Head over to this blog and watch some direct Street Fighter IV footage. So deliciously awesome.

Noteworthy things:

• I love Zangief’s Haggar outfit.
• Music and and sound work are superb.
• Subtle details like head tracking are nice touches.

While 2008 is the announcement of fighters, 2009 seems to be the year of fighters delivering. And the wait is long one.

Take a look at this animated trailer. Yeah, it’s in Japanese, but just watch and listen if you’re interested in Street Fighter IV and its lore.

Ok, now what do we make of this? Are we to expect animated cutscenes? Is Gouki/Akuma to be expected for Street Fighter IV? Can we also expect Gouken?

So many questions, so little answers.
