SFIV Will Have Online Multiplayer News

Online play and two new characters have been confirmed for Street Fighter IV on the consoles...

Capcom has confirmed that Street Fighter IV will feature online multiplayer when it's released on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Additionally, two all-new characters will be added to the home console versions that weren't in the arcade game.

Speaking to Famitsu (via IGN), SFIV Producer Yoshinori Ono stressed the importance of not compromising gameplay with the new characters: "We'll be adding characters while watching the overall balance." He also said of the online play, "we won't be adding unnecessary stuff".

The two new characters are called Rufus and Seth. Rufus is a bit of a lard arse who's a fierce rival of Ken's, while Seth is the CEO of S.I.N. (the company responsible for Shadaloo's weapons).

Seth looks a bit like the X-men's Colossus with a Yin and Yang sign embedded in his thorax. He has the ability to input different fighters' styles into his body and is the game's final boss, although it's not confirmed whether he'll be playable in the final game.

These two new characters for the home console versions join El Fuerte, Crimson Viper, and Abel (who were in the arcade game) as new characters for the Street Fighter series in its fourth iteration.

While a release date remains elusive for SFIV, Famitsu's report could confirm that the console ports are 20% complete.

	By: Jaden Arbiter Added:Sun 12th Apr 2009 17:12, Post No: 62 You know what a good rating for this game actually is? It's a 4.5. Why? That's because even if I was the number one fan of the original Street Fighter back when it was released 22 years ago in the classic arcade market I would still be as open minded as to say that I never want to see it in my face twenty-two years in the future no matter how much I had once liked it back in the day. What I am denoting is that nothing has changed at all since back then, nothing more than a few pretty looking images and character models in testament to what people would expect from the 21st century. But what ever happened to efficiency and competition? Tradition and bias won't ever get anyone anywhere.
	By: Jaden Arbiter Added:Sun 12th Apr 2009 16:56, Post No: 61 Ok so basically all you are saying about Street Fighter IV is an unnecessary briefing of Capcom's 22-year history concerning the series, why seeing 24 original characters return is better than 22, claiming that the whole "focus attack" concept is a seemingly genius mechanic even though its mediocre at best, and the online functionality in IV has a unique play on person vs person fights. So what happened to summarizing sound, graphics, the rest of the gameplay, longevity, and storyline? Someone is being biased while throwing sickingly pretentious words as they review. Just read the review I submittied for it on Gamespot, I try to actually be objective.

No one ever said anything about it, you must have some special affection for the game that you can't help but try to deny it every day of your life even if it means blaming other people for liking it when they don't. Unfortunately the pendulum of destiny has already rung, so no matter how much you despair over Leisure Suit Larry ringing in your head every day of your life you will become insane over it without stop and eat unleavened bread for 12 consecutive days and nights before spurting your last breath of air in this world. Good luck with your future, I'm glad I didn't get stuck in your situation.
