Thanks to a heads up by the folks at Capcom, you have been saved from my amatuerish screenshots and Cloverfield-ish video of Street Fighter IV from GDC 08. Besides, I don’t think I was allowed to shoot and film there anyway. Oops. You’ve been saved by these professionally made screenshots and a new English language AOU trailer.

These screens are the prettiest we’ve seen yet, and I really dig the new trailer. But, I’m with everyone else in saying that these images don’t compare to see SFIV in motion. The first thing that hit me during gameplay is that these characters are more agile and less bulky than they appear in pictures. Of course, I had to witness most of this with my eyes and not my hands; I only got to play four rounds, and I was quickly shut out of the journalist’s tournament. Damn you, Jared Rea from GameTap!

Any self respecting fighting game fan should get some kind of pants tingle from the above 3-minute trailer. Just seeing it makes me want to play it again. My only complaint is that I’d like to see more stages.

Yes, C. Viper is as badass as she looks. Zangief’s victory pose and facial close up are hilarious. Abel looks…able. Chun Li, let me get at you, girl. And yes, Blanka’s eyes still bug out when he gets beat down. Capcom, please hurry up with my personal arcade cabinet!
