Developers discuss how Ibuki plays and looks in Super Street Fighter 4 Super Street Fighter 4's Battle Planner, Sano, joins the rest of the crew to discuss Ibuki in the latest blog entry that was translated by Azrael.

Hello everyone. This is Tsukamoto.

The Street Fighter 3 characters have finally been announced! This week, of the 3 new characters, I'd like to focus on Ibuki.

I'm sure everyone would like to hear more about her moves and what it took to get her in Street Fighter 4, so director Okada as well as the main battle planner will be joining me this time around.

So now let's meet the battle planner.

Sano:
Hello, I'm the planner Sano. I'm the type of old guy who wakes up early, goes to work, works until late, and then gets up early the very next morning (laughs). For the development of Super Street Fighter 4, I'm particularly working on things relating to the battle, and character adjustments. Since I'm an old guy, you'll find rice crackers on top of my desk. Just give me rice crackers and tea and I'm in paradise.

First off, tell us the details of how Ibuki was added to the game.

Okada:
We've mentioned this several times before, but a basis of the Street Fighter 4 series has been to celebrate 20 years of Street Fighter, by having a reunion of sorts. We were able to get Alpha characters in Street Fighter 4, so this time we wanted to give Street Fighter 3 fans something, and as Ibuki was the most popular of the female characters she was decided on.

What do you think is Ibuki's charm?

Okada:
First, I think its her appearance. In other games we have cyber-ninjas, or ninjas in regular clothes - there are a lot of ninjas, but always with sort of a twist. Ibuki has the mask and the ninja outfit, so you know immediately that she's a ninja, and I think a lot of players really got in tune with that. Also, while she has this old-time ninja look, she herself is in the middle of her youth and is a girl of the current times, so that contrast is also appealing.

How do you bring out the feel of Ibuki in Super Street Fighter 4?

Sano:
For Ibuki's moves, we didn't want players who used her in Street Fighter 3 to feel that something was off, so we're making her playstyle as close to Street Fighter 3 Ibuki as possible. Also, as Okada said, she's an orthodox ninja at first glance, but her character is one of a normal girl, so we are trying to bring out her feminine side in her lines and dialogue as well as in her proportions.


The text says "Oh, the sailor school uniform is nice! I'd like to try it on once myself."

What has been retained from Street Fighter 3?

Okada:
The most important thing is her playstyle and feel.

Sano:
Even though they are the same series, the systems of Street Fighter 4 and Street Fighter 3 are pretty different. So with the game's speed and timing, there are certain things that just have to change. But, for the players who have been playing since Street Fighter 3, I think they have a natural feel for when to do a punch, kick, or special move - its ingrained into them. So we're making adjustments to try and preserve that feeling as much as possible.

Okada:
So we've given Ibuki a super jump. In Street Fighter 4, the only character who could super jump was C. Viper. It was necessary for putting together many of her combos, and I felt that was interesting. So for Ibuki, same as Viper, we're making adjustments for Ibuki to have combos that utilize the super jump.

Were there any difficulties in making Ibuki?

Sano:
She has the Kasumi Gake (command dash) and the Tsuijigoe (ninja flip) ... The Kasumi Gake closes in on the opponent in an instant from afar, and the Tsuijigoe flies over their heads. But unlike other special moves, these moves don't actually attack. In Street Fighter 3, if Ibuki used the Kasumi Gake or Tsuijigoe to get in close, afterwards if you could read what she was going to do you could fend it off with a parry. But since there's no parry in Street Fighter 4, if Ibuki suddenly went from being full screen to in your face, that was a little hard to deal with. And with her target combos, if you ate a jab then you were going to be eating a lot of moves after that.

That'd be pretty scary to fight against...

Sano:
At the beginning of development, we put in her target combos almost the same as they were in Street Fighter 3. What happened is that if she got in close once, the match was pretty much over (laughs). So first off, we did a thorough tweaking of the distances of her moves like Kasumi Gake and Tsuijigoe. We re-did it over and over again, so we were really a lot of trouble for the motion director.

Tsukamoto:
No no, its because of things like that that the games becomes interesting, so they are necessary. There are plenty of areas where if one thing works then another won't. Achieving balance within the system also works this way.

Okada:
In Street Fighter 4 we have the Focus Attack, which is sort of similar to parries, but as Focus only absorbs one hit, it loses badly to target combos. So for this game, finding a balance between target combos and the Focus system was our biggest worry.

How did you deal with target combos?

Sano:
There were a lot of things to worry about, but we eventually made them along the reasoning that they're not so much a combo as they are a special move. For example, for the Shoryuken in this game, with one command you get two hits, not withstanding whether it actually connects on the opponent. For Ibuki's target combo, in order to get the second hit you have to push the button a second time - that's the easiest way to think of it I believe. The damage of one hit is fairly small, but if you land the entire target combo you get the damage of a special move.

Okada:
Just from that, target combos might sound kind of weak. But unlike regular special moves, you can stop the target combo in the middle. So if your opponent has blocked up to the 2nd hit, you can not throw out the 3rd, look for an opening, and then start attacking again. This kind of usage will give you an advantage I think.

Were there any details put into her appearance?

Sano:
For appearance, it would have to be the "zanzou" (after image). For Third Strike characters, when they start moving quickly they leave an after image behind. In order to get this in Street Fighter 4 our programmers and designers worked really hard.

Okada:
At the beginning of development, when we said we think we can make the after image happen, the staff was skeptical, wondering if it would make the processing too heavy. When you have a bunch of 3D models on the screen at once, it makes the processing burden really heavy and then things start to drop.

Sano:
We gave a lot of thought about how to make our ideal after images without putting too much burden on the game. The result is that in Super Street Fighter 4, to get that ninja-like after image we've used effects. Our lead effects designer did his best to make it look like an after image without any feeling of it being odd, and I think it came out pretty good.

