Chun-Li, Guile and the rest of the original eight are back in Street Fighter IV photo

Capcom has announced that they will be revealing some of the new characters to be in Street Fighter IV this Friday. They could be revealing totally new characters, or they're just revealing the characters that have just been revealed in the latest Famitsu. Chun-Li, Zangief, Blanka, Guile, Dhalsim, and E. Honda are all set to return and complete the original eight World Warrior fighters. The scans show the veterans performing some of their signature moves and looking surprisingly good.

The new look Street Fighter IV is going with really suits some of the returning characters. Zangief and Blanka look really great and Chun-Li didn't turn out as horrible as I was fearing. Odd that they continue to only show the one level with all these previews though.

Now that the original eight are out of the way, I have to wonder which, if any, of the Super Street Fighter characters will be making it in IV (Cammy!). Not to mention the totally new characters like Crimson Viper that will be joining. Who are you hoping makes it back?

I'd say I can't wait, but to be more accurate I can't wait until Ultra Street Fighter IV Nitro Edition: Seventh Teabagging (you know, when they add twelve more characters and actually fix all of the niggling control issues)

Does this Ryu look like Guts to anybody else? He just doesn't seem like Ryu to me...

Chun-Li's thighs = Zangief's thighs

Ew.

Also, why does Zangief's expression look like someone surprised him in the shower?

I feel much better about this game, now. I still wish they could've gone with the Okami-esque art style from the trailer, in-game. The in-game art looks a little bland. I'll wait to pass judgment, though.

MechaMonkey, I think it was because I just surprised him in the shower. I tend to do that. He loves it, that big goof.

I'm more puzzled by Guile's "alluring" pose... he's stretching like Lara Croft does every coupla minutes. Sultry he ain't.

R. Crumb would have to rub one out to that Chun-Li.

I could do with less TRUNK-ness... but all is well.

Can't wait to see HD video of these characters!!!

soul3150: I totally forgot that Shen Long is more than likely going to be in the game thanks to EGM.

Awesome, but I’m with Jonathan Holmes...this game doesn’t look different enough from SF II yet. It doesn’t help that they’re only showing off that single stage...

This is coming together very well, and if I was able to pre-order it, I would've!

I'm not against the original 8 back in the game, but I really hope they add way more original characters. My love of SF is deep, but playing as the same charcters for 10+ years is starting to wear thin.

Dammit Alec > Zangief...
