I’m not sure what to think about this idea. Sure, Street Fighter IV is fun, but I’m not sure how fun it will be on an iPhone.  It’s a very interesting move by Capcom and one that I didn’t see coming.  As you can tell by GamePro’s hands-on demo video below, your thumbs blocks out most of the animated action while you’re trying to do some basic special moves like a fireball or hurricane kick. Two good things about this game though is that you’ll be able to play with another person with the game, wirelessly. The other good thing is that it doesn’t look like it’ll be difficult to perform an ultra combo.  Just take the revenge meter and the combo will activate. What are your thoughts guys? Will you be plopping down $9.99 on it?

Looks like an updated version of Rolento's Stage from Alpha 2

Had some hands on time with Capcom’s upcoming games. Including Super Street Fighter 4, Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Monster Hunter. Also had the chance to see some Dark Void. Hats off to Bear McCreary the soundtrack is flippin great.

Impressions after the break.

FAIL

This is just a sad, sad fail.  I hope the person with the tattoo isn’t proud of his geeky Shoryuken tattoo that he took a picture of it. *PSSST* Hey! Guy! FYI. The command for Shoryuken is Forward, Down, Down-Forward + P. That command isn’t even a Haduken.  It does nothing. Sorry you have to live with that the rest of your life.  Maybe you can ask Capcom to change the command in the game in the upcoming Super Street Fighter 4.

Deejay enters the ring with T. Hawk and Juri in this new fighter introduction video from Capcom.  With 3 of the 8 new fighters in Super Street Fighter 4 unveiled who else do you think will be entering the ring?

Have a question you’d like to ask? Ask away. All submissions will remain anonymous.

Dear Jamie,

Sincerely,
