G4's preview on forthcoming uber-fighter, Super SFIV, full of beautiful footage and juicy hints of things to come from Ono-san.
For the hardcore, across the many video interviews we were recording at TGS, I basically showed off a ton of specific tricks, setups, and interesting move properties for Juri and T. Hawk. Unfortunately, the video editors understandably like flashy ultras over nerdy tricks, so some of them may be cut. Adding to the challenge is that not all of the tricks get shown off in any one interview, so you'd probably have to piece together all the clips from the various outlets (including euro outlets) to get them all, pokemon-style.
In this one, I do one tricky thing ~1:30--Juri's "fireball"-ish thing, combo'd into divekick (which currently hits as an overhead!). It's a bit tricky to set up, but lets you do a lot of crazy fun stuff. She's a beast!
Over at the Japanese SFIV blog, Shiozawa-san recently shared some of concept sketches for the SFIV alt. costumes. In addition to the art, she explains that the motivation behind the alt costumes was that they be outfits the characters would actually wear in the course of their individual pursuits.
So for instance, Blanka is adventuring through the jungle, Cammy has a "cold weather operation" suit (although I'd suggest, I dunno, pants?), and Dan has a special training outfit for all the extra time he spends practicing to actually win a match.

Arcadia Magazine has posted a preview of this year's sexciting SBO footage (Super Battle Opera is a great tourney where Japan's best-of-the-best arcade champions face off).
It's just a teaser (you have to buy the paper Arcadia magazine to get more footage), but it does have a very awesome final-match comeback from Kyabetsu Viper against the monstrous Iyo Dhalsim.
There's some comparatively anti-hype Virtua Fighter after the freak-out inducing SFIV footage. Skipping is advised if you're feeling sleepy :P
Plenty of people have been asking for SFIII characters to appear in SFIV, but over in the bowels of the Shoryuken forums, Steamboy33 has taken matters into his own hands and put the SFIV characters into SFIII.
He's created a series of nicely done 2D sprites based on SFIV's 3D models, complete with accompanying screenshots.
And if SFIII isn't OG enough for you, how about Dan vs Abel in... SF1!
SFDevotion just sent us a note about his awesome new photoshoot, including a bunch of iconic in-game Ryu shots, and of course this real-life move list, executed with amazing accuracy.
