Anything can happen in the process--I think it might get pushed back if Ono isn't getting certain things in the game that he wants in it. Whatever the case I'm willing to wait (though with much held in hype) a bit longer if he needs more time, especially to put certain characters in ;)

Most of these are actually suggestions made by people over at forums.shoryuken.com - but they're also things I'd definitely like to see in Super IV.

- I'm sure you guys are gonna have bonus stages make a comeback!  I'm really looking forward to seeing what you'll come up with!  Whether it's barrels to smash, bricks, cars, or oil cans, I know whatever you come up with this time will be great!  How about smashing a giant Seth statue?  Everyone hates him, so why not do something to him when "he" can't do anything!?!

- I hope I see all of the unannounced rumored characters in Super IV:  Guy, Cody, Adon, Dudley, Makoto, Ibuki, and the other new guy I've heard of - Hakan.


- Please keep the option to interchange Japanese and English voices, and if at all possible PLEASE bring back the previous actors for the new/rumored characters!!!

- Rival animations before matches start (ala A3, etc.)  Seeing Adon and Sagat clash kicks just like in Alpha 3 would be soooo awesome!!!!

- I'd love to have the ability to taunt after a KO just like 3rd Strike.  That was fun!

- Have the option of character specific theme songs while playing any mode, online or offline. Fr example, you fight Ryu, you hear his theme song no matter what stage you're on. And EVERYONE should have one. Notice that E. Honda and Vega dont have one? Stages for all characters too.

- The cool little art styles (ink, poster, etc) should be in SSFIV. It can be done.

- I like the announcer in SF4...  I don't know if you plan on keeping him, or the guy in SSF4, but whatever the case is, I hope whoever he is ANNOUNCES WELL!!!!
   
- Since I've heard it mentioned before - a world tour mode would be really fun to get into. 

- Dramatic battle: Everyone I know who's casual or semi serious at fighters loves things like Dramatic battle in SFA3, bringing something like that could definitely bring additional fun factor that has no negative impact on high level play. Being able to play with a friend against an enemy was fun, and I'm sure there would be excellent ways to execute it in SSFIV, allowing this online would also be quite fun as being able to utilize your group against others would potentially be fun, albeit easily broken thanks to characters letting each other loop into things and the like.

- I'd like SSF4 to have the reversal window that was in ST...you know..the one that required timing.

- I think the game speed is perfect. The speed of the match I think can dictated by how aggressive / defensive your opponent is. The appeal of SF4

- Third language options where applicable. Get a Spanish voice actor for Vega, get a Russian voice actor for Zangief, get a Korean voice actress for Juri, etc. The characters speaking Japanese or English already wouldn't need a third, but it would be a cool addition.

- Option to play Rival Match voice samples when playing the appropriate character matchup (i.e. Sagat vs. Ryu, Sagat fires up Tiger Destruction and lets out his hilariously awesome "RYUUUUUUUUUUUU!" scream).

- I'd rather not see ultra select for Super IV.  Keep all supers/ultras available at once.

Thanks again for putting together another wonderful iteration of the SF series!


P.S. Juri is the aftermath of my username on SRK: Ansatsuken-TKD...!  I've had it since September of 2004.  I've always wondered what a lethal TKD user would be like!  I guess it's more like "Psy (Psycho Power) Kwon Do" than "TKD style Ansatsuken"  It took 5 years BUT IT HAPPENED!!!  YOU GUYS ARE SIMPLY AWESOME!!!!!

When CAPCOM heard the US Fans ASK for Dudley bc they want to see Dudley vs Balrog matchup.. They got confused and thought we meant claw.. Hence the tie to the search for a rose rivalry bit. XD

Rival and special intros for the win!

Makoto going "**** you Ibuki! I'm better" would be epic!

Or Sakura blushing at Ryu :D

Or the bound to be epic Gouken VS Akuma intro

Seriously! Get this done Capcom!

I always thought Sakura vs Ryu was a weird rivalry..  hi kid, how are you?  (beats her down) um.. I guess I taught you a lesson there didn't I?  ;P

She's 22/23

15 in Alpha2 when Ryu was 20 something.

Fine with me
