"SSF4 roster was decided a long time ago" Also a video walkthough of SSF4 so far
RAB \| 9:39 PM on 11.17.2009	31 comments

According to EventHubs.com, Capcom's Christian Svensson has stated that the final roster for SSF4 has long been decided.

"Is there any chance of a character poll for Super Street Fighter 4?

Sven: To set expectations the game is rather far along and one of the FIRST things we did was sort out what the roster would be. While we're happy to accept additional feedback for future titles (if they should exist at some point in the future), the ship has pretty much sailed for Super Street Fighter 4."

This goes in hand with the recent statements made by Seth Killian that Capcom will not be having a Poll to decide on characters to be added, like they did for Vanilla SF4. Seth has also said that we should be hearing an announcement on more new characters before Christmas.
Check out the whole article here.
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2009/nov/17/sven-final-roster-ssf4-was-decided-early/

From that, it looks to me as though the original rumored characters may actually be true.
�From Street Fighter 2: Dee Jay and T. Hawk.
�From Street Fighter 3: Dudley, Ibuki and Makoto.
�From Street Fighter Alpha: Adon, Cody and Guy.
�Plus two completely new characters. (Juri and Hakan)

Looks like no Birdie :(

Also, check out this video walkthough with Seth Killian, posted on G4TV.com today. Alot of Deejays moves seem SUPER safe, particularly his dreadkicks and even a blocked ultra. Apparently his MAX OUT comes out even faster than Guiles Sonic Boom. He looks like he's gonna be really really beastly. He's pretty strong and can easily combo his ultra if he lands a jab on you.
c.lpx2> c.mp> ex dreadkicks> ultra.
nasty.

Street Fighter fan music is the best. I wish I had more to say about this... But there isn't really much more to say. I really can't get over how hilarious that picture of Justin Wong is.

Let it be known that there is NO ESCAPE from The Red Devil.

Wherever you go.

Whatever you do.

He'll get'cha.

User Reno on SRK posted the link to this new Street Fighter trailer. When it shows up it'll just be a counter from 1 to 100. It's the loading bar, so just let it finish and let your soul cry.

9/29/2009 BITCHES. (JST, so like, the 28th if you live in Cali.. AKA FUCKING TOMORROW)

Here are some stills that user R_Panda posted from the teaser..

RT @Capcom_Unity: SFIV PC 50% off (that's $19.99) on Steam, this weekend only
RAB \| 1:48 PM on 09.04.2009	9 comments

According to the completely reliable news source Twitter, Capcom Unity has stated that this weekend only, Street Fighter 4 on PC is 50% OFF on Steam.$19.99 That's a motherfucking STEAL if I've ever seen one.

Let it be known that the aside from the PC version of SF4 being by far the closest version to arcade perfect with regards to frame rate, it also has a fucking incredible mod scene with sound mods, skin mods, move swaps, and shit that has yet to even be discovered. And I know I'm not alone in saying that I'd fucking love to be able to alter SF4's garbage soundtrack and replace it with classic tunes, or even some of the tunes from HD remix.

(Posting it again for anybody who didn't see it the first time, and because it's just fucking awesome.)

So yeah, GO FUCKING BUY THIS NOW if you haven't already. And shit, even if you already own SF4, you OWE it to yourself to get this version. Finally you have the option to make it look, sound and smell like it always should have.
Also naked Chun and Cammy.

Going out to a few bars tonight.

It's gonna be a good day, boys.

NOT SO BREAKING NEWS!
I took a picture with Daigo at Evo this year. I'm the chubby one on the left. I was trying to flex but I look like I'm pooping.

RETURN TO FREAKIN SENDER
Some really awesome progress has been made in the SF4 PC modding community. It went from naked Chun Li, to Zangief with Cammys moves, then we started seeing a lot of really great skin mods like Vega as Strider and a few classic throwbacks like Balrog as Dudley and Abel as Alex.

People have been getting quite creative. This one in particular is almost fap worthy. Rose with glasses and a pony tail? YES PLEASE.

There's some really crazy shit out there if you haven't already looked. Awesome. Crazy awesome.

about me

Hi, I'm Rab.
I like games.
Ever since I could remember, I've always wanted to have a career that somehow allowed me continue to be involved with them. For that reason and pretty much that reason alone, I'm going to college and learning about the different components and things that go into the videogame industry. I like to analyze videogames and see what makes them tick. If a game sucks, I want to understand exactly what makes it suck so hard. To this day I'm still not sure exactly how I want things to pan out, and I don't exactly know what it is I want to do within the game industry, but I know it's going to kick ass.

I like the consider myself a pretty well rounded person when it comes to taste in videogames. As long as the game has well thought out mechanics and fun gameplay, I'll atleast give it a shot.
