Street Fighter IV's Full Cast of Characters Unveiled

by Lee Bains on December 22, 2008 at 04:01 PM




Last Friday, the folks at Capcom unveiled the full list of Street Fighter IV's characters, Joystiq reports.

The long-awaited new version of the famed arcade fighting game -- the first since 1999 -- will be made available for U.S. consoles on February 17th.

Plenty of the latest version's characters are old favorites, including Ken, Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile, M. Bison and the like, but others are new to the edition. Abel, who resembles a 'roided-out Willem Dafoe, is new to the franchise, as are the rotund Rufus and the luchador El Fuerte (all pictured in the gallery below). Unfortunately, some of our past favorites have been left out, including T. Hawk, the massive American Indian 'rassler, and Dee Jay, the dreadlocked Jamaican kickboxer.

On the upside, though, we've got a Christmas wish for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD, which hosts both of those retro favorites. Check out the gallery below, or head on over to Joystiq more information on the game and the full cast of characters. [From: Joystiq]
