"While no details of the story have been revealed yet, it was revealed in the January 2008 issue of EGM that the game will take place in between Street Fighter II and Street Fighter III making it (storywise) a sequel to the former and a prequel to the latter."

It's too soon to create a list of characters. The initial 4 are mentioned in a simple sentence - when a fuller roster is revealed, then we can list it. Just 4 is too few to provide an entire list for. JAF1970 ( talk) 15:32, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
It's only available to members of the game media, so I can't link to it, but I can copy/past it. It confirms everything from the 1-up article, though it states it a bit more clearly. I'm gonna rework the article a bit to incorporate the information more cleanly, using the 1-up article as a referance, since I don't think the press release can really be referanced.
* 2D/3D fighting environments * Classic Street Fighter characters re-imagined for a new generation of gamers * New special moves that go beyond any Street Fighter fan's wildest imagination * Amazing locations never seen before in a Street Fighter game * New gameplay elements provide new challenges for both newcomers and the most seasoned Street Fighter pro.
And there you go! There's also a higher-res version of the logo, but I think the one I uploaded before is fine.

Could somebody add this to the article in a "encyclopedic" way ?
-Producer is Yoshinori Ono, who worked on SF Alpha, SF III, and oversaw Capcom Fighting Revolution
-Ono wants it to be the "second coming" of SF II. Wants it to feel like "homecoming" for SF II fans.
-Online play is planned with potential for microtransactions such as new characters and stages
-The look is not really similiar to the teaser trailer. A "cartoon-shaded style that manages to evoke SF II reimagined in 3d"
- runs in 60FPS
- Gameplay sticking with 2D- Ono wants to "preserve the strategic nature of SF II"
-camera doesn't budge
- Trying to get "as many SFII characters in as possible"
- Takes place after SFII Turbo and before SF III
-Controls are traditional- "in its current early state, the game feels remarkably close to Super SFII Turbo"
- Game is more aggressive- more about attacking than defending. Many of the SF III and Alpha gameplay systems have been scrapped.
- Producer says they haven't decided what platforms or even if there will be an arcade version. Version Shane played was running on a P.C
- Ono suggests Capcom could make a PS2 or DS version if "they deem the market suitable"
-Ono not enthusiastic about making it an exclusive- wants to get it out on as many platforms as possible

So far, there is no evidence that he will appear in Street Fighter IV; no pictures, no magazine articles, not even a statement by Ono or any person involved in the production of the game.
Therefore, I removed his name from the "confirmed characters" list. When there is a reliable source about his inclusion, then we can add him back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.107.4.202 ( talk) 12:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't worry about it to much. From what I read about Bison coming back from hell, and the story takes place after SSFII Turbo. It is very very most likely that Akuma will appear in this game. Lasttiger ( talk) 00:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello, this post is in response to a request at the videogame project assessment department. I've rated the article as start-class low importance, it's evolved beyond a stub, though more solid details are going to be needed for the article to progress - keeping the article stable and referenced in the meantime is as much as anyone can do. There's little else to suggest at this point in time, when the article has developed further please resubmit the article for assessment. Someone another 15:14, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I think it is entirely unreasonable that people insist on removing the link to the StrategyWiki link to the SFIV guide. Yes the game is still under development. But if the argument that the link is no good because the game is under development, than the whole article on WP is just as worthless, and yet it is allowed to exist. The whole point of a wiki is that when new information becomes available, an article and/or guide can be immediately corrected. So there's no legitimate reason to deny users with a link to the StrategyWiki in case they wish to update information that falls outside the scope of WP, such as moves or character bios. While the game is not officially released, the information could still be very useful to any player who is lucky enough to play the game at a test location. I insist that the decision to remove the link be reversed, as other people have clearly been in support of its usefulness. Plotor ( talk) 15:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Out of curiosity, under what jurisdiction are you entitled to make the decision over whether or not the link should be included, and I am not? Why is my contribution to provide the link less valid than your edit to remove it? Plotor ( talk) 19:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
StrategyWiki is not only for game "walkthroughs," they also cover all the minutiae that doesn't belong in wikipedia that people looking up information about the game may still find useful. It isn't a crystal ball and doesn't tell what will be there in the future from rumours, it consolidates all the released information about a game in a more wiki-like format. Beyond that, it will have essentially the same drawbacks and benefits as wikipedia itself. I have readded the link now, it would be beneficial to get some other peoples views on the issue. -- Prod ( Talk) 17:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
1)The storyline for SFIV was revealed at AOU 2008...
http://arcadeheaven.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/aou2008-sf4d.jpg
http://arcadeheroes.com/2008/02/15/aou-pamphlets-of-street-fighter-iv-blazblue-jubeat-more/
...yet whoever wrote the current Wiki article wants to act as if no story information has been revealed yet.
2) Rufus has been revealed, and is listed in the character section, but just above it the character info states that only 3 new characters have been revealed. Pretty contradicting and confusing to people who are trying to get accurate information on SFIV.
3) Akuma was confimred by Consoles+, he's listed in the FAQ section of Capcom's official BBS forums (which the Capcom employees on there can edit) yet he's not listed in the article.
http://www.capcom.com/BBS/showthread.php?t=21031
4) There's mention of Gouken being in SFIV, but not under the Character(s) heading, but rather the setting, as if Gouken was a stage or location or something.
5) In the 1UP interview with Ono he states that in terms of SF2 characters that they were focusing on the twelve characters from Street Fighter II Turbo, yet this article implies that all 17 characters from Super Turbo could be in the game, which isn't the case.
Reference #14 - used to confirm Sagat and Bison - doesn't seem to link anywhere. I'd change the link myself but this page looks quite complicated and since I haven't contributed myself I don't want to accidently screw anything up. I thought I'd better mention it here. Is that forums link strong enough to confirm all of the characters it lists? I'm not a member myself. Dunjohn ( talk) 19:40, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

