Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition May Get Updates
Keits by on July 13th, 2011 at 11:25 am

According to a short interview by Mad Catz TV held at the San Francisco launch party of Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition, Capcom’s Christian Svensson says that Arcade Edition may not be the end of the line for the series. Also included in this clip are interviews and appearances by MarkMan, Red Rapper, FilthieRich, John Choi, and Jared Rea.

  • Killer_Jigglypuff

    As expected, of course.

    • Affliction

      Im still expecting a release date for Third Strike Online. Seriously, how long does it take to tell a release date for a game thats already finished?

      • lg 3V07UT10N

        i am pretty sure they said its the 25th of August.

        • lg 3V07UT10N

          acutally sorry its pegged at august 26

          • Affliction

            Wow really? Is that what they meant when they said “summer”. Fucking capcom man…

  • Toasters

    this cow is gonna run dry soon.

  • Nybb

    Considering that Super was also the end of the series for a while too, this really shouldn’t surprise anybody. Here’s hoping for a few sensible balance changes (i.e. very few nerfs) and perhaps two more characters to fill those empty spots on the character select screen.

  • kingsharkboi

    well it better get updated…in the form of you-know-what

  • Sadistic Masochist

    good for capcom, keep on milking. there enough sheep willing to buy some milk.

    • iQuick

      Yourself included I bet. You’re telling me you don’t have a copy of AE?

      • arstal

        I skipped AE. If they make the game reasonable again, I’ll buy it.

      • Walking0rgasm

        only way i would buy this game is used so that capcom doesnt see my monies.

  • xStingy

    I’d be happy to pay for another patch. >>

  • kloiuten

    The new SF characters that are planned to appear in SF x Tekken and the however many incarnations it may have down the line will be added to SF AE accordingly as and when they appear in SF x T. Only question to hype about is, who are they?

    • Saikyo Mantis

      Lemme guess…
      Rolento (to counter Bryan Fury, of course)
      Karin (pair with Lili Rochefort)
      Then throw in Juni and Juli to represent Bison’s Elite Guard since it has been hinted at in SFIV.

  • Jerkey

    idk why everyone is complaining about the game we had this in the past with third strike were only a few characters really shined but in ae it isnt that bad. I think people need to stop crying and man up and play the game. it was the same with marvel 2 and no one really complained that much. imo the whole community itself has grown to soft and look what happens when capcom tries to fix things to make it fair we end up with games like mvc3 ….

    • Doc Strange

      There are two differences this time around. First, it would be exceedingly easy for Capcom to release a FREE balance patch like any other self respecting developer would to fix the imbalances. Second, Ono himself said that they PURPOSELY made AE imbalanced.

      Both of those are unacceptable, and yes I did buy AE for the new characters and was sorely dissapointed. It’s gonna take some majorly nerd-gasm worthy new characters for me to shell out for another update though.

      • Hace

        yeah it must have been pretty rough spending that $15

        • Walking0rgasm

          40 if you dont have space on your hard drive

          • Veserius

            Because you can’t delete things and redownload them? Come on.

    • arstal

      I complained about 3S for the same reasons. It was just as stupid in the past as it is today.

  • TRUEB7UE

    and here we go.

  • Obanye

    Please update the Arcade version as well as the Console version. Its amazing right now with only one version for PC Console and Arcade.

  • Super Sonic

    Nerf the bitches!

  • Blacksonic21

    If they do patch it, I hope it’s small changes and character tweaks that we won’t have to pay for.

    • BiGGDaddyCane

      As Much as I pray we wont have to pay too. Its most likely not gonna happen. FarmerCom Loves to Milk. If there putting any type of Content out, they WANT that income from it.

      • pmg0

        > FarmerCom Loves to Milk

        +1

        They sure do :)

  • Aerial Screw

    The series won’t end until Super Street Fighter 4 Turbo: Arcade Champion Edition Alpha II – Hyper Fighting World Impact III: The Rainbow Generation 3D

    I’m calling it right now, I’m gonna main Good Samaritan Bison and alt Angel Akuma/Wheelchair Yang

    • Mideon

      I wanna be GunZangief.

      • Aerial Screw

        Gungief is a really bad matchup for Kendo Sagat and AARP Chun Li. You’ll do well.

        • Walking0rgasm

          this post and all the replies made me laugh pretty fucking hard. holy shit. LMFAO

    • solgatsu

      No kidding. They are literally trying to make sf4 a “spirtual” successor to sf2

  • solgatsu

    i hope they make blanka strong again. i have to really try harder than normal to beat dhalsim players. (its almost feels impossible at times) nerf dhalsim please!

