Ono: Super Street Fighter 4 AE announcement coming after 3DS release

Posted — January 10, 2011 at 11:39 p.m. PST

Capcom's Yoshinori Ono said this evening, via his Twitter account, that an announcement for Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition and Street Fighter X Tekken would happen after the Nintendo 3DS version of SSF4 was released.

The release date for SSF4 3D Edition is February 2011 in Japan, and a North American release will more than likely happen in March.

Offering a bit more insight, Ono left this image in his post.

This is a badge for Capcom's annual Captivate event, which has been held in April the last two years, and the company has made a number of big announcements there, so it seems like an ideal time to announce more information on these two projects.

Also, on the official Japanese SSF4 AE blog, an image was uploaded showing the hit box on Yun's Dive Kick. The green area is the hittable region, while the red square is the area the opponent can be hit by.

Tip from NEGKookyIbuki.

looks like that june rumor might be true

Burn said on January 10, 2011 at 11:50 p.m.

Lol.. No ones even going to care about AE come next month.

MaximumBlue said on January 10, 2011 at 11:52 p.m.

lol that hitbox

balmung55 said on January 10, 2011 at 11:54 p.m.

on the bright side the wait for AE will be easy with MVC3 coming out

SnakeX said on January 10, 2011 at 11:55 p.m.

Was it explained why they showed off that hitbox? I assume that some people were complaining about the dive kick and they wanted to retort by showing that off, but if we can get a translation of the blog that'd be great.

Yikes, June is way out there if the rumor is true :/

EVOBiohazard said on January 11, 2011 at 12:07 a.m.

The hitbox seems pretty lame, but that's only good :) As if Rufus wasn't enough trouble :)

He's probably just going to announce that Shin Akuma and Evil Ryu are going to be the new playable characters in the next AE update.

#14

MrPavy said on January 11, 2011 at 12:51 a.m.

i bet its more boring shotos,if it isnt then it will be a new characters thats almost a shoto

#15

DarkBurialX said on January 11, 2011 at 12:57 a.m.

If the AE is coming out on June, there should be more characters than just Yun,Yang,Oni Akuma,and Evil Ryu. I will be very disappointed if those characters are only announced.

#16

MC2 said on January 11, 2011 at 12:59 a.m.

That hitbox cannot be real, there's no way....

Aftermath1349 said on January 11, 2011 at 1:14 a.m.

You guys are acting like you've never seen images of character hit/hurt box (and if you post on this site you ought to have). Believe it or not EVERY hitbox looks like that in as much as the hitbox is small and doesn't reach the end of the limb. I wouldn't believe those pics entirely though. According to Dhalsims pics his fists should never actually cause a hit as the hitbox doesn't reach that far but we've all been hit by his standing fierce from full distance...

SethGravijah said on January 11, 2011 at 1:18 a.m.

CAPCOM sure like to announce that they'll announce something...

Sasori_ said on January 11, 2011 at 1:40 a.m.

Makes sense the hitbox is that small. I see him get hit out of it alot when i play. Nonetheless still a pretty good move. Divekicks i think are universally good. haha I wonder if Yangs is the same hitbox?

Side note: I dont see why people constantly bitch for new cahracters. Or if more than what they have now arent added theyll be pissed. More characters often times mean more balancing tweaks and or bad matchups. Having every character of every game would be terrible to try and make balanced.

#20

crispylinks77 said on January 11, 2011 at 1:53 a.m.

With MVC3 just a little over a month away, does anyone even care about AE at this point? All my hype for that game disappeared a while ago. Now I just want to play some Mahvel.

Also by June, KOF XIII might be coming out for console around that time as well. Maybe a little after. After close to 2 years of SFIV, I feel as if I just want to play some new and faster games.

#21

zUkUu said on January 11, 2011 at 2:04 a.m.

^not everyone wants to play mvc3.

i just dislike the teamplay. the characters are SUPPOSED to die. even if you win - just with "randomness". so no thanks.

#22

IwantSausages said on January 11, 2011 at 2:32 a.m.

I wonder if the announcement will be then actually finally just showing evil ryu and oni akuma in gameplay, cos o far - ziltch- why did they tease with that prior arcade release to begin with? The announcement will the be the SHOCK SURPRISE - its coming to dlc!

#23

skingg said on January 11, 2011 at 2:36 a.m.

@ zUkUu.

Exactly. People act like mvc3 is going to be the be all end all fighters. But guess what, there are alot of people that doesnt care about mvc3, not even Japan. The only reason Tokido and Daigo are going to play mvc3 is because they know its widely popular in the States and they will be challenging America.

#24

JustEddie said on January 11, 2011 at 3:02 a.m.

If AE makes it's way to us in June, then that'll be just enough time to get our mvc3 fix. Seriously, if you anyone thinks you'll be entertained with a primarily one fighting game for a SOLID 5 months, you aren't thinking ahead to clearly =P

-Will the game be on all of our "must-haves" to do list? Most definitely.
-Will it replace all fighters indefinitely? No....just...no...

#25

kododo said on January 11, 2011 at 3:14 a.m.

