Details, covers & images for Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition

awesome, though a bit sad we wont see any extra characters besides the 4

Well FINALLY they get the covers right.

Ok, sold on the DLC. Unless you want to buy the Disc to add to your collection...

Oh yea, PC fans ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!

That cover is kinda lazy, but still looks quite nice.

Why would they release the disc 2 & a half weeks after the dlc release? i would much rather buy the disc release :(

@1: I wouldn't be surprised if they announced new characters shortly after the June/July release. :D

That cover is pretty clean. like.png

Damn Capcom. Definitly downloading the DLC, but who am I kidding. I'm going to pick up the disc as well. Not only do I enjoy the cover art, but when i head to my friends house, it'll be much easier then hoping they have the DLC.

DLC and PC, great! I'll probably get both.

I'm sure there will be more characters... via DLC.

"Money machine, start your engine!"

How is the PC release so soon? Ono said development just started. When he said it would take I while, I thought that meant like late 2011.

I wonder if people who buy the disc get anything special like if you owned vanilla and got colors 11 and 12 in chocolate?

@Creeper

I've read that all titles are first developed in a PC platform, and then ported to Xbox/PS3.

So, if this is true, the PC version is actually done before the consoles versions. ;)

just to make sure ppl understand, if you don't buy the AE dlc/disc you can still play ppl who have it due to ssf4 getting a free patch that gives you AE balancing, the only things you'll miss out on are the characters and possibly the new replay channel

BREAKING NEWS. EVO TOP 8 RESULTS.

I wonder if you buy the physical disc if it will show up as a new game on you xbox or PS3

aka the clones cover

@#13

What about Fei Long?

so no other characters other than oni,E.Ryu,Twins? lasz bastards Capcom

I keep holding out hope that there will be more characters, but I guess it's just not going to happen.
I just want to see some SF1 characters get represented in a current gen fighting game. I mean, we got Ryu/Ken(Obviously), Gen, Sagat, and Adon, and Birdie and Eagle got to have a go in Alpha and CVS2 respectively(I'd like to see them show up again, still), but what about the rest of them? We've yet to see Joe, Mike, Geki, Lee, or Retsu make an appearance outside SF1.

PC? YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS

This made my freaking day.

#21

I hear you brother!!

PC FTW!

These games are gonna be SO SWEET on PC! WHERE DO I PREORDER?! Take my money, PLEASE!! lol

Whats the difference between the DLC and the Disc?

Well I'm glad it's $14.99 it's a decent price I'll def be picking it up. It would make sense to cop the disc though if you been waiting.

Really? Only 4 new characters?

I really hate to sound whiny but its pretty disappointing when you look at the new characters, half of them are models taken from the current roster. I would have really liked them to bring in other characters from past SF games that offered a unique playstyle (i.e.: Rolento, Eagle, Elena, Oro, etc) or put in the time and effort to design totally brand new fighters.

I'll still be getting this like everyone else here but I can't help but feel like all they did here was the bare minimum to charge people more for the same game without the consumers being all up in arms about the lack of new content/features.

Cool, as if any PC gamer is caring anymore.
Go away Capcom and die in a fire.

@ #23

The DSC you can probably play it at your friend's house... maybe?

and the DLC not so much.

#10
The version that is in the arcades is identical to a pc version, so it takes them 2 seconds to change it to pc version. Although they will be making adjustments since the twins and Fei Long are a bit retarded at the moment.

Juri should have been on the cover but oh well. I hope the disc has like the recent costumes or something extra.

how much will the disc be? say you have your account on 4 ps3's 5th with your ps3, and you get AE dlc, then you get a YLOD. but you forgot to deactivate your acc and all the ppl you lend out your accounts to arent your bud's anymore. that means you gotta get a new acc. or get the disc.

thats why i wnat to know. how much wil the disc be?

@10 I'm actually curious about that, as well. I bought SF4 and costumes on the PC, and it didn't transfer over to SSF4 on the 360 so I had to go ahead and purchase the costumes on Vanilla 360 to unlock them.

I'll just assume they'll roll over if you already have them on Vanilla PC, or maybe already be included? Who knows.

and why is bison in the middle of oni and e.ryu? makes me think capcom got something up the sleeve for him as well.

