Street Fighter IV
http://streetfighter.com
There's a lot of stuff showing here for the preview of the new Street Fighter IV game due out in early 2009! Yes, the original cast of SFII is in it with four new characters:
Abel - martial artist with a military background, but has amnesia
Crimson Viper - new chick, looks like an SNK person
El Fuerte - luchador wrestler
Rufus - looks like a popcorn munching, beer "gutted" something (no background info was release on him, just a pic)
And when I said the original cast of SFII was back that does include the bosses. Bison is back and was able to transfer himself into a new body. So Shadowloo is on the loose for the final time (this is a prequel to Street Fighter III). Not sure if more characters will be implemented into the game. A lot of us are hoping for Alpha characters to be included. Same thing for the Super Street Fighter characters of Fei Long, Deejay, Thunderhawk, Akuma and Cammy. But the game is long from being done and a lot of us are expecting more characters to show up. Hopefully I can play Guy in this, otherwise I'm itching to give El Fuerte a spin. :D
For the High Definition Remix coming out for download the screen shots look amazing and saw a video on youtube of the game play. Very smooth!!! And considering Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD was also redone by Udon artists, yeah I'll actually buy that version to (got one for the old PS1 and my GBA). Particularly if it's updated. Speaking of Udon, read somewhere we can expect new comics to hopefully come out this summer. Well it's summer, and I'm itching for the new issues! Plus in the Zero Legends they showed a sketch of Guy for a possible Final Fight short series. :D
Oh, you can check out info on the upcoming movie Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. I know, I know you're all thinking, not a repeat of the Jean Claude Van Damm trainwreck. Well reading the website, it's only going to feature a few characters. Chun Li of course, Bison, Charlie Nash, Balrog, Vega, and Gen. But from reading the cast list and the movie crew got in a Hong Kong martial arts team in this might turn out be actually decent. Considering we have Kristin Kreuk as Chunners, Neal McDonough as Bison, and get this, Michael Clarke Duncan is Balrog. Oh, for Gen, Robin Chou of Mortal Kombat fame will doing the roll. I'm a bit leary on this film considering the last one, but it's looking quite promising. So we'll see what happens in a few months. :P
OTAKON SKIT NOTE: I'll be submitting the skit on Wed just after Noon eastern time. That's when the e-mail opens up on that stuff. Only thing I don't really have from all of you is age. With the exception of Maranda I know at least one of you is 22, and the other two I'm guessing are 21. Maranda I know you're 19. :P Dang kids. **l** And yes, Casicio said yes to doing Ryu, which will add to the hilarity of what i plan on doing to Spiker's Ken. :D We do need to schedule a weekend to get together and record our stuff on CD. Considering the skit premise this year, can't use a microphone. So we need to do that sometime in July or else we'll be scrambling and I don't want that!
