Information on Capcom's long-awaited Street Fighter sequel is finally starting to trickle out today.

According to 1UP, the game will retain the series' six-button control scheme set on a 2D fighting plane, while enhancing the experience with 3D polygonal artwork. The report also includes the first screenshot of the game, a stylized shot of Ryu in a pre-Hadouken pose.

Returning characters include Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Dhalsim. Release platforms have yet to be confirmed, though the game will arrive no earlier than 2009 according to Capcom.

I'm not a pro fighting gamer, but isn't there an issue with polygonal representations in that you can't see distinct frames like you can with good old bitmaps? Or does that not matter and you can just keep track of them anyway?

Overall I'm fairly pleased. I'm glad that they are keeping a 2D fighting plane, but would have rather had 2D artwork as well, although the cellshading can look really impressive. I am a bit disappointed that Ryu's face in this screenshot, like the sneak trailer, looks a bit off from their previous art styles. I think both the HD Remix as well as SFIII are great representations of the character. I hope his current look is a WIP, as I'd rather not have to grow to like it. I guess we will all have a much better feel for what it looks like in-game once its a fullscreen two player screenshot.

The angle of the background buildings not being parallel with the screen or Ryu's feet gives me a bad feeling. It's almost as if the camera rotated counter-clockwise a couple degrees around him. Who knows really, could just be posed, the pre-fight intro, whatever, but if there's 3d depth to the playing field I'm kinda scared. *shrug*