What's the move where we can get the best look at the after image?

Sano:
That would be the Kasumi Gake. We poured our blood and sweat into creating it, so if everyone can use this move a lot I'd be really happy (laughs).

Is there anything else you'd like us to pay attention to?

Okada:
Although her face is usually concealed by the mask, she really does show a lot of facial expressions, so if everyone would notice them I'd be really happy. Since you can't see all of her face, we tried to make it so that you could understand her faces of pain or joy just from the areas you can see above the mask. For other characters, if you could only see half their face you might not understand their expressions, but for Ibuki that area really needs to be feminine, especially from the side. So for the designers, she was probably the most difficult character to make.

Sano:
For the demos of Ibuki, even if we zoom in on her all we can see of her expressions is her eyes, so the facial adjustments for her took longer than the other characters. If I think about it now, I think the facial adjustment time was about the same amount of time as we needed to adjust her moves (laughs). The designer would say "How about this?" and we'd look at it and say "Change this area!" We went back and forth like that up until the final deadlines.

Okada:
When she says her move names, you can't see her mouth, but her entire facial area is properly animated.

Sano:
Yes, we didn't slack off just because you don't get to see it. She has plenty of expressions, the same as the other characters!

What type of player do you think Ibuki is best suited for?

Okada:
Well, she's a character where you'll be plenty busy with inputs, so maybe I can recommend her to players who liked using C. Viper in Street Fighter 4, where execution is essential, or for those players who like characters with lots of options.

Sano:
For me, I think Ibuki is suited to those who want to get the most out of a single character - would you call it an inquiring mind? The more you use her, the more you'll find combos, and that's necessary for her. I think that aspect is fairly interesting.

Would you say she's more of an advanced character than one for beginners?

Sano:
Beginners can use her too, but if I had to pick I'd say she's suited for intermediate. The more you improve with her the more fun she becomes, and you also get stronger as well.

Okada:
The target combo requires rapid inputs, but the commands are simple enough to execute, so I don't think she's a character that beginners will hate. Even if you just give her a first try you can get some dynamic movements out of her, and before you know it you'll have her moving like a pro.

Do you have any tips for using Ibuki?

Okada:
As Ibuki is fast, you can use small movements to throw off your opponent and then attack them from there. Ibuki's strength lies in close quarters, so rush your opponent down without giving them the chance to attack back - I think that'll be what decides victory.

Sano:
From there, Ibuki's strength will lie in her target combos, so skillful use of those will make for a strong Ibuki. For example, take the infamous Sagat LOL Combo (Tiger Uppercut, FADC, F+RH, Ultra) - for opponents who are just looking to land that, it'll be easy to start reading their patterns. But for Ibuki, she has many different target combos, and she can say "Well, this this combo won't work then I'll go this route!". So she can dish out a lot of different target combos, and her opponents won't be able to read her as easily.

What characters would you like to see Ibuki match up against?

Sano:
If we're talking about movements, that would have to be Ibuki vs C. Viper. For both, their specials and execution are essential, so both will have to show off some tricky play. You thought you were going to pressure your opponent from the air but now you are on the receiving end - I feel like it would become a fiery battle like that.

Tsukamoto:
C. Viper has the Seismo Hammer, right? She has a lot of setups for it, getting you just at the right distance. So I wonder if this will be a difficult battle for Ibuki.

Do you have any thoughts for the players looking forward to Ibuki?

Sano:
First, please give Ibuki a try. I'd like for everyone to get an idea of how nice it is to use her. As was said before she's somewhat close to C. Viper, but more than Viper you get a more direct feel of her moves, so I hope you enjoy it.

Okada:
Ibuki is cute even at a first glance, so that might be what you focus on, but we've also put a lot of effort into her motions and her design, so please pay attention to her whole production. Please realize her charm, even behind the mask, while playing her.

Tsukamoto:
As this was a character that many people were waiting for, I tried to include a lot of images. Ibuki fans, did you enjoy it?

For various reasons, we couldn't show more skin around her pelvic bone, but I rather like the look of her costume. Her flowing hair is also a nice impression. So I hope you all use her at least here and there.

Next week we'll be talking about Makoto. See you then!

lol, more skin around the pelvic bone.

Would really have loved it, if they go ahead with showing more skin in that area.

she will attempt to rush down... right into my metsu shoryuken.

but i'll still give her a try.

i'm impressed with the way these guys interview and conduct themselves.

 

Posted by Hakan on February 22, 2010 at 9:48 p.m. #6

Time to oil up Ibuki!!!!

 

Posted by JoontheBaboon on February 22, 2010 at 9:50 p.m. #7

I would love to see a good Ibuki go against a good Viper.

 

Posted by Well... on February 22, 2010 at 9:52 p.m. #8

If she's close to C. Viper, who is an excellent character with the proper execution, I guess we can say the same for Ibuki, eh?

A-Tier is slim.
Top B-Tier is where I see her at.

 

Posted by Duder on February 22, 2010 at 9:53 p.m. #9

Wow, that was a lot of info, cool stuff!

vicious little thing.

Posted by C. Viper on February 22, 2010 at 9:59 p.m. #12

Thats what appealed me to Viper, the amount of options, now Im gonna have a mean one two punch with viper and ibuki.......YES!

 

Posted by Locustard on February 22, 2010 at 10 p.m. #13

Ibuki will fall before the might of Juri and her fancy eye

Damn, for a hot chick lookin shinobi, she sure has some manly arms

 

Posted by The target on February 22, 2010 at 10:01 p.m. #15

Giving all the sf3 characters their chains might prove to be a balancing mistake. If uninterruptible the pressure you can apply with them really puts the advantage on the attacker's side.

 

Posted by jon;j on February 22, 2010 at 10:06 p.m. #16

@17 mashing DP during block is gonna be good vs these upclose characters

@15

You can always focus attack on the last hit, it's not like they do chip damage.