#27 The modern gamers don't have offline friends, so they won't bother with it! looool

I just wanted to give up all my remaining hope about the PC port, but damn, it's coming, and even better, it's almost here!

After that 2 years I spent with vanilla SF4 (1 year spent with watching happy console players playing SSFIV), it's finally here!

You guys simply can't imagine that smile I do now. Even Joker can't.

I'm very happy about a Disc Based version, even if it's just to install to the HDD and you play the game with Super. This way I can take my game anywhere, and not have to worry about being online for it to work.. Also the PC release is great, because with all the cool costume mods for SF4. I'm looking forward to this. I will be working at E3 so I won't be playing the DLC. So I might as well wait for the Disc version.

RandomDP and Mangosettinal

Ono will never get to the bottom of this and I won't be surprised the last 2 characters see their fate and never revealed including this

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/no...

I really wish Ono got to the bottom of this

Sad no Alex, this game seems so incomplete without him

I got couple question. Does the disc version contain all the costumes and does it operate as a new disc or is it an add on that works with the SSF4 install data?

this my be a stupid question but is the disc the same price as the dlc???

Am I the only one that doesn't think it's worth it? It's really just four new characters and I don't find any of them to be all that interesting...

It would be wise to wait for the disc.

@3

Very much so

@chickenwings

1200 MS Points or $14.99 for the DLC, $39.99 for the disc.

they also said that super was the last to the sf4 series, so....
how many months until the new patch?

Do we get something for SSFIVAE by having SFIV/SSFIV?
Like... more free alts? colors?

@43

Where did you get the pricing for the disc version?

Man, Gouki finally up on the cover like he belongs and his other hand doesn't even match. Damn it Capcom. You almost had me for both DLC and disc but f*ck that cover. Shoushi! Still looking forward to Oni though.

Jeez capcom, the tail end of the month for AE disc release?

Also crossing fingers for all costume alts to be included on the disc release.

@38 - at 40 bucks it better come with all the previous costume packs + the one for the twins,oni and e ryu(and maybe some new ones).anything less is a automatic 15 bucks for the dlc instead.
@40 - sounds like salt to me.ae is more than just the new chars.its the balance changes that killed most turtling tactics to give us the more offensive oriented game we've been bitching 4 since vanilla.

@ U4iA27

Now everyone's gonna be bitching about the dive kicks.

@49

the turlting wasnt fixed, u need to adjust the game mechanics, not just add more dive kicks.

I can see Akuma's half body cutout on the cover. Who are these people that work on these covers? Such lazy and imperfectionists. It's like the cover it's some random joke montage. Give me the job.

Hmm... $40 for disc.. I HIGHLY doubt it's going to come with all the costumes. Woulden't they make more money if they made you buy it all separately? The costumes wont be included, only the new characters. Maybe for the PC version.

Question, Since SFIV was Vanilla, and SSFIV Was Chocolate, can we call SSFIV AE Caramel? =] Deliciuos!

@chickenwings: You are correct, the SF4 game engine is the same..Turtling is still it. New characters being added doesn't change that.

Any info about steamworks compatibility with the PC version? Or can we buy it from steam like we could buy vanilla?

will the costumes be included on the disc?

Why do people keep saying that's it for the roster? Of course there are 2 more yet to be announced. If you look at the character select screen, its uneven. There are 2 empty slots that are just randomly there, capcom usually dosent make character select screens uneven, plus there's that picture ono released of dhalsim burning someone, an unknown character. I guarantee there are 2 more left to be revealed.

Box art for PC version...

Setting your hopes up for nothing there bud. Not to mention let go of that damn idiotic troll pic of Sim burning a fighter. It is no one new and at best someone's unseen alternate costume. Some of you people hold on to false hope like no tomorrow! Hate to tell you the already blatantly obvious but you will just be crushed later when your wishful thinking doesn't exist.

Ps, were you one of the morons dead set on Oni some how being Gouken? Shoushi!

@DanceInTheDark

No, since all that was stupid we can call it SSFIV Arcade Edition.

Nice it finally comes to the PC, It should be released earlier ><. Don't want to wait until july.

@59 Well, looks like it's still Games for Windows, so I assume any Costume Packs from Vanilla will roll over. July can't come soon enough!

fap.jpg

Hahahaha, so now can I bash Capcom for this stupid, retarded game?

