We stood among Street Fighter enthusiasts, as we began immediate attempts at deciphering Famitsu’s live streaming demo of Super Street Fighter IV last week. One site we stumbled upon believes it’s found a bombshell: Four additional, unannounced characters will be coming to the game. However it is a skeptical theory.
Way back in September, a longtime Shoryuken forums contributor posted the names of the new characters before Capcom announced any of them. All turned out to be right. Three that have yet to be announced will return from Street Fighter III: Ibuki, Makoto and Dudley.
That forum post was subsequently removed, but the semi-common knowledge of these three, anyway, remains. Subsequent loose chatter on Street Fighter boards and speculations. That brings the total of new characters to 10, six announced and the other four- we’ll just have to wait, wont we Capcom?
Anyway, that image above is EventHubs’ screengrab of the Famitsu demo and analysis of the character select screen. Four are left blank. The remaining new characters, bosses and others are all specified.
