Seth vs Your Willpower Not to Throw Your Controller: Round 2
Kotaku has gotten a chance to talk to Capcom's Seth Killian about Super Street Fighter 4 and to see the game in action. While a lot of the information in the article is not really new, there are a few interesting items.
For those who like to punish themselves for pleasure, Street Fighter 4 boss Seth had you on cloud nine. For us normal people however, it left us wanting to throw our controllers or to abuse AI exploits to win. It looks like Capcom has taken the feedback from fans and has responded in an interesting way. Capcom's Seth Killian told Kotaku that "Seth will be even cheaper and more irritating" in Super Street Fighter 4.
Another interesting item is that some existing characters will get new moves in Super Street Fighter 4. Ken was one character specifically mentioned. Killian said that while some charactes will have new moves and characteristics, they are not introducing any new radical changes like adding parries to the game (sorry Third Strike fans).
Lastly, it was a relief for many (including myself) when Capcom said that they would not be using the same studio to provide crappy, low-budget Saturday-morning cartoon quality animated sequences to tell each of the character's stories in Super Street Fighter 4. More interestingly, especially to fans of Street Fighter fiction, every character in Super (all 25 original characters plus all new characters) will have a new story for the game.
