Booty-shaking Japanese Street Fighter IV Web site goes live photo

#Capcom #japan #Street Fighter

The official Japanese Web site for Capcom's Street Fighter IV has gone live, and does the music playing in its background make you want to shake your ass or what?

The site contains screens which we've already seen, as well as character bios for characters we already know about -- Ryu, Ken, and the recently revealed Crimson Viper. According to translations found on the appropriately named fan-blog, The Street Fighter Blog, the Japanese bio text reveals juicy info on the three characters.

Ryu ("Continual Pursuer") has a "life condition" that forces him to fight, apparently; Ken's ("Red Lotus Fighting King") wife is pregnant, so he wants to beat up Ryu; and Crimson Viper ("Ms. Perfect") is tough, smart, and business-like, with a body trained to be a weapon ... kind of like Oprah Winfrey.

I refreshed the bio page 475 times and nothing changed, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before new characters start rearing their oversized noggins.

Cheeburga

Bulky ryu is bulky

F Whipple

This'll be the next smash dojo. The next update will chronicle how two people can play against each other.

Pacman

the site is ugly, and crimson viper is actually uglier than i first thought.

so, all in all, a lot of ugly to go around

rinku?

Jonathan Holmes

So my translation was right!

Awesomes!

Let's home this game starts looking more like something I want. Right now I'm 50/50.

B5512

Ah, found it.

needed my funky sfiv techno fix fast!

AgentMOO

Did it say anything about the Nicaraguan steroids Ryu is on?

Sharpless

Is it my imagination or did Nick completely leave out a link to the site?

Justin Villasenor

He's tricky like that.

Sam Spectre

Ryu drinks teh muscle milk.

Nick Chester

@ Sharpless:

You are imagining things!

(goes and adds link to the site)

It looks like everything good about Street Fighter got beaten the fuck down and threw it all up after some nasty bloody stomach ulcers formed in its gut.

Poor Street Fighter. I remember when you used to look good.

1) I can't stand that generic background music, it feels so damm flat. Maybe a remix from SF vs SM (street fighter vs street musician) would be better.

2) Why are we on the way back machine? Wouldnt this mean IV could be Alpha X? I'm kinda lost in this "contextual" excuse for a storyline.

3) Looks like the new designs of the characters are here to stay. (sigh) I miss SF3's art style.

4) Why are so many praising this? Across the web, its always positive. If you don't like it, be honest with yourselves.

And last, its alot like watching that last movie; you knew it wasn't that great, but you can't turn away.

Orionsaint

Awesome! I can't wait for, street fighter IV turbo. street fighter IV championship edition. street fighter IV hyper. street fighter IV hyper deluxe. super street fighter IV. super street fighter IV hyper deluxe. then in 15 years Street Fighter V

Orionsaint

i like the music. i hope its used in the game. i love techno soundtracks. we need more.

Orionsaint

StriderS

Most offical game sites have nothing worth visiting for. (well except smash lol)

I'm liking that art.

ToxinBlackheart

Yikes, those are some ugly looking character faces.

I mean, this is just sad. Almost at a Mortal Kombat Armageddon level of ugly.

Yegh.

BS3 Owner

I still can't believe it was a true epic secret for soooo long. Seriously wow.

GuitarFearow

I like how the main page says "I'm here to smash you up".

ScottyG

Wow, you weren't kidding about the music. It reminds me of something out of One Must Fall. :p

xdaytime

I am actually excited for this game. I haven't really played much of the other street fighters. Thinking about buying the SF3 port for ps3 though. Hopefully the game plays as good as it looks!

Orionsaint

Yeah remember good soundtracks in Fighting games? One Must Fall, Tekken2 & Soul Blade. Soundtracks in fighting games are supposed to get ya pumped up, excited and make ya feel cool while ya play the game. The DOA & Virtua Fighter series have produced some of the lamest soundtracks for fighting games ever! Unforgetable rock tunes. Junk! Please, someone produce a kick ass soundtrack for a fighting game! Not even Tekken5 could do it, although it was a little above average compared to the utter shit, we've been getting in fighting game soundtracks.

carmatic

mmm... '�Capcom U.S.A., Inc. 2008 All Rigfts Reserved.'

OK I havent been keeping up, but the last time I read about SF4 was they were going to do the game in 2D with super high resolution sprites... and they even posted .gif images of the characters etc... so what happened to that?

carmatic

oops im messing up turbo hd remix with 4 ... yikes i feel hated

RskimB

Ryu is not looking good in that picture, his man breasts are weirdin me out

bluki

it's still ugly.............. :/......... what the fuck? where the hell is the awesome artists of CAPCOM that i used to be admired.??

carmatic

maybe they didnt want the game to look like street fighter EX or something? hence, the new look...

Necros

"Red Lotus Fighting King"

NNNRRRRGGGHHHH. What the hell.

RoMeRtHeGaMe

Wow, I know SF4 still is a ways away. I don't know whether I should feel excited or offended by that webpage, and C Viper makes me want to punch my co-worker in the face, that magazine article posted earlier did her wonders!

Fading Star

Sweet.