I'd take AE before MvC3 any day. I guess it'll be cool if they manage to balance the chars, not like in MvC2.

I really don't get the hate for SF4

#26

Psycho said on January 11, 2011 at 3:15 a.m.

lol @ people thinking ssfiv will disappear afaik marvel hasn't received enough hype as ssfiv did.

Ono has shown us Windows logos before but I hope this time the Windows keyboard is actually part of the hint.

/Facepalm...
Some people draw their attention to the keyboard and keep dreaming of a PC version...

melflomil said on January 11, 2011 at 3:42 a.m.

Yea MvC3 isnt going to end ssf4. Those 2 are to different games i'll get MvC3 just to have and ssf4 i'll play more seriously

Just sayin... a bandage could be another word for a patch;)

RedEther said on January 11, 2011 at 5:07 a.m.

And the end I guess we all feel pretty dumb for believing capcom as they stated this would be the final iteration for Street fighter 4. Belive it or not this arcade DLC is basically another game just with two or maybe four new characters added. Face guys we just Continuum Shifted aka ripped off!

SF4:AE is best suitable for a PC release. Period.

@29 Oh I didn't notice that. I hope so... ;)

brunorochaxx said on January 11, 2011 at 6:44 a.m.

that's good news for juicy, ksk, shiro, combofiend(maybe) imo.. grappler with good pokes seems to be THE nightmare for yun.

DeadlyMoves said on January 11, 2011 at 6:45 a.m.

@ #3 Burn
I dont really give a crap about MvC3. i would rather have AE as dlc, yesterday!

@ #37 fawaz
That statement makes no sense. SF will probably never be on the pc again. its way to easy to copy/hack

He's not crazy broken, but he is totally dominant.

i'm really tired of ono because of all his b%&@ last year, i couldn't care less now about his cryptic messages, when he shows something clear then i'll listen, right now there's so much games about to be released

BlankaBeast said on January 11, 2011 at 9:19 a.m.

There is always a keyboard in the pic and its never a PC version, so whatever im not even gettin hype this time.

#46

BlankaBeast said on January 11, 2011 at 9:21 a.m.

and the small hitbox is deceiving since it moves so fast.

#47

shadow050 said on January 11, 2011 at 9:51 a.m.

that hit box is ridiculous... hhe red it the part you can hit?? wow.

#48

ImmortalBison said on January 11, 2011 at 10:10 a.m.

No I think the red is the hitbox. The green is the hittable box.

I for one don't give a damn about AE. Its just a shoto and twin circle jerk anyways. Yawn. That being said if Rolento or Eagle rear their ugly heads...

Marvel vs. Capcom is what got me into fighting games in the first place so I'm gonna be playing iii for years to come. Just keep the DLC coming Capcom and ill be happy.

BlankaBeast said on January 11, 2011 at 10:22 a.m.

SF > MvC IMO

manchild said on January 11, 2011 at 11:13 a.m.

I'm way, way, way, more stoked for AE than I am for MvC3. I dont really like all the ridiculous antics of that series. Just give me a couple new characters and some tweaks i will be st SSF4AE till the next update or game comes out.

#51

crispylinks77 said on January 11, 2011 at 11:36 a.m.

SF is easier than MVC. I think that's why more people like it.

Haha just having some fun here so not trying to make anyone mad. But lets face it, the reason most people like SFIV is cause it's one of the easiest fighting games to play. The depth comes from knowing how to take advantage of your character skills and the game mechanics when the opportunity presents itself.

Imo, faster playstyles that require more technical executions are harder to play. Which is why usually only the hardcore fans like games like AH3, GG, BB, and so on.

#52

Meteoracedric said on January 11, 2011 at 12:27 p.m.

The hitbox is not the most important. Look, it's the training stage(Arcade Pack is coming for Xbox 360/ PS3)... ;)

#53

manchild said on January 11, 2011 at 12:48 p.m.

The only thing that makes street fighter "easier" than MVC is the fact that it has input short cuts. Which i think was only done because it was the first major 2d fighting game to come out in years and they didnt know if it would sell. That being said, input shortcuts dont always make the game easier. And SSF4 isnt the most successful fighting game in the world because its the "easiest", thats completely ridiculous.

#54

PowerDunk said on January 11, 2011 at 2:03 p.m.

Does anyone else realize that its the training room?
Console!

That announcement, is when we are likely to hear about additional characters.

#55

xShonuffx said on January 11, 2011 at 2:33 p.m.

@53 sigh...
@54 sigh............

It's coming from the blog in the Capcom Offices at Japan so of course they have a training room to debug stuff, they can go inside the debug room to show things you can't see in the Arcades or Consoles like the area of the hit boxes, unless you hack it of course.

Also the Ultras they featured before the arcade release was also in the training room, same with the arcade version of SFIV before that hit consoles.

I also think the Training Room can be played in SSFIV AE.

Calm down.

Do you mean "an" epic fail? Talking like a preteen girl is as epic a fail as anything i've ever seen. I just dont think SSFIV is easier than MVC or BB etc... not a big deal.