In SF story what is true today tomorrow isn't. I think nobody can do a SF story; the only thing possible is to show the various retcons that were made during the game releases. Anyway, this seems to follow more the EX universe than anything else. 84.90.24.156 ( talk) 20:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
It has already been explained on the official Capcom Japan and USA websites that Bison did die and went to hell and back (in a new body). They also stated that you have to finish the game to get a more detailed explanation. Megata Sanshiro ( talk) 21:22, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
To get a more detailed explanation of why this game is just a SFII rehash, if you ask me...-- Kim Kusanagi ( talk) 18:14, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't think it's a rehash at all, but rather a continuation of SF2 that completely explains what hapened between SF2 and 3. Especially seeing as how there alot of things to be explained here. Fan's desperately wanted answers and now they get them with all the characters they love and more yet they still can't be happy. Please, don't do the simple minded/never satisfied thing I'm seeing so much of on Youtube. Just wait for the game to come out. Please? Sabishii_Kage ( talk) 05:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
There was no need to explain what happened between SF2 and SF3. Shadaloo is shut down, someone else steps in. I'm sick and tired of these conspiracy theories that people keep making up between Gill and Bison. I am a hardcore SF player and I don't need answers for questions I never made, and I find disgusting how much of a throwback the game engine and roster is turning out to be. I don't need to wait until they release a piece of crap to label it as such.-- Kim Kusanagi ( talk) 22:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
People are assuming this will be the only game between SF2 and SF3, which may not be true… so, any link with SF3 might not happen at all 84.90.24.156 ( talk) 20:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Whoa whoa, I mean I agree with you somewhat, I guess. Maybe it is that simple. However, maybe it's not. And I didn't say there was a connection to Gill and Bison, I was saying that the characters from SF2 disapeared out of nowhere except for some. Yes AT THE TIME it was because they wanted a brand new game with new characters but now they have explaining to do whether they like it or not (They are including SF2 characters after all). And who is Q? What's Remy's (And Gill's) connection to Alex? Yes I know Alex was considered by Gill to be the next Messiah but I think there might be more to it. Why are Necro's abbilities suprisingly similar to Dhalsim's (Stretching limbs, mid-air plumetting foot driling moves)? Things like that. Not to mention if Shadaloo is just "shut down" and Bison was defeated what's keeping him from ressurecting himself like he has done before. Now they show that he has so NOW they can show how he's not going to be able to do it again. And what's wrong with the character roster and the game's engine? People keep coming up with all of these negatives for the game like this and THAT is the only thing that I find "disgusting". Back in the day people would have just been happy that Capcom was trying their best to make the next Street Fighter, now if everyone is not happy and every little thing isn't perfect to them then the game is considered pointless and crappy. The graphics ARE good, the engine looks solid and seems to make 2D work perfectly in 3D unlike the EX or KOF MI/2006 series, and the new characters (So far anyways) are at LEAST entertaining. I mean we need negatives to make the game better but you can't just sit there and ONLY focus on negatives. I have friends who see this game and it makes them feel happy and excited, but then we have completely negative people like you who ruin it for them. Not to mention this is only a first attempt at next gen SF so give them a break for God's sakes. Thing's like this keep me from being a video game developer... As for the other comment: As I said you may be right but you also may be wrong. So far I'd say it is the only one. We'll just have to wait. Sabishii_Kage ( talk) 10:01, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
"They are including SF2 caracters after all". No kidding! This is SFII all over again, and anyone who says it is not is a blatant idiot for not realizing it has the same chars, same stages, same BGMs and same damn engine. Why can't Ohnoes get over SFII is beyond me, but what is evident is that he's an imbecile. Who's Q? Who's Remy's dad? Who cares? Do we need a PREQUEL to learn such trivial facts? Why are Necro's skills similar to DahSlim? WTF? Why are then Remy's skills similar to Guile's then!? Why are Ken's similar to Ryu's! They aren't even that similar to begin with and then again, so what if they're alike! It's for gaming reasons! How can Bison revive WITHOUT a soul? Oh yeah, with OHNOES stupid retcons! And since he has the control now he's gonna make that stupid red pajama man unkillable and appear in every CRAPCOM FG until he retires or dies from the company. And no, I cannot accept first tries in a SF game. It has to shine from the start and not rely in consumers buying updates, this is not 1996 anymore. The graphics are Budokai-ish, the engine is stupid, the storyline and cast is idiotic, CRAPCOM is not doing their best to make this game good and I'm offended that a stupid SFII-only scrub is in charge of making this game and diregarding the much better SFA and SFIII series.-- Kim Kusanagi ( talk) 22:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Bored and hopped up on rockstar so I made some edits.
1) Ono confirmed to EGM in their June 2008 issue that DIMPS is in fact developing SFIV, despite Capcom's earlier insistence that DIMPS was not involved in the project. Discussion can be viewed here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=288496&highlight=dimps+sfiv

