Street Fighter IV Officially Announced

Along with the announcement of the new-for-modern-consoles Bionic Commando, Capcom has also officially revealed the existence of Street Fighter IV . Other than the fact that it is in development there aren't a lot of details on the game, with little more than a gameplay-less trailer to view. Gamespot reports: "The trailer depicts longtime rivals Ken and Ryu duking it out once more, this time in a moonlit forest. The two friends and frequent rivals exchange, block, and parry blows for about a minute, busting out such familiar moves as the hurricane kick and dragon punch. With neither fighter gaining the advantage, Ryu charges up a fireball that bathes the screen in white before the Street Fighter IV logo appears with a splash of blood, followed by a warning to 'Prepare yourself.'"

Number 4 at long last

It's taken them 16 years to go from releasing Street Fighter 2 to announcing 4. It's almost like they're taking a cue from the Duke Nukem Forever dev team.

I feel like paying for live arcade is the new pumping quarters. Same quasi-social interactions with people you don't know. Now with less b.o.

I have spoken a few words of Japanese in my life.

I still think it sounds better as Rye You. It's personal opinion, and I know it's not correct and I sound like an ignoramous. But hey, I'm American, we're *expected* to do this. ;)

Wakarimasu?

Or you can just get Super Smash Bros. Brawl this February and play with a character that has so many of the same moves it might as well be named Blankachu.
