Yay, $120 DLC, after you buy this and SSFIV!

/joke

But seriously, I know some competitive gamers who will have to get this to remain competitive, given the frame tweaks they're probably going to make in this new update. It does kind of suck for them. All signs point to this being retail only given the success of "Super". Didn't they say SSFIV would be "DLC only" as well? Fool me twice...

I dun give a fuck. As a huge fighting game fan, and with Dtoid's SUPAFriends community, I'll be picking this up in whatever form they serve it to me.

Capcom is their own worst enemy.

Hmmm. Will this be arcade only for long? Surely Capcom would not want to miss out on making mo' money by releasing this on retail.

Is oni some version of akuma? Kind of looks like it in the header image.

@Salamagog: Yep, with a whole new bag of tricks and a air-dash.

About 8 months from now, Capcom's going to release

Omega Alpha Speed 7th Attack Quad-core ATM Slap-chop Super Duper Street Fighter 4: Ultimate Power Slam Prestige Edition

and totally bone the customers who bought previous version

ERR VEGA IN DA CLUB GETTIN BUFFS

If this is only retail I'd say there's almost no chance of me getting it (unless it goes on sale for the cheap). I'm even hesitant to get it if it's DLC since I don't care about ANY of the "new" characters.

Arguably, I would need this update to stay competitive, but I've been doing less and less tourny traveling over the years and I never really traveled exclusively for SF (Tekken is my main game).

I was a BIG supporter of the awesome value that was SSFIV, but this update doesn't really sit well with me.

Can't wait for those two extra Shoto fighters, though! /sarcasm

Hurry up Capcom and get 3rd Strike up there on XBLA/PSN! That was the last capcom fighter I played that felt complete, so I would be more than happy to throw down money on that to get some battles in online. Parries > Focus.

I'm game, for a Disc Version.

Super Wallet Rape Fighter 4 amirite? F*ck yeah for 3rd Strike release

I love Street Fighter but they are changing so much for costume packs, I don't even want to know what they'd charge for alternate Ryu, Akuma and twins! I bought vanilla w/ two arcade sticks and then sold vanilla for $5 to get SSFIV. If they release this as a disc I think they're gonna lose a lot of players.

Charging not changing

Too bad nobody actually plays arcade games anymore. Why waste valuable money when I can buy the console version and enjoy it any time I want for free? In the long run you'd probably end up spending more money by putting quids constantly in the machine than by buying the retail copy. Plus, playing with that retarded oversized stick and those spaced-out buttons just doesn't feel right.

WTF? I spent a bunch of tokens on street fighter 4 and held back on getting the game for ps3 because i knew they'd make super street fighter 4. now this?

also, i'm glad they have yun and yang, but why more shotos? why not alex, elena, heck, even rolento and r mika or something.

Capcom saw what DLC could be, decided to beat Namco Bandai at their own wallet-rape game. Kinda pissed myself.

I got sick of Street fight 4 before "super" even came out

Dude, there better be a dlc option, I can understand a disc release kind of, so they can rake in cash from some of the holdouts. However they said there wouldn't be another disc version and all content would be dlc, or so I thought. I for one want the new shotos AND the twins but I will not buy another fucking disc release.

I'd buy a retail disc priced at 20 no more no less.
DLC 15 For all 4 characters

oni actually bares more resemblance to gouken with his moveset and character design. besides, Akuma already 'turned'

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom/Marvel vs. Capcom 3 > Any version of Street Fighter IV as far as I'm concerned.

More like Capcom Vs. Paying My Bills to be honest.

i think companies should do this:

release a arcade vanilla version of a fighting game. location test it around japan. let the pro's playtest it for bugs and exploits, nerf some overpowering characters or just make the low tier characters just as powerful. then after a year of testing. release an upgraded version(more balance, characters and such) wait for 4 months then release it on the consoles.

i know Tekken 6 did this(which was supposedly have the dub Bloodline Rebellion)

but i would see people complaining about the game being far too long for a console release. Tekken 6 and KOF XIII comes to mind.

SNK please release a console version of KOF XIII. i don't care if it's not an upgraded version, just copy the content of blazblue(challenge mode, ability to choose music and stage, great online, practice, replay mode, gallery etc) i'll buy the Limited Edition Day 1 for sure :P

@Rogue257

japan, korea, philippines, indonesia, singapore. taiwan and many more countries says otherwise :P

the arcades are only dead in the US. most asian countries still have them in some way :P

not to mention, the social aspect of the arcades. seeing your opponent lose face to face, interaction among different people will make the fighting game experience even better.

if you do want some arcades in the US. i think california probably have the most of them.

I just hope they put this on a retail disc. I'm one of those that hasn't touched SF4 in any incarnation.

I'm buying it no matter what. I used to go to Chinatown Fair, but since it's closed, I haven't had my Arcade Edition fix lately.

No surprise here. This is what keeps me hopeful we'll see a premium MvsC3 soon.

So, an expansion pack disc like Shivering Isles?

How about bringing SSFIV to the PC like you said you would after the release of the arcade and 3DS versions eh Capcom?

And no I wont buy it for the console, its PC or no buy for me

Why so much crying here. Street fighter is the father of dlc the difference was that they didn't charge so little. Anyone remember super street fighter 2 turbo. Anyways let your money talk.

Yun and Yang were incredible, but Oni Akuma and Evil Ryu were disappointing.

Damn. By the title I was hoping for Korea to say "this game is crap. It's just as much crap as SSFIV and should not see the light of day with home consoles."

Day ruined.

I think we're getting upset unnecessarily early here. I'll bet my inflamed left testicle that Arcade Edition will be released both as DLC for current owners, and as a retail disk for the uninitiated.

And news like this just solidifies my idea to have some patience and wait for SMvC3.

For the amount of money I spent on SF in the last few years, I've gotten an unbelievable amount of playing time and fun with friends. Easily worth it for me, in whatever form.

"Plus, playing with that retarded oversized stick and those spaced-out buttons just doesn't feel right."

Did you just call arcade sticks retarded in a SFIV article comments?

i want to play as evil ryu and oni, but i don't want to lose my TKCS with cammy. :(

@Rogue257
GET THE FUCK OUT. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO PLAY FIGHTERS AFTER THAT ANTI ARCADE STICK COMMENT.

@PrinceHeir: Too much, in fact. Sons of bitches hogging up the Technika arcade machine! There's less SF players here, though, compared to Tekken.

Rogue is an obvious troll.
