Ono teases an update to Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012

I wonder what chaos would happen if he were to loose that Blanka figure one the bus or something. Capcom's whole fighting game division would shut down to look for it probably.

And suddenly, chaos.

So it's official :D AE 2013 yay!!! :D

@Guybrush: I'd declare that a national emergency, wouldn't anyone?

I'll start us off: Give Gouken an "Angry Scar" for his non-ex parries that costs one to two bars. It would change his ENTIRE metagame.

A new update with a few new characters and a little balancing would be wonderful

Oh lord lol.

C'mon Canadian character! C'mon Canadian character!

CANADA NEEDS A CHARACTER SO F'IN BAD!!!!

URIEN

Man if they put Karin in I'd drop my main and go straight for her. I'd like to see some 3s cast as well. Sodom and Birdie too. Oh well. If it happens it happens.

I've finally picked the game up and am working on learning Makoto and Ibuki. The sound of an update scares me a little since I wouldn't want either of those two to receive nerfs but since they aren't heavily used characters they probably wouldn't receive nerfs at all.

OMG I'd be sooooooooooooooooooooooooo hype! another AE thing with 4 new characters and balance updates! enough with the top tier reign of fei and akuma!

new chars?

Awesome! I'd be happy with character tweaks, but extra characters and stages? Take my money.

Oh man, I sure hope this is legit!

I still want Charlie

I'd very much look forward to any meaningful update.

LEAVE SSF4 ALONE!

*sob*

BUFF CLAW KTHXBYE

Ah-Hm. My question is... Is this really needed? Don't get me wrong, it's great to see this game potentially get support but it's in a place that's good right now. 2012 fixed the issues in AE and balance wise, it is in a sensible place with no stupid stuff (none that's gamebreaking or balance busting at least). Wouldn't the effort be better based somewhere else?

Unless, you know, Cammy's going to get another buff. Then I'm game XD

MY D1CK HURTS MY D1CK HURTS!!!!

....oddly I am betting they are referring to a balance change of some sort. I don't see them adding character to this. Or at least I should say quality character, not some swap like E.Ryu was.

They already created models for new characters in SFxTK (Poison, Hugo, Elena, etc).

You know Capcom, never going to pass up an opportunity to re-use assets. Not that I am complaining. Ono-san, take my money!

I'd like to see Sodom, Rolento, Poison, and Hugo, (Mad Gear 4 life, yo!) but i know this is never gonna happen.

Popular characters like Karin and Elena have better chances.

...that is, IF they're going to add characters.

Its very necessary, buffs. nerfs and ups!

Take all my money.

Put_alex_in_ae

Only new characters I really want are Charlie and Haggar (I know, both kinda similar to others). Otherwise, obvious buffs (Guile, Rose, Dudley, Dee Jay, Vega) and nerfs (Cammy, Akuma, Seth, Fei Long) and there's a load of online improvements and modes they could make to the game, along with some kind of decent YouTube recording facility.

OMG YES! .......YES! And more YES!!!!

Characters and stages please!

don't mind balance updates, buffing yang would be nice, but no more characters pls

So nobody thought this might just mean the SF series in general rather than the SFIV series specifically?

More Ex Characters,gives us another troll character,Skulloman or Sean and I want Garuda too,or Obviously Alex

I'd be up for this 100% even if it is a title update (meaning it'll cost money, like AE). What I'd like to see in it if they make it that way is I guess 4~ characters (I'd take the SFxT characters + Q and Alex!), some new stages, maybe old modes that were removed, better netcode, etc. And of course to buff the low tiers, but I know it wouldn't just be buffs for just them, we may get another Yang or Honda over nerfing >.>

Anyways, even just a balance patch would be cool, provided that they are at least mostly good buff/nerfs. Like buffs to Chun, Rose, Vega, Honda, Yang...and I guess nerf Akuma! lol

#35 Nope, he wouldn't show SFIV it would be way more cryptic.

@32

HAGGAR! ALEX! And the folks from SFxT!

