Ok so we essentially have three pieces of Street Fighter news that we need to get to here:

Number 1: Sakura has been confirmed as a playable character in the upcoming console release of SFIV, with pictures to prove it! This will bring great joy to fans of Japanese schoolgirl upskirt shots... The rest of us will be wondering just how goddamn many characters really need to be included that fight more or less like Ryu...















Other new characters to be included are Cammy, Dan and Fei Long, bringing the total of Ryu-like characters to an unheard of seven (if you count Sagat)! Which actually brings me to my next item:

Number 2: There is now official photographic evidence of Akuma and Gouken appearing in SFIV as secret boss characters!





Akuma was more or less expected, but Gouken? You may recall that Gouken, otherwise known as Sheng Long, originated as an April Fool’s prank that wouldn’t die. His inclusion is perhaps the single greatest fan service the series have ever offered (even if both of these characters sort of fight like Ryu as well…)

Number 3: Lastly, you may recall that there has been talk of a Chun-Li movie making the rounds for some time now. We have gotten our hands on a poster that may or may not be the official Japanese movie promo poster. Have a look and see if you can tell, is it reasl or is it fake?