Famitsu has revealed the official artworks for Rufus and Seth: http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1215415_1124.html
Since Abel, El Fuerte and Crimson Viper already have their artworks in this page, shouldn't Rufus and Seth have their ones as well? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.107.4.202 ( talk) 17:20, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree. If you're bothering with putting the new character artworks on the page why has nobody added Rufus and Seth? Sabishii_Kage ( talk) 07:34, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
I have another question. What about the announced PC version? Will it just have the arcade cast of characters or will it share the console version's cast? Anyone know? As for speculation of whether Akuma, Dee Jay, Cammy, or T. Hawk hitting the console version there is no doubt. If Fei Long is then no doubt the rest of them are as well. It wouldn't make sense to a lot of SF fans if they just suddenly disappeared after SSF2T. The people behind SFIV have been interested in getting in as many characters as they can and besides, Akuma is a fan fav that has been strongly rumored/wanted and Capcom is interested in putting in more female characters which no doubt, is probably going to include Cammy. Rest assured the SSF2T cast is probably all going to be in here. But we'll have to wait for official sources just to be sure. Still, anyone know about the PC versions cast? Vgamer101 ( talk) 03:02, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
I know this is very vague, but I came across a forum with this page linked to it: http://www.capcom.co.jp/sf4/mobile/index.html If you scroll down the page you can see small mug-shot art of characters from SFIV Notice after Crimson Viper? It looks like there are even more new characters to be announced. I know it's in Japanese and all, but if I come across a better translated/legit page about this I will get back to you all. Sabishii_Kage ( talk) 09:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
You are right but they haven't been identified yet. Lasttiger ( talk) 21:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
All right, should I delete this section I created or what? Probably just waisting space. Sabishii_Kage ( talk) 18:17, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
From what I can see, that's looks like the last of the roster. All though Akuma isn't listed, he is still probably in it. Lasttiger ( talk) 20:05, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Yea, I agree. People keep asking about Akuma and nothing has been confirmed but you can tell he's bound to be in there; whether it be consule exclusive or downloadable. Sabishii_Kage ( talk) 23:18, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm guessing since that Fei Long and Dan along with Dudley, Necro, R. Mika, Sakura, and Ibuki. Those are going to be the console characters. But other than Akuma and the other original Street Fighters, pretty much everyone else is going to be new in the arcade version. Lasttiger ( talk) 05:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
I looked in to that, and some of those are actually background characters. Lasttiger ( talk) 20:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Until Dan and Fei Long have actually been confirmed as characters, they should have no place in the article as confirmed characters. Any arguments? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.59.150 ( talk) 19:23, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Agreed. All concept art usually means anyway is that they have worked on the character's model and animations/moves/story to the point that they are without a doubt GOING to be in the game. The creator has confirmed the characters however; that's plenty enough to add it to the page in my oppinion. Sabishii_Kage ( talk) 21:17, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
It is hard to tell people that they are in the game. Find many sources but they won't accept it through their thick skulls/ Here is the official site. If he doesn't believe me, then this guy is being selective 76.102.134.232 ( talk) 00:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