Posted by IBUKI on February 22, 2010 at 10:25 p.m. #25

I just hope they didn't cut any of my moves. Especially EX Back, Down, Back, Kick to punish the hell out of fireballs.

 

Posted by Juri on February 22, 2010 at 10:26 p.m. #26

She looks like she's in good shape...

I see nothing wrong with more female fighters showing up for me to prove my dominance over. Let the game begin.

 

Posted by Ex Ein on February 22, 2010 at 10:30 p.m. #27

Guys Ibuki's only 17

http://i45.tinypic.com/34oq7x0.jpg PLEASE LET THIS BE REAL even the shadows on the attack are on point

 

Posted by Can't Wait on February 22, 2010 at 10:31 p.m. #28

I really can't wait to use Ibuki, I love her speed and her hair ^_^

 

Posted by Ex Ein on February 22, 2010 at 10:32 p.m. #29

Ex Ein and she's only 17 if this is a year before SI if not that means she's some where between 13 and 16

 

Posted by @ 30 on February 22, 2010 at 10:35 p.m. #30

Karin is probably not in the game. The rumor list has been way too accurate at this point to be discredited now. Though, I'd be more interested in Rolento or Sodom (or Karin) than Hakan.

 

Posted by Cptn Obvious on February 22, 2010 at 10:35 p.m. #31

Ken has his target combo from 3s and its very unsafe and no one uses it. I imagine the way they compared target combos to a special move like shoryuken they will be punishable on block. It wouldn't be fair that most character have to rely on 1 frame links and some chars can just do safe target combos for equal damage.

 

Posted by Dude on February 22, 2010 at 10:40 p.m. #32

I have no problem with the super jump, but I'd like it better if it was like in MvC2, were you just need to hit up during an attack.

 

Posted by Burn on February 22, 2010 at 10:43 p.m. #33

Ibuki won't stand a chance against my Dee Jay! I'll be Maxing Out, relaxing all cool and all, shootin some B-ball outside of the school.. !

 

Posted by Ex Ein on February 22, 2010 at 10:44 p.m. #34

dude look at the detail of that, I go to an art school and am taking a 3D modeling class(that uses maya like SF4 and SSF4 dose), and trust me I can tell the either that's a VERY VERY elaborate shop or it's real, rumor list be damned.

 

Posted by Yes!!! on February 22, 2010 at 10:46 p.m. #35

hell yea! It's time for some ibuki! ^o^

 

Posted by Ex Ein on February 22, 2010 at 10:46 p.m. #36

and I swear if they do annouce Karin it will just be like a WTF! that I doubt that "rumor list will fail you" would even guess this late into the list

 

Posted by @Burn on February 22, 2010 at 10:48 p.m. #37

when a couple of guy who were up to no good started making trouble in my neighborhood, I got into one little fight and my mom got scared and said "you're moving with you aunt and uncle in Bel-Air".

 

Posted by @ 34 on February 22, 2010 at 10:56 p.m. #38

Ken may have his SF3 link but.. its not as good as it was you legit have to dead close to your opponent other wise its a good chance your HP will miss. I still use it but I miss Ken as he was in 3S he has good pokes and all in IV but.. his standing MK annoys me I wish it was his 3S one and his HK is too slow D: but oh well. Guy and Ibuki ftw :D

 

Posted by @40 on February 22, 2010 at 10:59 p.m. #39

From the full original version of the song:
I beg and pleaded with her, throughout the day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and she gave me a ticket
I put my Walkman on and said "Might as well kick it"
1st class, yo this is bad,drinking Orange Juice out of a Champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
hmmm this might be alright

Posted by chickenwings on February 22, 2010 at 11:09 p.m. #40

So just like viper we wont see many ibuki's online, so that means the ones out there will either be very good or really suck(i can imagine them trying the akuma strat of jump back fireball/dagger). And i can imagine her alt being a school girl outfit(they could be lazy and give her sakuras gear LOL).

Other then that they did a good job on her model, i just wish they did better with some of the old ones(cammy and blanka look terrible).

 

Posted by @ Ex Ein on February 22, 2010 at 11:14 p.m. #41

That picture is so fake. Why does the Karin model look so much more detailed than Sakura's? It's an obvious photoshop. The fake Dudley vs Balrog screenshot that came out months ago looks more realistic.

 

Posted by @43 on February 22, 2010 at 11:15 p.m. #42

@43

I think Cammy looks really great to be honest. Better than in any other game shes been in.

I'm glad that there wont be many Ibuki's online and im glad they kept her as a really technical and difficult character to play, relying on execution.

I just hope her alt outfit isnt something stupid like Makotos. I'd go for schoolgirl/torn up ninja clothes.

 

Posted by Burn on February 22, 2010 at 11:17 p.m. #43

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said "fresh" and it had dice in the mirror! If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought man forget it. Yo Holmes to Bel-Air!

Daaaaaaamn, her tits be huge!

 

Posted by darko_p86 on February 22, 2010 at 11:45 p.m. #46

sure, lets discuss some topics about the new charaters. bla bla bla bla..that...bla bla bla this... but hey, once its time to talk about how they twaeked some of the low tier characters mainly GUILE, then this is what they sound..

"well folks...things arent what they seem. Guile is very interesting...yeah Guile has potential...

AND some sh!t like this

Seth Killian:"As for Gen and Guile, if there were an "Anniversary Edition"-style game or Street Fighter 4 (where you could choose either the Street Fighter 4 or Super Street Fighter 4 versions of your characters), I suspect almost everyone would choose the SSF4 version of their character — including Gen and Guile."

now HOW THE HELL is that supposed to make any sense? WTF does all his BS tell me. Of course i would pick SSF4 Guile
because I would be FORCED to pick him.

