Hoooray for poor quality shaky-cam footage!

What’s the best way to reveal things? Official confirmation? Pffft… How about a random dude just busting out his handy portable camera to take terrible-quality footage of yet-to-be-revealed Street Fighter IV characters at the Taito center in the Akihabara district of Tokyo.

There are tons of guys walking through as this random dude tapes, but you get the vague idea.

According to video uploader RyukyuTwo, as it stands now Balrog is as close to Mike Tyson as we’re ever going to get and still wouldn’t be able to kick if his life depended on it. Our slim and slender Sagat still sports the iconic eye patch and is reportedly the final boss — you’re reward for taking him out is a “Thanks for playing!” screen.

The character models probably look something like this up close

Make sure to watch them quick before Capcom pounces and gets them removed. Either way, these characters can’t be too far from an official announcement.
