Capcom has presented a truckload of goodies so far this weekend at the San Diego Comicon. Theoretically because they knew I couldn’t be there to bask in them. Especially since most of the hottest tidbits from the con are about LADIES LADIES LADIES!

Star of the upcoming Street Fighter film, “The Legend of Chun Li”, Kristen Kreuk sat at the Capcom booth to promote the movie. I’ve always felt she might be too young to portray Chun Li’s mature character, but I can’t deny that she’s still cute as a button. And apparently ripped, as she’s been working out to properly fill the role of “the strongest woman in the world”. Were I there, rather than asking for an autograph, I would probably ask, “Why is Smallville still on the air? You gotta jump that sinking ship; this could be your way out!”

Then came the next animated Street Fighter IV trailer, which included the notable appearance of my personal favorite world warrior, Cammy. While Capcom has generously given Cammy exposure in their fighting games, they’ve always seemed to be hesitant to acknowledge her popularity with the fans, for fear that she may compete too heavily with their star, Chun Li. In an open statement at the Capcom panel on Thursday, Seth Killian revealed that Cammy had won the recent poll posted on the Capcom-Unity site as to which character the fans would most like to see added into Street Fighter IV. Score one for the pigtails, ladies and gentlemen…

The con has only begun, so I’m curious to see what more Capcom has in store for us. Though I get the impression that they’ve fired their big guns right out the gate, so any other stories to work their way out of the convention will consist of amusing anecdotes and rumors spawning from overheard comments. For me, I guess there’s always next year…
