Street Fighter 4 confirmed!

[D3ads]

It'll be shit, just look at the 3D Mortal Kombat games...

But was Mortal Kombat ever really that good in the first place? II was ok, the rest were pretty bad.

Pffft, Mortal Kombat I & II are the best beat-em-ups ever.

The appeal in Mortal Kombat is upper-cutting your opponent into a spiked roof, the actual combat system is pretty lacklustre.

And it's also not hard to carry over "gore" into the 3rd dimension.

Freaking cool I'd say! (Why didn't they use parallax mapping on the floor texture :x)

Oh god, why? I can't unsee it!

bulge or no bulge can't wait!!

I totally agree with some earlier sentiments about 3D not ruining a beat-em-up. Tekken's always been solid, some of the 3D Street Fighters were cool (the first EX game was awesome, sequels less so due to lack of progress), Dead or Alive is a little TOO accessible and shallow for tech fans but still fun if you want some pick-up-and-play excitement, and the Soul Calibur series is fabulous on all accounts. I'm a lot more excited about the prospect of SFIV now than I would be if it were 2D.

I don't think 3D 'ruins' a fighter, but it certainly is a completely different kettle of fish, and Street Fighter is the 2D fighter. I hope they try to include the previous mechanics instead of just conforming to the 3D model – twitch, specials, supers, no hardcoded combos, etc.

Though the screenshot doesn't answer this question outright, we can confirm that the game's graphics are polygonal but the gameplay is strictly 2D. There will be new moves, locations, and gameplay features, while the standard six button control scheme remains. Ryu and Ken return along with Chun-Li and Dhalsim, but beyond that the character roster is a mystery.
