In a world where seven different versions of Street Fighter 2 exist (we're pretty sure it's seven, we might have lost count), does it surprise anyone that Capcom may be planning to create a sequel to the popular and well-received Street Fighter 4? On the official Japanese Street Fighter 4 blog, Capcom's Natsuki Shiozawa writes that an announcement concerning a Street Fighter 4 sequel will be made "in the near future" (via IGN).

A "near future" announcement would seem to peg it at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show, which starts next week. The bigger question, though, is exactly what kind of "sequel" this will be. Considering it's coming so soon after 4's release earlier this year, we doubt this will be Street Fighter V. Our guess? Street Fighter 4 Manic: Title Fight Version. They're really running out of synonyms at this point.

In any case, be sure to tune in to our TGS coverage next week to find out whether Capcom indeed does have any SF4 announcements in their plans.
 
I remember seeing a changelist somewhere, among the information being that 2 characters from 3rd Strike were being added. Most people just want some balance changes though (specifically Sagat and Vega).
 
DJ and T-Hawk are most likely going to be in. Mokoto and Dudley are the two most wanted 3rd Strike Characters. I just want Karin from Alpha. She is by far my favorite character from any SF.

This talk has been going on for a long time. SFIV Home Console Release in Japan wasn't that well received as it's Arcade release. An update is welcomed in open arms if they fix Sagat.
 
Nova didn't post it, but he did reveal to me one of the two over steam chat.

It's Ibuki from SF3.

This is where I found the info. I can't confirm it's reliability or anything of the like, but it sounds reasonable:

More information regarding the by now practically confirmed Street Fighter 4 Dash has been published at Event hubs.



New characters that will possibly appear in Dash are mentioned: Karin, Cody and Ibuki. Also mentioned is the possibility of adding Bonus Stages to the game.



FallenAngel on the SRK.com boards has translated a recent post from the Japanese Street Fighter 4 development blog, which they again heavily talk about an update to Street Fighter 4.

Here's the run down.





* More hints by Capcom of a Street Fighter 4 sequel, they even refer to it as SF 4 Dash, which is the Japanese name from Championship Edition.

* Shiowaza says she realizes Karin is very popular but she would like Ibuki to be added. Cody is also mentioned as a possibility.

* Someone says that the arcade version seems faster than the console release. Shiowaza answers that they both run at the same speed.

* Bonus stages (smashing the car, etc.) will probably be added in the next iteration.

* Capcom says that in Trial Mode they wanted to add a function where it would demonstrate how the combo should be done. They will add that next time.

* There are no plans for stage background music DLC right now.

* PC version automatically determines language by reading Windows language preferences. If you have Windows in English, SF4 will be installed in English. The game supports English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Korean.

* Talk about people double dipping (already bought console version, thinking about buying PC version). Capcom obviously says go for it, the extra touch brushes look great and the leaderboards are different, so you get a new start.

* A PC with all the recommended specs for SF4 will be released, at least in Japan.

* Capcom is paying attention to all the suggestions/requests posted in the blog and the internet in general.

*One question about the, "great merchandise available overseas," (It's assumed these are the Tournament Edition / Standard Edition Mad Catz sticks) Shiowaza says that Japan will have their own goods soon.

* Arcade version: Your Battle Points (BP) decrease over time if you don't play often. After a month goes by without you playing vs. fights, BP is deducted every week.

* There is no way to do blind character picks in the PC version. Shiowaza says consoles don't have this either. Championship mode has this right?

* "Compared to today's fighting games, SF4 is pretty easy to get into, but some things are still very difficult for beginners". Capcom says that it's hard to maintain a balance there.





Considering this is the third time the Japanese Development staff has heavily talked about an update to the game, you can pretty much take this as confirmation that there will be an upgrade to Street Fighter 4 released in the future.

Rumor has it that the game will be officially revealed to players at this year's Super Battle Opera (Tougeki), which takes place from August 14 - 16.

An update is good. A $60 sequel isn't. At least for me. I bought SFIV unfortunately. :-\
