Great work mate!
your post made me want to buy this game and I hate beat em ups!
this does look more old school and up my street though

DJ = your new capcom sales representative

TBH, i'm really looking forward to this game. I used to play SF2 in the arcades when it first came out.

But since i'm on my gaming diet, i've been dropping hints to anyone that will listen, to buy it for my birthday. I'd imagine you'd need the associated arcade stick to make it worth your while tho.

I just drooled over my laptop whilst I watched the promo vid, this game is a must buy for me, and I love the way that they have taken the anime(japanese animation style, refer to pokemon) route with their cinematics

If There's Demand, Capcom Could Add More SFIV Characters

Street Fighter IV has a big cast of characters. The Capcom fighting game has old favorites like Ryu and Chun-Li as well as new characters like El Fuerte and Abel.

The home console versions brings characters like Cammy, Sakura, Fei-Long and even "joke" character Dan. The game doesn't get Super Street Fighter II characters T. Hawk and Dee Jay. Or does it?

Regarding T. Hawk or Dee Jay, SFIV producer Yoshinori Ono told Famitsu, "The development team said, "We want them in!" Honestly, we did the modeling up to the pre-texturing. We made the fight settings for T. Hawk in Street Fighter IV... If user's make their voices know, this prep work is something we can revive at anytime."

Capcom's always prepared. It's like a big blue and yellow boy scout. Ono also says he'd like to make Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition. Once again, this depends on the reaction from gamers.

I dunno about this one, if all the hard work is done, why not include them in the game anyway? And if they are released as DLC, they should go free.

I came very close to dropping £150 on a tournament arcade stick today but had a moment of sanity at the last minute when i realised i need to buy three games next week (halo wars , killzone 2 and silent hill). It is a very nice piece of kit though

Yeah, this won't happen though will it? They're well going to bump you 800 points for a new character set 3 months down the line...

I ask myself, 'If T.Hawk was released, would I really want to download him?' I never really got on with the character from what I remember of the original Super SF2. but as I try to convince myself otherwise I have this stupid inner voice that sounds something like Golum, telling me that I needs the extra characters, even if I never play as them...
Maybe its some issue I have about about 'complete-ism' or some rubbish, meh, I dunno..
Would I purchase additiona 'packs' of characters though? hmm.. if there was enough of them perhaps..

But again you raise a good point about how developers seem to be holding back things which they could just as easily have inserted into the released game to begin with..
