Yoshinori Ono posted an image of the arcade version of Super Street Fighter 4 which shows the character select screen in the background.

There's quite a bit going on in this one shot. On the left hand side of the second monitor, it appears that Yun's blue and yellow hat is visible in one of the new character slots. Also, zUkUu pointed out what is likely Yang's artwork on the select screen.

On the first monitor, it looks like Cammy has recently knocked down Yun. Here is the original image with a few comparison shots to illustrate these things.

Considering this evidence and other hints, it's all but confirmed that Yun and Yang will be added to Super Street Fighter 4's arcade version.

Also, these two fighters might be playable in the very near future, hit the link below for the full details.

Late Thursday night, Capcom posted this image on the official Japanese SSF4 blog.

The Japanese text says something to the effect of, "What the heck are these?" Although, we know that these two items are commonly associated with Yun and Yang of Street Fighter 3 fame.

In addition, Capcom announced another arcade location test in Japan, on Sept. 11 & 12 — which included the skateboard and rollerskate shadow image. It seems odd that Capcom would add this photo in if the new location test didn't feature Yun and Yang in some way.
