New Street Fighter IV screens: The warm trickle of info continues photo

Here are the latest screens of Street Fighter IV, the long awaited sequel to the sequel of possibly the most influential videogame of the 1990s. These screens come courtesy of the French, and unlike the screens previously posted by a certain Brazilian blogger, these probably were not stolen from Electronic Gaming Monthly. How did the Frenchies get these screens? Beats me. But these screens sure do look purty, and in my opinion have more polish than those we've seen thus far.

Regardless of whether this game turns out to be any good, I'm just excited that SFIV is even going to exist. I will again have the excuse to say things like "stick out a low forward poke and try to get him to counter" and "cancel your Hadouken and two-in-one it into a Shin Shoryuken for a 16 hit combo." Nothing fills me with starry-eyed sentimentality more than now near-useless videogame specific vocabulary words. 

Thanks to Buster for the tip.

There was a boy who worked in the produce section of the market. A man came in and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce, but the man replied that he did not need a whole head, but only a half head.

The shop assisant said he would go ask his manager about the matter.

He said to his manager, "There's some asshole out there who wants to buy only a half a head of lettuce." As he was finishing saying this, he turned around to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, "and this gentleman wants to buy the other half." The manager okayed the deal and the man went on his way.

Later the manager called on the boy and said, "You almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of it. You think on your feet and we like that around here. Where are you from son?"

The boy replied, "Minnesota sir."

"Oh really? Why did you leave Minnesota" asked the manager.

The boy replied, "They're all just whores and hockey players up there."

"Really?," replied the manager, "My wife is from Minnesota!!"

The boy replied, "No kidding! What team did she play for?"

I... thought this was a thread about SFIV?

Clearly, I was mistaken. (I was going to comment about the air-blocking, but since it has nothing to do with lettucehead, it'd just go un-noticed, so nevermind.)

Wonderful choice of front image as well. You could almost picture Ken saying 'Ryu! What's happened to your nuts?!?'

Also, how come this particular post doesn’t have word wrap enabled?

I really like the _idea_ of what they are doing, but they need to turn down the fucking HDR and stop making the characters faces look so weird...

Also welcome to being the new (as an editor) guy.

I saw these pics a couple days ago in my new EGM, and thought that there might actually be some hope for this new graphic style. It looks good, if not for the lettucehead.
