Our favourite old trickster, Mr. Yoshinori Ono, has been tweeting about appearing at E3 this year. Mostly known for being the man behind the Street Fighter 4 series and Street Fighter X Tekken, Ono has also been reported to be helping out with Capcom titles Remember Me and the still very mysterious title "Deep Down", shown during Sony's PS4 announcement back in February.
While it is likely that his tweets may have something to do with "Deep Down", this may also be perfect timing for Capcom to flesh out details regarding the the Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition update that is currently being worked on. You'll find his somewhat uninformative tweets below.
of course!! ;D RT @thechopper1209 hey Yoshi will you be at E3 this year?
While these tweets may mean nothing, it's worth noting that Ono has recently been posting a lot of tweets related to Street Fighter, which might point to something good for fighting game fans at E3 — only time will tell.
DM|Xian has posted his suggested changes to Gen in the update to Street Fighter 4 series over on his blog. He notes that he hopes that Gen doesn't get any changes, but goes through his wishlist of possible changes which include less recovery on hands, Ultra 2 changes and more.
Hit the jump to check out the full list.
A lot of people has been asking me what i want for 2013 Gen , Honestly i do just hope he remain the way he is , nothing much i wanna ask cause I feel he still has potential but just that execution is blocking the way of him rising higher.. but well everybody has a wish list right? Here i go ..
1. Further range and less Recovery on the mantis hands .. you know its really irritating when i do crouch mp into hands at far range and it doesn't connect or sometimes opponent crouching and they can block it (not a combo) .. It definitely is not too much to ask for because the hands is only for combos , not really much use outside of that so i guess is fair..
Less Recovery on hands is obvious because i don't want Fei Long to rekka me on block .. whats worse is ex rekka is a punish even if i hit them, that don't make sense right hahaha its -7 on hit now and more than -9 on block .. so maybe can just change it just a little? maybe -6 on hit and -7 on block? A lot of characters can punish my hands now like Ibuki ultra 2 , Blanka ultra 2 .. Adon ultra 1 and more .. So its kinda irritating hahaha

CapcomFightersTV has uploaded the last two episodes of their Challenge Capcom series in which Combofiend and Haunts play Street Fighter X Tekken v2013 and Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 on Xbox 360. During the battles with numerous opponents, Combofiend covers potential character changes in the upcoming SF4 update for Sagat, Dudley, M. Bison and E. Honda.
Note: The changes mentioned by Combofiend are not guaranteed to be included in the game, however, these are tweaks that Capcom U.S. has sent over to Japan for further consideration.
Combofiend and Haunts begin talking about character changes at around 37:30 in the first video and 43:00 in the second video. Below is a bit to get you started and hit the jump to read more changes and check out the videos.
Sagat:
- Both hits of standing Light Kick special cancel-able.
- Tiger Destruction (Ultra 1) hits full in corner.
- Block stun on EX Tiger Knee changed to 0.
- Tiger Cannon (Ultra 2) full hits on juggle.
CapcomFightersTV have uploaded two great set of matches for both Street Fighter X Tekken v2013 and Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012. Up first we have RZR|LPN vs. AGE|Wolfkrone in SFxT and after the jump is WW|Andreas vs. WW|Ryan Hart in a first to ten in SF4.
This entry covers what the community in Japan wanted to see changed with Dee Jay, Zangief, Gouken, Sakura and Adon, along with the official responses from Tomoaki Ayano. Combofiend noted that he saw quite a few similarities in what was requested in Japan, to what players wanted state side. Hit the jump to read everything.
Yello everyone, Tomoaki Ayano here!
Last week was Golden Week here in Japan, and almost everyone in the entire country had pretty much the whole week off. Instead of going off on a trip somewhere like a lot of people do, I decided to just stay in Tokyo, which was a lot of fun. The crowds at every turn, however, were not so fun.
There won’t be any national holidays to give the team here a brief respite for a while now, so we’re going to dig in deep and get a lot of work done!
Moving on to the SSFIV balance update questionnaire, I want to say thank you to all of the fans who sent in their balance requests.
The deadline for requests has now passed, so we’re currently tallying up everything. We’ll announce the final numbers once they’re ready, so sit tight. In the mean time, here are some more suggestions that your fellow fighting game fans have suggested!

RyuApprentice put together a quick video showing that various unblockable set ups from Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 do not work in the original Street Fighter 4. The video shows that whatever it is that makes unblockable setups possible in v2012 is clearly absent in Vanilla for those displayed here.
What do you think may be the cause of the unblockable setups' existence? Let us know in the comments section below.

When the line up for the Topanga Asia League was first announced, many people were wondering why Infiltration's name was not included on the list. Speculation was going around that perhaps he was not invited to compete among the other top players who attended.
In a recent Tweet from DM|Xian, who also competed at the Topanga Asia League, he stated that Infiltration was in fact invited to play at the event. According do Xian, the EVO 2012 champion declined the invitation in the form of not showing up.
@reebcfp they did invite but infiltration didnt come
With Sako winning the entire event and MCZ|Daigo and RZR|Fuudo taking the proceeding top spots, how do you think Infiltration would have stacked up against them? Let us know in the comments below.
Combofiend and Haunts are back with another episode in their Challonge Capcom series where they take games online and play against stream monsters. In today's video they are playing Street Fighter X Tekken v2013 and discussing some of the proposed changes to characters in the Street Fighter 4 update.
Here is a few that were mentioned.
What I would hope happens is that characters are buffed more than nerfed, actually I don't want characters nerfed, only buffed.
Fans asked for increased damage of Guile's Sonic Hurricane, I pushed faster startup on his Ultra 1 Flash Explosion.
In my book, Makoto is one of the most balanced characters. I did request for her vitality to be put back to 1,000.