That, plus some stages and a balance (to balance in the new guys) and you can have my $40.00!...... Forget that, have another $60.00!

I love this franchise and am more than happy to support it:)

Man, so many possibilities. They could use the models from some of SFxT's swap costumes to do Charlie, Alex, Sodom, Necro, Urien and Gill. Just need to bring back the old movesets and work them in. They could also use Hugo, Poison, Rolento, Haggar and Elena if they want. I know bringing in more characters is a stretch but here's hoping for at least one!

It does scare me as someone who mains Cammy in every game (yes even SFII, SFA3, MvC2) but I can work her no matter how bad she is. I am a T. Hawk mainer too after all :)

@ badjab326,

Yeah, with the Ps4 (Orbis) on the rise, maybe it's a Street Fighter related announcement for the next gen console. I thought that originally when I saw this announcement.

As for an update to SSF4 2012, er... if it is, just don't do it so "intentionally" brokenly like you did originally, Ono!

AE2012 is fine enough as it is... no more update please. No disrespect to those who are interested though.

I will definitely will like to know if Ono san is planing just a character balance or adding more content. I'll love to see more characters and if possible A LOT more stages. The return of the championship mode will be awesome.
For characters Alex, Oro and Urien from 3rd strike. Birdie, Eagle, Sodom and Karin from Alpha. Geki and Lee from SF1. And add 1 or 2 totally new characters. That will be INSANE!!!

But i think that will not happen. Will probably just get a balance update. That sounds more real.

Edit: @Aluppoj Oh I forgot Rolento, Elena, Poison and Hugo. LOL cause they are already on SFxT I forgot that those can be added.

mhh when I think about it, it could alos mean Street Fighter 5. I (among many others) voiced the wish for a SF 5. maybe for next gen.

@ #42

An Akuma fan WOULD say that.

Kappa

Hmm..as much I like the update but if there is a new character, I'm afraid it will be port from sfxt. Nothing more

@46

And that would be fine.

Hugo vs T.Hawk for the first time ever!

AE 2012 is the most balanced street fighter to date imo, please don't ruin that =(

More alternate costumes: wanna see Ryu in jeans and a t-shirt and Ken wearing hakama (^_^)

SFxT v.2013

SSFAE v.2013

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand probably UMvC3 v.2013

We are set up for a great fighting yea, arent we?

This better be good!!

I'm not really keen on rebalancing of characters, as AE2012 has been praised for being the "most balanced." I still say it just needs to be updated cosmetically to make it seem fresh or newer. Look at how SFs were done in the 90s. With each new version/update, backgrounds changed color, the life meters were changed, and other stuff.

Personally, I'd be okay with just that, and maybe some better or remixed music. It would actually be cool to have the 3D rendered stages from SF2 onward. I'm just scared that if AE2012 gets updated again, we'll end up with the lemon that was SSF4AE and have more Yun/Yang/Fei Long rape sessions...

i will pay 20 bucks for a new version.

Ill take Alpha E.Ryu instead of the Demon version

Quit playing games with my heart, Ono.

Elena (make her good, please for the love of god), Rolento, and R Mika please

I wish he would leave the game alone, as it's just now beginning to come into it's own.

Watch how this retail/digital update makes piss poor sales and Ono finally gets fired LOL

My wishlist:

- A 3rd Ultra for each character

- Game speed increased slightly

- Buffs only for the cast -- NO nerfs for anyone

- A second Super for everyone (choose before the match)

- No new characters.

And the pc update coming later 2015...

Propably just balancing and if we are lucky, we'll get some new characters that are already in SFxT since they wouldn't have to animate new ones.

Great! Thank you capcom. In my opinion we don't need more characters. We need balance changes to the current roster.

