[MarkMan]

New Street Fighter IV Arcade Location test is going on in JAPAN NOW!!!!

Recently unveiled character El Fuerte is now playable and plays much like R. Mika from the Zero/Alpha series...

New unveiled character Rufus. Reminiscent of Mr. Heart from Hokuto No Ken (Fist of the North Star)...

Also with this newest location test, the FOUR KINGS have returned!

Vega, Balrog, M. Bison and Sagat are all playable!

Rejoice!

More info news/soon.

Thank the down right fierce gods for the info...

[HomerSimpson-Man]

M. Bison, eh?

Must be zombie M. Bison coming back for revenge!

[MisterHero]

Ugh, Bison.

WHY WONT YOU DIE

[Linkzg]

Do they still have Balrog as M. Bison over there?

[MarkMan]

Dictator (US M. Bison) is the skinny SF2 style, not the beefy Alpha/Zero version...

[Elbrain]

Holy shit can't wait till I see Bison, I bet anything he is going to be eating Steroids for Breakfast!

Ironic considering how beefy everyone is in SF4 anyway with the design style they are doing.

Well if he is the boss of this game and he is like he was in the original he is going to rape players left and right.

[viewtiful_dru]

Bison back???

[Shockgamer]

Rufus looks like that?

Oh boy, I can hear the wailing of the Street Fighter fans already.

Also: Wow.

[g35twinturbo]

please bring Sakura and Karen!

I guess the closes I'm going to get fro mthe Alpha/Zero series is the new character who plays like R.Mika :(

[Kintaro]

R. Mika reborn!

Rufus eh? Well, all that's left is Akuma and that's our line up. I knew they wouldn't kill of Bison. =P

Thanks for the head's up MarkMan.

[MarkMan]

The new IC card system features in place now are the ability to buy different colors for your char's outfits (2 each as of now) and also earn stamps from different arcades that you play at.

Heart couldent be hurt by normal attacks.

[Router]

Awesome. I guess pics should turn up soon?

[Elbrain]

Heart couldent be hurt by normal attacks.

Only the invincible Fist of the North Star can kill that man.

[Dali]

M. Bison playable, yay. He better not be the final boss. If so, disappoint-a-ton. Hopefully it's not Akuma either. I'm anxious to see what Vega looks like.

For the Johnny come lately's here are some poor quality vids of Balrog (the boxer) and Sagat from the first loc test.

Wow color swap. What is this the 90's Capcom?

[spoon!]

Plays like Rainbow Mika? so he's gonna have the butt smash? :x

[Teknoman]

The hell? Zombie Bison confirmed then? Either that or some kinda...Shin Bison. In death he realized his true powers...or something like that I bet.

[Hunahan]

Nice! Bring on the videos!

C'moooooon alt costumes!

Clone body most likely. I doubt it would be the real Bison (If the character returns) since his soul was totally destroyed by Akuma in SF2.

[Rhazer Fusion]

I didn't expect all 4 of the bosses to return. This is good news.

[BitchTits]

So they've only added one more female fighter so far. In the beginning, they made it sound like there was gonna be quite a few added.

Edit: I read somewhere else, Rufus might be female?


Vega (M.Bison) coming back was a dead cert. They're going for SF2 3D, so I'd expect him to be the final boss, or at least boss before the final boss.

[Ned Flanders]

How do you mean?

Was this in the videogame storyline, or the movie, or what?

Bison is into cloning (Cammy) and posession (Rose) in the Alpha/Zero series.

I was referring to the bit about his body being destroyed by Akuma. That was news to me..

Sent his ass to hell.

Seriously they're taking such a big shit on the story they might of well of made this a dream match and included characters from all games.

[DECK'ARD]

Edit: I read somewhere else, Rufus might be female?

Oh my Lord.

[bjork]

Vega, awesome. I hope he's extra pretty.

[Tr4nce]

That Rufus looks like the freak so many people were asking for. He reminds me very lightly of Hugo. Looks like a cool character. I want to see Bison and Vega, I'm glad their making their return. I've already seen Balrog and Sagat in action, they look great too if you ask me.

[BitchTits]

Also, there is rumors flying about, saying that a new character named "Rufus" is in the game. Although the person from 2ch (source of the rumor) says "Rufus" is a Chinese-African who is female, nothing has been confirmed about what the character looks like. However, checking the keitai site, I did see the name "Rufus" in katakana for the character rankings.

From MM Cafe.

[sonicspear64]

If M. Bison really is playable, then they should nerf his shit so hard that he's worse than SFA Bison.

[Skilotonn]

Awesome news MarkMan - thanks!

I need to get the dirt on Balrog (the boxer) if he's still as nasty in Super Turbo...

Ryu, Balrog and Guile in the game bring a smile on my face - I haven't seen too much of what the new characters can do, but the classics are already good enough for me...

Can't wait to see what Bison and Vega look like in the new style...

[Yoboman]

This thread is pretty lame so far, where's the media?

So that makes 16 characters so far? Hopefully there are about 25 by the time it's on consoles

[Seiken]

Mr Bison, what?

[Aeris130]

Vega, Balrog, M. Bison ... all playable![/b]

I'm doing shoryukens in my livingroom right now.

[The-Switcher]

[GrayFoxPL]

Tried out Rufus, who is a blonde big fighter, similar to that fat guy in Tekken 6 almost, but with a ponytail. I'm not really sure how he could be Chinese-American, he looks white to me but ::shrug::.

Rufus is a round character with blonde hair, a ponytail, wearing suspenders (?), and his whole model jiggles this way and that hehe.

From Shoryuken forum.

This loc test just started, as in really "just" so don't expect flow of media yet, lol.

Maybe if Rufus is like Bear from Fatal Fury Special it'll be interesting, but I doubt it.

What's wrong with Ono? The new characters designs ranges from decent to lame. Fuerte looked good in art but in screens he seems really shitty.

[Seiken]

I've really no idea why but I found it so funny, there's coke over my table and screen now

[MarkMan]

*does shoryukens under the waterfall*

[Yoboman]

Every game wants their own Bob now. Tekken continues to lead the genre

[UC1]

Sounds good =] Now I'm just wondering if they're going to add Fei Long, Cammy, T Hawk and DJ...

[evilromero]

Super Street Fighter IV my friend.

[Sylar]

I hope it's call bison with the forward press and not lame bison with the energy balls.

[MoxManiac]

Meh..the ignoring of Alpha and III continues...

[~Devil Trigger~]

Ugh, Bison. WHY WONT YOU DIE

that

[Yoboman]

that

Well, beats another Gill

[The-Switcher]

Meh..the ignoring of Alpha and III continues...

Street Fighter IV takes place years after Alpha, and years before III.
