[edit] Additional Characters

There are "roughly eight" characters added to the character roster from Street Fighter IV.^[1] So far T. Hawk, Dee Jay, Juri (a new character), Cody, Guy and Adon have been revealed.

[edit] Additional Stages

New stages are set to be added to the game, including:

• A construction site^[2]
• An village in India^[3].
• A savannah in Africa

[edit] Additional Gameplay Features

The game is said to re-balanced, which means that, in theory, no character should have an unfair advantage over another.  On top of this, it features several new game modes - for example a Team Battle Mode where 4 players can take on another 4 online.  Another example is an Endless Battle Mode which appears to follow a sort of "King of the Hill" theme - players queue to challenge the current "king of the hill", with losers getting sent to the back of the queue.  This could be considered to resemble the "I Got Next" system that operates in the typical local arcade.  There is also a new Replay Mode, although how this differs from the current Replay system is unclear.  The fourth "mode" is the long-awaited return of bonus stages within Single-Player Arcade Mode, where the player races against the clock to destroy a car, or attempts to destroy falling barrels.  There is also a reworked version of the Tournament mode, with no details on its changes as yet.

[edit] Development

In September 2009, Capcom began hinting at a update of Street Fighter IV. Leading up to its official announcement, teasers and leaked images pointed to a Super Street Fighter IV, featuring T. Hawk and Dee Jay, the two fighters from Super Street Fighter II who were not included in Street Fighter IV, and were long expected to be added to Street Fighter IV as downloadable content.

On September 28, 2009, Capcom officially announced the game, revealing it to be a standalone title. According to developer Yoshinori Ono, this is because the changes, which comprises of eight additional character, improved character tweaks based on community feedback, and an improved online mode, were too extensive to release as DLC. As a compromise, the game will be released at a lower price point, and there will be as-of-yet unrevealed features for fans who already own Street Fighter IV.^[4]