    • evilweevle

      ha ha ha nice joke.

      • solgatsu

        for real man hehe

      • solgatsu

        if they can make blanka barf a electricball like dhalsim does with a fireball at the same speed, then im set! come ono, troll this request for me

  • Jortex

    People say nerf yun. I guess he could use a little nerf but poongko proved that he is beatable

    • Jerkey

      exactly what i think people make it sound like he’s unbeatable when all you have to do is be smart and out play the other person it never comes down to the character it always falls back on the player

      • REDFACTOR

        you may play smart, but someone playing stupid with Yun will still give you trouble. That is some serious balance issue.

        • TheWooWooKid

          Yeah, all we have to do is download Poongko’s talent and also practice 16 hours a day.

          • PurpleLemonadeGGPO

            You act like the Yun players you fight on laggy xbox live are at the same level as Momochi.

          • LoyalSol

            Momochi is one of the top players in the world. Destroying him was no easy feat.

      • Windsagio

        baad argument.

        “It’s okay because if you’re WAY better than the other guy, or get really lucky, you can win!”

  • mega_buster

    you cant really call capcom milking i you guys keep asking for more or course any company will give you more

  • rikc

    How dare Capcom ask us to pay money for content they produced that we download voluntarily.

    • Zebster

      Shut up.

    • Streye

      How dare you make sense!

  • Razing Phoenix

    Is a fight stick REALLY that important? Can you really compare a fight stick, to a guitar for Rockband? I understand this was marketing, but where does the whole “get off the pad” idea come from anyway?

    • Fenaris

      Because that’s exactly what it is : A specialized peripheral to enhance the gameplay experience. Guitar Hero allows a regular controller to play, but the guitar makes the feel of the game more authentic. Same thing with a fight stick.

    • Travis Epic

      He was saying that Fighting Games were designed to run with “Arcade Style Controls” It’s part of the experience. The buttons and command inputs are most likely designed for an arcade style set up then they add things like the “Macros” to accommodate for players that use pad. Just like in Guitar Hero or Rockband they placed game mechanics around a specific control type while also including controls for the regular pad. It wasn’t about being good or bad but actually being engulfed in the experience of the Arcade Feel of the game.

    • darktown

      it isn’t that important there have been many successful players on pad wolfkrone, rico suave, inthul etc. but street fighter has always been mean’t to play on a stick. you can do fine with a pad it isn’t tough to use i have a stick but i actually prefer to use my pad, and i can use the stick too so it isn’t like impossible to get good with a pad just practice with whatever is more comfortable.

  • Hash

    Just give cammy back her tkcs and im good

  • Scarlet Rabbi

    Here’s to hoping Scarlet Terror finally gets the invincibility it deserves.

    • Minekiesty

      This.

  • xSparkleMotioNx

    Seriously. All you complainy little girls crying to the capcom mommy are going to get your wish with a Yun nerf…bunch of babies i swear.

  • Ellipsen

    WOO!! MORE AE Pleeaassee, I cant get enough of this game!

  • xSparkleMotioNx

    Yun is not op. It just your lack of knowledge on how to beat him. Fight the player, not the character. I really hate the generation of softies. What ever happened to suckin it up and playing the damned game huh? Ever since games started getting patches vie the internet, the gaming community has become soft. It sad really.

    • Doc Strange

      Ono purposely made Yun OP, he said it himself. That’s not players being soft, it’s Ono continuing to be a straight up retard.

      • PurpleLemonadeGGPO

        Then are you okay with them leaving Fei Long and Makoto the same as they currently are? *troll face*

        • arstal

          If they hadn’t overnerfed Guile/Honda some others in AE, Fei Long and Makoto would have been good solid upper mid to top chars with a couple of 4-6 matchups. No one would be complaining about them. Yun and Yang aren’t the only thing AE completely screwed up.

    • WJKovacs

      Yun IS OP, but people just confuse the term “OP” with “broken”.

      • abacus

        so true

    • Caleb_G

      yea because its not like Capcom hasnt been making updates to games with various nerfs and buffs

  • Ellipsen

    We want Anniversary edition

    – Play ANY VERSION of your character, Vanilla, Super, AE, this game is already a masterpiece, why not add more to the body of work?

  • ChibiMana

    Super Turbo Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition.

  • mega_buster

    yes anniversary edition who be the best

    • Ellipsen

      heck yes, who would be top tier then? V.Sagat? AE.Yun?

  • SnakeAes

    That Anniversary edition is actually a really good idea.

