• Its Here, Its Gone, Its Here Again! Hakan Confirmed?!?

    Yesterday, as you may or may not know, a forum account called 'TheLeaker' decided to leak a very small image of Hakan's VS screen in Super SF4. This account was created on 2-26-10 with the obvious sole purpose of breaking NDA agreements with Capcom, and was subsequently banned from the forums. Don't be sad though, as this was a single purpose account that I'm sure "TheLeaker" didn't think would last long. There is, after all, a big difference between a man with a signed agreement with Capcom leaking information, and a bunch of fans on a forum spreading that information around. More after the break.


    (This is an enlarged version)

    I'm pleased to show the leaked photo again, as well as to link a new article from NowGamer that actually talks directly about Hakan.

    They go on to talk about some subtle system changes that would probably interest the group here on SRK more than any other group.

There are four welcome new stages as well, all rendered in the gorgeous 3D Street Fighter IV style, and in an old school nod, the Car Wrecking/ Barrel smashing games from Street Fighter II return to arcade mode. Better yet, its online modes will have a proper fighting lobby system with up to eight players able to band together and duke it out arcade style.
    To top it off, we have a short snippet from an interview conducted by Gamertagradio.com where Seth Killian himself gives a quick answer about when we can expect the full, official reveal on Hakan.

    It looks like it's time oil up!

      Wait. Are you asking them to clean up a pixelated, artifact-filled, low-res phone jpeg?

      Just letting you guys know that the linked article seems to have been removed. Capcom ninjas are out in full force! Is this article going to get deleted too? Though I'm not sure if they should bother at this point, with the cat out of the bag and all.
