Street Fighter IV TGS trailers, Sakura makes the cut

Posted on October 9th, 2008 at 20:41 EDT

Shou'ouken! Sakura returns to fight another day in the upcoming Capcom fireball-em-up sequel, Street Fighter IV.

The Japanese Schoolgirl/Ryu fan from the Street Fighter Alpha/Rival School series was confirmed in a couple of new trailers, and was also featured in this weeks Famitsu, the Japanese Gaming Bible. There is a gameplay trailer here, which our resident Japanese guy tells us is 'kawaii desu ne' (she's cute) and 'sugoi' (awesome).

She joins the already announced home console characters of Akuma, Gouken (Ryu and Ken's master, Akuma's brother. Also known as Shenglong for people old enough to know who/what that is), Dan, Cammy, and possibly Fei Long.

Also, here is the new trailer, which only makes the wait for the games release harder. A particular highlight, though, is Dan's momentary appearance squating on top of a corner post. His expression and overall design seems very reminiscent of his Super Puzzle Fighter II appearance. This is pleasing.

Street Fighter IV is slowly making its way to arcades as we speak, but won't be on home consoles for at least another two to three months.

The trailers are embedded below.

yay! I've been crossing my fingers that Sakura would make it into the game ever since it was announced.

I think the cell shading looks good, but the game ruins it with the camera movement. Particularly during special moves, the camera moves in and spins around the character, what's the deal with that. What they should have done is lock the camera in place and allow it to pan and zoom only. That would have dramatically increased the "2d" feel of the game.
