Your favorite characters, a real versus mode, controls that actually work, and even the cinematic ultra combos--Street Fighter IV for the iPhone has it all. The best news is that it's coming soon: this March!

I know nobody will believe me about the extreme rad-ness of this game, so all I can ask is that you try it for yourself as soon as you can, because this is the real deal.

Everyone who sees this game for the first time thinks they're just watching a HQ video of the console Street Fighter IV, because it looks that good.  But much like the real SFIV, screenshots do not do justice to this game--you've got to see it in motion and play it to believe.  After they try and throw their first hadoken and it comes out like butter, most people get very, very quiet and start staring at it like they've been somehow tricked, before a giant smile starts spreading on your face.

I buy a lot of iphone games, and this is hands-down the best looking product I've ever seen on the platform.

Head over to IGN for more screens and hit the jump for the full press release!