EVERYONE would be FORCED to pick the SSF4 version of their character. WHY??? well who the hell is going to keep playing SF4 once SSF4 hits the market??? maybe 3 ppl. you really wanna play the same next to no people in a video game? Almost everyone or everyone will eventually move to SSF4!!!

SO WHY would I go back to SF4??? no point in that.

see they (Seth) keep dodgin the questions and avoid giving us the truthful answers to what we really wanna know. That makes me think...

DID they twaek Guile at all, or are they full of BS. Because as far as I think, all they did was give him a second ultra.

 

Posted by Ex Ein on February 22, 2010 at 11:46 p.m. #47

@44
it's not that detailed, which Sakura's looks like crap it's cause it's a girl version of ryu(one of the most plain looking characters beside SF1) in a school girl outfit, Karin's detail is no greater then Gen's alternate infact it's basically Sakura's outfit with a modifed version of vipers boots,the shorts don't take up much detail(about as much as Sakura's Panties do), the hair has little physical detail(Compared to vipers hair karins in 3D would be a cake walk to animate) the bow is the only original thing I would think would cause problems

 

Posted by Arcsy on February 22, 2010 at 11:48 p.m. #48

Yeah, Ibuki is cute even with that mask on her face. They really did a great job in making some expressions on Ibuki's face. Just watching the Ultra showcase of Ibuki proves it!!

Thanks Capcom! I can't wait to get this game!!!

 

Posted by @49 on February 22, 2010 at 11:49 p.m. #49

why would anyone go back to third strike? cause they don't like what they did in SF4 kinda like if I wanted to play a sean that was not nerfed to hell I'd need to play SI

 

Posted by WTF on February 22, 2010 at 11:51 p.m. #50

Ibuki = scary buffed.

 

Posted by Gentleman Jim on February 22, 2010 at 11:53 p.m. #51

What if the rumor list was to distract us? Keep us so preoccupied with the named TEN characters that no one would think to look for more?

If there are a handful of "secret" characters, I'm still hoping for Elena!

 

Posted by @30 on February 22, 2010 at 11:54 p.m. #52

It could be the Karin's Sakura skin on PC with what looks to be Abel's wheel kick animation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgpW3q... The uniform and shoes look the same however you can't see the face so its hard to tell, also the character icon looks bigger than usual.

 

Posted by darko_p86 on February 22, 2010 at 11:57 p.m. #53

@52

Im talkin about online play. even then, the mainstreem of the SF community is going to move from SF4 to SUPER.

Its like having a nice car. You lOVE IT, yet yet there is going to be an upgrade of that same car for a cheaper price with tons of gadgets in/on it....so do the math

even the dumbest out of the three stooges would move on

 

Posted by Justinbehungry on February 23, 2010 at midnight #54

don't be talking about my baby cammy, sayin she's ugly!

Really hope ibuki is pretty difficult to use, hopefully I wont see so many people using her like i do with ryu/akuma/ken/sagat/balrog.

hands off guys!

 

Posted by @56 on February 23, 2010 at 12:10 a.m. #55

@56
thing is what if those gadgets don't turn out to be good? (again third strike to SF4) and the fact of the matter is you still have to pay for a brand new one after buying the old one!!! even if it is cheaper and if it's not as good why do that?

so no not the dumbest of the three stooges would do that.

the mainstream SF members(Justin,Gootecks, IPW,GYTO,Alex Valle, Daigo) might move on to SSF4 however they might also stick with original 4 until SF5 or SSF4 Turbo comes out.

 

Posted by @37 on February 23, 2010 at 12:10 a.m. #56

Not that it matters, but:
I believe SF4 used Softimage, 3ds Max, and Motionbuilder as their 3d software tools as evidenced by this article:

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/...

 

Posted by Ex Ein on February 23, 2010 at 12:19 a.m. #57

59 Autodesk is the maker of Maya and notice when they mention softimage(how they made the characters) they say MAIN tool not only, I can show you some pretty amazing stuff in maya at my level of work (I've only had about 72 hours hands on in total including home work and messing around). Autodesk was attempting to push new/less known software by mention those and not Maya(one of there most well known tools)

 

Posted by Harima on February 23, 2010 at 12:24 a.m. #58

Nice
I'm glad she plays like Viper. I wanted to use Viper, but I quit b/c she was alot of work to get right and my execution is crap (props to u Viper users).

My execution has improved now, and Ibuki was my main in sf3 so the choice is obvious :p

 

Posted by (59) on February 23, 2010 at 12:25 a.m. #59

Autodesk has been buying up all kinds of softwares lately. I know Maya is good, I used it for the majority of my animation classes. Sounds like they were impressed by XSI since they got it from Softimage (it's now Autodesk XSI).

anyways..back on topic.. Ibuki should be sweet, I like the more mobile characters and it sounds like she has enough options to keep me more interested than most of the other characters. Noone's really "clicked" with me yet.

I'm thinking I'll main her or Cody.

youre right there. but SUPER is going to be just maybe 3 inces apart from SF4. Heck, most people wont even know the difference if you clearly pointed it out to them. Its probably going to a bad game if it turns out as a negative to the individual. Akuma for instance, has been rumored to be suck more than in SF4. If in fact he's worse than SF4 then SOME (notice SOME is capitalized) people, not all may still play SF4. But how long? once they realize that MOST of the SF4 community has moved on, even they will eventually give in. May be because they are forced, may be
beacuse the challnege of winning with Akuma despite being low tier, may be some other reason. But eventually SF4 is going to be replaced by all of the players who are now playing it with SUPER.

It's amazing how these supposedly leaked screenshots are always of incredibly low quality. Not just pics taken with lousy cameras, which is somewhat acceptable, but even in cases where it's just a screen capture, like this one, the picture is scaled down significantly and later saved at a truly horrible JPEG compression level, one that you must intentionally use because no software these days would offer that as the default. It's almost as if they were always trying to hide something.

