SHO RYU KEN!

Street Fighter IV is looking very good. Very, very good.



It looks like incremental improvement from a gameplay perspective, but you never know until the play test. And I love modern take on the graphics, opting to make it as anime-like as possible.

Capcom also seem pretty open about the platform as well, even opening the possibility of doing a Wii version or an iPhone (?!?) version.

I love this quote from the game designer:

1UP: Well, that's cool. But what about the controller? Are you worried about people playing the game for the first time using the Xbox 360 controller? Personally, I'm not a fan of it for fighting games -- would you agree?

YO: Ha, well, you're not going to get me to say that in front of Microsoft, but let's just say that I use a joystick when playing Soul Calibur 4 on the 360.


BTW, can you believe that Street Fighter II came out 17 years ago?
