Although it has yet to be made official, we've already heard some talk of a Street Fighter IV (PS3, Xbox 360) sequel from Capcom Japan. Now rumors are going around that the "sequel" in question is actually Super Street Fighter IV. What's more, we may be hearing something about it within the next two days.

Word of a Monday announcement originated from this tweet on Capcom's official Twitter page, made in response to someone asking if any SSFIV news would be coming out during the weekend:

Monday may not be the day, however. There's a teaser site that's just gone live as well, but the opening date branded on it is September 29. more specifically, at 5PM Japan time. The url --  http://www.capcom.co.jp/newwarrior/index.html -- certainly adds more weight to the sequel rumor.

As for how Super Street Fighter IV became a topic of discussion, well, apparently it was shown to members of the press behind closed doors at TGS. And then there's this picture spotted on GamePro Germany:

Notice the arrows? The red one points to a character who looks just like a Street Fighter IV version of T. Hawk. The blue arrow, on the other hand, points to the "S" clearly seen behind the "Street Fighter" logo. Add all those together and you've got yourself a Super Street Fighter IV rumor.

That's T.Hawk alright. Guess we can look forward to 1hit insta-kill throws starting tomorrow!

» I should have seen this coming

I hope they give an update for the regular version with the new modes, characters, stages and such.

» I hope so too

I also hope they don't make us buy a new game for just 1 character or two!

Guys, we're talking about Capcom here, aren't we? You know, the guys who make you pay for worthless "downloadable" Street Fighter IV costumes?



The guys who make you pay for some stupid Resident Evil V online modes that should definitely have been included with the game.



The guys who make 3 versions of the same Mega Man Star Force game, with only a few minor differences between the games.



Etc...



So, yeah, do you still have any hope? If so, you're very naive...



And anyway, who the heck would spell "maybe" "MEBBE"?! Someone retarded, most likely?

T. Hawk was always a crap character anyways. Maybe they've improved him like they steadily improved Zangief but I ain't getting my hopes up.

You forgot to mention.



The guys who made versions of Street Fighter 2 after Street Fighter 2 with minor adjustments, especially SF2 Turbo Hyper Fighting which did nothing more but add a speed modifier and make Bison, Balrog, Sagat, and Vega playable. Characters who were already in the game on the original Street Fighter 2 but unplayable until Capcom forced everyone to buy the next version.

I thought we were over teh idea of releasing minor upgrades to a game as a whole package.... this NEEDS to be DLC else it will fall flat on it's ass everywhere except Japan.
