EXTRA EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT!
Free stuff from Capcom!

Why is free in quotations, Ono?

Gazooki said on October 14, 2011 at 5:08 p.m.

This would be the best birthday present ever if I actually had a version of SSF4 that could get updates. My main Cody is going up the tier list! :D

I like how he says it's free no crap if we had to pay for it there would be riots in the streets

Osbjorn said on October 14, 2011 at 5:12 p.m.

Finally the good version

Getdownbrown83 said on October 14, 2011 at 5:13 p.m.

You can bet your bottom dollar there are no new fighters dedinetly if it's free capcom don't give you free characters.

NyuBomber said on October 14, 2011 at 5:13 p.m.

@9 He's quoting what was said when they first announced AE2012. Which is that it'd be a free update.

SFJake said on October 14, 2011 at 5:16 p.m.

Who cares about consoles. No date for PC.. Geeze...

#16

Hakansoilbarrel said on October 14, 2011 at 5:19 p.m.

(Put in new chars, this really isn't as exciting as SFxT/UMVC3, but props for making it free!)

#17

Anon said on October 14, 2011 at 5:30 p.m.

@SFJake lol more like who cares about PC version. Console version is waaaaay more popular. Not to mention waaaaay less pirated.

Didn't expect it to be coming this year.

Sweeeet. Wonder if all the changes are final? (._.)

#23

C2Q said on October 14, 2011 at 7:59 p.m.

@18 Irrelevant, the game was released for PC as well. God why are all console players idiotic all the time.

#24

EMPEROR_COW said on October 14, 2011 at 9:07 p.m.

@23:
this is crapcom we're talking about here ...
the company that invented (copy-paste)... they milk out their franchise to the death (this isnt a complaint .. just stating facts) ... look at sfxt ... basicly 90% of the sf side was already done before they even started the project ...

heres what i expect ... there will probably be another FINAL sf4 ... maybe ssf4 turbo ... maybe ssf4:3rd strike .. who knows ... but i expect that they would (copy-paste) the new characters they did for sfxt into the sf4 engine.. like hugo, poison, rolento .. and whatever other characters they have up their sleeves ...

im acctually looking forward to that ... (even if they didnt announce it .. it will probably happen with all the ranting going on in the internet :P) .. cuz i tried sfxt for 2 days straight at eurogamer and well ... i just prefer sf4 ...

#25

THEFINESTBLEND said on October 14, 2011 at 9:32 p.m.

That's not gonna happen whiny scrub, no new characters for you, go back to Runescape & cowadoody.

#26

aridarron said on October 14, 2011 at 9:49 p.m.

*YAWN* Ppl are still playing this game? I guess I'll try this re-balancing until SFXT comes out but i'm not excited about a patch or some costumes, a 2-4 dlc character teaser would have brought back some life to this game for me.

lol thats funny cause it's true

#28

xRELLIKx said on October 14, 2011 at 10:08 p.m.

FFS!! Fix Adon, he's already mid at best and you nerf his jag kicks damage ASWELL its vulnerability and hardly give the guy anything...

RETARDED!!!

#29

LK said on October 14, 2011 at 10:29 p.m.

Extra characters and free don't exist in the same multi-verse where Capcom resides.

As a matter of fact, free and Capcom is in itself an oxymoron.

#30

Idiot said on October 14, 2011 at 11:12 p.m.

@24 What does the game being released for PC and consoles have to do with the game being more or less pirated, or the assumption of no one caring about PC version? Are you a console gamer by your logic?

#31

VanCityPlayboy said on October 14, 2011 at 11:37 p.m.

will Ono ever get to the bottom of this? it's NEVER been confirmed anywhere and a year has passed on this and whoever this is will eitherstay locked forever and/or was deleted from the game

Moosh said on October 14, 2011 at 11:46 p.m.

@29 Even if Adon isn't top, Jaguar kick was an OP move that needed adjustment.

#33

WinstonChurchill said on October 14, 2011 at 11:48 p.m.

@#27

Of course people are still playing the most watched Capcom game...........

How can i cheer for this when they are nerfing Akuma without reason, f-ck you capcom.

#35

VanCityPlayboy said on October 15, 2011 at 12:07 a.m.

aridarron> I totally agree with you 110% I seriously think 2 characers DLC or Alex making it to the game would have brought new life into the game as I said perviously that mystery SSF4AE character never been revealed and/nor confirmed anywhere

#36

DarkSamus said on October 15, 2011 at 12:09 a.m.

Now we just need to wait for the PC release date for this patch :D

THEFINESTBLEND said on October 15, 2011 at 1:24 a.m.

Typical scrubs whining about getting extra characters for a game when they can barely play any of the characters that are already there..

PLease go back to Madden & Halo 09'er scum.

#39

THEFINESTBLEND said on October 15, 2011 at 1:35 a.m.

