SSFIV Gameplay footage from NYC Fight Club

So Capcom's NYC FightClub event has come and gone. While there weren't any announcement of any new characters and/or features, Capcom did let people (including pros like Justin Wong, Marn and Santhrax) get their hands on the game first. Here's videos of Capcom's Seth Killian explaining some details of the game while the aformentioned players get to try it out.







As an added bonus, here are interview with Justin and Marn on their impressions on DeeJay, Juri and T. Hawk.

Daigo Wins Over Justin at Seasons Beatings 4

In what was a much awaited rematch, Daigo "the Beast" Umehara was able to overcome Justin Wong's devastating Fei Long and win Seasons Beatings 4.

Daigo had previously been sent to the losers bracket by Justin, who's choice of Fei Long worked against the former's lack of experience with console characters. In an impressive show of skill, tactics and Yomi, Daigo was able to quickly adapt to the unfamiliar opponent and force the finals to reset before impressively taking the last set with 4 wins to 1.

New SSFIV Art.

Here's some new character art of the newly announced characters for SSFIV from the official "Nakky blog" (run by project manager Natsuki Shiozawa). These seem to be the select screen art for the new characters.

DeeJay - Epic grin is epic.

T. Hawk

Juri - is it me, or is she getting hotter and hotter the more they show of her?

The blog post itself seems to talk about how they create these portraits from the in-game models and shows an example of how they did the one for DeeJay.

Super SFIV release date and price leaked?

Gamestop has just posted on their website that Super Street Fighter IV will be coming out in March 23, 2010 to the tune of $39.99.

The info does seem to go with what Capcom has officialy stated (spring release, lower than full price). Take note however, that Gamestop does have a habit of posting "guessed" dates that later turn out to be wrong just for the sake of pre-orders. However it would really be awesome if at the very least, the pricepoint turned out to be true.

That said, I'd gladly pay full price for this as the original SFIV has given more more than $60 dollars worth already.