A person I was talking to on Youtube through video posting claims that he heard that Rufus is based off of a character from Slam Masters. He said he forgot what the name of the character is but he said the similarities between the two are quite obvious. Anybody else heard anything like this before? And if so which character does he mean? I don't doubt that it's true myself though seeing as how Biff Slamkovich from Slam Masters in my oppinion looks suprisingly like Alex and shares a move (Flash Chop) with him. Sabishii_Kage ( talk) 05:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Wow thanks for the quick reply! Ok just wanted to know. Yes I agree for the most part. I personally enjoy his character: He's an overweight American using (What sems to be) Kung-Fu who thinks he has the ability to defeat Ken. But no, people for now; possibly from now on will just continue to know him as "That fat thing". Poor Capcom, nothing they can do is good enough for some I guess.

Because It looks like this is the last of the Roster if you ask me. Lasttiger ( talk) 20:21, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
So SFIV has finally been released in Japanese arcades and that's the base cast? Reason I'm asking is that I know July 2008 was supposed to be the Japanese arcade release for it, which is now, and I seen the intro video with Akuma in there, but not in gameplay videos. He's in there right?
Just as well, Capcom is taking votes on their blog for new characters in the home releases. Is it any kind of idea to maybe recreate the third column for characters exclusive to home releases or is there something in the text of the article mentioning the possiblity of exclusive characters? I didn't read the whole article. Vgamer101 ( talk) 01:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Guy ,Charlie,Akuma and Gen should be in the game as well as Grimmjow!!! Grimmjow E6 ( talk) 15:54, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure that AT LEAST Akuma is going to end up in the main game roster by the time the game's finished.
Furthermore Kim you seriously have an anger/hatred issue (or at least you talk with hatred). Just because Capcom doesn't do what YOU like (or gamefaqs or gamespot) doesn't mean they deserve to have you bash them. And to go on with my earlier argument sense I can't edit older discussions: Yes, some people might like a prequel to explain things. Ryu and Ken's moves are the same because they where trained by the same master, unlike Necro who has nothing to do with Dhalsim. As for Remy yea good point, hints why many people thought he was Charlie's son. And just because you think Bison is "That pajama wearing guy who keeps comming back" (wherever the heck that childish crack came from) doesn't mean other people do. I love Bison; he is one of my favorite 2D fighting bosses of all time. So what if it seems like Budokai? Budokai's engine is a very well made 2.5D engine. The graphics ARE good and the gameplay looks very solid. I'll argue that untill it is released and hopefully after as well. However at least fan's who didn't like the game still wouldn't bash it before it was even realeased. Also fine, if you want to be like that then go ahead, you must be dissapointed often I guess. Video Game companies are not going to be able to make every little fan happy. It's THEIR company so they can do whatever they want to do; get over it. Or hey, don't get over it, complain some more. I'm a huge Capcom fan and I can accept this game even if it sucked, so why can't you? Capcom Fighting Evolution wasn't great, but I didn't whine and complain about it. Then again, with a name like Kim Kusanagi you could very well be an SNK fan that came here to bash the latest Capcom game, but anyway. I love SFA and III too, but someone could EASILY do the same thing as you and say that Alpha and III are past their prime. I can't wait to play this game, and that game is the new addition to the SF series that has less than half the origonal SF team working on it and STILL looks good: Street Fighter 4.

