Capcom’s released a new trailer for Street Fighter IV, showing plenty of in-game action and bringing news that pre-orders are now available from StreetFighter.com.
It doesn’t really look much like that original teaser video, does it? In fact, it doesn’t really look *that* much different to the original Street Fighter 2.
I have to agree with disused. You’d want it to be snappier than that, and what’s “epic” about it, exactly? I want to see more non-SFII parts of this, before I believe that I’m being asked to pay for anything more than SFII: plus EX - but, they’re already preparing to offer a completely redone SFII HD, so they really ought to be looking to differentiate this, from that, with mere hints, and glimpses of legacy content.
Right now, the impression I’m getting of this, is that it’s SFII, for those who fear they might cut themselves on jaggies. It’s shown nothing, really (aside from Crimson Viper, perhaps, which is a good character but still in keeping with the existing style) to necessarily warrant the “IV”.
I’m not sure “We Care a Lot” for the trailer, it’s not like “Everything’s Ruined” but the I could be going through a “Midlife Crisis”, who knows? I’m “Easy”.

Looks more like a badly edited YouTube fan-trailer. :/
Game looks promising though I guess. The style is slowly growing on me.

Unless my sarcasm detector is on the blink: the song in the background is called ‘Epic’ by Faith No More.
