Piracy Scares Capcom Away From Releasing PC Port Of Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition

Looks like we won’t be playing Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition on the PC anytime soon. (Meh: we’re all busy playing Civilization V and F1 2010.) Capcom blames piracy, as always. → Read More

PAX East 2010: The oddest Street Fighter battle you'e ever seen

You’ll find no one here who’s not down for a round or two (or 10) of Street Fighter. No one! In fact, I’m half-convinced that that’s Greg under that helmet. → Read More

$9.99: Street Fighter IV for iPhone hits the App Store

We’ve spent three posts covering Street Fighter IV for the iPhone so far, and this fourth one is intended to inform you Capcom’s latest game has finally arrived in the App Store (I checked the US, German and Japanese store). Capcom itself isn’t listing the app [iTunes link] on their official “Capcom Mobile” site yet, but it is already being offered for $9.99. → Read More

Homemade Street Fighter IV arcade stick looks mighty fine indeed

Yeah, this Street Fighter IV arcade stick looks better than Mad Catz’s efforts. It was created by a certain Mekishiko916, and it can be yours, too, if you’re willing to part with $190. → Read More

For PC: Street Fighter IV in Japan on July 2

July 2, 2009. That’s when Street Fighter IV comes out for the PC in Japan. Of course Capcom hasn’t bothered to announce a release date for North America, because that would be far too useful and welcome. There’s no more to this post—short and sour—so don’t bother clicking “Read More.” God bless America. → Read More

Looky, looky: PC Street Fighter IV has (slightly) different render modes

Good—albeit ludicrous—news, PC gamers. Capcom will announce the release of the PC version of Street Fighter IV on Friday. Yes, you read that right: it’s Wednesday, and Capcom would like you to know that on Friday it will announce a release date. Okay. To top it off, there doesn’t seem to be too much going for the PC version compared to its console brethren → Read More

First Street Fighter IV sales numbers, live streams all over the place

It goes without saying that most of us here at CG are looking forward to Street Fighter IV’s release tomorrow. The game has been available for a few days in Japan, and rough first-day sales numbers have trickled out. Between the two versions, Capcom has sold (remember, this is only for one day) 116,000 copies of the game. There’s reports that stores there are having trouble keeping it on the… → Read More

PS3 Street Fighter IV FightSticks from Mad Catz up for pre-order

The following two joysticks from Mad Catz won’t be shipping until February 20 of 2009, but that shouldn’t stop you from pre-ordering three months in advance. The $70 FightStick should be sufficient for all your Hadouken needs, but what sort of fanboy would you be if you didn’t get the Tournament Edition (pictured above) for $150? via Max Console → Read More

There won't be a Street Fighter IV arcade release in the U.S.

Even though you can find imported stand-up arcade units of Street Fighter IV in the big cities, Capcom will not officially releasing it here. You all know why: arcades in the U.S. have been dead for several years—when was the last time you or someone you know said “let’s go to the arcade”?—so it’s not worth Capcom’s time to release it here. That means it’ll be one… → Read More

February: Street Fighter IV (in Japan, at least)

Street Fighter IV will come out in Japan in February. Capcom said as much earlier today at an event over there—“over there” being Japan and “Capcom” being the fine gents who developed the game. No, we don’t know exactly what date it comes out, nor do we know the North American release date. An animated (“anime”) movie is slated to appear with the first few copies of the… → Read More

Street Fighter IV box art revealed: Chun-Li, Ryu are ready for their close up

Though still several months away, box art for the PS3 version of Street Fighter IV has been released. The US version feature Chun-Li, while the UK version has Ryu. The game is scheduled for release early next year for both the PS3 and Xbox 360. As a lifelong Ken player, I am Al-Sharpton-Outraged that dumb Ryu got a cover and not my guy. Who do I complain to? → Read More

SoCal arcade already has Street Fighter IV

Fact: Ken is better than Ryu Head on over to Super Arcade in Walnut, Calif. if you want to be one of the first in the U.S. to play Street Fighter IV. The SoCal arcade was one of the first to have Tekken 6 in the U.S., too. The address of Super Arcade: 1211 N. Grand Ave. Walnut, CA 91748 Apparently it’s only 50 cents per play. Too bad none of us on staff are even remotely close to SoCal. via… → Read More

Improved Street Fighter IV trailer looks pretty ridonkulous

I still play Street Fighter II Turbo on the SNES primarily with my friends if I play any fighting game at all, so seeing this insane trailer is kind of a shock for me. I love the art style and while I’m sure I would suck pretty bad at it, the gameplay looks pretty good. It’s awfully hard to judge without playing it oneself, but you can usually tell if something truly sucks just from… → Read More

CrunchArcade: Street Fighter IV PS3, 360 versions confirmed; anime cutscene endings

Street Fighter IV news, friends. It seems the console edition—yes, there will be PS3, 360 and PC versions—of the game will have full-length anime cutscenes for each character’s ending. They’ll be animated by “famous” anime studio, and won’t be some man-on-the-street hatchet job. And if you had any doubts about the console versions’ authenticity… → Read More

You will also be able to preorder the game for Xbox 360 and PS3 immediately after the fight from Gamestop.

New Street Fighter character 'El Fuerte' spotted

I’ll be honest; the last time I played Street Fighter was on the SNES, so I’m admittedly out of touch with what’s what as far as world warriors go. That being said, a new Street Fighter IV character’s been spotted in Famitsu magazine. His name is El Fuerte, which is Spanish for “The Fuerte,” if memory serves.

Thunder thighs abound in Street Fighter IV shots

Methinks these scans are slightly distorted, or else the art director for Street Fighter IV has a thing for squat, powerful young ladies (and beasts). Either way, I’m pumped for some SFIV, though my heart will always be with Samurai Shodown II or IV — Ukyo FTW! Anyway, check out the character art and a few screens straight from Famitsu.

Super special Hadouken revealed for Street Fighter IV

Now, I’m not sure this is in the proper sequence or not, but I think it is based on the numbering of each image. So SFIV has some special move to cancel a special move, according to Euro Gamer. Fans should be able to spot the enormous fireball immediately following the initial small burst. Do you see it? → Read More
