Street Fighter IV GDC Videos

I haven't seen any new information in regards to Street Fighter IV from GDC popping up online, but IGN and Gametrailers has been kind enough to post a series of videos taken from the GDC floor.

IGN features four matches with Ken vs. C. Viper, Ryu vs. Abel, Abel vs. Chun Li, and Blanka vs. Abel. The videos are off screen cam videos, so don't expect the best quality, but they are notably better than some of the recent shots we have been receiving from Street Fighter IV (and with no YouTube compression issues). From the background sounds of it, a portion (if not all) of these videos are being played by one of Capcom's staff explaining aspects about the game to IGN. Because of this, there are a few tricks that are shown off we haven't seen before in regards to the saving system.

The Gametrailers video (embedded below) features C. Viper and Blanka. Neither player seems too comfortable with their characters in the Gametrailers videos, but new media is new media.


If any more videos of Street Fighter IV come out of GDC, I'll be sure to post them on this link. It's interesting to see an actual arcade cabinet at the Game Developer's Conference... It's a bit of a rare site for a such a console focused US show.
