Yoshinori Ono announced this morning via Twitter that the development team was done with the arcade edition of Super Street Fighter 4, as they sent off the final disc for replication. He also posted a few other things.
There's still time to add Sean to Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition.
Ono: Umm, we have a gold master [for SSFIV AE] in Japan. We will take a little [break].
[Editor's note: A gold master is the disc that manufacturing plants use to build copies of a game off of. The gold master is sent in once a project is complete.]
When will the next big SSFIV Arcade Edition announcement be?
Ono: We had [talks about] SSF4 AE at Capcom UK. Please wait, [there's] news... ;)
SSFIV PC release announcement please. Or at least say no.
Ono: Sorry, I can't reply to this subject...
Has Capcom forgotten about Karin? She should be in Street Fighter X Tekken.
Ono: I remember [her]!! ;D
Thanks to Eljay for the tip.
i would like to see a trailer with new characters soon!
Hmm... so it seems like only Yun and Yang will be added to the game... kind of a letdown. I remember a while back they claimed Arcade Edition could add anything from 4-6 new characters... I'm sure people were expecting at least Rolento and Poison (From Ono's incessant hyping)...
@7
Hmm... you might have a point seeing as the Arcade Release is Mid-December and it's currently only the end of October. Although usually you expect Capcom to hype up new info FAR in advance to attract people's attention into the game... and they usually at least let people playtest the characters a little before publishing them.
I'd like to see some more characters so I'll withhold judgment but at this point, I think it's unlikely...
So Gone gold now what? No other characters added? This is getting annoying! Just tell us if there are more characters darn it!
It will be amazing if AE is even more balanced than SSFIV. There were only 4 characters in that game that were not competitive out of the huge cast. If they improve those characters we may see tournament viability of the cast in a SF game finally.
@7: Because any additional characters would go forward without being subject to location tests. It doesn't make any sense at all that Capcom would include Yun and Yang in the location tests but exclude any other new characters for the sake of a surprise closer to launch.
Maybe the additional characters are a surprise. Only announce Yun n Yang, get people hyped for that and then BAM! more characters upon launch, causing more people to rush to the arcades to play, thus causing more anticipation for SSFIV AE dlc update. Supply and demand.
Either way I'm still hyped.
i dont wana see hugo in the game! he looks like a retard in pink.. are u kidding me? just becuz he has some grapple moves doesnt mean he would be a good look.. his damage would be be ridiculous. worse than Thawk and all ppl do with him is mash command throw!! plz dont do it capcom.. leave 3rd strike characters for their own title.. only exception would be alex he's the grappler that would make exciting match ups with the existing cast! lets see some alpha or sf1 characters!!!!
so what is the final version of ryu in the arcade version? i heard that his ultra2 now is comboable from normal links now.
#1
Sean was actually good(considered top tier) in New Generation and Second Impact, his storyline was comical but until 3rd Strike he was actually basically everything dan wanted to be in terms of actual skill, also unlike dan he has a full screen fireball(though it's only a super) and an original(ish) move the wheel kick
@Meety
Karin and Ingrid aren't like shotos,while ingrid has some things similar it's more like Rose than the shotos, Karin has nothing like the shotos infact I'd say the closest she is to any other character in terms of moveset is abel with her mutliple specials that chain from one basic one
@#13
Are you retarded? Capcom doesn't do location testing to gather opinions for balance. They do it as basically a giant commercial and to make sure the system board works.
I promise you, they've thrown together four more characters and are crossing their fingers in hope that they won't all be the new Makoto or Hakan.
PC people, not saying no this late in the game is as good as a yes for me.
@40
What makes her such a dumbass character? Her style would be an interesting aspect to the already populated shoto characters. :/
@ geni there's more than 3 grapplers in the game.. gief thawk abel elfuerte and hakan.. alex would be a better character bcuz his moveset doesnt only rely on grapples he offers more diversity, which is what this game needs.. hugo is just a stupid lookin character with overpowered grapple moves that would only be used by ppl that just like to grapple all the time.. thats my opinion only.

#1, you obviously don't know what you're talking about..sean is way better than dan. sean might've been somewhat of a poke fun of character..but he wasn't a joke like dan is. sean had great combos and super setups in sf3, his ultras would of been nice but of course, capcom keeps the different chars from being in the game. no elena, no sean..looks like i'm no longer interested in DLC, thanks capcom :(
it doesnt matter anyway.. whatever characters CAPCOM put in we're gona have to deal with.. i have hope they would do the right thing. theyre the professionals..
similar to what people did for kof, no mai no buy. i have my own reiteration..no sean, i'm gone. or no elena, what a pain in the..or how bout, no alex, this can't be valid :( me and ono need to sit down and chat next time they decide to do anything lmfao
Really people, lets stop comparing Sean to Dan plz. When did this phase start anyways? And I wouldn't even consider Sean an average shoto. He's a unique one like Gouken.
Sean is nothing like Dan. Doesn't even fill the same kind of role. He has several unique moves so I don't see how he's anything like an imitation shoto like Dan is. His wheel kick thing, his grab and pound move, his spike after he shoryus.
He blows in 3S but I don't think it was intentional, just misgauging on Capcom's part.
Those of you who think he's like Dan probably also think Necro is like blanka and dhalsim and should just stay away from 3S.
If the character has a fireball, DP and a hurricane kick varient he is a shoto. The only unique thing is how much one sucks when compared to the other. no more shoto's
#55
Gracias mi amigo!
PC = Street Fighter Online and WORLDWIDE, the way it should be!
SF World Warrior Tournament.
(Little known fact: Sean was trained by Dan before SFIII. That's why he's considered Dan Tier in Third Strike!)
