New Super SF4 Trailer Debuts SF3's Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto

Street Fighter III fans rejoice: Capcom's latest Super Street Fighter IV [http://www.amazon.com/Super-Street-Fighter-IV-Playstation-3/dp/B002TDIEEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1279561812&sr=1-1] trailer shows off fan favorites Dudley, Ibuki and Makoto in all of their full current-gen, 3D-modeled glory.


*ahem* If you'll excuse me, I'd first like to refer back to the news post I made back in September [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/95069-Super-Street-Fighter-IV-Brings-Eight-New-Challengers] when Capcom officially announced Super Street Fighter IV:

[blockquote]This, of course, leaves five unannounced characters, and while it's possible that some of them could be original fighters like Juri, it's probable that some of them will be fan favorites from other games as well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Dudley and Ibuki from Street Fighter III, personally.[/blockquote]

And now we have the above trailer. So, on behalf of my past-self-from-September: Thank you, Capcom. Thank you from the bottom of my gentleman-fighter heart.

Yes, it's true, Street Fighter III fans! Not only will Super Street Fighter IV introduce new Tae Kwon Do fighter Juri; not only will Super Street Fighter IV bring back Street Fighter Alpha mainstays Guy, Cody, and Adon and Super Street Fighter II's T. Hawk and Dee Jay... but the game will feature the triumphant return of three of the most beloved characters from SF3 as well: Ninja girl Ibuki, gentleman brawler Dudley, and karate heiress Makoto are all going to be stepping into the ring to throw down with the new generation of heroes.

This makes me a very happy fighting game fan, and also amuses me considering that one of Sakura's alternate SF4 costumes was essentially Makoto's outfit minus pants. Maybe Makoto will have an alternate schoolgirl outfit? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Dibs on Dudley.

No Charlie makes me sad, but I'm definitely happy to have these three as well. Can't wait for release day.

 

[MurderousToaster]

I was thinking of buying SFIV, but I decided to wait for SSFIV. No point in paying (even cheaply) for a game that will be out of date so soon.

 

[Archemetis]

I've completely had all rational thought stripped away from the "Looks like it's time to oil up!" line...


Sorry.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Ibuki.
-goes outside and jumps and yells for joy-

I really want to get it now.
And i can wait, i will wait.

And as for Dudley, i hope they will keep his CROSS COUNTER!

Big Resounding "meh" from my end...Street Fighter 2 was the best..and still is.

Try out Makoto then, she plays like one of the original Street Fighters only with a dash attack.

I wasn't going to buy this, I didn't buy Street Fighter 4 purely because SF2 was still king, but now Makoto is in... I'm willing to spend some money on it.

 

[NeutralDrow]

WHOO MAKOTO!

Dibs on Dudley.

You keep your dashingly manly mustachioed gentleman boxer. My (actual) shotokan karate girl is back!

...on the other hand, Dudley versus Balrog is now a reality. I've always dreamed this day would come...maybe I should actually get this game.

 

[Space Spoons]

Looks like they've really switched up Dudley's Jet Upper. What a relief. I wasn't looking forward to having to contend with yet another invincible Shoryuken-style anti-air.

And didn't the director of the series say there'd be no passive Supers/Ultras like Makoto's Tanden-Renki (Red skin power up)? Not that I'm not glad to see it return, but still.

 

[Dudeakoff]

Now all there is left to announce is Hakan and then I'll have to sit tight until April.

I'm going back to Cody since I used him in the Alpha 3 days. Dudley looks like he's going to be the new Ken.

[JakBandit2208]

I was on the fence about this game but now I'm hyped (Adon is the man!!!)

God..back in the day =D

 

[Postman667]

Damn, I wish they would bring back Twelve.

 

[wunderguy]

this is awsome.

but you know what would be better.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 same gameplay but with SFIV graphics

 

[Conqueror Kenny]

I don't know how well Makoto will transfer into Street Fighter 4. The entire basis of Makoto was "Guess right twice or thrice and game over." You don't do as much damage in Street Fighter 4 and damage/dizzy scaling will mean no instant stun combos and going by Fei's command grab im worried hers won't be very good like it was in third strike.

 

[SsilverR]

DUUUUUUUUDLEEEEEY!!!! YESS!!!

 

[MrMisfit]

DUUUUUUUUDLEEEEEY!!!! YESS!!!

Same here. Dudley and Guy in the same game? Who says dreams don't come true?

 

[SMOKEMNHALO2001]

this is awsome.

but you know what would be better.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 same gameplay but with SFIV graphics

Oh hell yes! That would be awesome, techno/trance backgrounds mixed with water coloring, Capcom listen to this person and get it done now!

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Unless they solve the balance issues then all these new characters will be meaningless.
