Giant Bomb reports that, while looking into the files of the PC benchmark test of Street Fighter IV, some fans have found audio files that mention the classic Street Fighter character T. Hawk and Dee Jay. These characters were under considerations to be added in the past, so it seems likely that they will be coming in the future.

Of course, they could be remnants of an earlier version of the game. I hope not, though. The incredibly stereotypical Jamaican with maracas and the American Indian from Mexico will always have a place in my heart. Despite the fact that I get raped every time I play against Dee Jay in Super Street Fighter II HD Remix.

Update: Turns out that this is rumour and rumour alone. the exact words: “T. Hawk and Dee Jay aren’t coming to PC SFIV.” Perhaps the reference to the PC version specifically is a sign, but I doubt it. I’m now officially disappointed.

Hawk was always my favourite, even his neutral stance is awesome! bwinches on August 6, 2009 10:07 pm There is an online petition for them. There are videos on Youtube as well, asking for their return. RSS feed for comments on this post.
