Come tomorrow, the loooong and painful wait for Super Street Fighter IV is finally over (except in the EU, where gamers shall be tortured an additional 3 days). 

Maybe it’s no surprise that *I’m* incredibly juiced for Super Street Fighter IV, and think that this game improves on the original in almost every way, but check out what everybody else has to say: 

G4 – 5 out of 5 ( Super Street Fighter IV review )

“Super Street Fighter IV is an excellent upgrade to what was already a stellar fighting game.”

Eurogamer – 10
“… will almost certainly be known as Capcom’s defining work of the generation”

IGN – 9.0
“Whether you’re a franchise veteran or a total newcomer, you can’t go wrong with Super Street Fighter IV.”

Giant Bomb – 5 out of 5
“SSFIV makes last year’s fighting game a lot better, and it does it at a less-than-full retail price. Like I said up top, if you’ve got any interest in fighting games at all, Super Street Fighter IV is a killer deal.”

Destructoid – 9.5
“Personally, I consider Street Fighter IV to be one of the best fighting games we’ve seen in a long time, and Super Street Fighter IV does nothing but improve on it. Buy this game.”

GameTrailers – 9.3
“It reminds you why the series is still king of the streets.”

GamesRadar – 9.0
“With more content at a lesser price, there’s nothing for us to do but give Super SFIV another stellar recommendation and urge you, whether you have the original or not, to dive in and get addicted all over again.”

Joystiq – No score
“The only way it could possibly be any better is if the disc magically transformed into Scarlett Johansson and tucked me into bed with a KFC Double-Down every night.”

MTV Multiplayer – No score

“It’s proof that a game can be modern and challenging, yet accessible, simple and captivating. It’s just about everything a game wants to be: a genre benchmark.”

Hit the jump for more great reviews from the print magazines!

100 – Playstation Official Magazine Australia
“Amazing value for the money. This isn’t so much SF5 as it is ‘Street Fighter 4.9’.”

90 – Game Informer
“I put nearly 100 hours into IV, and I can easily see myself pumping dozens more into this update. If you haven’t played IV at all, then $40 is an absolute steal for the ultimate version of the best fighting game in recent memory.” [May 2010, p.87]

90 – Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)
“For those who missed out on SF IV the first time around, we can’t endorse this title strongly enough. For the rest of us, Super Street Fighter IV won’t offer quite the same value, but the new combatants certainly make a compelling case for our hard-earned cash.” [May 2010, p.72]

90 – Official Xbox Magazine
“Even though Super Street Fighter IV lacks the impact of its predecessor, it’s still engrossing, enthralling, and plain ol’ fun.” [May 2010, p.70]
