Super Street Fighter IV: Now With 10% More Ridculous Characters
Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 8:33PM This reaks of the Justice League late 80's mid-90's run. You know its bad enough Super Street Fighter II exists to torment my eyes with 'supposed' Native T. Hawk [short for Thunder...not Tommy]. Compounded with that shameless attempt of multi-culturalizing a clearly, culturally feeble-brained Japanese developed game...we get Dee Jay [who's fireball and double kick keep away game is sick], but really...did you have to make him play the maracas after ever damn match?! [Cue: Chappelle-esque joke about 'darkies loving to dance']. And we have Juri, who looks to have some sort of potential...for cosplay fodder.
I'm bitching and moaning. Honestly, I hope they balance out the characters more because Sagat is a smidge too beastly, but that usually doesn't happen when you add characters to a game [See: Tekken, Ultimate Mortal Kombat, Capcom vs. SNK 2, Marvel vs Capcom 3, and even Street Fighter III]. I actually am pretty siked for SSF IV, but man, if I see those maracas...expect a new level of pisstivity.
For no reason at all...Let's watch some terrible animation and voice over work from the Street Fighter cartoon

I love the Japanese stereotypes of American culture. I was wondering about the Indian (Native American) fighter. Is his killer move really to jump 100 feet in the air then land on you with legs crossed Indian style? Does he smoke a peace pipe after every fight? I'm looking forward to SSF5 that introduces William, the flamboyant interior decorator. His combo is to toss his head, cock his hip, shout "BITCH!", then deliver an explosive slap to the face.
Thanks for the street fighter cartoon clip. I love the one where they say something like "you go ahead, and we'll take care of these guys" then proceed to steam roll them into and through a reinforced concrete wall without any noticeable change in momentum.
I'd thought you like the clip. Now as for William...if Capcom does decide to include him in the 2018 release [spitballing here] of SFV...they could get into a spot of trouble seeing as the Wii version of punch out has a very similar character. The Disco Kid
