While rumor of Sakura's apperance in the upcoming console version of Street Fighter IV has been floating around since April, you can't beat a nice shiny confirmation in the form of a two page foldout from Famitsu. Of course, it's hardly a surprise to see the shōjo schoolgirl, as each time Capcom announces a beloved character's inclusion in the much-anticipated game, it causes a tremendous reaction from fans.
I don't mean to draw anyone's ire, but does she look a little bit ... manly? I guess not compared to Chun-Li's thighs of meat, but I'm just not the type to want to be crushed by a woman. I'll reserve my final judgment for her man-factor until I see her in action in the game. Either way, panty shots are sure to ensue.
[Thanks, Tron!]

And I know it's beating a dead horse, but I just can't help but want to ask Capcom why this game isn't called SF:EXIV. This just doesn't look like a "real" SF game to me. Maybe if it were in 3D but tried to look 2D, that would be different.
Add to that the fact that the game takes place between SFII and SFIII, and you really have to wonder what it even means to be called SFIV.
Now Dan to complete it and I'll be happy.
Remember when it was just going to be "the original World Warrior cast"?
Well if you played the game, you wouldn't say its SF: EX
It plays nothing like the EX series.
(Wheee double post!)
is ssome kindergarden kid making the models
Some of the best 3D graphics ever moving at a crisp 60 frames per second. Only fighter that's gonna top SFIV is Tatsunoko vs Capcom. That game is HOT!

Especially since Sakura is the character I enjoyed playing the most in the series...
Sakura should look older.
I'm still surprised she doesn't look any older at all. Still awesome though.
I really think SFIV is to SF:EXIII as SFIII is to SFII.
The eventual console ports have always been slated to feature more characters over the arcade counterpart.
As for Sakura, yay! I liked playing as her in MvC2 way back when.
Now..can we get Cammy?
Pleeeeeeeeeease?
Also, can we get the first screenshots of Cammy, Capcom? That'd be swell.
**sigh** Sakura....
"Sho!-Sho!-Sho!-Sho!-Sho!.."
Why are people saying she's ugly or mannish? She looks damn good to me. I loves me some Street Fighter women!