Street fighter is a shoto game, you don't like shotos why not play tekken? not 1 fireball in that game.
hey...the arcade edition is done, we have almost 2 months where character announcements may or may not be made, the time for begging if over, let the time of anticipation began. if I had to guess, you'll hear more when the nakky blog goes through the first 35.
@ 34, they do the arcade tests to test balance. They have designers there and watch what moves, strats, ect people use to win and tweak the game based on that. They gather data on win and loses and how is winning to who and who is losing to who. They also collect tournament and online data. They can't test it all internally since the game is so huge.
I hope they announce Elena as a character. I still cant believe a character like Dan got in over other characters like Rolento, Alex, Elena, or even Karin. Hmmmm.. Lets hope they announce something BIG soon!
The only game were fireballs were useless is 3rd strike.....why people complain about fireballs is beyond comprehension. Just focus them and build ultra, use your noggin boys.
If you're tired of the input lag difference between the PS3 and 360 versions, then vote yes to the PS3 input lag patch here: www.capcom-unity.com/go/suggestion/box# (Select Games / Street Fighter from the category drop-down box at the top)
This patch could be included with the inevitable SSF4 AE DLC.
That would be a very big and costly change to fix the input lag, I don't see it happening. Capcoms fault for not doing it right for the ps3, and ps3's fault for making that system difficult to create games on.
I wouldn't mind Karin. She's fairly unique....outside of her appearence.
SpaniardSRK the people who do take the TIME AND EFFORT(the things to make something great) do well on PS3 just look at Naughty Dog, Look at Sucker punch, look at Guerrila hell look at Insomanic, they take there TIME to develop on PS3 hardware and they're considered some of the best games of this generation with little to no glitches in audio visual aspects or gameplay
Ex_Ein it takes time AND MONEY. The people at valve have refused to make games for the ps3, because it's difficult and costly to port games to that system.
Fact of the matter is capcom had a deadline, and unfortunately the ps3 version suffered because of it.
(Valve changed their mind about PS3. Just Sayin'.)
Yes! I want Karin in SF x T
Match ups i wanna see in SFxT
Karin vs Lili
Sakura vs Asuka
Ling Xiaoyu vs Chunli
Fei vs Law
Dee Jay vs Eddy
Cammy vs Nina
Elena vs Christie
Oh Add Karin on SSFIV AE They Really Shouldve Done A Poll of Which 3 females & which 3 males you want to be on this game
When they did the original SF4 arcade edition, did they do location test for every character? It's hard to imagine that they didn't.
@MetroidG
How can one effectively button mash in SSF4? I don't even think such tactic is even viable at lower levels of play. It's understandable in Tekken's case where many of the moves propell you foward effectively making it prone to such tactics but SSF4? I think your confusing buttonmashing with spamming which is something I'd agree with in the case of SSF4.
@Spainard
Don't you think they'll sell more copies if they had more well developed game to the point no one could fault it critically that get higher scores to make up for the extra time and money? because if you got reviews of tens, fives(out of fives)and A+s. It's known, that reviews to actually again effect sales. time and EFFORT (not just money, which can be wasted very easily) can bring better pay off. Capcom could have extended the deadline, this is one of their biggest products and was there to prove they aren't just slopping out something they could have done 10 years ago or like something they did 10 years ago.
Valve were foolish and they admit it, they weren't exactly making what they wanted and it was because of their choice not to put their IPs like L4D and DLCs like Portal: Still alive(which could have easily been on PS3 given a month or two) on PS3. Though they sink millions into these games or at least snatching up the developers for these IPs.
@GodPride
you can MASH out a Shoryuken motion it takes no skill there's an easy way to do it and you can win from it at low levels of play hell if you watch Storm Dain's review of SF4 he can't even do a fireball mind you he's a Smash bro's fan and likes those controls and says he's never got Street Fighter so yeah you can button mash at a low level and pull a win. Just we on community sites like this can't even believe that would be possible since we're at the level were even the lowest of us know how to FADC atleast
Poor Ono getting bashed with the same stupid questions smh no wonder he uses it to his advantage and creates hype.
I'm good with the roster on the home version of ssfiv idk why in japan they still use arcades it's a waste of money IMO hell people still go to chinatownfair here in NYC to play games they already own at home smh
Unless it's a game that isn't coming out on home consoles for a long time or not all period (like vfR) then I stay clear of ctf
Alex and Rolento are highly requested, please Capcom please Ono, make it happen!!!
@SAMURAI
What are you talking about? I can't speak on behalf of Karin b/c I honestly believe she's a crappy character gameplay-wise, but Hugo is an awesome character. You're most likely turned off by the ugliness but I can assure you that if you were to check out Hayao's Hugo gameplay footages around youtube, you'd give him a shot.
Samurai, no I'm sorry but there are only 5 wrestlers in super Street Fighter 4
only 8 characters with normal(not ultra/super) Command Grabs total(including Seth's SPD and Fei's Kick grab)
out of 35 characters that's no where near enough when you consider more characters have projectiles (15)
and Hugo like all the other wrestlers has something unique to him in that he has his wall bounce grabs and his clothes lines
We could always use more wrestlers, after all, my daughters will be in the ring soon, hoho!
#97 they just basically annouced two more characters coming and sorry #99 rolento has been decomfired maybe alex could make it
theres 6 slots
3 females
3 males
Yang & Yun = Filled in 2 slots for male so theres 1 slot left
3 slots for females
Karin (my pick)
Maki
R.Mika
Elena
Juni & Juli & Ingrid (both they seem less likely to make cause ingrid isnt all that popular from i read on comments and Juni & Juli would waste to slots)
I really think capcom should listen more to the community in terms of balance, at least to a certain degree.
Public testing all the way : X