First, it's true, I used to have anger related issues. So what, big deal. About the second thing, when you screw things up, you deserved to be bashed and even physically punished. And no, no one formulates questions about uncovered things. CRAPCOM is trying to create a plothole where there weren't any. They could have perfectly created new interesting characters to replace the old boring ones but NOOO we have to put our stupidest employee in charge who also happens to play only SFII and suck at the rest. Third, Budokai is not any good at all. Fourth, just because you produce anything, it means you can poo your product years later, that's ridiculous, you're just a suck up yes man if you swallow anything they send to you and put aside your taste, pride and dignity.

Um that is your opinion i belive DBZ tenchaichi 3 and the last of the original bodikai for the PS2 bodikai 3 is just as good as virtua fighter, tekken, DOA and other well known fighting games. So come into reality and notice that everything you think is fact that is just base on what you think is highly unimpaortant and is mediocre in the eyes of others that actually do research on the subject. You havent even stated anything about the game itself you just started of by saying “thats a crappy series″ OR its “not any good″ LOL. Anyway even if you did your research with hardcore evidence that say these games “suck huge balls″ or is “poo″ and the games are a “craptistic series″ and user Sabishi Kage is indeed a “suck up″ and a “yes man″ that is not neaded here on wikipedia. And also if you two are going to start an edit war over something that is not even related to this article and is childish as Kim Kusanagi paragraph maybe you two should exchange your yahoo user names or myspace user names or whatever to argue. BUT not here on this DISSCUSSION PAGE. And Kim Kusanagi “when you screw things up, you deserved to be bashed and even physically punished″......WOW you need therapy about child hood realated issues buddy, mabey its because of your dad, your mom or possibly your grandfather beating on you? That is obviously some words said by someone that needs help mentaly most likely due to incidents done when you were a child. I mean, who say or even type something like that? You have only added a useless sentence to this page until you came up with this paragraph that shows you have anger issues, you used to get beaten on and you belive what you say goes without any research (more clearly without say) “Get your facts straight″ LOL ......, Grimmjow E6 ( talk) 05:17, 2 August 2008 (UTC).
If you are a serious FG player (of course you're not), you know how badly DBZ sucks. And it does NOT by any means feature high level play like VF or Tekken. Stop pretending. BTW, my aggressive nature is not due to childhood related issues, because I was raised just fine, and I was taught to call things by their name. Ono is an imbecile and I would say it straght in his face if I had to meet him.

You have simply argued your opinion (which I disagree with) in a rude and simple minded way while resorting to things like saying I need help and my childhood was screwed up. My parents are practically saints compared to most parents and I love them very much. You don't know anything about me but obviously I guessed many things right about you. And my facts are perfectly straight thanks. Yes, I am a serious FG player but not in the "everything has to have certain amounts of combos and quickness or whatever, or the gameplay isn't tight enough!" like you are.

IGN has confirmed that Cammy is in the game. It was confirmed at Comic-Con. [4] It is not stated which make of the game she will be in, though given her popularity, I have placed her in the returning characters section. -- Plasma Twa 2 07:25, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
It's pretty obvious that she'll be in the game, but it's still not officially confirmed by Capcom, just like Akuma and Gouken, so I think Cammy shouldn't be added until that to the article. Tho the comiccon stuff about the poll and trailer should be in, definitely. --TaZaR 19:14, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
He also said that the game already has an early version of Cammy. And the video had Cammy's storyline in it, and Ono said, they wouldn't highlight a character in a video, if they won't add it into the game. So yes, there's a slight chance for that she doesn't makes it into the game, but from what we know it's 99% sure, that Cammy's in, so let's add her back to the list. --TaZaR 16:17, 31 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by TaZaR ( talk • contribs)

