Development has started on version 2012 of Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition

Make Ryu OP plis

Oh right... *troll face*

Incoming cries for Buffs/Nerfs in 3...2...1...

BUFF YUN PLEASE

can i has bison 4 way teleport and projectile pleeeeezz?!

There's no way to update the Japanese arcades with the new patch? It'll be really lame if they didn't get the update.

inb4 SSF4: AE version 2013

By "Winter" they mean the first week or so of 2012, right? :|

wtf is street fighter

no new characters? i was hoping for elena,rolento,hugo to be added as dlc. =(

Just undo the nerfs you did from Super to AE and it would be perfect.

arcade runs a stripped down version of the PC edition of AE so it will get the update.

@11 no it won't be.

@blue_westcoast
Enough with the f*cking character requests... geez.

if there are new characters, it won't be free. you can't have both. making a new character is no cheap.

And with this, the trolling begins. I'm just hoping that they made some changes to some of the characters that have been nerfed real bad especially Guile.

Well, better enjoy Vanilla AE as much as I can. Oh, wait, I don't play Fei or the twins.

I am hoping there are no nerfs

Just buff all of the cast up to the supposed Yun/Fei/Viper level

gogogo :)

Nago
Anything from the the middle of December to the end of Feb

If this is going to be "last" iteration then please give the other lower tier characters the Makoto treatment and make them freakin' awesome!

Nerf the joke characters (Dan, El Fuerte, and Hakan).

really miss the SNES and PS2 days when you initially get a effin game and you just made dew try to master that specific game (glitches, bugs and character original attributes included) or move the phuck on. NOW we're consumed with bitchin bout nerfs, buffs, patches and and extra characters you now you will never see. Hey guys i know its a new era in technology and this give us the ability to greatly improve our gaming experience but hell lets just let a game be what is and CALM THE PHUCK DOWN!

FADCTAUNT
Actually, it's no really a stripped down version of PC due to the fact the program is meant to run continuously also you can't change graphical settings. the consoles are closer to the PC model then anything as they're meant to compensating to mutliple inputs outputs and displays. the PC and modern console are closer then either party would like to admit but just think about it. Also there's the factor of "How is it preforming on PC" you must think about

I just hope they do it right. Have faith.

@21 best comment so far too much bitching about nerfs/buffs

madsoul242
The thing is, we have the way to communicate and get the problems resolved. Also you have to remember before this generation not half of the people you even see playing online or chatting about things online didn't play a fighting game. nothing has changed just we do hear these people and it is becoming a bigger vocal opinion as we can actually get it done, but don't be fulled SINCE world warrior the ideals of "well this seems broken/bugged/unbalanced" has been there, however we never could be vocal we didn't have unity, or SRK or even eventhubs and online gaming wasn't as big.

And don't let this effect you, play your game, talk about your character, discuss match ups about the current game not the future game.

madsoul242
and before you say "STFU noob online gaming didn't exist" It did just was exceptionally rare

Give me SSF4 Cammy back and I'm happy.

Is that Alex in the pic?

Hey there is Karin in the pic

I just want Super or Vanilla Balrog back.

is that Freddy Kruger in that pic?

is that honda in the pic?

I don't know what you guys are talking about, but that looks like Honda giving Cammy the hundred hand finger blast.

I mean Sakura. Still applies.

The person slapped by Honda is Yang, or Chun. Probably Yang.

Give Ryu atleast one of his things back ( Cr.Mk or Air tatsu) then I think Ryu can do well in AE.

Simply undoing the nerfs isn't enough. Several characters still aren't strong enough to compete well. Here's to hoping for more BUFFS.

To all the people talking about who's in the picture I want to let you know I'm not even wearing my glasses and I can tell that the two are Honda and Sakura.

It's Honda and Sakura.

I know you'll hate me for asking... But please add ALEX!!!!

make sakura's cr. hp hit box stretch across the whole screen.

@36

Ryu's air tatsu escape is gay. He doesn't need that back. I mained Ryu since Vanilla (dropped him in AE). I'd love some powerz back but that one is just toooooo lame. You don't want to encourage a run away game.

Low forward buff? Sure give it to him if you want, but its not enough.

You know what would be awesome? Let Ryu throw his super with a fireball on the screen again.

What I really expect? Damage back on solar plexus. Slightly better hit boxes on pokes. That's about it.

