First look: New Street Fighter IV character Crimson Viper photo

The new fighting game character news just keeps rolling in today! Courtesy of the latest issue of Famitsu, we get out first look at the newest addition to the Street Fighter world.

I continue to approach all Street Fighter IV news with cautious optimism. The game is being produced by a man who worked heavily on the god awful Capcom Fighting Evolution, and visually there are many niggling complaints to be made about the game thus far, but at least it's a new Street Fighter game. That's something I wasn't sure I'd ever see. Now Street Fighter IV officially has given us something we never had in the Street Fighter world before -- a red haired, brown-skinned woman with a flair for half-opened, button-up shirts and hair styles popular with Japanese biker gangs in the 1950s.

My feelings on this are understandably mixed. I'm just hoping that unlike Poison for Final Fight, Crimson Viper will never give me cause to think "WHY PENIS WHY?"

Yeah, at this point I'm really feeling like SF IV should be renamed SF INO (in name only).

But I am ready to be proven wrong.

Wow! You guys are all taking this news WAY too hard!

This is ONLY a character design...something that they are trying that is new...that isn't EXACTLY what many expected.

The game right now looks like they are spending buku amounts of time to make it awesome, and we've ALL seen the videos for it and the new fighting system for it. Right now, I've seen many singing their praises for this game. Now a character design comes out that doesn't look perfect to us and we're going to shit all over this game just because of this?

I understand that this isn't the most perfect design they could've came up with for a new character, but c'mon, stop busting them up over this! She may actually be an awesome character.
