In a surprise to nobody, I'll be playing me some SFIV this weekend. Wes and I are headed south to sunny Sunnyvale CA this weekend for the long-running NorCal Regionals.  I'm going to see some old friends, some hot SFIV action, and of course to have my skull cracked.  I'll be tagging in on the event's live stream as well, so be sure to mute your speakers to avoid being lulled gently to sleep. 

I posted about this before, but I'm posting again mostly because I find their poster extremely cool, and it wasn't done in time for the last post.  If you're in the area, be sure to stop by, or better yet, sign up and play. 

If you're not in the SF Bay Area, there are also other great events around the US and the world all the time--you can find a good listing here. 

 Our Japanese SFIV website and blog have been update-ified. The website has some more new portraits of El Fuerte, Rufus, and Dan in the new SSFIV pencil-style.  Check out the high-res files here.

The blog has a few notes about the Japanese National tournament (translation courtesy of Shoryuken.com's Azrael), but the real fun is the cropped screenshot of Chun-Li catching some ink-splatter from... who?

As I mentioned, we'll know more very soon :)

Earlier this week Seth stopped by G4TV to give some hands on time with Super SFIV to the XPlay crew. Watch the interview with Seth and new gameplay above. He talks about all the things in Super you're dying to know. Well, all except more characters, but he does say that info on that is coming soon...

That Joe is one ruthless dude (have you seen his gameplay footage?)!  The Japanese website has had this up for a week (yah we're lame), but we finally have the English (French, Italian, German and Spanish also included!) version of the Tatsunoko.VSCapcom.com website.  Click and read about Joe the Condor, Zero, Roll and more!

We're looking for your feedback on the new art for the Capcom Lithos available here. The free Capcom Lithograph program has been a huge success, and now we're picking the next generation of lithos. Vote for you favorites, and the top two will be added to the collection and available to you. 

See larger images of the art after the jump.