Hey guys...

You know what...

The Workers are Gone...

Hugo is gone...

OMG! SSF4 Giant Attack starring Alex and Hugo!! Please god let it be true!! Jk...

But the workers are gone, wonder why.

@42 better hitboxes for ryu, seriously his pokes have the highest priority with his st/cr.lp plus his cr.mp Valle was still top 16 with Ryu at EVO. nice troll

Deejay needs dem buffs. All he really needs is a bit of a damage boost. The damage I do with a 5-6 hit combo isnt even at 240. even a slight damage boost would be nice. Also, a little bit more combo-ability. He needs reliable ways into his ultras that arent situational. although that might be too powerful. All I know is that if I could combo into his Ultra 1 from upkicks(obviously not all the hits, but more than 1 or 2) then I would be a happy boy.

Okay, F#(k YOU. TIER WHORE!!!!!

@42

Running away doesn't depend on the move, but the player. It just gives them different options. Ryu is practically useless in the corner and the Air tatsu would help alot in some matchups (zangief, yun, etc). And I mean ken still has his and akuma has a teleport, so... it's only fair lol.

And you would be surprised how a little buff on Cr.Mk could change his whole position in the game.

Even if the top tier character has nothing but 5-5 matchups, people will still bitch like crazy when they have to fight them.

@#43

...that could actually be onto something interesting. lol

Just buff low tiers(fuerte,thawk,gen,deejay,guy)etc...... Keep high tiers high. Plain and simple.

@49

I know right? That would be some crazy sweet $hit! Can you freaking imagine how HYPE everyone would be!

Everyone would buy it!

Aluppoj> I'm with you homie , that IS E.Honda doing his 100 hand slap on Sakura and yes you know I defintely want Alex in

Please Ono, I'm asking you nicely please add or reveal who this is

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

@ 25/24 point taken i understand and respect both of your opinions i just got a little nostalgic is all

i ment 25/26 but thanks for the support 24

AE is missing some Alex, Hugo, and Rmika.Wonder if she would have like a juggle super like Yun??? Intriguing i gotta say. Kinda sad i cant see gief and hugo in action, or alex and charlie.

Ono this is your chance to shine, rmika, you know you want her......me too:)~

@21 It also took much longer for games to come out because the final product couldn't afford glitches, there was no online updating.

Buff Vega.
Buff Juri.

That is all.

@53

Good to hear from you bra! Vancity is my conspiricy theory partner lol!

@57

Your right! This is his chance to shine! Add Alex! I'll even accept R.Mika as long as The Brooklyn Brawler (Is that even his nick name? Lol) makes it in!

Face it, we'd all go freaking nuts if they added a few fan favorites! And IMHO the transition from 4 to 3s NEEDS ALEX!

Oh, one other thing... Who the Fu<k was that kid that Balrog took?!? Who is Remy!?!? Who/What is Q!?!! We should ALL Demand a few God Damn Answers!

Yes, I'm losing my mind.

@53 That is definitely Yang in his alternate costume. Look at the hair and look at this pic if you're wondering what is hanging between the characters legs: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=yang+a...

F*ck everyone above.

Focus on SFxTekken.

I want MY Makoto beast in it. :))))))))

I want to be able to input actions after the KO flash!!!

IT'S PIKACHU

DEATH OF THE TWINS IS AT HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!!!!!

@62

You must be new here. That is not Yang and it is not Chun Li. Several of us have done like a Zillion still shot comparisons and Yang's crouching Hit stun kneels on the opposite leg!

And Chun Li has a similar leg stance, but her leg thickness never matches, her sash never matches, her right arm never matches.

Try again.

The ONLY changes I want to this game are:
1. Input actions after K.O.
2. Gouken and Akuma's original theme music back. (a Ryu remix is not a real theme capcom)

Poison plz.

Add Elena in it please :D

For those of you who were hoping for new characters/content...

Keep in mind they announced AE would be the very last game in the iteration, and if they plan to add more characters that would just make the balancing process harder. Even then, stuff like new characters are NEVER for free (at least for Capcom games), so my theory is that they're only just gonna work on balancing the characters.

That's just my theory though.

meh

@#53

Isn't that Oni?

Psst... I heard from a very reliable source that Omega Rugal is going to be in the game. But, you didn't hear that from me...

