Street Fighter IV Is Halfway Finished
Capcom is claiming that development of Street Fighter IV has reached it’s halfway point. By this, they’re referring to the arcade version of the game, which is due out in Japan in late July. Capcom has it’s sights in American arcades as well, but is currently having difficulty finding a distributor. Capcom has announced no official plans to port the game onto any console, but it’s naive to assume that it won’t inevitably appear on PS3 or Xbox 360.
After all the footage and photos that we’ve seen so far, one might be surprised to hear that the game is only 50-60% finished. I personally find it refreshing. Not only does it leave room for more characters or stages to be added, but also plenty of fine-tuning on the gameplay. I hope they put the gameplay through plenty of punishment by the most skilled tournament players in order to smooth all the bugs out.