According to the official site (and the Japanese Wikipedia article), the arcade version of the game itself already has an online feature. In fact, it uses the NESYS card system. Jonny2x4 ( talk) 02:40, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
I've come into a dispute with user Jonny2x4 on whether the timeline setting for the game is a determinant factor to its roster.
He insists in stating that "The game is set between SF2 and SF3, thus its roster is that of SF2', plus 4 new characters" (which makes 75% of the roster from SF2).
I know there's a relationship, but it's not that SF games necessarily adopt the roster of the game they precede. At the time of its release, SF3 was a sequel to SF2 and its roster has nothing in common with that of SF2, except for Ryu and Ken.
The reason for SFIV's character selection is that SFIV was somewhat meant to be a hi-tech reedit of SF2 (I haven't had the time to look for a source). Initially, they were headed to recreating the SSF2 roster, but they finally dropped the SSF2 characters and set for SF2'. uKER ( talk) 20:49, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Chronologically set between the Street Fighter II series and the Street Fighter III series, Street Fighter IV was initially meant as a return to the series' roots, ie Super Street Fighter II Turbo, which Ono considers to be "the king of Street Fighter games".

While it's existence is confirmed it's details I think are not.

This has not been cited and and till such occurs perhaps it should be changed to something less detailed? Something like: "The first expansion pack, titled "Championship Mode", full details as of yet are not confirmed." Something to that extent.

True. But It would be a hell of a lot easier to add T. Hawk and Dee Jay In SF4 than to make a whole new game about Capcom vs SNK 3. Snk and Capcom's contract expired in 2004 and they still haven't renewed it yet. We will not see a Capcom vs Snk game for at least another 5-10 years. As For Dee Jay And T.

As seen in the discussion above this topic is very debatable. Recently the following statement was removed from the downloadable content section of the page: "Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono has stated that T.

Personally, the image on the infobox should be the arcade version's original poster/pop card. For starters, the arcade version will always be the original platform in this case and the Xbox 360 (as well as the PS3 and Windows) will merely be derivative ports. Having the console cover art seems show a bit of a console-over-arcade bias. At the very least, lets wait until a finalized cover artwork is published and not one that has "Rating Pending" on the corner. Jonny2x4 ( talk) 16:24, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
To throw in some additional consideration: in the past, the arcade version might well have been the primary version, but now in the late 2000s, this is no longer the case. Capcom's release of SFIV in the arcades was half-hearted at best, with it only coming out in a small handful of countries (in contrast to, say SF2 or Tekken, which was a major money-spinning cabinet on every continent). It's quite clear that they were simply using the arcade version of SFIV as a beta testing ground for the main (home) release. Not only does the arcade have an unfinished roster and missing cutscenes, but it was built on hardware that would facilitate a speedy conversion to home platforms. Furthermore, EVO, America's biggest fighting game tournament, uses the PS3 version, so that very much is the default. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.18.195 ( talk) 17:31, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
Reading through the update history, I take issue with the removal by NeoChaosX of the mention of the costume controversy. It is stated "need a reliable source (not a forum or blog) for that)". Firstly, I'd say that you won't get an official Capcom source that mentions anything negative, so it's an impossibility. Secondly, and more importantly, I'd say that discussions in forums ARE the controversy. We have countless examples (I could link well over 10) of people expressing their unhappiness with this move, and so that in itself proves the matter. These are direct primary sources that back the statement up. It shouldn't matter whether they are "just" message boards or blogs, as they illustrate exactly the point that is being made. Large numbers of everyday people are the ones complaining, so we should accept the words of large numbers of everyday people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.22.96 ( talk) 11:54, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
So what exactly is required? An editorial piece on gamespot that talks about their own message board?! Seems a bit contrived, not to mention extremely unlikely. Surely the type of reference would depend on exactly what was being established? If there's talk about a certain topic, then the talk itself seems self-evident proof.

It doesn't matter if it's accurate or fact-checked or not. It does prove there's controversy. It doesn't matter whether the whingers on a forum are justified or not. Such a link would prove the statement at hand (ie that the move is controversial and has inspired debate with the public).

