Proof of Super Street Fighter IV was first made public accidentally when the German version of GamePro magazine took pictures of Yoshinori Ono in which a game, supposedly Street Fighter IV, is seen featuring T. Hawk and a new logo with a big metallic S behind the Street Fighter logo, much like the Super Street Fighter II logo.[3]
Capcom officially hinted at the game when they opened a teaser site in their official Japanese website.[4] An official announcement was made on September 28, 2009, along with a spring 2010 release date, for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Having been deemed as too large an update to be deployed as DLC, the game was made into a stand-alone title, but is intended to carry a price tag lower than that of a full retail game. Capcom also hinted at bonus features for people who already own Street Fighter IV.[5]
The game is planned to feature ten additional characters, as well as tweaks and changes to the existing ones, such as new ultra combos.[6] Among the added characters are T. Hawk and Dee Jay[5], who were initially intended to be in the original Street Fighter IV but later dropped.[7] Also revealed was Juri, an all new character, along with Adon from the original Street Fighter, and Cody and Guy from Final Fight, characters who were last featured in Final Fight: Streetwise. Dudley, Ibuki and Makoto from the Street Fighter III series were revealed as playable characters via the February 16th issue of Famitsu. The final character is Hakan, a new fighter who is a Turkish oil wrestler.
The game will feature a few additional online modes, including Team Battle with up to 8 players, Replay Channel, which allows players to view and save replays from around the world, and Endless Battle, in which the winner plays against a rotating group of players. The game also sees the return of the Car and Barrel bonus stages from the Street Fighter II series. A download-able Tournament mode will also be featured.[8][9]
Each character now has an additional alternate costume (plus the extra ones from the first game, totaling 3 costumes for characters in Street Fighter IV and 2 for the newly introduced), new rival battles and 2 Ultra Combos (with the exception of Gen who has 4 Ultras, 2 for each of his styles). The Ultra Combos are selectable, similar to the Super Arts of Street Fighter III.
Super Street Fighter IV adds ten characters to the original character roster from Street Fighter IV[10], featuring eight characters from previous Street Fighter games, as well as two fighters whom are brand new to the series. The first, Juri, is a young South Korean woman who works for Seth's organization, S.I.N., and uses Taekwondo as her fighting style along with an energy-boosting device implanted inside her left eye called the "Feng Shui Engine".[11] The second, Hakan, is a fighter from Turkey who fights by covering himself in oil, allowing him to slide around and use slippery grapples on his opponents.[12] Other characters include T. Hawk and Dee Jay from Super Street Fighter II, Adon from the original Street Fighter, Cody and Guy from Final Fight (Adon, Cody, and Guy being based particularly on their Street Fighter Alpha incarnations)[13] and Dudley, Makoto and Ibuki from Street Fighter III.[14]
