Rumor: Oni Akuma and Evil Ryu in Super Street Fighter 4 photo

An alleged list of new achievements for Super Street Fighter 4 containing stuff from Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition has hit the internet. The list includes images of Yun and Yang (two characters that have yet to be announced for the arcade version), Evil Ryu (all shirtless and red eyed) and a glowing purple guy that looks a lot like Akuma. Internet people have already taken to calling this purple man "Oni Akuma" (Ogre Demon in Japanese), because one of the achievements correlated to his image is called "Birth of the Oni". I like the name, so I'm rolling with it, though I expect some Street Figther fans will be irritated with me for that.

Speaking of which, a lot of folks are already calling this out as "definitely fake", just like they did with the Street Fighter Vs. Tekken rumor, and multiple other Street Fighter related rumors that turned out to be real. There seems to be something about Street Fighter that makes a lot of its fans feel entitled to take on the role of honorary myth-buster. Why can't they just learn to revel in the joy of a good rumor like the rest of us? Street Fighter 4 producer Yoshinori Ono sure can.

SSF4 achievements show Yun & Yang, possibly Evil Ryu [EventHubs]

It's because the line between fact and fiction was blurred after Akuma came out of the Sheng Long rumour and even more so when Gouken became playable. I hope these are based on facts, but it's a cool rumour anyway.

The leaked achievements are questionable because 5 of them all say the SAME thing. (Beat Arcade on Normal or higher without losing continues)

I don't doubt the new content will come console. But I still question what that new content is beyond Yun and Yang. I think many of fans made it clear they wanted other chars besides more shotos. Evil Ryu & Shin Akuma are the LAST two chars Capcom should be thinking of adding...

@ Cla- Creating multiple achievements screens with the same text at the pre-submission phase is commonplace in game development. If someone went through the trouble of making these images, I doubt they'd screw up on something as obvious as the correlating text.

The only reason I'd call it fake is because Evil Ryu's head doesn't match his body properly but that could just be an artistic error.

The lack of love for SF3: Third Strike is disheartening.

I certainly hope that "Evil Ryu" and all of those pathetic roster-padding clones are dead for good...I mean, seriously? Why not just bring back Cyber-Akuma and be done with it if Capcom is indeed headed back down that path...

Why are all the achievements the same thing? Beat it on Medium without continuing. I already did that in SSF4.

Yo Capcom, how bout them non-shotos? If SSF4 arcade edition is indeed coming to consoles only thing I'm waiting for is the balance patch, couldn't care less about shoto-clones or yun&yang.

maybe my japanese isn't as good as I think it is with all my years of anime/manga reading.. but i coulda sworn that 'Akuma' is actually the word for 'Nightmare'... and his name overseas is actually Gouki, so it should be 'oni gouki' hence, his brother's name being 'gouken.'

but, either way... If we're askin for new characters, I too agree there's enough Shoto fighters already.. if there's gonna be some 'clone's', gimmie Remmy.
