For months now I have been cov­er­ing the newest char­ac­ters is SSF4 and I had heard that one more remained to be revealed. It turns out that this new chal­lenger was going to be com­pletely new. Hakan appears to have a very slip­pery and oily appear­ance which aug­ment his attacks and give him a unique fight­ing style which appears to be sim­i­lar to Hugo with a bit Zang­ief and Alex as well . My 1st impres­sion was that he looked kind of hokey but after watch­ing some game­play footage I feel he may prove dan­ger­ous in the right hands just like Rufus.The bat­tle begins anew in April!!!

Enjoy!

For weeks, Nintendo has been hyp­ing up some spe­cial announe­ments which many thought would have to do with the Wii but as it turns out, the hard­ware focus came from the new Nin­tendo DSi XL. The DSi XL, as it name implies, is a larger DSi with a larger sty­lus. As I stated a few episodes back, this DSi has e-reader writ­ten all over it — and I was cor­rect as Nin­tendo will be releas­ing a 100-Classics Book Col­lec­tion. This coleec­tion will include books from authors such as Shake­speare, Dick­ens, Austen, Dumas, Twain and many oth­ers and will only cost $19.99 when it’s released on 6/14. At $189.99 the sys­tem is only $20 bucks more than the smaller DSi, which to some may be a good value given the larger screen. While I feel Nin­tendo is just recy­cling the DSi, I am cer­tain this larger sys­tem will appeal to some casual gamers and may even be the start of a DSi e-book reader. Should Apple be con­cerned with this lit­tle addi­tion? Have a look for your­self and decide.

Between the Famitsu pic­tures and the trailer I posted ear­lier this week it seems that we will be get­ting SSF4 info at a much faster rate. Joys­tiq was for­tu­nate enough to get some game­play footage of the new addi­tions in action. The addi­tion of SF3 char­ac­ters makes sense since SF4 takes place before SF3 (Not my idea folks) and it allows the SF3 cast to make their pres­ence felt and flesh out some sto­ries. Enjoy the footage folks. April can’t come soon enough!

For the last few days, I have been see­ing  screen­caps from Famitsu show­ing the return of these above-titled SF3 char­ac­ters. I felt it would be best to wait for a new trailer, and here it is folks. One thing that I noticed is there is a new voice heard at the end of the trailer, which says ” Looks like it’s time to oil up” - which indi­cates that we may still get another new char­ac­ter (or characters) in the near future. With a month and a half to go, it looks like the new/old char­ac­ters are really going to make Street Fighter 4 bet­ter than it already was.

Let the bat­tle begin!

The closer we get to April the more awe­some footage we get to see. This trailer focuses on what seems to be the inter­twined story between Chun-Li,Juri & Cammy. April can’t come soon enough. Share your com­ments below. Enjoy!!
