With this new revelation, the topic title changes again.

Quote:
 
On Capcom Japan's website they stated the upcoming balance changes for Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition will add a few extras words onto the already long title, making it "Version 2012."
Besides making it more of a chore for blog authors to type out, this update will add several balance changes to the game, and it's due out in the fall or winter time. You can check out previously reported details here.
Ono also mentioned that a location test for the updated version will be held in major Japanese cities towards the end of summer. Yoshinori also reiterated on Twitter that this is just a retune and won't be a new game.


Dear Christ, Capcom. You couldn't even wait SIX MONTHS for this one.

EDIT
Ok, so it's been revealed that this is a free update.
It's still another goddamned title change.

And I wouldn't put it past them to have another full release for the 25th Anniversary of Street Fighter.

The worst part is, so far all the new stuff was just taken wholesale from SF x Tekken.

I'm not surprised by that, considering they used the same art style, so not hard to port them over.

Most people I know are hoping that the fifth character is Haggar.

They said it's supposed to be an entirely new character.

All they said was it was someone who hadn't been in Street Fighter yet, IIRC.

Given the rest of the characters are just being ripped as well I think it will probably be Haggar.

Still got my copy of SSFIV, but unless the mystery guy IS Haggar (or someone equally awesome) I'm not all that interested in getting it.

I didn't bother buying anything past the original SF4, so maybe I'll get this. Maybe.

Tentatively hyped, mostly due to the additions of Rolento and Poison.

If the game added in Q I'd be ecstatic.

Current rumors, which seem pretty strong due to Capcom apparently trying to shut them down.

-Red Focus, which costs 2 bars and absorbs any hits that don't break armor. Lv2 Red Focus is unblockable.
-No more choosing between Ultras; they'll both be usable.

Still nothing on the 5th character tho.

The 5th character's the only thing I'm waiting for.

Derp

And out of 13, they had to use the most boring looking one of the bunch that could have easily just be Cammy in a different outfit.

Wow... so that was their super big secret reveal? What a lame character to have as a surprise. With how long it took them to announce it I was expecting something better.

The reveal was so bad. Audience was dead and even the announcers couldn't sell the surprise. And to think there was an entire tournament before the reveal.

Capcom so lazy.

Capcom doesn't care at this point.

Ultra is going to make them so much money they'll be able to give the fans hundred dollar bills to wipe their tears and still not hurt them financially.

That's probably the worst part about it all. I mean, despite the fact that Rolento, Elena, Hugo and Poison are likely just reused assets from SFxT and December's just a reskinned Cammy, people are going to pay money for this anyway.

Not trying to be smartass or even contrarian here, but honestly, who was everyone expecting it to be? The criteria they gave us (female, part of SF's canon, hasn't been playable yet) didn't leave a lot of wiggle room. And at least Decapre makes sense, unlike the two most common suggestions I heard (Ken's wife Eliza and Roll from Mega Man).

I feel like the R Mika thing is in bad taste, kinda like the "Nobody wants a third with ol Megaman" bit.

Edit: Though I did find the Megaman bit funny honestly. Here it's like "Yeah we could do something original but no"

Someone that isn't a reskin of someone else.

Admittedly, the more I think about it, the more I feel like it's somewhat justified because no one wants to spend $15 for a balance fix, but it just reeks "lazy" when they resort to reskinning an existing character.

And the fact that she's a doll means they had 11 choices for the 5th, some of which looked more interesting and a whole different person.

People act like they're surprised that this is how Capcom is acting. Let's face it, the three Street Fighter Alpha games was Capcom doing this and the three Street Fighter 3 games were the same thing as well. And you know what? Scratch that: just look at how many iterations of Street Fighter 2 there are. This has always been Capcom's modus operandi.

If fans of Street Fighter wanted to send Capcom a message, they need to say what the Hitman and Splinter Cell fanbases did to IO/Square and Ubisoft: "Heck no, we are not going to buy your game. Tell us when you make one we want to play." But Capcom fans are perfect examples of abused spouses and will buy this game any other Street Fighter 4 iteration for all eternity as long as Capcom makes them.

It's a shame too, because SF4 was amazing, and did well to revitalize the fighting game fanbase. The last one I played was SSF4, but I didn't like it as much thanks to the massive nerfs to everyone I played (and the 5 trillion online achievements).
