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.

Found a lettuce lover for ya.
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?"

Heres another screenshot I found.
Get it?
also,lettuce
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.)
Look at that ass btw.
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?
Also welcome to being the new (as an editor) guy.
and have fun with this one.
Does it have to do with John's hair?
I feel so out-dated
Internet memes ftw!! OM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!
whats with lettuce head jokes, srsly i dont get it can someone explain?
Brace yourself, Jonathan. :)
Anyway, looking forward to this. The EGM article was a good read, and the screenshots shown are apparently from an extremely early version of the game. Looks like I'm going to have to invest in an arcade stick.
