New Characters Confirmed for Street Fighter IV

In an interview with several 1UP editors, producer Yoshinori Ono confirmed that Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li (and her thighs), are all going to be in Street Fighter IV along with a batch of new (mostly female) faces.

Ono also stated that Street Fighter II is the benchmark that will be strived for in the next-generation sequel’s gameplay, balance, speed and characters.

He used the word “preserve” throughout the interview, but we hope that there are plenty of surprises when Street Fighter IV is finally released and not before it’s ready.