I think you completely missed his point. In Hyper SFII Anniversary Edition you can pick a character from any their SFII incarnations, thus reverting any balancing changes. More infamously, in Super Turbo people prefer old (Super) Sagat over new (ST) Sagat. He's saying that if the same were to happen in SFIV, people would prefer the super version of these characters over the old ones, i.e. even if they are inferior in certain aspects, they are still overall superior.

I've been the guy responding to you
3 inches can be very far off especially say if your making something work. I don't care for the causal market commented her cause I'm talking about people here, who do go into frame data, priority and hit boxes, which should be the focus of this conversation. for the Akuma example all I have to say is Super Turbo, until HD remix some people where still playig off the 3DO version of the game....and yes I'm serious, Darksydephil was a great Superturbo player who actually beat Wong on Super Turbo, which wong was good at. cause what if more then 5 characters(Akuma,Sagat,Rufus,Ken,Gen for exmpale) in SSf4 that were good in SF4 suck to alot of players compared to the SF4 counter parts?
Again with your last sentence how do you know that for sure you are assured the game dosen't suck that a majority will be happy with the changes and that majority will include alot of the larger part of the SF4 community.

 

Posted by @Ex Ein on February 23, 2010 at 12:49 a.m. #64

Ok you completely missed my point. In that picture, Karin's textures looks more crisp compared to Sakura's.. clear indication that the pic is a big fake. I am not talking about how 'uncreative' Sakura's outfit/model is. Their not going to put Karin in Super SF4, in my honest opinion she is another fan service character that is just a 'female' representation of Ken, as opposed to 'female' representation of Ryu being Sakura. I do respect the fact that her moveset is more unique compared to Sakura's. But anyway, there are a lot of other characters out there that are more fitted to be in Super. Unfortunately their not going to be added, Hakan will be the last character revealed, and thats it. New characters may be released via DLC in the future but that's a bit doubtful.

To the guy who is talking about Karin being the final person in the game SHE IS NOT. That picture is a total photoshop.

You'd have to be in crazy denial to not think Hakan is the last character anyway. He was on the original rumor list which has been 100% correct about characters. He's supposed to be an Turkish oil wrestler and the last new trailer ended with a distinctly middle eastern accented man saying "Looks like it's time to oil up." Hakan is the final character, that Karin pic is a shoop, GOOD DAY!

@66

Im am sure that most people will move because compared to SF4, SUPER's extra content outweighs the benifits by GREEEEEEEAAAT numers vs. the individuals characters being negatively impaceted.

I main Guile in SF4. Even IF Guile were lets say to get the stamina of Akuma, which is lower than Guile's, I'd still play SUPER because most of the community would move as well, the challenege, and all the exra content which is

-new characters
-new ultras
-new stages
-BONUS satges
-cool online modes
and whatever i may have missed

how will SF4 stack up to that? it wont! even if my main is toned down, im still rollin with SUPER becuase the change is next to none. But i wanna know WHAT EXACTLY the change is. So Seth, stop duckin and dodgin muhfuker and answer the damn questions.

besides, SF4 will be sold or traded in anyway, because who would keep a SF4 copy when they know they would benifit by getting rid of the old, and in with the new.

And YES, i have also heard about the extra content for SF4 which will make no difference. SUPER will still outweigh the benifits by a Jordan's slam-dunk

Posted by @the guy complaining bout guile.... on February 23, 2010 at 7 a.m. #116

and complaining about s-kills ambiguity. Someone else tried to explain this to you but I don't think you got it, so let me give it a shot. again, i'm not flaming you i just want you to understand. when s-kill said players would pick the ssfiv guile over the sfiv guile, he was in no way implying that people would go back to playing sfiv. He meant that if in ssfiv (one game and one game only) you had two versions of guile, in that one game not in sfiv but in ssfiv. ok so to recap, up to this point, we are pretending that ssfiv has two guile characters: one of them is the tweaked guile for ssfiv and the other is guile just as he was in sfiv BUT this is still all on the Super Street Fighter IV game. OK so two Guiles on one game hypothetically. If we are clear so far the rest should be cake. Now when deciding, while playing super street fighter iv, which of the two guiles to pick, everyone would pick the tweaked version of guile to play in ssfiv as opposed to the non-tweaked version of guile in ssfiv. Point being, without being too specific, that the guile that will appear in super offers only improvements over the guile from sfiv and no drawbacks. You wouldn't go with original guile even IF you had the option.

Seth Killian has a job to do and that is to relay information consistantly to the public regarding developing ssfiv, he is the go between for the players and the company. He can't blow his whole wad by telling us every detail about the game from day 1 and then have no job to do for the next couple of months until the game comes out. There are 35 characters to cover and everyone wants to know about THEIRS (me included) but just because your character is not the first or even the 10th on the list to inform the public about their improved gameplay and balance doesn't mean he's dodging your question. It's just not the right time to talk about that particular Character. So be patient and wait. There's more than two months until the game releases, what are you going to do with the information between now and then anyways? So just patiently wait, be thankful for the mass of information we are getting and I'm sure they will talk about your main in due time. S-kill is doing his job very well. Sorry to make this so long, but if i didn't make it long to really drive the point in we would have to read numerous posts twice this length from the same people bitching about guile and saying seth killian dodges questions. So STFU already and wait!!

Ok I have seen a bunch of you top secret dudes before and I'm gonna try again. Where do you live? I really want to come over and try out your final build of SSF4. If I could just obtain your understanding of Hakan's playstyle and movelist there would be a lot less speculation. So please at the very least put up a video showing how Hakan plays that way I can understand why he is so bad.

