I really hope it's just a huge DLC pack.

Twenty versions of the same SF game is soooooo 90s.

First of all, where the hell is the online update allowing for lobbies? Already talking about a sequel and they can't even get that out.:angry:

I'd hope for T. Hawk and Dee Jay as well, but yea, I hope it's DLC and not a whole new disc I'd have to shell out $60 for.

Eventhubs had a more interesting post regarding this a few days ago that references a certain post made over on SRK recently:

Rumor: Street Fighter IV Dash Characters

I know everyone hopes this will be DLC, but I see Capcom just making this a new release. Plus, I'm sure they will make more online features (quarter lobbies) given that they've got everything else fleshed out with the original SFIV release.

I'll likely buy it even if I do have to pay $60 for it.

I finally got to play SFIV and lol

What an awful game.

All eye candy, no substance.

That's my review.

Henaki on the Shoryuken.com message boards mentioned he heard through a friend of a friend of a friend that the 10 new characters for Street Fighter IV Dash (Champion Edition) are:

* From Street Fighter 2: Dee Jay and T. Hawk.
* From Street Fighter 3: Dudley, Ibuki and Makoto.
* From Street Fighter Alpha: Adon, Cody and Guy.
* Plus two completely new characters.

He claimed this information would be revealed at, or right around the time the Tokyo Game Show takes place (Sept. 24 - 27).


If if this is true, then Capcom will have my $60

Dude, given the way fucking EA and Activision pimp their franchises out every single year...I'm surprised to hear everyone in here bitch so much about a new version of SFIV with a fat load of new characters, backgrounds, who knows what else as a retail release.

Remember how much better SFA2 or SFIII-2nd Impact were over the previous games? You don't think that kind of a jump in quality is worth it? Sure takes a hell of a lot more effort than EA rolling up their sleeves every year and changing the rosters.

Then again, maybe it isn't a surprise. Heaven forbid we support a company that actually puts out shit we like.

I've heard similar rumblings from a close friend or two who have close contacts, and I'm think that above list is probably pretty close to the truth.

It wasn't just some random internet guy, but a reputable member that likely wouldn't just post bullshit without good reason. The fact that the thread was outright deleted once that information was in it is what made people raise an eyebrow. They usually just lock shit on SRK.

Still, it is a rumor. But something is bound to be announced soon directly from Capcom.

As for a whole new release, I think they have to in order to address things people want like quarter lobbies and doing some rebalancing. They probably need to rewrite stuff that they just aren't able to do with the current game. People want the world via DLC, but it just doesn't work like that. A year apart on releases isn't bad any ways if they can add all that and then some.

If they added ten new characters there is no way it could be DLC. I just hope they balance the game some too, Sagat was such a beast and El Fuerte was fucking awful.

If they took all the new characters out maybe and added dudley and urien maybe I'd actually bother playing this game again. Gouken was such an uninspired character too.

meh to sf4.

DeeJay, Dudley and Makoto are the most exciting characters to be added for me personally. If that is actually true that is. I think all of those would be great additions although I'd love to see some Alpha characters like Birdie, Karin and Charlie/Nash.

But who doesn't want a Rog vs. Dudley matchup?

I heard rumors around the time Gamestop started clearing out their copies at 20 bucks that the price reduction was meant to clear shelf space for an updated version. While I highly doubt we'll hear about another numbered entry in the series anytime soon, I'd be happy with a budget-priced release with an expanded roster.

Gouken was actually one of the more interesting characters to use. Glad he played nothing like a shoto.

Alpha and III also came out before we had internet capable systems and a way to release patches and significant upgrades.

This isnt 1996 anymore. Im not saying I wouldn't pay for it, but buying the game on disc AGAIN for 60 dollars? No thanks.

I just thought his design was a bit generic, truth be told I never even bothered using him. If anyone was to predict was gouken would look like, old guy with ponytail and half ghi thing - oh look! spot on.


El fuerte was a fucking joke too and rufus. I don't mind the game I guess but I haven't played it in like 4 months at least. I just don't get that much enjoyment from it.

If they added Guy and Cody (non hamburglar version), that would make me a happy panda.

Game was/is great and a lot of fun. I'd even pay for a full new release. It's just money, and these days not really a lot for me.

And hey, maybe SNK-P can learn a thing or two about releasing a 'bigger, better' version of a game a second time in the same year.

I think C. Viper was the most interesting new character in terms of both design and playability. She was familiar but not really like anyone else either. Same thing with Abel.

Have you payed attention to his size? He's fucking atlas! The guy is totally buff. What kind of hair were you expecting him to have? I love the bigass beard too. His alternate costume is pretty cool as well. I think as a design and playability he's a pretty sweet character.
