Pre-order Costumes Trailer

۝ New Characters! ۝

Rolento, Hugo, Elena and Poison joins the cast. Being from another fighter nobody plays anymore, they want in on the fun.
Decapre is the only "new" character. The evil twin of Cammy had enough of her BS and wants scrubs to use her instead.

۝ New Stages! ۝
And by new I mean Capcom's meaning of new. Ripped straight from another game they've made! As with the "New Challengers", these stages are also from Street X Tekken.

۝ New Gameplay Mechanics! ۝

☀ Double Ultra Combo - Now players can choose to use both Ultra Combos during a match at the cost of less damage. Unless you're a Deejay player, you'll need all the damage you can get there.

☀ Delayed Wakeup - Scared of crazy muh fuggahs rushing you down? Just play dead for a split second. It might just save your life.Then you get up and unleash some demons on them. Or get knocked down again.

☀ Red Focus Attack - At the cost of two meters, three for cancelling, you can use this nifty new badass tool to absorb multiple hits of non armor breaking stuff and even at the lowest level, your opponent will be like, ow, and stunned.
Examples below. It can be charged up to three levels as like the regular focus attack but has the same problems like getting thrown and is prone to armor breaking moves.

Like I said, even at the lowest level you can put a hurting on your opponent. This opens up what you can call easy mode into Ultras. Examples below once again.

۝ New Modes! ۝

☀ Elimination - An upgraded version of Online Team Battle Mode. Think King of Fighters.

☀ Online Training - Now you get to beat up or get beaten up by someone indefinitely until you both get tired of each other and call it a night.

☀ Edition Select - Edition Select Trailer - For offline versus play only. You get to choose which edition of characters to play as. Something something Tiger Uppercut ow.

۝ Various other little things -
‣ Players can upload both online and offline matches directly to Youtube on their own channel. But Only in 480p. Capcom isn't made of money you know.
‣ Network simulation is added to training mode to help online warriors practice against Dahbomb and God's Beard like internet lag. Up to 20 frames of lag can be simulated.
‣ Save and reloading states lets you pause and reload certain conditions you see fit for training purposes.
‣ Training Mode Fight Request is added just for the hell of it.
‣ Button configuration during character select is added to help shave off precious tournament time and the likes.

And finally......

۝ Changes
Every single character has gotten buffed or nerfed in some way. Full change list can be seen here.

For example. Ryu can now focus attack dash cancel into his second Ultra.

A big thank you to......

 

[cZarKastic]

I'm guessing still no word if they're planning on bringing to the next gen consoles.

 

[Tesseract]

hell yes, enter ultra.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Why is this being posted more than a week before the game's out?

 

[abstract alien]

The god of fighting games. I'll take it.

 

[Mike M]

Pre-order from Amazon, Gamestop and directly from Live/PSN and get goofy looking getups for the "new" characters.

Wait, what? How do you pre order DLC from Live?

 

[direct_quote]

All aboard the Yun train...

 

[PAULINK]

Why is this being posted more than a week before the game's out?

This was what i was kind of confused about. Then again, I am surprised at how soon the digital upgrade is coming out as well.

 

[Silky]

Ready for the 3rd.

PSN / XBL: UncannySilk
Twitch: http://twitch.tv/thesilkiest.

Looking forward to streaming me jobbing to a bunch of online warriors.

 

[m_shortpants]

PC users am cry

 

[h3ro]

Those Sagat nerfs hurt.

 

[InfiniteNine]

PC users am cry

I'm cool I can wait.

I was confused for a second seeing Kasumi replacing Chun in those gifs though.

 

[CountAntonius]

Sure had a lot of fun with this franchise. Nice to see it's still going.

 

[Passive Assassin]

fuck the white theme! black theme 4 lyfe!

 

[toddhunter]

Not sure what voodoo is going on with the Ultra word in the title, but I don't think it shows up in the search function.

Gifs are great though, can add Segallion to the PC list if you like (thought it was console only for now).

 

[Tesseract]

are we posting our info here? someone start a google doc.

 

[Nabs]

PC users am cry

Waiting a few months for a GFWL-less version ain't so bad. There's also a chance they test the waters by cleaning up the current versions of AE by removing it.

 

[Uthred]

Isnt the PC digital upgrade also out 08/08 ?

 

[BakedYams]

im ready to get bodied!

Spoiler

Kappa

 

[Vice]

Coul you add me to the list?

Vice: PSN: Javelin Fangz7 Steam: Magic Mike661

 

[Roche]

Can't wait for this, I'm liking the Ibuki changes quite a bit. And I totally wanna play some Wizard Rolento haha.

 

[Aeana]

It seems like this is two weeks away, so this is too early.

 

[Shouta]

Opened again since it's a week from the US release.

Also, you could've done a better job with this OT. =|

It's all square boxes in Chrome.

 

[Artanisix]

This. Looks kinda awk.

 

[Bob White]

Rip Dhalsim.

Spoiler

I hope 6 months from now this is quoted because of how wrong I was. You know, since Sim will have new tech that makes him top 5

 

[Kadey]

Thanks Shouta. Yeah. A lot of the ascii stuff can only be seen on Firefox. I'll fix some things so everybody can see it.

 

[DR2K]

Shit need to pre-order.

 

[explodet]

Wondering if I should get out of forced retirement for this as I've got some free time coming up.
I could learn Elena as she was my main in 3rd - but the prospect of oiling up fools online sounds hard to resist.

 

[Pics_nao]

Good god those gifs confused the hell out of me >_>

Anyway, Juri is good this time around right?

 

[LowParry]

Hmmmmm. I miss playing Vega. But I haven't played since Super. There still a good community on PS3?

 

[OceanBlue]

Shit need to pre-order.

Oh yeah, I need to stop being lazy and do this. Preordering a digital upgrade is so weird.

PSN netplay though.

 

[DigitalRicket]

Is it possible to pre-order the upgrade for Super on PSN so I could also get the extra outfits?

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

Which costumes are Chun-Li and Viper wearing in the gifs for Red Focus Attack?

 

[JBourne]

 

[Conceited]

OT looks like poop in Chrome

 

[ec0ec0]

All aboard the Yun train...

Kazunoko already won EVO.

 

[MarkMan]

^.^

 

[SiegfriedFM]

Seems like there are Dead or Alive crossover outfits.

 

[rmanthorp]

Is color select in this game or are those just crazy mods? What's going on!?

 

[Cloudy]

SF4:AE is free on XBL in June right? Good timing for this and I'll definitely upgrade

 

[kasane]

so can i get the digital upgrade if i have the disc ver.?

 

[DR2K]

Seems like there are Dead or Alive crossover outfits.

Nah that's a modded pc

 

[Gildarts]

aaaaawww yesss ryus metsu shoryuken finally getting usefull

 

[Bucca]

so can i get the digital upgrade if i have the disc ver.?

For $15, yes. It's like a DLC add-on.

 

[Mike M]

Is it possible to pre-order the upgrade for Super on PSN so I could also get the extra outfits?

It's possible to preorder, and I *think* it gets you the costumes.

No idea how or if you're supposed to do it on XBLA : /

 

[kasane]

For $15, yes. It's like a DLC add-on.

im thinking about getting the retail since it has all the costumes

Spoiler

capcom pls

 

[Bucca]

capcom pls

That's what I'm definitely doing. I had Super on retail and did the digital upgrade for AE.

All those costumes for a $40 retail release is a pretty damn good deal though.

And DAT COVER ART.
