On September 29th, 5pm Japan time, Capcom will be introducing a new fighter to Street Fighter 4. (Here comes a new challenger!) A new teaser page has gone up to get your mouths wet. Some people have already been speculating about Deejay and T.hawk coming back. But more espcially T.Hawk because of a photo from Gamepro Germany.

If it’s not Deejay or T.Hawk, who do you guys think it’ll be?
Photos from Shoryuken forum troll, ohgee, snapped the photo above of a new Street Fighter 4 tournament stick design. It looks like Madcatz and GameStop will be pushing out more tournament stick and gamepad designs for you fighting game junkies. For more photos of the new designs, go past the break. There is also a (Disney/)Marvel VS Capcom 2 design. (more…)
In Capcoms debut PAX appearance, Capcom will be coming out of the gate with an exclusive tournament stick and a Street fighter 4 T-Shirt. If you don’t have a PAX ticket, then you’re already shit out of luck.
The Street Fighter 4 tournament stick will feature the women from SF4 and have a purple trim for your girly, gay, or metro side of you.
The other item they will be selling is a different color combination of a unique SF4 shirt design. The shirt is designed to look like an old boxing match flier between Vega and Balrog. The color combination might be a gray background with blue ink.
The tournament stick will be going for a wallet burning $159.99. We aren’t sure yet on the price of the shirt. If you want any of these limited edition items, get your butt over to the Capcom booth early.
Oh and if you see some guy demo-ing Monster Hunter, tell him “Jamie isn’t even being cool anymore.”
I’m not a fan of Auto-Tuned music. The style seems so cheap to me. But when it is used to help you understand the news or in this case, gives you some pro tips on how to use Chun-Li from Street Fighter 4, I don’t mind one bit. Check out the video below to educate yourself.
Watch how the Grand Street Fighter 4 finals at EVO 2009 unfolded
To see the last 2 parts, go past the break (more…)
To sum up Paradise Hills Showdown 3.1 in one word, it would be unexpected. When I found out that the tournament was going to be held at someones house a.k.a “dojo”, already my mind was prepared for a small tournament with less than 20 people. When entering the “dojo” 2 hours late, there was a lot more than 20 people. There was so many people that a full bracket of 64 players were signed up and playing. Inside the family room, there where 4 TVs and 4 PS3s setup. In the backyard, there were 3 more TVs and PS3s. The place was filled with that competitive “smell” and excitement.
People from all over southern California came down to the event for the fun and excitement. But what were all these fighters playing for? $400 in cash. Go past the break to watch the Grand 1v1 Finals between Somuchdamage (Los Angeles) and ShadyK (San Diego) and photos from the event. (more…)
A special charity event was being held at the Evil Controllers booth in E3. They invited Justin Wong, 2009 Street Fighter 4 National Champion, to fight against anyone who wanted an ass kicking. For each match Justin won, one can of food was donated to the LA Food Bank. If someone would actually beat Justin, 10 cans would be given. It’s a win win for the LA Food Bank. But not only was Justin winning for charity. He was also breaking his record in the Guinness Book of World Records for most consecutive wins against an opponent that was physically next to him and not playing online.
I got a chance to play against the legendary Justin Wong. How did I do? Lets just say I was happy to donate that one can of food to the LA food bank. In the end, just broke his record on the first day of E3 and racked up around 300 or so wins.
Congratualtions to Justin Wong, Evil Controllers, and the LA Food Bank for wins all around!
Dear Jamie,
I’ve been playing STREET FIGHTER since it FIRST CAME OUT. SERIOUSLY I’ve been playing forever. It pisses me off to see all these little kids winning all these god damn tournaments when I’ve been playing this god damn game for the PAST TWENTY YEARS! I know that I’m better than them, but I just think I might be too old to go to those tournaments. They keep talking about these little Asian kids with their fancy moves and fancy controllers but I know I can beat them EASILY. What the FUCK?!
Sincerely,
KO
At 7 PM EST/01:00 AM CET, one of our friend blogs Lo3 podcast will be on the air live with national Street Fighter 4 champion, Justin Wong, and SF4 tournament organizer Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez.
“We will talk with Wong and Gutierrez about this past weekend’s event, Wong’s road to the US title, his match with Daigo, and thoughts on the international competition in general. We’ll go over the inagural Bar Fights event, and preview this weekend’s WCG tournament in NYC and if we should expect any upsets. We’ll cover all aspects of Street Fighter 4 itself, including balancing issues, character choices, different playstyles around the country, the upcoming Championship Edition update to be released, and Capcom’s stance on competitive gaming.”