    • Ellipsen

      Thanks, most agree, just combine all 3 and even a 4th if they rebalance again.
      Can you imagine the options….pick any of 4 versions of your character?

      Lets DO IT!

  • mrshmearo

    I don’t want to be negative but I’m over it, let it die

  • Shoryu Reppa

    SF4 Anniversary Edition please.

    Let us use Vanilla and Super versions of all characters. Give Vanilla Sagat and Ryu back their damage and trade dp into Ultra.

    Fucking PLEASE!

    • PurpleLemonadeGGPO

      Vanilla Sagat would make AE Yun his bitch.

  • Atheist way

    We all know the series will end on Ultra edition…
    Its written in the stars!

  • Zx-tole

    Make the game faster please

  • jaib83

    MORE BUFFS TO THE TWINS!!!

  • defghui

    good thing they put the important bits in the beginning of the video. the rest is meh. pointless banter

  • MavFan619

    In related news beating a dead horse is “in” this year. Just kidding I’ll buy it and play it no matter what, sadly.

  • SniperNightOwl

    twin nerfs go go go. Then, when people come crawling back to their old mains who they dropped we can drink some coffee and laugh over it

  • Rain

    I’m so shocked right now honestly.

    P.S. BUFF CLAW PLEASE CAPCOM

  • WJKovacs

    I’ll keep buying the game as many times as Capcom releases it.

    Street Fighter IV has been the greatest gaming investment I have made.

    Seeing as how I’ve lost interest in gaming with all the shit that’s been dished out by the industry, I don’t mind shelling out a few more bucks to support Capcom.

    Call me a fanboy, call me a scrub, I don’t care. I’ll just keep giving them my money.

    • Logia

      Well, at least someone’s honest.

  • Windsagio

    Gotta love all the fronting on here, ‘damn kids are pussies these days why in our day we played low-tier and we LIKED IT!’

    • PurpleLemonadeGGPO

      Back in my day, we played this game you probably never heard of, called Super Street Fighter 4. And I had to deal with 6-4 matchups all day. Sometimes even 7-3 matchups. Damn you Cammy. Those were the days, back in 2010.

      • Windsagio

        you know, you’re actually pretty awesome sometimes :D

  • MrSoada

    No, abandon SF4 and work on other fighters.

  • FROG55JON

    Capcom gets away with too much, am surprised that people ent complaining?!?

  • darth_nevermore

    if its new fun stuff that adds to the game then i’ll buy it,im not one of these whiney bitches who act like they are forced to buy new stuff.

  • Ellipsen

    YESSSS MOAR SF4 PLS!! I’m so hooked.

  • VariantX

    Eh, I don’t mind. If there’s more updates, then great, that keeps me from having to buy another disk when my SSF4 disk is perfectly fine. I just hope they’ll get around to adding some new backgrounds in those potential future updates.

  • raisukurimu

    anniversary edition?? lol my mains would be
    S.Vega
    V.Ryu
    S.Honda
    AE.Yang

  • Pertho

    LET IT DIE

  • bitkid

    I wish they would go back to Vanilla characters for the original cast, add the best versions of the Super cast, and add the 4 AE characters.

  • Blackapino

    I just want Cody to have his dodge and I’ll be set. Let’s do it!!!!

  • StrtFghtrMstr

    I’m down for Anniversary Edition; + New BGs, BGM, maybe filters to make it cell shaded, cinema style, etc… so down for this. I can play around any balance, it’s part of the game. Level up or join the army of top tier braaaaaaa.

  • SoVi3t

    Bring on Hugo (with remixed OST theme) and Oro

  • Freebyrd

    Buff Yun please, I have to use at least one tenth of my brainpower when I’m playing as him, and I start to get bad headaches during extended play sessions.

  • Jontology

    How about adding Elena to the game? Elena was actually apparently one of the characters that barely missed the cut for SSFIV, and now didn’t make it to AE either. Instead we got the twins and two more shotos. Joy.

    Beyond that I dunno who else to add. Perhaps another charge character, or another from Alpha.

    • MrSoada

      twins were easy to add, their models are similar and they share normals or have the same jumping normals regardless of neutral or f/b jump. Evil ryu was tweaking the ryu model. Oni probably took more effort. Capcom is just gonna try to recycle models instead of doing the right thing and adding Urien.

  • The 4th Letter

    I find it hilarious that every time people bring up game balance the first thing some air head brings up is 3rd Strike which came out in 1999.

