Introducing the New Modes of Super Street Fighter IV
Do These Four New Wrinkles Merit a Full Game Release?
by Sean

The debate over whether or not Super Street Fighter IV needed to be a full release or if it could have just been DLC rages on. While some argue that Capcom has a long history of "supporting" the franchise by releasing new games with "Super", "Turbo", or other extreme adjectives in the title, others maintain that this model is essentially antiquated in the modern console generation. Perhaps out of a perceived need to defend the game's eventual retail release, Capcom has delivered a new video showing off the four new game modes that will be part of SSFIV, including the long-awaited car-attack bonus stage.
I feel pretty confident in saying that the people who feel that the Super part of Street Fighter IV should have just been DLC will not really be won over by the addition of team battles, a replay channel, or endless battles. Still, it's good to see that the developer is at least making the effort to deliver a game that is a different enough experience from the original IV. Personally I'm excited for this game, although I was excited before seeing this. How about you? Feeling Super yet?

I really need to see the other new characters before I make my decision.
Adon, Juni/Juli, Guy, Sean=Purchase. Sodom, Alex, Skullomania, Cody=No purchase.
Juri, T. Hawk, and Dee Jay for starters are decent.... with around 5 more characters to be revealed, I'm wagering on the percentage of cool to be higher than the percentage of suck.
