Street Fighter IV: The world warriors return

Comment now!

Screenshots of some of our fave Street Fighters have hit the web courtesy of Famitsu. Blanka, Chun-Li, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Guile and Zangief have all had their Street Fighter IV models shown off. This lot were confirmed from the very start. But seeing the characters in-game sets minds to rest about Capcom doing a Street Fighter III and scrapping 90% of the cast in favour of a new bunch.

Blanka and Zangief’s models looks awesome, but the rest look iffy to me. Chun-Li looks badly proportioned, as does Guile. Dhalsim looks like a rubber toy (intentional?) and E. Honda’s gut looks funny. Like Capcom weren’t sure whether to make it a 6 put, or a beer keg gut. Chun-Li gets let off the hook because her classic Super Street Fighter II ’stick the booty out’ Kioken pose is back in full effect.

I’m still not completely sold on this game being in 3D. I can’t help but be reminded of the blandness of Street Fighter EX 2 and 3, despite them not being developed by Capcom themselves. But if IV plays well, then it’s all good.  It’ll be interesting to see which other familiar faces will return and how the new ones will look, and also if the game will appear on Wii – there is no question that the Xbox 360 and PS3 are dead certs for getting this game. I’ve been shot down many times for even so much as hinting that this game could possibly run on Wii. But I still don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility. Graphically this game looks good, but it’s no Soul Calibur IV or Virtua Fighter 5 and doesn’t look that amazing.

Check out the link below to see more shots of the Street Fighter II veterans in action and also the new girl Crimson Viper going at it.