...Yep.

@ #68.

YES. Why were Akuma's and Gouken's themes nerfed into some Ryu's theme variations? And now Evil Ryu included, 4 characters are stuck with the same theme. "Oh, but you could just fight Shin Akuma and Shin Gouken in Arcade mode." What if I'm playing online? When I fight Akuma and Gouken, I want to hear THEIR themes, not Ryu's.

And yes, I also want post KO hits. Capcom was like "oh, they're disrespectful." Bull.

@ 75
remember post-KO hits for MvC1 and MvC2?

I have a feeling this might be the last patch or any of downloable thing ever for IV series...

We ALL know Street Fighter X Tekken will have PLENTY of patches/updates.

Has ONO's team got anything right the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time?

@ #76

I'm not sure about MvC1, but I do remember post KO hits in MvC2. You would press start and were then allowed to smash your opponent up for a bit. But you couldn't do it if you did a Team Hyper Combo finish.

I agree with #68 and 75, after KO' we should be able to hit them!!!!!!!!!!! I look forward to that after I beat someone! Let me kick yun after I knock his ass out from a hard earned victory!

Capcom, do you admit that your fighting games always have unbalances on purpose to increase interest on your product, to keep the higher-ups happy in order to keep a steady stream of revenue coming in...eventhough you COULD have a balanced game?

Do expect us to believe that MvC3 and TvC and SF4 were put on market because the team thought they were truly 'complete'???

ANSWER!!!... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdU8oq...

I have a creeping suspicion that Yun will be buffed further to troll us. Then Super Ultra Street Fighter IV: Mega Arcade Edition will be released for $40.

its a free update and people are asking for characters? give me a break already.

Wat we need is to have ALL character tournament worthy, forget about adding more characters that will go unused anyway.

agreed with #42. at least give back ryu ssf4 cr.Mk, without it, ryu does horrible in some matches imo.
a little damage boost on solar plexus wont be too much to ask for either.
super trap i will consider that to be a little bit broken.

All i ask for is a decent attempt at balancing the game similar to super and the addition of CHAMPIONSHIP MODE. Don't know if anyone remembers this but i thought i was f*****g GODLIKE!!!

All the characters need the wear & tear like Oni's 2nd outfit so anybody has a tweeter tell Ono.

Anyone who still plays SSF4: thepuscifer (XBL)

I play that over AE, I do have AE but yeah, Seth and Ryu are useless in it now IMO

Aluppoj and denaycous_dee85> yes WE NEED ALEX, please Capcom make it happen we need Alex from SF3 in here it will bring new life to the game Guaranteed! Mika would be cool for Alex as a rival and Aluppoj brought up a interesting concept though at the Skyscaper stage Hugo and the workers are gone, could it be Hugo as the other character?

It's hilarious to me that people actually want Ryu buffed back to where he was in super.

As if he's unplayable in AE...

Lets face it, theres only one character the REALLY needs to be balanced, and thats Yun.
But i would like to see them actually make Gouken good. Hes ment to be the master of the shoto's for gods sake! He should be one of the best, not one of the worst.

I really hope there gonna add 4 new characters, 2 from 3S and 2 from Alpha...
Alex
Sean
Birdie
Karin

Why are they making it a big deal that this re-balance is free? Shouldn't it be free in the first place?

Is it gonna be called SSF4 "BE" a.k.a
Balanced
Edition
?

@89
I want Ryu buffed to the point where he was in vanilla.

=P

Maybe they're doing the free balance patch come xmas time to persuade people to buy it who didn't the first time around. Free doesn't necessarily mean they won't make money off of it.

the pic is honda n sakura.

I'm sad, because they're probably gonna fix the damage scaling reset glitch with T.Hawk's U2 after FA.

@95 No Sh*t Sherlock

So, guys who said something about all the workers and Hugo being gone brings up a good point. What the heck happened?

@ #15 wtf? buff guile? everyone knows how lame people can play guile. Sonic boom, sonic boom, flash kick! there is no way of getting close to that coward of a fighter. So few recovery frames after he throws a sonic boom that you can never punish that and if you jump you get flashed kicked in the mouth.

Just buff the lower tier characters please. No stupid nerfs again.

still holding out hope for new characters to fill those two empty spaces. Hoping for like Alex/Hugo/R.Mika
