Yesterday, Jimithy Starling brought news
of the return of Akuma to
Street Fighter IV. We were treated to some pictures and now we have video of the ultimate badass in action.
Funny how the first footage of Akuma is of him getting his ass kicked. And by Abel, of all characters. Still, it's good to see the demon back. Granted, I'm not surprised that he was finally revealed, as Akuma has become a giant staple in the Street Fighter franchise.
You know who'd I really love to see come back? Fei-Long. How about you?

I'd love to see Ibuki or Oro back, I want to know more about his history.
I'm just fuckin stoked that my local arcade is actually apparently going to be obtaining a permanent Street Fighter 4 arcade cabinet. Sometime within the next month.
YEEEEEEEEEEUHHHHHHH
And for anybody who's from LA, this place is called Family Fun arcade and they're on Balboa and Devonshire.
*SHAMELESS PLUG FOR INDIA*
I can tell you guys both that from first hand experience with the game for several hours, its definately a solid Street Fighter game.
I play a fucking lot of street fighter stuff, and this game easily fits right the fuck in. I'm actually gonna post some footage soon that I had shot from the Ghostface killah, public enemy and Street fighter 4 show that i went to last weekend. =] /shameless plug..
i knew this game was going to be good, but when i heard that track, it sealed the deal that Capcom have a great grasp on what the fuck they're doing and this game is going to be just as good and memorable as SF2
I'm so psyched for this game. I wonder what Akuma's super combo is in this? Just the raging demon or the super fireball?
I'm talking about R. Mika, Oro, Rose, Dudley, T Hawk, Karin, Ibuki, etc.
Storyline be damned, they need to make a definitive SF game and include everyone. Maybe for SFV or something.
*sigh*

post this shit up, i havent read about seth anywhere on dtoid yet at all
i dont like him much. reminds me too much of URIEN from sf3
why dont you post it up? write a slick blog about that sucka =]
agreed, he is reminiscent of urien.
I haven't watched any SF4 videos till now, and I have to say I'm very disappointed. Why is it so slow :|
Ah well I'm a MVC guy anyway :(
Cammy won the poll for wich character fans would like to see in the consolve version, so the chance of her appearing is good at least.
And the cabinet could have been set to Easy or the guy playing it (if it even was a human player) was very good. But more characters = goodness.
They're arent any arcades near me ;_; , so ill have to wait for this to come out on XBox360. Maybe by then they'll have fixed the damn RROD and ill actually buy one. :).