I'm removing the "Internet Connection Required for Online Activation" part in the Windows System Requirements.
It's said here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055551178&page=2 that even though Capcom is using SecuROM to copy-protect the retail copies, they won't implement online activation or activation limits. Specifically, this part:
"Retail copies will use SecuROM As DRM but will not require online activation or have any activation limits. Digital distrubition DRM is dependent on which distabutor you buy from. The Steam version will use standard Steam DRM for example."
Whoever said it did require online activation was obviously trying to scare people into not buying the PC version.

Yeah, I had added a PlayStation Home section in the article not too long ago and the person that removed it said it was not needed. I would like to know why it is not needed? I mean, it's good information to know where the game has expanded to. Just with the past content update that Home received, the Japan version added a themed game space for Street Fighter IV, plus in the Japanese version they have a costume of every character from SFIV for users to purchase and a costume of every character except Seth in the other three versions of Home, and another great feature that was added a couple or so months ago was game launching, which not a lot of games do that with Home, currently only 11 to be exact. One other thing I almost forgot, when obtaining 5 of the trophies in SFIV, you get Home rewards, which not a lot of games do that, currently only 6 do and one of those is a PSP game. So I would just like to know why this section is not needed. JDC808 ( talk) 08:39, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't really need to be a distinct article, since more or less it's still Street Fighter IV with an upgrade...-- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 11:57, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
I agree SSFIV doesn't warrant a page of its own at the moment (if ever). Definitely wait and see what's in the game and then decide if a second page is needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.69.247.218 ( talk) 15:20, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
i think it should stay a seperate page. it's basically a new game. i know some would say upgrade but ultimate mortal kombat 3 was an upgrade and that has a seperate page to mortal kombat 3 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicericenice ( talk • contribs) 04:03, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Stubs are created when the content doesn't deserve to be lost, but it doesn't fit anywhere else. Here we have a perfectly good place for the information until it merts an article of its own. And it's not a fact that it'll get an article. Go see if Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter EX Plus, EX Plus Alpha, EX2 Plus or EX2 Plus Alpha have articles of their own. Heck, none of the SFIII games have individual articles. -- uKER ( talk) 10:00, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
The article looks nice, but if you are saying it is more or less like Pokémon Platinum, then I suppose it should be merged into this article. Putting it up for AfD is silly though since it is notable enough for an article. Merge discussions are for when an article that is notable enough for its own article being merged to create a better article in the process. Blake ( Talk· Edits) 13:08, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
I see there are now two editors who are using editing as a means to enforce their point of view. I don't know how to say this more plainly: there was an article at Super Street Fighter IV, the proposal was to merge it to this article. That proposal has not attained consensus here. Forcing it by performing the merge anyways is an act of bad faith that sets aside the various opposing statements above, and is only going to make this worse for all involved. If you want to edit war, be my guest, but I think you'll find that it won't work out as you'd hoped. — Locke Cole • t • c 13:26, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia isn't about majority. It's about doing what's best for the article. We all have to reach common ground and make a decision. -- Ryu ( Talk | Contributions) 16:13, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
For me, I just don't want to go through all the work of combining them, then separating them when there's proof that there's enough info. It's too troublesome. That's why I chose the opposite, via wait and combine if there's too little. You guys really shouldn't make this personal. Remember, we as wikipedians have to put the articles best interest first. -- Ryu ( Talk | Contributions) 23:46, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Two characters, E. Honda and C. Viper were added in a recent update. Okay to add without a link, as Cammy and Zangief were? Darkprincealain ( talk) 22:35, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
As I'm sure many of you are aware of, the listing of voice actors, unless specifically notable, is against the guidelines proposed by WP:VIDEOGAMES. I do like the character lists in table form, but you have to admit that the voice actors are just a poor excuse to have more columns to justify those tables. I'm not suggesting we remove the tables, but at least put some valuable information, such as a brief description of the characters or something. -- uKER ( talk) 04:35, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Where does it say it's against the guidelines because I don't see it. -- Ryu ( Talk | Contributions) 06:25, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