@49
Guile had his normals buffed according to at least one article and if you know much about super turbo things would make more sense. In the anniversary edition of super turbo you could pick different versions of your character of choice. They all gave different ways to play. Old Sagat is infamous for being very powerful and having insanely fast tiger shots so he is picked more often. Old Honda can apply much stronger pressure with hundred hands and most old characters sacrafice a super for better damage and normals. Seth was saying if you were given that kind of choice in SSF4 that SSF4's Guile would be dominant in every way. Old Guile would have no redeeming qualities when compared to SSF4 Guile. That means he is better. Does anyone know how much better? Heck no. But we don't know about a lot of changes and will have plenty of fun figuring them out when the game comes out.

@Karin picture
Very well done but I kind of doubt it.

@rumour list will fail you
whats the new percentage at now that we have the command dash added as well to the over 60% correct rate?

@Perverts
There are plenty of ero fighters made in Japan if the only thing you care about is looking at girls.

As always nice to see more rushdown options

Clearly you fail to notice that every new challenger in SF4 and soon to be SSF4 has brought a very unique and fun playstyle. Fuerte may be weak but has very strong mix up, mobility, and Run Stop Fierce. Abel brings combos to grapplers and has the one extremely effective command grab in the game (it beats grabs. Even Zangief's Ultra). C. Viper is so unique I shoudn't even really have to explain. Rufus is a heavy rushdown character in a world where people always complain about people blocking and throwing fireballs. He may be stupidly good but he is a combo and juggle heavy character in a community that hates turltling and damage scaling (his combos do so much you wouldn't think they scale). Juri just about gets the same explanation I gave for Viper but with a twist of Rufus, and a custom combo ultra.

If you haven't caught on Capcom has brought some fun and unique newcomers onto the scene, so some of us are looking forward to how Hakan will turn out. Also what is with the hate for homosexuals? Did you get jumped by one on a dark corner? All of the gay people I have met in my life have been well mannered and sometimes you can't even tell if they are gay because they are just like anyone else.

Did anyone see this? It was post #1211 in the Famitsu scan post. It was posted by a JDWheeze??? Looked interesting but no one followed up on it?

*****"Reliable source says the next VS game is going to be Street Fighter VS Capcom Ultimate. There will be 75 selectable characters. They have been working on the game since they finished HDR. Close to every SF character ever and all your favorite Capcom characters. 2.5 graphics and no story. Expect summer announcement and spring 2011 release. Also reliable source says 2 classic Capcom fighters redux for 360 and PS3 due this year."

Since someone knows something they shouldn't I might as well clear this up a little, not too much. First off tentative title is Capcom Versus. 62+ characters to be included with 2/3 SF characters(idea was to include most of the SF world). Obviously Capcom USA was responsible for HDR this game is a joint Capcom project including both US and Japan which includes the staff from the MVC2 update(Me). This game is intended to be fast and be a true extension of MVC2. Expect maybe a hint after SSFIV but nothing till fall.

Thats it bye for now.*****

It will be sooo annoying if this hakan guy turns out to be a joke like el fuerte. There are numerous other characters Capcom could have included. Rolento, Charlie/Shadow but yet they put this guy, let's hope he will be a pleasant surprise cos I read a post somwhere saying that Justin wong has seen the character and said his gameplay largely revolves around how much oil is on his body and that the range on of his moves depends on how much oil is on his body.

This Hakan doesn't sound like a serious character at all.

i'll keep an interest in playing vanilla sf4 until such time they release super sf4 in japanese arcades.

because the japanese are the number 1 players.

others have had numerous chanced before to step up to the plate, but have failed; as history as shown us.

 

Posted by bleh on February 23, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. #142

still gonna play super sf4 too...

but leaving out the #1 players is unacceptable

i dont care if xbox live is more convienient than going to an arcade.

get off your asses and do some exercise every once in a while :]

I'm worried about Ibuki's alt since he win screen shows her pulling the face mask down - this means that they'll probably give the alt some kind of mask as well...

I was hoping for a casual alt (like they were gonna give Ryu) since Ibuki has no excuse not to be wearing casual clothes since she is a teen girl. Hell, even one of her win poses in SF3 had her change into casual wear.

 

Posted by Why the Karin hate on February 23, 2010 at 10:44 a.m. #144

It amazes me why some people don't like certain characters.

It's the same with the Dudley-hate,you got people claiming:
-he's a balrog-clone/charge character.
-Eek, another boxer in the game! WAY TOO MUCH BOXERS IN SF.

With Karin you got people claiming that she sucks because:
- She's Sakura's 'Ken'(tho having a completely unique fighting style).
- Another schoolgirl (so what? SF is full of shoto's).
- Mediocre character (she's high-tier in SFA3).
- Lili clone (Karin has been around since what? 1998?)

So,I don't understand why there's hate for a character when most of the haters PROBABLY never used her.

Tho Karin is cool and all (I love rekka-characters) I'd rather see Rolento in SSF4T (or whatever the next version is called).

Posted by Jodai on February 23, 2010 at 11 a.m. #146

Does anyone know if Ibuki's command throw is going to be blockable in this game or not? I'm assuming so, because it looked like she comboed into it in the vs. Makoto video.

It's probably for the better. No need for a rushdown queen to have an unblockable command throw.

Posted by Crono on February 23, 2010 at 11:11 a.m. #148

Balrog is a charge character..... Dudley is a motion character. The only thing they have in common is that they are both boxers, the reason why Karin isn't in the game is because she isn't popular.... simple as that.

 

Posted by @154 on February 23, 2010 at 11:56 a.m. #149

Whether you understood the statement that seth was making by the ssfiv guile being better than sfiv guile is not my issue. In fact the only reason I felt the need to reiterate it was because of the seemingless brainless posts by EVERYONE who hasn't heard details on there character yet still continue to complain.