They blatantly unbalanced the roster; everyone is unviable except for Yun, Yang, Makoto, and Fei. And then they don't add any other new characters.

All the people that said "have faith in Capcom, there will be more characters" can suck it! :)

Actually, ignore my last post #59

Here is a better one...

http://oi51.tinypic.com/snf9qe.jpg

OF COURSE there will be NO old costumes for free on the CD. Not even SUPER had them. Only the ones from Evil Ryu, Oni, Yun and Yang will be on the disc.

@Folks questioning the AE Disc price:

The AE disc is meant to cover Super and AE. It's for those who did not pick up Super but want the latest version.

Otherwise those folks would have to pick up Super and download the DLC.

To clarify my above post
The above is a higher res image of the PC version boxart then the first one I posted.

SSF4AE: Lazy Characters Edition

For people who is already sick of the twins and are mad about Capcom for "taking the easy way out" by including E Ryu an Oni, you're going to have to suck it up and deal with it. Either that or quit the game altogether. Maybe that's why Capcom allows players to choose between regular Super or AE Super, just to accomedate both sides.

There probably will be two more characters. Only only did the rumor state DLC would be available in June...(and that was right), it made mention of two characters. Keep your head up people.

I agree, all signs point to another couple of characters. I don't care who, and it just might be 2 all new characters, but I would guess another female character would be included.

Looks like it's time to play dressup with ssf4 characters like there barbie dolls now on PC.

RandomJohn #71 is right, you can play Super OR AE, so no balance whining.

Awesome option.

PC never had Super so I will be playing that a lot at first.
:D

I'll be buying the disk, since my copy of the game went missing. I'm curious as to what price will be through. Here's hoping for $30, since I'm sure the SSFIV disk will be uber cheap, and they will want to make their profit off the DLC, even if burned on the disk.

Also, I want to able to just take it to a friend's place, and pop in the disk, so I'm for a disk, if the price is right.

I can also see why the disk is sold a few days after. They want the DLC to sell, as they make most of the profit off the purchase, as opposed to a disk, as they will have to deal with fighting piracy on 360, and recently, on PS3, as well as used game sales.

@77 And PC along with used games.

Just take all my money Capcom, we need to syup a direct deposit account every month so you can just funnel the money out of me :P

EDIT: I meant to write PC as well, but yeah.

Awesome, PC gets AE?? Didn't expect that. Just a few days ago, I thought PC was only getting Super.

Probably not going to play on my PS3 much anymore...

turtling could never be fully removed,but its been weakened to the point that its almost pointless to do.in vanilla and super,turtling was the dominate way to play.with the balance changes in AE the scales have been tipped to balance things out.the game engine isn't the problem if anything its just there to steer ppl away from mindless rushdown.ppl are bitchin bout divekicks now but neither of the twins can really take a hit so when the matchups are figured out it will be all gravy.

why is ibuki on the cover :/. no changes were applied to her. seems a bit too random

Turtling isn't weak in AE. It's just that Capcom made rushdown characters too powerful, i.e. they gave them too many tools and not enough drawbacks to balance them out. When people say that AE is more 'aggressive', what they're really saying is that rushdown character (especially ones with divekicks) are too good in comparison to the rest of the cast.

Yee Ibuki made the front cover! =D

@60
No, i wasen't one of those people. Clearly there are 2 empty slots. Why would they just leave them empty, especially if this is their "supposed" last installment of SF4. The character select screen would look sloppy, and retarded. I dont know about you, but when im "finished" with a project, its flawless. 2 empty slots in a MENU is just dumb.

