Oh, Street Fighter IV my luv, you look so absolutely beautiful…
It’s been ages since the last proper Street Fighter sequel, but it seems the wait has been worth it, for Street Fighter IV looks utterly gorgeous in its cel-shaded 3D glory. So, uhh, look at Zangief, gawk at Chun Li, laugh at Dhalsim, smile at Honda, thoroughly examine Blanka, be all impressed by the spankin’ shiny new Guile and generally enjoy those lovely SF4 screenshots we’ve posted all over the place (for your eyes only). Just don’t ask what consoles this will be released for. All I know is you should be playing it at the arcades soon, provided of course you live in Japan or any arcades in your vicinity have survived, and I would dare guessing the game should also be appearing on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Eventually, that is. Actually, a Wii version wouldn’t come as much of a surprise either. Oh, and the game will play in the traditional 2D way. Joy!
Still, for now, all you can do is be patient, lament the loss of the arcades and watch this space for further info. Intently. Till your head starts spinning. Better though, stop watching intently and start working on those fighting skills again. Intently. Playing anything (or everything) from Hyper Street Fighter II - Anniversary Edition to the complete Street Fighter Alpha Anthology on the PS2 should probably do the job. Lacking a PS2, well, you shouldn’t have trouble tracking down a SF copy for your Xbox 360, Dreamcast, PC, C64, SNES, whatever. You can even play Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX on the PSP. Anyway, here are the rest of the screenshots:

February 12th, 2008 at 11:11 pmI love the street fighter series and cant wait for this to come out. Bring it on. Wonder what it will be like if it is on the wii?
February 13th, 2008 at 2:19 amOK, mind your language boys. Last warning. And Jack. Uhm, relax man.
February 13th, 2008 at 3:38 amProtella, I think that the Wii could actually handle this one, even though it’s way underpowered compared to the taito Type X2 board.
February 14th, 2008 at 7:58 amHaha, words are dangerous fucking things aren’t they. Thinking about them sure is dangerous. Hell, thinking in general is dangerous, better restrict some words so some asshole doesn’t think the wrong thing, eh?
February 14th, 2008 at 11:11 pmWell, stranger my boy, words are dangerous. Pointlessly swearing isn’t. It’s just pathetic really, and considering I asked nicely enough and can easily moderate anything, I don’t see the point of going on your silly rampage. Still, it really is up to you. Well, up to me too, to be frank.
