Delicious Street Fighter IV screens are delicious
Hamza CTZ Aziz02.12.08 - 12:00 AM 71 comments

You may have already seen these screenshots before, but now you can check them out all over again without having to squint!

Nothing else to say other than some of my observations I noticed from the screens:

  • The guy with the camera in the above picture is waiting to snap a picture of Chun-Li's ass.
  • Also, Chun-Li is still pretty damn hot.
  • Guile's hair is completely flat. He must have an amazing stylist.
  • My jokes f*cking suck.
  • You know, for a guy who is so skinny that you can make out his rib cage, he sure is extremely stretchy.
  • Crimson Viper is probably a tranny.
  • E. Honda, Zangief, and Blanka really fit the new art style.
  • Why penis why.
Psshh: Don't tell anyone, but I'm hearing Street Fighter IV will be at GDC next week. If that's true, then you know we'll be getting our hands on it for sure. Maybe they'll actually have a different level to show off finally.

Actually looking somewhat better. Still, people like Ryu need a lot of work.

I'd hit that? Looking back at what she used to look like, I'm sure that she's going to reveal that she's really Raul Julia in disguise.

Monte at 02/12/2008 00:59

Ok, Ryu still sucks...
Chun Li, aside from the what others have pointed out, seems to be even more muscular than usual (i prefer thinner thigh versions, much less what they normally do, but this seems to push it even more)

Aside from those two, the rest seem to be coming along alright...
Overall, i still prefer the 2D style for street fighter.

Lovin' the new Zangief and Honda.

The only one I really hate is Guile. Is it just me, or are his forearms bigger than his biceps!? I never liked Guile anyways though.

To quote Tycho from Penny Arcade: "games look like shit until they look awesome."

While I certainly don't think SF4 looks like shit, per se, I don't think it's quite... there just yet, either. This is to be somewhat expected, as the game is a work in progress. I expect and hope that this will be rectified before the game is released. We'll see.

Still not passing too much judgement until I've actually played it but would've liked less silly expressions on Ryu's face and maybe a less muscular Chun-Li (might look different in motion though). Zangief is awesome.
manasteel88's Avatar
manasteel88 at 02/12/2008 03:37

I think they are still improving the character models so they could look completely different by final build...as you can tell Crimson Viper looks a tad different...but I believe Capcom dropped the ball in choosing this art direction...though Guile and Dhalsim are spot on!
WhiteSpyderZero's Avatar
WhiteSpyderZero at 02/12/2008 04:57

I'm still not sold on the character models yet, but I'm hopeful Capcom'll make some changes before the final build.

Early version is early. This still has a long way to go people. Plus, as long as she doesn't have an Adam's apple like Poison it's all good.
kevinski's Avatar
kevinski at 02/12/2008 08:21

I seem to recall there being a 2D SF game in which Chun Li's hands look kinda large in her character art. I can't find it at the moment, though. In either case, the best Chun Li art, in my opinion, is SVC Chaos' take on Chun Li.
SourGr8pes's Avatar
SourGr8pes at 02/12/2008 08:39

They take some really unflattering angles of Chun Li -_-

On another note, you gotta admit that picture of Zangief lifting Ryu over his head (possibly grabbing penis) is nothing short of badass. Hey: Balls aren't touching.

Aside from man hands (which, really, they're passable), I think she looks great. That's Chun-Li, no question.

I'm sorry, Chun-Li looks friggin nasty. Not only are her legs just out of control now but she's got Popeye forearms too.

Am I the only one who thinks this game looks more like a Street Fighter knock off than a proper sequel?

This game is look better with every new screenshot. It still doesn't look great, but compared to the first screenshots released, the visuals are a lot tighter and more defined.

Of course, that could be the rose coloured "I <3 Chun Li" glasses, but whatever.

She's got man hands baby. They look way to big for a woman, even if it is the mighty chun li. Picture from Seinfeld below to demonstrate.

I dont know about all you guys, but i think Chun Li's bulge is more of a concern than her hands.

I really hope this doesn't end up as much of a fail as Street Fighter EX was.

sidestepping = DO NOT WANT

Chun li is truly a dissapointment, hopefully they fix that before the release... but I'll prolly get this game regardless of that :-)

Its already confirmed 2d, meaning no sidestepping....sheesh.

And stop complaining about the style. New generation, new well updated style. This is the closest to the original style since back in the SNES days. No more 3d Street Fighter.