Furthermore, I respect the fact that you would rather play a character to have to work for your wins. However, I do not play Sagat. Nor do I have a problem with Sagat how he is. And if you enjoy challenges so much, why don't you challenge yourself to learning how to consistently beat Sagat. It's obvious that you can't if you are randomly calling out people as noob sagat players that indeed are not. And as a matter of fact I have a LOT more to say, but this is a comments section on the internet and not meant to be a pissing contest. Luckily for you, you don't have to suffer the consequences of spouting off at the mouth because you are hiding behind a computer monitor. So don't act hard unless you are in a position to do something about....."PUNK" haha.

@124
124: "Seth Killian knows Guile will be garbage. He already admitted it."
124: "Plus, how can you believe anything he says?"

If you can't believe anything Seth Killian says, why would you believe him that Guile will be garbage? I'm not saying he won't be, nor am I saying he will be. You are discrediting your own source that Guile is garbage. However, I whole heartedly agree with you that yes indeed it is Seth's job to sell people on hype for these games. No hard feelings toward you, I understand your point nonetheless.

 

Posted by @126 &158 on February 23, 2010 at 12:22 p.m. #150

First, f*ck you both for being retards that ask for such mediocre characters as Karin.

@126 - Hakan? There's people far more hyped for Hakan than any other new character. Nuff said.

@158 - Since when the tier matters on the quality of a character? "Karin was top tier in sfa3" hahaha, so what? She's still a pile of sh*t with legs. And her tier don't change this FACT.

Also don't ever, EVER put Dudley's name close to that SHÍT named Karin. That was just sad.

Keep it classy, retard.

I was one of the few that mained her in sf3: 3S, and I'm so glad to see those elements back. I don't understand what people mean by she's weak in 3S. Sure anything stronger than a sneeze will knock her kunais out of the air, but hey, she was still pretty damn good with her signature 7 hit combo. Glad to see my favorite main of all games I've ever played coming to SSF4.

To all those people talking about tiers, I think she may be mid tier because of her level up complexity and mind games. I just hope Ibuki isn't the new ryu. Where are all the poeple saying that they'll main Juri?

I would not actually mind Karin in SSFIV, I would actually enjoy her in the final product.
That picture really looks as if it was photoshopped to some extent.

It really does look like someone found a figurine on a website and pasted it in the training stage; and because she has that overhead move, they tilted it.
Doesn't make sense why her face would be covered up like that either.
Someone will find a link with a picture of a figurine like that.

 

Posted by Sagat on February 23, 2010 at 2:19 p.m. #180

Hi, tell guile if he want to be stronger he should train harder! If that's how he is in the game I guess that's just his skill level. Get over it!

And S-kill said he improved... Ok you faking trolls. Btw how is "lying" about Guile going to sell more copies?!? Lmfao you little creeps are so dumb.

Oh God! Guile's stun didn't improve! Oh God, I'm not buying this game! Losers!

Capcom has never hinted at Karin, Nor have they spoke of her. She was highly demanded but as you can see the Alpha characters were already announced and she was not on made. That picture is indeed fact, it is not that hard to alter an image let alone make a something like that with the proper skill and tools. Also what makes you so sure Capcom made that picture.. if capcom made it it would be in better quality and it has never appeared from in a Famitsu mag.. so where is your source of the picture. Simply put it is fake and Karin is not in SSFIV yes she was demanded but obviously she did not make the cut. Stop crying.

Darko, I was the guy that posted #120 and #167. The truth is man we are both behind monitors so to speak. And I'm old enough to know that you are right in the sense that the negativity and the disrespect isn't necessary. I don't have PSN, but even if I did, I don't see this conversation going anywhere. So, with the most sincerity I apologize if you felt I disrespected you regarding the misunderstandng of the old Guile vs tweaked Guile.
Bottom line is this: we are both going to make asses out of ourselves if we sit here and bicker over a video game on a comment forum. So let's save some dignity, and save everyone else from having to read this stuff between us as well. I play on Xbox Live and not PSN as mentioned before, but still would like to play you, not to prove anything but for kicks. On a serious note, I got no hate for you and I shouldn't have been a d1ck to you to begin with. Best of luck in SSFIV and with Guile and keep beatin those 'gats. Yeah, we all lose some but keep dishing it out.

Ryu and Ken are the basic SF characters everyone pretty much knows how to play them, but Ibuki is a different type of character she isn't easy to pick up and play like a shoto you have to know what you are doing and know how to mix up well otherwise you're dead. In simple terms, if you can play any character that is strict on execution, Mix up and rush down (Guy or C.Viper) You should be fine with Ibuki.

You know how Street Fighter HD Remix came out and how people still play that after SF4 came out?
Or how people still play 3rd Strike.
Yeah.

And as for Guile, wait for the game to come out before we pass judgement.

---------------------------------

Yeah right, so when Capcom's rolling in the money $$$ then you'll complain about how crappier the game getting? Then i suppose we'll be watching CNN news reports about how the video game company Capcom, will struggle to patch and fix up and afterwards resell their recently released SSFIV game to the masses right?!

Wrong!

Bitch now so they know whats up and they'll at least get a clue as to what fans were saying before SSFIV came out. So much later onwards when there's actual news of a third SFIV a year later [2011-ish?] they'll get the message and all the Seth Killian haters on here, can bash him for another 12 months or so before he comes out and actually admits what everyone's been saying all along was true.

That won't happen either, but at least you can all wish. Far as people complaining though, NOW's the time to do it long as its all sensibly argued, discussions should always be welcomed way before the title's out, cos thats when its too late to do anything. Oh i reckon they'll be plenty more bitchin even after SSFIV's released but before hand, way more understandable. Judging from the youtube vids, the SF4 system's fairly the same and thats whats totally wrong with SF4 to begin in the first place.

Who's that Akuma fanboy who keeps hijacking every news item to tell the world about his love for Akuma, in caps no less. Man, he's annoying.

What's the point of telling the public what the changes to Guile are anyway? It's not like your armchair criticism is going to have any value compared to the loketester's.

