A Gamepro Germany writer took a picture with Street Fighter IV's Yoshinori Ono doing some Hadoukens during TGS this this past week. Nothing strange about that at all. But look in the background. See the TV? That's T. Hawk! Also, notice the image on the bottom there? There's a giant S behind the Street Fighter IV logo, possibly standing for "Super." As in Super Street Fighter IV.
If you haven't been keeping up, there's been a bunch of talk about a supposed new Street Fighter IV expansion/sequel on the way and this just adds more fuel to that fire. Not only that, but as EventHubs pointed out, Capcom-Unity's Twitter mentioned that we might be hearing some new info in relation to Street Fighter IV this Monday.
Hopefully Capcom comes clean on what this is all about soon. Until then, is anyone really that excited for T. Hawk?

Fan service FTW!!!
Also for the monies!!!
not much of a T.Hawk fan..but i'm happy for him and Dee Jay who were supposed to be there in the first place. I'll pick up Makoto and/or Dudley for sure (making me replace boxer for english boxer). Hell I may even pick up Cody as I loved him in Alpha 3.
Though who would I want more? KARIN
Fuck Dee Jay and T. Hawk. Fuck them forever. And I normally love Street Fighter.
I was going to say if they expect us to pay full price for what's basically an expansion, but.... Yeah... We totally bought these "expansions" back in the day and we demanded more of them...
Does that make me jaded or were we fools back then?
I was thinking the same thing. seems to obvious/easy. But I thought Capcom was BSing with the announcement since the big leak on SRK happened. Hence the constant pushbacks.
and i'm struggling to wonder who T.Hawk is fighting. I refuse to believe it's a old character. My thoughts were Dudley...or one of the new characters.
You gotta admit, they really are getting into the spirit of Street Fighter. Revamp after Revamp!
I think it's one of the new characters and the same one that is at the top of the poster. We can also see the waist of another unfamiliar character at the far left of the poster. Im assuming these are the two original characters?
pretty sure the one on the left is T.Hawk.(could be wrong but i'm going off by the belt and what looks like the vest.) no idea on the other.
@Zero_armada
I though you could see ElF's boots over his pants? on both his regular and cooking chef outfit?
@Shin Oni: Hmm... I'll buy that. It looks like they may have tried to update his costume... DENIM AND FRINGE 4 LYYYYYYYFE
Also, that's definitely T. Hawk. Look at the icon above him. Notice the headband and feathers.
Also that german journalist in the pic looks a LOT like celebrity simpleton and all round vacuous nice-guy Peter Andre. Only with a beard.
Let me guess what it will be
Super Ultra Classic Shreet Fighter Double Ex beta 4:Champion edition
Bring back R. Mika!
Second, I can't believe so many people are bitching about this. This is what street fighter does. Every iteration has done this. Just a heads up, there will probably be at least one more update after this one.
I don't think they could get away with re-using stages in a disk based game so am thinking this will be a patch or it's still early in development. Yay, optimism :-D
@TheToiletDuck: Your guess is as good as mine. There stances are different though... If it was T-Hawk standing up straight during his idle animation I think we would see more of him but he could also just be clipping through the other T-Hawk model.
Hopefully there's more new things than just Thank and DeeJay
Oh and Tactix's Pink Hawk aint got shit on my green Honda. :P
Also, Dudley.
Also pink T.Hawk
Street Fighter Flash Collab reference. I love you.
I expected actual info from E3, got disappointed.
I expected actual info from Super Battle Opera, got disappointed.
I expected actual info from PAX, got disappointed.
I expected actual into from TGS, got disappointed.
And now, after all of the trade shows are done and over with, do we get another hint of information coming...which will probably go like "Our big reveal is that Seth Killian had blueberry pancakes for breakfast this morning! Great news, Street Fighter fans!"
AaAaAAAArrrrRuUGH. Enough with the sack-tease already. Either come out and do it and say what you need to say or fucking don't and go home. The endless string of informational promises is pissing me off.
If you bring back Cody, you must also bring back Guy. Just saying.