AWW poor baby, widdle scrub wont be getting any new characters aridarron, my heart bleeds for you, after all you'd totally mastered all the character that were already there didn't you?

You should just stop playing fighting games & go back to WoW or something, you're really not welcome with you scrubby character begging & constant childish bawwwing.

#40

THEFINESTBLEND said on October 15, 2011 at 1:39 a.m.

VanCityPlayboy the game is still the top tournament fighter played today, it doesn't need new characters, why don't you just go & play Mugen I think you'll be more at home with something casual like that.
You can have all the pointless extra characters you want then & you won't have to stink up fighting game forums with your scrubby crying.

#41

Bushinryuken said on October 15, 2011 at 2:05 a.m.

A lot of you don't realize that the hype AND the cash payout for SSFIV is a lot bigger at just about every tournament. There are a few exceptions where the MVC3 hype might be bigger, but usually AE easily trumps it in both regards.

(I love both games btw, so I'm really not being biased here.)

#42

Kirkwhy said on October 15, 2011 at 2:56 a.m.

lol like anyone cares about this pointless update

#43

Necreon said on October 15, 2011 at 3 a.m.

@18 You would look more like a wise man, if you would know when to stay silent. Everybody knows that SF games are all about online (or offline, but multiplayer) modes, right? Just to know my blind console fanboy friend, PC version CAN'T BE played online without an original copy, unlike vanilla.

And I can tell you, INCREDIBLE how much people bought and plays it online, so your tipical foolish "I know nothing about it but let's say the word "piracy" so I'm always right" words are just pathetic.

Sorry for the offense, but you know the PC community of SF, the REAL community who LOVES Street Fighter and they (hmmm.. we) would do anything for it to support are just far more fanatic than most of the console players call themselves hardcore, or far more you can imagine. Not to mention how much we waited for even a PC version while we had only vanilla.

So when you are talking about the PC community, you aren't talking about the random 13 years old "let's download it" guys. Your kind of people who says "who cares about PC, blahblah piracy blhahblah" just OFFENDING us every single time when we just make a simple question like "why no info about PC?" . We are patient, f*ckin patient, but your kind just keeps acting like a "higher and better race". You know, this was a german idea during World War II. Disgusting.

So use your head, before you say.

Thanks, Capcom. I look forward to the update.

I'll be playing SSFIV:AE for a long time.

Inception said on October 15, 2011 at 7:59 a.m.

@36

It's Yang, but you've (VanCityPlayboy) had a constant nerdgasm since that picture was shown by Ono and all you want is someone to get to the bottom of it. How about MOVE ON! If Alex or another DLC character haven't been released already, do you think someone would have at least ripped their resources from the PC version to show they were in the game? Well no one has. Maybe you can sleep at night now.

Grubba said on October 15, 2011 at 9:41 a.m.

What a bunch of creeps in this thread.

@THEFINESTBLEND, your a moron. Stop being a Fu<king Penis.

aridarron said on October 15, 2011 at 12:44 p.m.

lol @ 40 well if you like the way how Capcom does things fine!, stay quiet then but some of us think a dlc would be nice, we have the option to voice our opinion, calling me names won't change that fact. If it's takes you years to learn some combos that's your problem.

@34 After the launch of UMvC3 and SFXT you really think that will still be the case?

#51

xRELLIKx said on October 15, 2011 at 12:49 p.m.

@33
Ye...right on there with the safe Bison scissor kick? 0_o
The move is pretty much a gamble to get in (less you know somebody will go for a throw). It's unsafe on block, cannot be comboed and is now apparently easier to be counter hit out of it, on top of doing less damage. The double dose of nerfs seems a little harsh...His buff is now cl. MP. which is pretty useless, as now doing the link cl. MP>L/M jaguar kick does 10 less damage. And while you might think cl.MP>JK makes a nice reset, it really doesn't. So might as well stick to the old LP>LP>Rising jaguar and score a knockdown. Nobody will be using U1...and the focus attack was a gimme, which any player would gladly trade...

Thats WAY OP, especially Adon, whom has jack for combos and pretty much has to spend the majority of the time walking back and forth across the screen either. His AA rising jaguar has low priority and an ex does jack for chip compared to say, Ryu's dp.

Please elaborate...

#52

AsaShoryuu said on October 15, 2011 at 8:45 p.m.

1 : Please DO NOT change Ryu's h.shoryuken to unable to fadc if not it is completely useless.
2 : Please bring back SAGAT'S STANDING LIGHT KICK to only 1 hit , not 2 hits !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3 : Please make SAGAT'S TIGER KNEE same damage as how was it in vanilla , there's no need to nerf his TIGER KNEE damage !

#53

VanCityPlayboy said on October 16, 2011 at 6:36 a.m.

Inception> got any proof to back up your claim? prove to me you do you know it's Yang, seriously show me something to back up your claim.
