We recently got a good look at the North American box art for Super Street Fighter IV, and -- how can I put this kindly? -- many of us did not find it to be particularly good. More often than not, Europe gets the cool-looking covers, so you'd figure for a game like this, that general rule would apply.
Uh, not so much. I would say that I equally dislike the cover art for Europe and the United States, but Ken's terrifying expression is enough to push me into thinking us Americans have it better, just this once.
Of course, there's also the Japanese box art, which is amazing by comparison. I can only hope that twenty years from now, we'll be having a good laugh over this stuff similar to how we can now ... appreciate the art for the 8-bit Mega Man games.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Next time Capcom, stick with the 2d production art. They do the game much better justice than tired 3d stills.
I love the game, but it's damn ugly.
Amen.
@zero588
I actually judge the cover a lot besides the game.
Also, you could just say I suck at SF4 so fuck this game instead of always hating on every and any piece of info that comes out about SSF4.
This being said, I'll buy a Collector's Edition if it has better box art.
EU version is just too...3D.
I really liked the original chun-li box art for SFIV that was scrapped. i ended up getting the collector's edition with the front shot of ryu which I REALLY like. these are meh.
I described that from memory. How accurate was I?
Fuck the American boxart
Fuck you Capcom for being lazy
Pissed me off with jealousy. I'm done with topic.
As for my Adon comment, I just don't care for the character but don't mind him on the box
