In the process of searching for an image for our previous report covering the announcement of Sagat and Balrog in SFIV, I stumbled upon the portfolio of one Chris Turcotte. Inside were several images depicting various stages of a detailed Sagat 3D model.

While the senior artist’s resume states that he is currently employed by EA, it is also possible that his resume is outdated and/or he was hired to do some modeling on a contract basis. Of course there is also the possibility that this was just a pet project by the designer and that this model has nothing to do with the upcoming SFIV game.

The model is below, and though we can not confirm it to be from SFIV at this point in time, it is very cool and Chris is a very talented 3D artist who has worked on Fight Night, Fifa Street, and NBA Live. Enjoy.

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.
