We’ve known for some time now that the arcade version of Super Street Fighter IV was getting at least two new fighters (though we have heard rumors that it may be up to six). That info came from the local test of the arcade machine which showed two blank slots on the fighter select screen. Yoshinori Ono himself acknowledged this himself when he was questioned about it but only said that we’d find out more about the new fighters at a later date. Now, on the Street Fighter IV blog producer Tomoaki Ayano talked about the blank slots and even showed one up close and asked fans if they reconized who the sillouette is. Of course this sent the community into a frenzy as they tried to figure out what character may fit into the mystery fighters outline. Some have even been trying to showhorn their own personal wish list in there.
“Could be Mike Haggar going bald”
“I think it is Rolento without his beret”
It’s all a wild goose chase though because a close look at the blank slots would reveal that they both look exactly the same. Which means that we are either getting Seth’s brothers 22 and 17 or the blackened slots are just placeholders and not a real indication of what characters are going to be coming to the game.
Authors bio is coming up shortly.
