SF Honorable
December 30, 2007

Wow, I have just seen the screenshots for Street Fighter 4 and I am awe-struck. It looks really great, and the fact that they are sticking with a 2D feel but with some 3D pivoting is awesome.
When I first saw the trailor for it I nearly drooled all over myself. The dirt and shadow effect was awesome, but when you look at the trailor and the screenshots they don't exactly match-up theme wise. While the trailor had a type of Sin City feel to it, the screenshots are really clean (bright colors, old-school SFII Turbo streets in the background) so as always the trailor must be the teaser, but the screenshots themselves by themselves are evidence that the game will be awesome and true to old school fanatics of SF. The fact that the game will be online as well is even more of a candy package, finally a way to show fighter superiority globally!
Line up is already including Chun-Li, Ryu and Ken (the screenshots around the web are including the mighty buds locked in martial arts battle), and Dhalsim. I am hopeful for Cammy and Akuma to make the line-up as well the almightily shocking Blanka! But we'll see I suppose. Either way, I definitely will need to get a PS3 for this monster of a resurrection.
Some of the screenshots are here if anyone has yet to see them:

YouTube has a video of the game actually being played (or at least of replay mode being played) and it looks so cool. This is definitely one of my most anticipated games of 2009. That's probably when it'll actually arrive, judging by comments in the EGM interview. They said it's something like 20% finished at this point, so it could be 2009 before we see it (or it'll at least be late 2008). And yeah, I want Cammy in it (a lot of people do). Withoug Blanka and Zangief, to me it won't feel like Street Fighter. And E. Honda and Guile and Vega... I don't see how they can safely abandon any of the original 12, honestly. They are what makes Street Fighter... Street Fighter.

Ah, yes. It looks badass. I can't wait. I also hope that not too many original characters are abandoned, I also wouldn't mind if some of Alpha's characters made an appearance. *drool*

oh man, I'm hoping for too much.