    Pardon my french, but are you FUCKING serious? In this day and age w/ the technology we have and the talent pool for development and the bar being set so high for video game development you use 3rd Strike as THE excuse?

    “Well back in my day we didn’t have air bags, if you hit a tree you skull was split in 2, so don’t bitch about faulty air bags”

    GTFOH. Balance the games so tier lists don’t exist. What the hell is the point of making a character who nobody will use because it’s a pain in the ass. If they want to include handicaps, let the player make that decision.

    Don’t screw over people who are fans of characters and genuinely learn them only to be bested by somebody else because of design quirks.

    /RANT

    • The Lone Dragon

      Lol, this post was filled with amusement and truth.

  • DGNR8

    I’m down for more updates. I don’t understand the bitching about it, we all remember the updates to Street Fighter II. If anyone ever reads Ono’s tweets, he has mentioned he is not only very interested in updating the game, but also wants to follow a similar format that KoF used to have, year installments!

    Wrap your head around that one folks.

    • arstal

      The thing with KOF is the fans just played the good versions. They didn’t bother with the crappy AE equivalents like KOF96 and KOF01.

      Going from super to AE is like going from KOF2k2 to KOF2k3.

  • Serge

    I’m happy to pay for more SF4, the value for money I end up getting on those games is ridiculous.

    As for what I want to see, if they add Karin, I would forsake all others for her. Sorry, Seth.

  • lg 3V07UT10N

    BAN ONO!!!!! :P

  • RoboGem II

    People who bitch about AE’s balance need to take a look at 3rd strike. As great of a game 3s is, so many 8-2 and 7-3 match ups in that game its ridiculous.

    • Windsagio

      Somebody said it earlier but bears repeating, nothing should be held to the QA standards of the ’90s. They had no idea how good people would get and barely cared.

      People have every right to expect better now.

  • Snoe Cone XV

    I can’t say that I’m surprised. I’ll be waiting.

  • W3nch

    “Yun gets nerfed in terms of health. But his high damage output especially when combined with X-Factor level 3 will still make him a playable character.”

    If Dic’s c.hp came out faster I’d be happy, maybe put the psycho abortion back to qcfx2 but it’s not really that important since people aren’t stupid enough to throw stuff out when Dic has full ultra.

  • Ultrabison

    Gee now ham am i going to afford that huge 1200ms points when the next update gets released in like a year hmmmmm…

    Here’s hoping they put sean in it tis time :)

  • J-Goz

    I have spent a total of $55 for a game that I’ve played for over 300 hours and enjoyed for each and every one. Better yet, there are still plenty of people playing online because it keeps getting refreshed with yearly updates, and this one only cost me 15 bucks. Consider that against Call of Duty which is pretty much a rehashed version of the same game every year, and every year the fans spend $59 + money for DLC. Seems like a great deal to me. I’ll fly the Capcom flag. What do you people want anyway? Street Fighter 5? What’s the point? We’re still on the same generation of consoles, so it’s not like it would be that much different. I don’t get all the bitching. As far as balancing, I really don’t care. I play who I want to play and have fun. Evil Ryu is actually a really cool twist on shotos in my opinion, and I’ve been having a lot of fun with AE.

  • Karma3500

    I’ll admit it, ima capcom fanboy and im proud of it. I started playing street fighter with SSF4 around 4 months ago and i literally havent played any game since. It’s almost surreal to me how one game can hold my interest and continue to be entertaining, and i dont think this game will get boring to me anytime soon. So go ahead capcom, makes as many versions of SF4 as you want, ill gladly toss a couple more dollars at you

  • Cyric

    I got MANY hours of playtime out of SSF4 but hardly any out of MvC3.
    I skipped AE because I didnt think it offered anything of interest to me. If they update SF4 again with good characters like Elena, Alex, Oro or Mika, I’ll buy it.

  • ukyo_rulz

    I skipped buying AE myself but I played it at a friends house a couple of times. Can’t say that the experience has ever given me the urge to shell out for it. I’m not against paying for an update per se, but AE just felt super lazy to me.

  • Guccibear_100

    One more version. Call it Super Street Fighter 4 FINAL. Add another whole row of characters. Bring back Remy, Elena, Necro, and like, R. Mika. not to mention top requested characters like Karin, Alex, and Rolento. Make about 8 – 10 more stages. Another Final balance update. And some type of solid story or action mode. Bring back World Tour from Alpha 3.

    I will pay 60 dollars for this Capcom. As will about 90% of the people posting here. Just do it already!

