    Earlier today, Capcom released a "benchmark tool" for the upcoming PC release of Street Fighter IV. It's essentially a non-interactive demo of the game that'll run and let you see how well the game will run on your system.

    Yeah, I think it's sort of silly, too. But considering this is a game you probably wouldn't want to play at all if you couldn't get it running right, it makes some sense.

    More interestingly, some folks have been digging through the audio files and came up with some announcer audio that specifically mentions Dee Jay and T. Hawk, two Super Street Fighters who didn't make it into the original release of Street Fighter IV. As EventHubs points out, the two characters were, at one point, under consideration for inclusion in the game. So this leads to the obvious question: is this leftover audio that just never got cut out of the game files, or is this a sign that additional characters are still on the way?

    That's something we'll probably have to wait for Capcom to reveal. Meanwhile, if you're after that benchmarking tool, FileShack's hosting it. It's nearly 400MB.

    Im surprised how well my PC ran the SF4 benchmark. It managed to retain great visual quality despite not being on the highest settings. Capcom have really optimized the game.

    I'm pretty sure that T. Hawk and Dee Jay are everyone's least favorite Super Turbo characters.

    I never understood the hate for T-Hawk and Dee Jay. Seriously, casuals are just too shallow when it comes to fighting game characters.

    And character DLC won't happen.

    @ArbitraryWater: I agree with you.

    Honestly, I don't really like any of the Super Street Fighter characters- the gameplay, not the characters, drew me to that update.

    If T.Hawk and Dee Jay are your thing, and they offer this as DLC, go for it. I'll skip.

    They're definitely the two worst characters from 2.  So no rush.

    I'm hoping it's just leftover. They've said in interviews that they'll add costumes and other stuff like that where it doesn't split the user base in a meaningful way, but stuff like new characters would be off-limits.

    I dont see why a benchmark tool is silly, seems like always a good idea, like that benchmark tool that came out on steam a while back for HL2.  I guess that a demo could fill this and be playable, but before the release, still pretty good.

    Yeah, the Benchmark tool is a good idea.
    Although for a game I don't want to play?
    I'll give it a miss.

    might as well do Rainbow Mika if T. Hawk is making the cut for a DLC. If they are going to upset the balance, then might as well go for broke.

    SF4's story is set between SF2 and 3 I believe.  So the possibility of SF3 characters being included are null.

    Lame characters are lame. Given the rich vein of characters they could draw from, those two seem like the worst possible choices :(

    If the characters are well balanced and fit in with the others, I'm all for it. I used D-Jay a bit in the past, and for some reason he was one of the few charge characters I could get  handle on.

    On a side note I got an A Rank on my laptop from the benchmark and am now seriously considering getting a PC version of this game so I can play on the go.

    I don't like either character, but they pretty much said if there is enough interest they will finish them. But as of right now, it's leftover audio, I mean they said they had the characters preliminary models done without textures and some of their animations, it stands to reason they would have gotten the announcer guy to spend 2 minutes doing the announcing for them seeing as at the time they probably didn't know they were gonna cut them.

    Yea I could care less about Hawk, Dee Jay I might want to see though.
    They should bring SF III chracters to IV.
    Actually, Ibuki would be biggest character I would want to see make an apperance...Oro would be good too.

    Honestly, I wasn't whining, all I said was that I wasn't a fan of these two characters (or any of the four Super Street Fighter characters).

    Have fun with them if that's what you're into.

    Man, I got a C rank in that benchmarking tool. I used medium settings (turned down AA and lowered the least essential shadowing) on a core 2 duo 6700 and a nvidia 8800GTS. It seems it is time for an upgrade.

    Nothing wrong with a benchmark tool, Jeff...or maybe your own PC can't handle the game. :P

    Anyway, I'm sure T.Hawk and Dee Jay will be included in the inevitable SF4 expansion.

    @Llama : If the game is too fast, you might have turned off V-Sync.  Keep it turned on to cap the frame rate at 60 FPS.

    When I first saw "T. Hawk", the first thing I thought was "Tony Hawk is in this game!?!". (I'm not a fighting fan, so I didn't know this T. Hawk was another character.) Needless to say I was woefully disappointed.

    I don't get the hate for T.Hawk and Dee Jay.  They were in SF2, and we already got Cammy and Fei Long, so why not add the rest of the World Warriors?  Their inclusion would only add more variety.

    I will say though, that I'd like to see some brand-new characters for the expansion in addition to Hawk and Dee Jay.