1) Make some of Adon's moves punishable.
2) Let Blanka fadc and follow up a regular horiball, not just ex (3 meters is too much for that damage).
3) Make Ibuki's tsumuji loop a 2f link (it's not plinkable), lp neckbreaker travel less across the screen and have less damage and recovery, more chip damage on the kunai.
4) Make Vega's Ex Fba projectile invincible.
5) Make Gouken's palms projectile invincible for more frames (like Balrog's turn punch), ex palm strike invincible on startup, ex tatsu autocorrect (like Dj's), cl.mk a command normal, Ultra 1 startup and hitbox like Ryu's Ultra 2.
6) Less active frames and larger hurtbox on Dudley's j.hk.
7) More projectile invincible frames on Rose's soul reflect, and her bnb changed to a 2f link.
8) Oni's hk slash doesn't crossup, just the ex version.
9) Sakura's lk tatsu +5 on hit.
10) Add more stages!!!

All I ask for is a online training mode, like SFxT has. As for new ppl I would like Eagle, Karin, and Birdie.

Anyone can read japanese on box.? Wat say?

Unless they are adding new characters, which I'd be totally for, I would like for the game to be left alone. Personally, I'm not keen on balance patches alone, because its going to result in nerfs and buffs based on popular opinion, and I don't want another Yang situation.

If they do decide to do just a balance patch, then I'd like it if they just buff the lower tier characters and leave the rest alone.

Personally, I think this is a bad idea. This game is fairly balanced, and I have a feeling if a new update comes out its gonna be AE (not 2012) all over again...watch em nerf Balrog too -_-

BUFF MY MAIN AND NERF ALL THE OTHERS PLZ CAPCOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and I agree with #67

My wishlist of things that are actually reasonable, balanced and not pipedreams:

1. Reduce Seth's DP from 7 frames invulnerability to 5, same as Sagats. Seth's DP is 5 frames with 7 frames invulnerability.

2. Reduce Seth's EX DP from 22 frames invulnerability to 11.

3. T. Hawk's DP should have 1 more frame of invulnerability on his light version.

4. Online training mode

5. Guile's EX Flash Kick should have 1 more frame of invulnerability, to differentiate itself from his light Flash Kick rather than just essentially having more damage.

6. Dudley's Rose taunt should do 10 damage on hit.

7. Remove 'unblockabes'. Having a 1-frame timing to block a fake-but-not-fake crossup is not strategy. Either have it be a crossup, or don't.

8. Dan's Legendary Taunt should give him full Super upon completion. AKA: He ends up right back where he was essentially.

9. Hakan's Oil Dive needs to be buffed so it's actually useful.

Geez, the naysayers really haven't got a f@cking clue, do they? The game lets you PICK which version of Super you want to play. Have you all forgotten? If you think v2012 is fine as is and there shouldn't be more characters, stick with it. YOU DON'T NEED TO PLAY A NEW UPDATE.

And content or leave it alone.

1) Alex
2) Hugo
3) Rolento
4) Elena
5) Poison

6) OMG Please Mike Haggar! (Final Fight Trio Complete!)
Balance for the new cast.

Followed by a classic stage pack! (Like a COD map pack)

PUT ONO ON MARVEL's TEAM, PLEASE!

This game's udders are extremely saggy and only give dust. Just work on Darkstalkers 4.

The only thing i can think of would be to slightly nerf cammy, mabey nerf some of the cross ups too, but other than that, the game is pretty well balanced.

ALEX nuff said

Are people seriously asking for *nerfs* to characters?!

Why would you make character less rewarding and interesting, in what is arguably one the most balanced fighting game in recent years?

Fei got shredded in 2012; Akuma is getting nerfs only since SSF4 and Infiltration is the only one winning with him becase he's godlike and could win the friggin' HAKAN; for Seth to be effective you gotta be the damn Poongko; Cammy has her fair share of bad matchups; Viper got his ridiculous damage adjusted; and the list goes on and on.

Ask for damn buffs to other characters or simply to unlock tools which haven't been used yet (every character in the game has normals, if not even specials which are trash), instead of ruining people's hard work (setups) and create retarded stuff like what happened with Yang.

@ #69

You're free to Seths or what?

His DP already got nerfed and that was huge, the moment you take him away the best DP in the game invinciblity wise the guy will just melt.

