Super Street Fighter IV Announcement Soon

[Shawn Zipay]

Screenshots, details, and even video of a "rumored" Super Street Fighter IV have started to surface all across the Internet today and in the days prior. Rumors of new characters, settings, moves, and more have swirled around and it looks as though many of those rumors are true.

EventHubs has a summary of both the possible rumor list for Super Street Fighter IV and the confirmed list of features and characters slated for the game. They also included a list of confirmed details as noted by a GameSpot interview with Capcom's Yoshinori Ono.

Capcom states that while the "Super" will not be a downloadable piece of content but an actual retail release, it will be priced as if it were simply DLC. Hit the jump for that list of confirmed details!

• Right now the new upgrade is tentatively set for a spring 2010 release.
• Super Street Fighter 4 will be a disc based iteration, and not DLC (Downloadable Content), but the game will be priced as an update, not a brand new title.
• As this time, they're thinking of adding about 8 characters to the game. (Rumors currently have this pegged at 10 fighters total).
• Capcom is planning on adding more features to the online modes. Things so people can enjoy playing as a group. (Sounds like lobbies are in).
• There will be tweaks and balance changes, along with more online stuff and new features the developers are adding.
• Bonus Stages aren't 100% confirmed, but it sounds like they'll be making it into Super Street Fighter 4 regardless.
• Juri is a Korean Tae Kwan Do fighter and is very important to the storyline.
• You won't need the original disc to play this update, but fans who have a copy of SF4 will be, "happy to have held on to it," as they'll be receiving something nifty.
• They skipped "Champion Edition" and "Turbo" and jumped straight to "Super" for the name of this upgrade because of the scale and size of what they're planning.
