Brett Elston has posted a translation of the Japanese Street Fighter 4 blog, which talks about the suggestions they received for Seth, Guile, Ken, Guy and Rose.
Tomoaki Ayano, Capcom's Street Fighter producer, offers a rundown on the feedback they heard and also weighs in on each character after the fact.
Hit the jump to check out the full post.
Hi there everyone, Tomoaki Ayano here again. Monday is the beginning of Golden Week here in Japan! It’s a time for everyone in Japan to go on a week-long vacation, although who knows what kind of weather we’ll be given, considering the recent cold spell!
Continuing with last week’s SSFIV character balance update requests, I’d like to share a couple of more fan requests with everyone this week! Please remember that these are actual requests from fans in Japan, and although a lot of people are requesting similar changes to the ones posted on this blog, it doesn’t mean that we’re actually going to apply to them to the game. We’re doing our own research, independent of the fan requests, but we’re always going to keep what our fans have to say in mind!

RZR|Latif sent us a very impressive combo video featuring the character he is most well known for in Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012, C. Viper. Included here are character specific and counter hit combos that show off some interesting links and set ups.
With the game so far into its life span, it is quite amazing that there are still things yet to be found; Latif does a great job of showing us that. Three heavy punches on Zangief, Ex air Burn Kick into Ultra on Fei Long, this is definitely worth a watch.