  • RaiiN

    Well instead of screaming for nerfs & buffs, here are some other things I would really like to see.
    1) I know a lot of effort went in to creating the current stages, but I would really love to see the return of character specific stages ( I want Vega’s cage & Cammy’s bridge back )
    2) I’m actually a fan of the bonus stages, so it would be cool to see the flaming barrels & brick pyramid return.
    3) The return of character specific fight intros (ex. Makoto vs Ibuki in 3S, Ryu vs Sagat in Alpha )
    4) I know Capcom would never consider adding this, but I would really like to see a costume color editor ala CvS2
    5) Show some love for the forgotten SF characters ( I want Maki & Eagle )

  • Pingback: Gamercafe » Blog Archive » …… Svensson: “SSFIV Arcade Edition tal vez no sea el final de la línea de la serie”

  • Danonino

    “1) I know a lot of effort went in to creating the current stages, but I would really love to see the return of character specific stages ( I want Vega’s cage & Cammy’s bridge back )”

    I always thought they didnt have character specific stages in SF4 because of the budget they had for the game. You can see they originally planned to have a stage for every character in the concept art. Guiles stage ended up the desert stage, blankas stage got doubled up as night and day jungle etc because the ran out of time/money.
    When the game sold well and they added the extra stages for super the quality of the stages skyrocketed in my opinion.
    If you play on the jungle stage then on the africa stage you can see the huge gulf in quality. Check out the paper cut-out monkeys and crap animation then those amazing Meercats and jumping zebras etc… its like a different company made the two levels.

    IF they decide to bring SF4 to a close I honestly think they should do it right, yes I agree that the twins need a slight tweaking etc, but I would like to see the game finished: bring all the stages to the same visual level, and have a stage per character like street fighter should imo. To be honest it wouldnt be too difficult to do, not every stage needs to be a bustling hive of animated characters and stuff…. think The stormy grasslands stage in alpha (where sagat got his scar in the manga).

    sorry bout suchj a stupidly long post… but the obvious cash saving on the stages grinds my gears ;)

  • Danonino

    no edit button /o\

  • SVN4

    If they want to be really “incorrect” (considering this new “game design paradigm” out there) they could add a turbo mode; while im not looking for a T3 (from the ’90) equivalent in SFIV, a little boost would be interesting. lets say make the game T2.

    Also, as a further step/degree of getting “retro”, they could add 2 (im going for realistic numbers) new stages with the length of old SF2 stages.

    Also, give all characters besides the twins a “custom combo” move to be activated by a special command (maybe character specific) and *used by the super meter*. The CC would have two forms, one being more like Genei Jin and the other more like Seiei Enbu. And it would be actived, for example, like pressing either P or K with the command input (something simple). And the grapplers would be able to command-grab OTG like in the Alpha series.
    I AM FUCKING SERIOUS ABOUT THIS

  • Thancruz

    Could people stop saying “The Twins are OP” and just say Yun is OP.

  • refuse2lose

    @Jortex

    Poongko beats Yun because Seth’s options are just as retarded when he gets in…unlike almost 99% of the rest of the cast who are bland & one dimensional either because they were poorly designed to begin with or nerfed to oblivion.

    The complaints about Yun, Yang et al aren’t really about how good they are it’s about how shit everybody else is. All the complaints about SSF4 being too defensive sums it up it wasn’t too defensive outside of the fact defence worked because of a lack of options afforded to the attacker which lead us to AE which kind of fails as an SF title because all play styles are no longer relevant.

    If there is an update to AE Capcom will probably nerf the top tier again, how is that going to improve the game, we’ll just have 39 or so bland characters with limited options.

  • kingrex

    My only qualm with unbalance is that if the twins get to retain their properties from 3S, then why didn’t they introduce 3S mechanics to the rest of the cast? How come charge characters didn’t get charge partitioning? Who else gets to combo their ultra into their Super but Yun..?! They may as well just bring in Urien with Aegis reflector that costs an ex bar if they’re gonna steer away from “balance.” Or Gill with a full screen unblockabke Ultra.

  • d3f1anc3

    If only to nerf Yun, it better get a fucking patch if anything. Give me a break.

    Ono said himself multiple times that he made Yun purposely overpowered to “encourage competition”.
    Here’s a video where Seth Killian talks about it. Skip to around 05:40
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgVumzTAnwU&feature=player_detailpage#t=340s

    Also, it’s not a matter of going to training mode and just learning the matchup.
    It’s like if two basketball teams have to play, but the official randomly gives one team 3 points at the start of the match. They just have to play better to make up for it, right?

  • Data Beast

    The twins are overpowered to encourage people to buy Turd Strike Online.
