen Snider would be a perfect for this game because he would bring more variety to the game. Also otther ex characters. What happened? Why did capcom drop the ex characters??? I know akira owns them but surely they would be willing to make another pay day and besides they arent doing anything with characters anyway. I think it would be nice to see them
Posted by Ex would be fun on February 15, 2010 at 2:48 p.m. #236
I guess the licensing is the biggest issue and I think Capcom would rather make a ripoff then buy them off.
Would be fun tho,rival-wise
Allen Snider -> Ken
Skullomania -> El Fuerte (clash of the cool styles lol)
D.dark -> Guile
Darun -> Zangief
etc.
Posted by @236 on February 15, 2010 at 2:53 p.m. #237
^
Yes, Arika owns them, and it should be obvious why Capcom doesn't want to pay an outside company for the use of those characters when they have some characters they don't have to pay for that they can include instead.
While I was a big fan of some of the designs, such as Skullomania and Garuda, it's not likely you will be seeing them again.

We decided not to put any third strike characters in this time around but there will be quite a few in super turbo. The last four characters we will announce are Evil Ryu, Charlie, Shadow, and Karin.
