Japanese publication reveals additional characters for Street Fighter IV; original SFII playable roster unveiled...
Due to hit Japanese arcades in 2008, Street Fighter IV's fighter roster is perhaps one of the most eagerly awaited line ups since Fabio Cappello's first starting eleven for England. So far, only two characters have been officially confirmed, Ken and Ryu, though speculation over the rest has continued on the internet.
Japanese Famitsu magazine has started to put an end to that however, with six additional characters revealed within its pages, all of them iconic and all of them originally featuring in Street Fighter II: Chun Li, Zangief, Guile, Dhalsim, Blanka, and E. Honda.
Like Ryu and Ken's Hadoken fireball, images from the latest issue show that the trademark moves of each of the six characters, including Chun Li's 'Lightning Leg', Dhalsim's 'Yoga Flame', and E. Honda's 'Hundred Hand Slap', make a return in the game.
Developer/publisher Capcom has confirmed that the beat 'em up will hit 'next-gen' consoles at some point, but when exactly for now remains unknown.

A) It's a PREVIEW, nowhere does it say a REVIEW!
B) It IS a preview taken from the Xbox 360 build demonstrated at Leipzig Convention, and certainly NOT the arcade build.
Regarding date, I'll agree it's still up in the air... [ Read full comment... ]
