But thanks to a persistent series of very legit-looking leaks, I'm just going to go ahead and assume that the teaser site is counting down to the announcement of something called Super Street Fighter IV, which is a new version of Capcom's fighting game that, if the available info is accurate, will add new characters and moves to the mix. Here's a shot of one of the new characters, Juri:
But enough about that. The game will also feature T.Hawk as a playable character. Additionally, these screenshots match up with a list of supposed features compiled by EventHubs last week, which specifically mentions both of these new characters, along with other existing characters like Dee Jay, Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto, Adon, Cody, and Guy. Another new character named Hakan is also listed in the EventHubs article. Assuming this release will find its way back into arcades, this would also be a good time for Capcom to put the console-only characters from SFIV into the arcade release, giving that version Dan, Fei Long, Cammy, Sakura, and so on. But there's no real platform information out there yet, so we'll have to hold tight to see what the release plans are.
Gameplay changes are said to include two Ultras per character, the return of bonus stages, and more. Of course, this is all totally unverified, but with the images coming out and sort of backing up the list, I guess I'm willing to put a little stock in it.
Combine all this with a picture of someone posing with Capcom's Yoshinori Ono that shows bits of Super Street Fighter IV in the background and also sports a GamePro Germany watermark, and my guess is that Capcom held an event to show SSFIV to international press under embargo during the Tokyo Game Show last week and that official details will be hitting all over the place once that Capcom teaser site launches. Again, that's just a guess.
Or hey, maybe all of this info is fake and the screenshots are doctored! Stranger things have happened, right?
I really hope that this is DLC.
However i would be all for it being cheap dlc - between this and the probably new disc resi 5 directors cut, capcom really could get me to buy the same game multiple times here :(
Yep. Amazing guys...it's Street Fighter 4 (which was meh as is) with more characters. This somehow justifies a new full priced release. Yeah, go fuck yourselves Capcom. Good thing Japanese games are slowly being overtaken by Western games.

Bison here is called Vega in Japan. I call him Vega though, too.
I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic.
... Unless it were bundled with a good stick at a decent price. This would also be acceptable.
Except for N. America the end bosses names (except for Sagat) were mixed up.
N. America Pretty much everywhere else
M. Bison = Vega
Vega = Balrog
Balrog = M Bison
So if you go to a major fighting game forum (Shoryuken being the biggest for Street Fighter) you will see that people refer to these characters as Dictator, Claw, and Boxer. That way everyone knows who they are talking about.