It says "However, if characters are listed in a table, cast should not be listed separately.", so there's no reason to change it. -- Ryu ( Talk | Contributions) 17:51, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Well the characters names are already linked to other profiles, so adding some of their story would somewhat clutter the article. I still think it should remain the same. The story itself was generic and rather short if you ask me anyways. I'm still a bit confused to how it really ended. And what happened to Bison afterwards. They'll most likely add it to the new one, but for now it should remain the same. -- Ryu ( Talk | Contributions) 18:21, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
I disagree with this. My reasoning is the same. -- Ryu ( Talk | Contributions) 14:29, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Okay, okay. Let me try to explain this again. It's perfect the way it is. For character description, they are not needed because every characters profile is listed in List of characters in the Street Fighter series. That's right, even the new characters are listed. As for voice actors, you showed us item ten. It say "Cast Lists: Generally speaking, a list of the actors providing voices for video game characters is not appropriate. Exceptions to the rule would be games where the voice cast is particularly notable, such as actors reprising their roles in a video game translation of a movie, as in the case of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In this case the character cast follows the general standard for listing a movie cast, with minor adaptations for the game's article. However, if characters are listed in a table, cast should not be listed separately. If actors/actresses must be added to the article, typically they should be done in the article prose, and generally in the development section." That in turn destroys your arguement. There are several articles that have a casting list. Are you seggesting that we get rid of all of them? Should we delete all the voice actors pages as well? In the end, there's no reason to get rid of it. Just because you think that it's not 'suited' for the article doesn't mean that we have to agree. -- Ryu ( Talk | Contributions) 15:21, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Okay, you're right. I misread it. I thought it was saying that voice actors were okay as long as they were in a table. I still don't think we should add a description though. Only one of them is reprising their role and it's Yūji Ueda as Blanka. He was originally Blanka and Balrog in Street Fighter II. -- Ryu ( Talk | Contributions) 15:21, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Well I still figure us having the characters linked to their profile is good enough. Look at the Tekken 6 article. It has a list of characters without the voice actors, but the profiles are still linked. Though it's also true that the character split into two categories (New and Returning Characters) to our four (Returning character, console characters, new character, and boss/hidden character) and the game has more characters than Street Fighter. At this point, it would seem best to replace the voice cast with a short character bio. Like I stated before, only one person returned. That doesn't make it notable enough. But if we do have a small bio, should we do it with all the Street Fighter articles? -- Ryu ( Talk | Contributions) 12:57, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Do anyone have any objections? -- Ryu ( Talk | Contributions) 16:07, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
It's been about six days and no ones objected. So it's safe to say that we can proceed. -- Ryu ( Talk | Contributions) 03:53, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
I hope I have done this correctly. If not, I apologize. I just figured that the SFIV Wiki is highly guarded and that correcting any info may be met with undo force were I not to provide sufficient proof of the error beforehand.
The error is featured here:
"Those who pre-ordered the game at Best Buy received a DVD with an Eagle One animated comic (this is not the same as The Ties That Bind that comes in the collector's editions of the console versions).[6]"
Though the info is linked directly from the Capcom Unity website, it is incorrect there as well. The bonus DVD given out in the "Limited Edition", which is what the people who pre-ordered received IS the exact same thing as the "Ties That Bind" DVD that came with the 360/PS3 versions.
This can be verified if you can find a Best Buy that still has the "Limited Edition" in stock. I found one a while back that had a stack of them still, they all come with and mention on the front of the box the "Ties That Bind" anime movie.
Confused, I even contacted Eagle One Media about this "Animated Comic" mentioned in the Wiki. Here is their response:
"That information is incorrect. DVD was not included in the game."
They go further to mention this about the DVD that IS included with the game:
"You can also buy the dvd on its own at virtually any online site such a Best Buy, Amazon, FYI, etc."
I can provide a scan of the cover of the "Limited Edition" version, which was a Best Buy exclusive(as I mentioned previously, it states that it is, indeed, the "Limited Edition" and then has a rectangle ad under the SFIV title that states "Bonus DVD Movie Included: Street Fighter - The Ties That Bind Feature-Length Animated Movie").

User Ryu Ematsu insists on removing the statement about Hakan being confirmed by the latest trailer. I never said he had been officially confirmed. I just stated that Hakan was hinted at by SEVERAL MAJOR sources (cited in the article) in a piece of leaked information that has proven right in everything it said, and now an official trailer has a voice talking about oil. Now my question is: what's not suitable for mention? The information leak? The trailer? What's the deal? -- uKER ( talk) 18:21, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
