New Street Fighter 4 Media Emerges

14
Capcom has officially released the first five screenshots of the long-awaited Street Fighter IV.

Though a number of SF4 details have been made public, the company has yet to announce exactly when the fighter will arrive and which systems it will appear on.

Chris Faylor was previously a games journalist creating content at Shacknews.

    Well I'm glad that character design basics like making the main & background characters look like they belong in the same universe was followed.

    Oh wait, they background chars look like bad student work that isn't even the same style as ryu or ken.

    Capcom can't do 3d fighters, and this whole "2d gameplay" is just marketing BS since all their 3d fighters had "2d gameplay" and they all blew chunks.

    Stick to what you know, I say.

      Yeah those extra characters look like ass. :( Really throws the whole art style out the window.

      The background characters in original SF2 weren't something to write home about either. :[

        And by all, you mean except Project Justice and Power Stone 2. They hardly "blew chunks." :[

        They didn't break the style though. They blended in just fine. These guys are just terrible looking.

        I mean they are all cartoony looking, but then theres a standard 3d model in the back there? He's not even cell shaded.....

          dude, NOTHING on the game is complete. Ryu and Ken still have a lot of work to do, and every other model is either not even assembled or still in a placeholder phase. The backgrounds aren't even close to being done...
