Dee Jay and T. Hawk coming to Street Fighter IV?

by Sam Naylor on June 16, 2009

T(for Tony?) Hawk

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.

If you haven’t picked up the console version of Street Fighter IV in hopes that the PC version will roll around soon, or have been worried that the PC version of the game won’t run on your computer, then you’re in luck. Capcom just announced the specs for Street Fighter IV, and it doesn’t look like they’ll be breaking any of your computers anytime soon.

The specs are pretty average, which could be an indication of lots of hard work, or bouts of laziness depending on how you look at it. No matter how strong your PC is, you’re still not beating Seth, but if you want to know exactly how many hi-def HADOOOOOUKENS your PC can handle, hit the jump for the full specs, courtesy of Capcom USA.

Street Fighter IV’s Sexy Collector’s Edition Revealed

by Demi Adejuyigbe on December 20, 2008

Now we all know that Capcom never dissapoints, but when they go all out- they go all out. The newest news from Capcom HQ is the Street Fighter IV Collector’s Edition, complete with pricing, dating, and sexy new box art, which I prefer to the art from before. Ugh.

The only thing that disappoints me is their choices of exclusive figurines. I just don’t see many Xbox 360 owners wanting newcomer Crimson Viper over Ryu, which PS3 owners will receive. Hit the jump for all of the Street Fighter IV: Collector’s Edition details and box art, and tell us in the comments if you think this will be worth your money come February 17th. Read more…

Screens of Ryu and Ken’s Sensei in Street Fighter 4

by Sean Mitchuson on November 24, 2008

Street Fighter 4, from what I understand, is not getting a legal arcade release in America (correct me if I’m wrong), but never fear!  The US is getting the console version on both PS3 and Xbox 360, and a character that you may or may not have known was coming was Ryu and Ken’s teacher, referred to as Gouken.

It’s Official: No Street Fighter IV For US Arcades

by Keane Ng on November 16, 2008

Being a resident of a major American metropolis with you know, some people who are into arcades, I’ve gotten a chance to play Street Fighter IV – dare I say it – the way it was meant to be played. On a big ol’ cabinet with quarters lined up along the bottom of the screen, huddled up next to a crowd of fellow fighting game fanboys, getting my ass kicked by some quiet dude beasting with Blanka.

I should count myself lucky, and I do. Street Fighter IV won’t be coming to US arcades in any official capacity. No surprise to anyone, but Capcom just set it in stone. Read more…

Capcom “Working On” Lag In Street Fighter IV

by Keane Ng on August 28, 2008

Street Fighter IV’s certainly a contender for fighting game of the year, but it won’t be if it’s online play is hampered by the same kind of lag that the Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix beta has been. That game’s not pushing netcode nearly as hard as SFIV will, presumably, and it’s been decidedly problem-ridden. But, according to SFIV executive producer Yoshinori Ono, Capcom is “working on it”.

In order to prevent the lag we’re thinking about trying to balance it up at user interface level and input timing by using joystick or something like that. We still haven’t got a complete plan as yet. We’re still working on it. That’s all we can say at the moment.

Getting fighting games working online seems to be a precise game of deterrence; there’s no way to get rid of lag, just ways of fighting it off, through backdoor shenanigans and programming tricks. Hopefully Capcom can get the job done, because I’m itching to put the hurt on foes worldwide.

by Chad Lakkis on July 4, 2008

The tenth floor of the St. Regis hotel offered up a Street Fighter IV journalist-only tournament, complete with an open bar and enough pizza to satisfy the great E-Honda.

Upon entering the hotel room you are greeted by a loop of Street Fighter II playing on a large wall mounted plasma, two linked arcade units, and plenty of journalists trying to cram in as much practice as they can before the tournament officially kicked off. Read more…

The undeniable force that is the internet has struck again, with a little help from what appears to be a video recording enabled cell phone.
