    Earlier this week, Famitsu reported details on the timetable and names for Capcom's planned costume packs for Street Fighter IV. The list seemed strange, with different price points per platform and a weird-looking schedule. Today, Capcom posted up similar details for the US market.

    Each costume pack will contain five alternate costumes--one per character--and will sell for $3.99 on the PlayStation 3 or 320 points on the Xbox 360. There will be one pack per week starting on 2/17, the game's release date.
    • 2/17 – Brawler Pack DLC Pack will include alternate costumes for: Zangeif, E.Honda, Rufus, El Furete, and Abel.
    • 2/24 – Femme Fatale Pack will include alternate costumes for: Chun-Li, Cammy, Sakura, Rose, and C.Viper.
    • 3/3/09 – Shoruken Pack will include alternate costumes for: Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Gouken, and Dan.
    • 3/10/09 – Shadowloo Pack will include alternate costumes for: Seth, M.Bison, Sagat, Balrog, and Vega.
    • 3/17/09 – Classic Pack will include alternate costumes for: Guile, Dhalsim, Fei-Long, Blanka, and Gen.
    In addition to downloadable costumes, Capcom has also detailed a free Championship Mode download that will come at an unspecified date. This add-on will build in new ways to interact with players online, including a replay mode that will allow you to upload and download match recordings. A new ranking points system will be added and there will be new ways to get into tournaments.

    The replay mode sounds especially awesome to me. Seems like there's always one or two totally insane comebacks floating around YouTube at any given time. Being able to watch those on a TV would be waaaay better.

    Here's a pile of shots of the new costumes in action.

    I'd personally like to know what costumes are coming with the Collector's edition.

    I hope it isn't set to these packs. I really only care about Zangief in that first one.

    I wish I could buy individual outfits.

    *shrug*  I dunno, I might get #2 and #3.  Mmmm....femme fatales....

    Still, this reeks of opportunism on Capcom's part.  Slimy...just plain slimy.

    Six across, one down. Half-naked Ryu. Is it just me, or if you looks closely, does it look like his skin has stitches to hold it together?

    Fuck yes! A Mike Haggar costume for Zangief!  Dig these throwbacks to classic Capcom franchises.

    EDIT: Still probably won't even buy SF4. I'm just not that into fighting games, and I don't wanna pay extra for a controller I can actually use.

    EDIT2: @ RawShark: Looks like arm-hair to me.

    I feel no different about these than I did the previous reports.  The prices are too high for what you're getting.  Make two packs, one for the old and one for the new characters, and make each one 99 cents.

    Capcom should be grateful people would even buy a crappy fighting game in 2009, making them pay full price is bad enough, let alone charging for outfits to play dress up.

    Don't buy them. If you think it's a "crappy" fighting game in the first place, don't give them your money. Community, lulz. MAKE THEM PAY FULL PRICE ZOMG. It's a new game, why wouldn't you have to pay full price? This isn't Cabela's Trophy Bucks.

    Oh, fuck you, Capcom.  If you want to work on stuff AFTER you've shipped the game, I don't care what you charge for it, I'll either buy it or I won't.  This is different.  This shit is already in the arcade version.  It's already in the damn game!  It's already been designed and programed!

    I'm not paying 79.99 to get the full experience, but I know many people will, and fuck them too.  They're the reason this crap will continue. :(

    This is ridiculous! There is no possible reason those 'packs' should not be part of the game already!

    NONE!!

    If SF4 was a person I'd smack them silly

    @Linkyshinks: My money is on "via cracking the game data". I bet these costumes are already on the disc, waiting to be unlocked.

    I agree with the sentiment that this content should be part of the $60 game.

    At the very least Capcom should wait a month or longer after the game comes out and give us enough credit as gamers who follow the industry to lie to us, saying that this content was not ready at the time of release. But right now the way they are handling this is very frustrating and rings of the situation with the horse armor in Oblivion.
