Capcom Adding Four New Characters to Street Fighter IV
New Street Fighter IV Characters
Although rumored at first, it has now been confirmed that Capcom will be adding four additional characters to Street Fighter IV.
A couple of people were shifting through the Famitsu live streaming demo of Street Fighter IV, looking for some hidden news that may be discovered, and it turns out that they found it. One site believes that four unannounced characters will be released for this video game.
A few months back, a member of the Shoryuken forums posted the names of new characters that were expected to be placed in game before Capcom even hinted at announcing them. They are Ibuki, Makoto and Dudley, all making their return from Street Fighter III. It turns out that these three characters all turned out to be right and will be available through downloadable content. It is pretty clear that you may want to begin saving up your Microsoft Points right now.
The forum post was removed, although many still know that these three will be coming soon. The fourth character remains to be a mystery, but rumors in the Street Fighter boards claim the fourth guy to be added to be Hakan, an Arab grappler. This brings the total count of new characters to ten, so some fans are wondering when Capcom will finally stop releasing them.
The above image is a screengrab from the live Famitsu streaming demo of SFIV, coupled with an analysis of the screen. Four characters are left blank and all the other characters are identified for you. So keep your eyes out for the new characters that will be released for Street Fighter IV.