And I hope everyone realizes this: if 2013 comes, they're gonna recycle stuff from SFxT.

Forget about any new content, it's gonna be characters like Elena, Poison and Hugo, only adjusted to fit SF4 engine.

#59 clearly impossible for the game speed increase. 'cuz that means the frame data of some moves will also change.

"7. Remove 'unblockabes'. Having a 1-frame timing to block a fake-but-not-fake crossup is not strategy. Either have it be a crossup, or don't."

I think that's a big thing they need to address.

Also I'd like them to update the trials. Having trials are basically a tutorial for combos etc and how a character works, & having trials that are phased out 2 versions later but still in the mode is just stupid, not to mention 4 characters don't even have trials which is unfair to the new AE cast members!

I know it's probably not a big deal to you pros but back when SSFIV came out that was the main way I learned how to play, & im sure it's where alot of newcomers first go to get to understand, and even start to enjoy the game

/rant

also, add a local tournament mode for competition, think that would be a nice give back to the community :)

Oh boy....

SIKE just a rumor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make all reversal > FADCs -3 on block.

No more get out of jail free cards for the select few.

I want Alex in this game, but if he's in, then they're gonna have to give everyone the 'turn around' animation for when he flash chops them, which will take some work from the developers to implement now.

#78 fools. unblockables are technologies that you need to apply. I think everyone has one, even hakan or dan or t.hawk. don't ask for a nerf that is clearly based on the player's skill. unblockables are hard to time, but it is very rewarding. and if your opponent has godlike reactions or just damn good, he might even block it.

Put ME inthe game!

..and give me like 5 ultras.

@82- The characters share most of the same wireframe animations, so it's really just a matter of applying the turnaround to the models.

But yes, Alex is a must have for this game. Not including him with the rest of the SF3 characters is just stupid.

Addressing unblockables is my main issue.

If they're going to do another update please lose the "Super" in the title there has been too many. SSF4, SSF4 AE, SSF4 AE 2012, and now possibly SSF4 AE 2012? I'd rather wait on a completely new SF if it's just gonna be another "Super" i'd say it's ran it's course I sold my console because how stale the fighters had become.

lmao @ people who think Capcom is going to add new characters and stages to AE 2012. its Capcom. Balance tweaks and that will be all. Trolololo

Adding some more Alpha and SFIII characters would be great!
Especially Alex! They can technically add all the new characters from SF X TEKKEN. They would just need to change a couple of things.

YAY! I LIKE!!!

The same people screaming for updates and new characters will be the same ones complaining about it not being balanced.

AE 2012 doesn't need an update right now. Sure there's characters that are really good(Cammy, Akuma,Fei Long) but they're not unbeatable. It just means you have to step your game up and learn the matchup. Some of you people are acting like Cammy and Akuma are Storm and Magneto from MvC2. Let's wait until after this upcoming Evo to talk about updates.

ORO!!

This game needs a nice Juicy update not just to balance but to everything. New online modes and update the netcode. just straight up polish the game. I honestly don't want new characters though because that would only mean more balancing to them because they WILL need tunning sooner or later when people figure out the character

*slight tease at possible update*
"OH MY GOD ADD THIS CHARACTER AND THIS CHARACTER AND THIS NEW MECHANIC...!"
For the love of God, some of you people need to calm down every once in a while. There's a big reason for disappointment. Uninformed hype.

EVIL RYU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DEVIL JIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't nerf Cammy's combo possibilities please :E

And I hope these characters get hit PROPERLY with the nerf bat

Akuma
Fielong(not so much)
Cviper
Seth
CAMMY!(IN ALL FREAKING CAPS)

No, they do not break the game, but they are a bit overpowered compared to the other characters. These characters for sure need the most attention in the nerf department. BRING ON THE UPDATE ONO!!!!

It's going to be recycle characters from SFXT I could see it now Hugo,Elena and Rolento lol

Trials for the fighters who don't have one aswell as A Fight Your Rival cutscene.

Everything else is meh...and doesn't need to be mettled with.

VIOLENT KEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JINPACHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
