Yes I will buy it, and one very big reason why it won't be DLC is if mostlikely cause there are rumors of it and a big demand, if they change the net code the entire infrastructure would be all new. Add that to all the new characters and such this is just a new game.

Super Street Fighter IV is a standalone update to its predecessor, adding new characters, modes, and online features.
Will you buy Super Street Fighter IV
As long as it comes out for PC then yes I will. Hell i just bought the Tournament edtn fightstick so I may stick with it
Fairly certain I'm going to get this on launch day.
Btw I don't know if it's been mentioned here yet but eventhubs pretty much confirmed that this will be a new disc but priced as an upgrade.
" Fuck no. SFIV was on of the worst purchases i've made in a while and i'm a person who bought Prince of Persia. "whats wrong with prince of persia......jerk,
pop was my favorite game of 2008
" @HandsomeDead said:It's a bland and boring chain of QTEs with breaks in it for shitty combat, Nolan North being Nolan North and the worst written ending i've seen in a videogame in a long time."

Prince: 'Hi, i'm Nolan North doing absolutely nothing to hide my voice. As a snarky America, i'm perfect for the role of a Persian prince of thieves.'" @HandsomeDead said:

Elika: 'Oh, hey Nolan. Want to stand still and watch a cutscene where I give you the exposition that the developers couldn't fit anywhere else and then you snark back at me?'
Prince: 'Gee, sure. Was that in a sarcastic enough tone for you?'
Elika: 'Almost. My father is more snarky. Let me stand here and spend 3 minutes telling you about him.'
And that's not even mentioning the end which is just one big stupid retcon.
well at the risk of being yelled at for having prince of Persia argument in a street fighter thread.
I think nolan north was awesome as the prince I actually hate him as drake. you must have not done the optional conversations which were really funny.
and the only reason you didn't like the ending is because you must not have understood why he did what he did. I liked the ending because I knew what was going on and then payed for the epilogue and loved that too. So I loved the game and you didn't oh well you can go play whatever it is that you play.
It'll probably pry another 60 bucks off me, but hell yes I'll jump back into SFIV once Super comes out.
all i can say is those of you who aren't buying this are just gonna be left out. the scene moves with the games. i'm just glad i'll finally be able to make use of my deejay skills built up over the years of super turbo. can't wait for the tournys for this game next year.
If it was downloadable content, I'd be more inclined to buy it. Really, this kind of expansion pack would be a good fit for downloadable content.
Its not going to happen though. I'm very disappointed about this, too.

I know it won't be, but it's been said that it will not be priced as a full retail product.
People pay A LOT every year for the newest iteration of a sports game (not much change each year with these) for full retail price. Why can't I pay "not full retail price" for an updated fighting game that doesn't come as often as a sports franchise game? It will also be more than a year from the launch of sfiv when ssfiv comes out in spring...

Well, congratulations, your hope is fulfilled." I really hope I'm mistaken but are they expecting me to pay full price for a couple of characters that should of just been in the original game? There is a word for what this should be you know..... it's called fucking DLC. "
For everyone who magically knows reasons why this shouldn't be a disc release and that it won't be worth the money, please read this and heed step 1.
A lot of gaming companies seem to want everyone to buy games twice round these days lol
Super Street Fighter IV
Gears 2 GOTY edition
Fable II GOTY edition
Fallout 3 GOTY edition
Halo 3 ODST
Need I go on?
I have the PC version, so it'll be very nice of Capcom to support PC users.
Of course, they'll give their support 6 months after the console releases. So nice of them.
Thanks for linking me to a bunch of pretentious shit :D" . @Soap said:

I guess I wouldn't be so pissed if the original Street Fighter IV had been called the more honest title of "Street Fighter IV : Half Baked Edition" then, seeing as this seems to be the version of SFIV that the original should of been.
Since the game will not a full priced one I will most likely buy it. I'm guessing it will be int $39.99. While I would much more like to have it in DLC form. I'll take what they give me.
P.S. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Evil Ryu.
Disliking the fighting genre or one specific take on it is one thing, but not acknowledging Street Fighter IV as one of its complete entries is pretty bananas.
"I don't really see a problem with "rebuying" the game, Lots of people do it with sports franchises year in, year out.. and games like street fighter IV don't really come about all that often. I think it will be worth it, especially if youre still playing the game on a regular basis 8 or 9 months after the games release. "
Good point about the sports franchise camparison. With that said, this is a day one purchase for me and if they chose to take the yearly approach I would buy the new entry every year. I find that SF IV is the only game I play online recently, it's just plain fun when it's you and another person one on one, like a chess match.
Is there even a release date for this yet? Im thinking its something that will come out next year. If so I dont think Ill have a problem buying it, jsut like when I baught the new Fight Night or Madden. At first I was pissed this was not going to be DLC but some of you bring up good points when comparing it to games like Tiger Woods and Madden which have yearly releases.
I'm on the fence, I was already about to rebuy it for PS3 (originally had it for 360 loved the game but the 360 is not for fighters). And was getting ready to pick it up off Amazon for $30 then the next day Super gets announced. I think I might as well get it and hope for DLC. A few new characters are not exactly worth it but I'm more worried about the online community jumping ship to Super and there only being a few peeps left on the original.