JESUS FREAKING CHRIST would you people quit whining about Yun and Yang being S-tier. They are both weaker than most of the cast in terms of health and damage output. You're all just soo upset that you cant mash shoryuken with rynoob anymore. It's not their technique thats powerful either because the only reason sagat was overpowered in SF4 was his damage. Now his damage is altered and he's fine. Why don't you all get off the Ryuwagon and play some characters that require skill. And I'm not talking about Blanka/Bison. Also you see people dominating with Makoto in super, is this because she's "overpowered" or "S-tier"?? No, people just practiced and got good. Well hopefully the Rynoob fest will calm down when AE surfaces(YEAH RIGHT). For all people complaining that adding hugo would be too many grapplers lets see how many that would be, hmmmmm....4. Now how many characters are there with a shoryuken??
Ryu
Ken
Akuma
Sagat
Dan
Sakura
Dudley
Adon
Fei Long
Ibuki
Oni
Evil Ryu
Hell dudley doesn't even need to FADC to get 2 Shoryukens in 1 combo and he rushes across the screen at light speed beating any focus attacks along the way and his corkscrew cross sucks you onto his arm for full animation from miles away and he has an invincible counter move and a dodge then punish which is really hard to beat and he can turn into a missile raining down from the sky. Are you all going to say that He's overpowered now?? I didn't think so... You can easily shoryuken out of a rushdown dive kick player its just the pros that you've all seen don't do because they don't want to get tricked and punished.
I wanted Alex, Remy, Twelve and Urien in the game but you don't see me crying about it. It's time you all stopped crying too. For a final note would people sto trying to waste character slots by asking for cheap and overpowered characters that no one cares about except you 12 year old pervs like Elena, Karin, Poison, Juli, Juni or Birdie(Joke)
Rant over GEEEEEZZ.....

#84 Pig_Red

Perhaps they're really saying, learn a new technique lame turtles. You all talk like you've had so much hands on experience with the game but truly talk from your a*ses. Whether fag turtling is still strong or not, I am happy to see I'll be able to take them out even slightly easier.

#86 Sinisterslam

Happy to see you aren't a total tard. However, whether the 2 empty spaces that you claim will turn into slots, look like a finished character select screen or not, that doesn't make it fact that 2 other characters will join the fray. I am not a fan of how there are 2 empty spaces, but to act like those MUST be filled is just ridiculous at this point. I am sorry, but those will remain empty 'ugly looking unfinished' spaces until further notice, AFTER Arcade Edition is already released and after this community has found 999,999,999 other things to complain about the game.

...Psh...I'll get it on disc...wait....

for reals dlc and disk wow there pushin it i would like to have the dlc early but if its on disk i just rather wait a$$ capcom really A$$

Don't know what people are talking about. Just because there are more supposed rushdown chartacters i nthe game doesn't mean it's more balanced where the fighting engine is suited better to rushdown play. IT IS STILL the SF4 engine and it is a lax engine catering to campers. Nothing about the engine has changed it will be the same defensive game regardless of what they give to the supposed rushdown characters.

Man, PC has to be the last one too...

Regardless, thank you Capcom. You have a day one purchase from me.

nice artwork on the disc ver of ae making me want to pass on dlc and wait for the disc

capcom trying me make people buy dlc then make them buy disc too with exclusives maybe
wonder what exclusives they will include?

great now im confused bout gettin the AE disc, I alrddy have ssf4. so if i do get the AE disc, will all my costumes frm ssf4 be on it? i kno my achievements wont -__-

I'd rather have the disc, but I don't want to re do all those trials. I wonder if the new characters will have trials? The thought of having to do "C to shining C" again plus at least 4 more new characters is enough to keep me away from the disc!

If the disc just upgrades my existing save file like DLC, I'll wait for it.

which is basically a reverse of what vanilla and super were.turtles dominated those 2 games.now its flipped and turtles still have the tools to deal with rushdown.its engraved in the fighting engine. exs with invincibility,huge reversal windows...even tho rushdown has gotten a much deserved boost,ppl still have to be cautious about how they rush ppl down. each char (for the most part) has at least 1 poke or special that beat out dive kicks clean. sure ppl are bitching about them now but the twins are still fresh,not even a year out the womb.main em and ull break em is how I always go about problem chars.turtle chars have nothing to bitch about,the engine is built to favor them even now.only now it requires more work is all.ryu can't mindlessly outfootsie ppl with low foward,guile can't stay back and throw booms all day,etc.time to take ur heads out of the shell and fight! lol

i love how they do the sneakers,
guy wears the nike dunks
cody got the adidas super star w/ the shell toes
now yun rocks them vans

yea i'm a sneaker head

have they said yet if non dlc paying players will receive a balance update to play agaisnt AE owners ?

I hope so . the online communtiy is already shrinking to other games. hate to break it up further

Yes!!! Day one purchase.

Yun and Yang will be added to my list of mains and subs.
