Capcom announces Ultra Street Fighter 4

The game will be available as a stand-alone $39 disc or as a $15 DLC to SSF4 or SSF4AE.

What was originally just going to be a balance patch (like the v2012 patch) is now a full-on game coming "early 2014".

5 new characters Elena, Rolento, Hugo, Poison, and a new, as yet unnamed character that allegedly "has never made an appearance in any SF game". I expect that character to be shown soon, perhaps even as soon as the San Diego Comic Con.

If you buy the disk version you get all the previously released costume packs for free. That wording sounds to me like you can expect a new costume pack to be announced as well.

A few new characters and now fans will have dropped $140 if they bought the disc versions. Not to mention the ones who bought the costumes. Way to drag it out Capcom.

It's really not a big deal when I consider how many hours I get out of this game weekly. Jimmys pay for dat Maddens & COD every year. This isn't like that.

I personally can't wait for this update to come out next year. I'll most likely get it as a retail disk (rather than getting the upgrade for SSFIVAE), mainly for the sake of finally having the DLC costumes (Never bought a single pack because didn't think it was worth paying for outfits you might not even use.)

Also, as for who the 5th character is, I'm currently leaning on two possible characters, both from Final Fight, who hasn't appeared in the street fighter series yet: Mike Haggard, or Dean (From Final Fight 3).

Big shout outs to Ono for trolling us with this 5th character guessing game. :P

I'll be even more hyped when "Ultra Street Fighter IV: Hyper Turbo Champion Edition gets released. ;)