But I guess that's how the internet works. :P

lol the guy who made the pic posted the steps he did to make the fake and people are still too f**king dumb, blind, and ignorant to realize it.

You sir are the idiot obviously kanta kun works for capcom and I leaking us information so yah yun and karin are confirmed so quit ur bitchin

 

Posted by @ 247 on February 24, 2010 at 12:26 p.m. #248

Do you have proof they are confirmed.. not some picture that can easily be made and photoshopped but a video and a link directly from Capcom or Famitsu scan that says Yun and Karin are in the game.

 

Posted by Satsui No Hado on February 24, 2010 at 12:30 p.m. #249

@ Smorgasboard

He's one of the few Akuma players who would like to know why hasn't anything been told about Akuma outside of his nerf's? So you my friend need to STFU and play your gay A$$ position and just sit back. All these interviews about these character are ok but Akuma fans deserve the right to know what is being done with him and if they added any new things.

 

Posted by @ 249 on February 24, 2010 at 12:32 p.m. #250

They might as well say what they are doing to every character then.. you can easily wait 2 months to find out or wait for the interviews to come in if they do.. Relax.

I really wanted Karin in the game too. But that just aint happening. In case you guys haven't noticed, all trailers that revealed the new characters were organized for three new characters at a time with a similar background.

#1) T. Hawk, Dee Jay, Juri:
Both T. Hawk and Dee Jay were characters from SSF2T that unfortunately were not popular enough to make it to SFIV. Now with them in the picture, the entire SSF2T cast is complete. Juri was added as the first new character specifically for SSFIV.

#2) Cody, Guy, Adon:
What these characters have in common is the fact that their common fighting game background is within the Alpha series. The same series that Karin comes from. I recall Ono-san saying that they're bringing back 2-3 characters for every major SF installment. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that SSFIV will have anymore room for another Alpha character.

#3) Ibuki, Dudley, Makoto:
These guys all come from the SFIII series. Therefore, all three completely fill the maximum amount of characters from that series. They appeared in the most recent trailer.

@ 249

The point is were getting interviews about almost every character good and boring but not Akuma..I can wait 2 months but since I'm purchasing SSFIV why not give us Akuma players a little info about Akuma? Also why can't we get some info? You see I bet you got info on your character so its kool but us Akuma players get left out? What's it gonna hurt for a 5 minute interview of Akuma? Or 3 mins? Be real kid....they need to give more respect to Akuma instead of treating him like Dan or Sakura..

LMAO! im laughing my F*CKING ass off reading all these comments, this sh*ts too funny.

best Quotes:

"For example, take the infamous Sagat LOL Combo (Tiger Uppercut, FADC, F+RH, Ultra)"

"I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said "fresh" and it had dice in the mirror! If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought man forget it. Yo Holmes to Bel-Air!"

"sure, lets discuss some topics about the new charaters. bla bla bla bla..that...bla bla bla this... but hey, once its time to talk about how they twaeked some of the low tier characters mainly GUILE, then this is what they sound..

'well folks...things arent what they seem. Guile is very interesting...yeah Guile has potential... "

"Posted by Hakan on February 23, 2010 at 2:28 a.m. #81

The only way Karin will be in the game is if she's getting oiled up by me (in my ending)."

"That's her normal costume u donut."

"Hey wtf? WHERE THE HELL IS DUDLEY? I AM SO PISSED!!

CAPCOM!! ITS TIME YOU QUIT SUCKING SAGATS DICK!! NERF THAT ONE EYED BITCH AND MAKE DUDLEY GOD TIER NOW!! IF YOU DONT, I WILL TROLL YOUTUBE FOR LIFE."

"and Hakan is a better character? Who the fu*k even cares or knows of that f*cking g@y ass character? I don't know NOT ONE person who gives a shyt about that character.

No one even asked for him, why are they giving us this g@y ass unknown character?

GIVE US KARIN NAO CRAPCOM!!!!! F*cking f@GGOT @ss J@PS!!!!"

" @120

were you born a retard? I already know what the hell the other guy was trying to say, I just told him why people would move over to SUPER! and even IF they would integrate 2 or 3 versions of the same character (which would make no sense why they would do a dumb move like that), id still be playing them all for an actual challenge unlike your cheap noob sagat. Yeah, you little b!tch you aint got nothing to say now. PUNK."

"@139

whoever the fuk you are, you may as well put a bucket on your head and called yourself tweedle bum trying to find some crack, that would have been more productive to your miserable useless life instead of using MY NAME. "

"@181

you fukkin piece of sh!t. cheap move using my name, how bout you come log into sf4 so i can smash your punk a$$ on the floor. ohh wait, you cant...you dont have the balls to do it. A$$HOLE. so keep hidin lil B!tch"

"Posted by das on February 23, 2010 at 1:45 p.m. #172

Wtf would people keep asking fkk charlie, he's basically a guile pallet swap. Jesus you might as well ask for Remy instead at least he got 2 extra fking moves that make him viable."

"Trust me. Charlie is gonna be in this game even if I have hijack a muthertruckin' helicopter and crash it into Capcom headquarters."

"Thanks, man. You sound pretty cute. We should hang out and maybe explore our sexuality together."

i ROFLED, THX!

@Satsui no hado

They've been pretty much focusing all their interviews on the new content so what do you mean by "interviews about almost every character good and boring". The other old SF4 characters have been neglected just as much too. Except Sagat and Guile but everyone is obsessed about those two.

If they are just going to talk about Akuma, what about the other 20+ characters. Respect Akuma? The other character's fan should be respected as well. Yes, even Dan and Sakura. Why discriminate?

This is Ibuki's article and thus is her chance to shine. Akuma had his chance SF4 when it was being hyped. Spamming every article trying to draw attention to Akuma is something only a fanboy would do.
