Hadouken: Secret GDC Street Fighter Action Streaming Tonight!

Unity is oiling up to slide downtown for a secret Street Fighter event in honor of GDC 2010.

Although it's going down in an undisclosed location, we're going to try and stream out some of the action on our ustream channel starting around 6:30pm PST.

They won't let us take direct feed of the action, but there should be some good shots of the room with a few famous Street Fighters and games-industry neer-do-wells cruising around, and I'll try to bust a few shoryuken FADC -> Ultra on the iphone. Plus who knows what could "slip" on there--anything can happen live...

Hadouken: Super Street Fighter IV Dev Blog: Dudley!

The Super SFIV devs are back with a new blog talking about the new king of Super Street Fighter IV: Dudley. They talk about the secret to his charm, his new moves, his Ultras (you're all going to be hit by so many Corkscrew Crosses you'll cry!) and of course throwing the rose! Credit as always to SRK's Azrael, and hit the jump for the full piece.

Hello everyone. This is Tsukamoto.

This week I'll be joined by director Okada and the head battle planner Sano, as we talk about the last of the new characters from SF3 - Dudley - and things ranging from how he was chosen and what not.

-- First off, please tell us why Dudley was chosen to be added in the game.

Hadouken: Seth talks Street Fighter (or “How Unity Ruined my Sunny Sunday Afternoon”)

So... last week Snow posted a random interview with me blabbing about SSFIV.

That's par for the course, but he also decided to ask you guys "what would you ask Seth if you could ask him something?" Well, many of you are already doing exactly that in the "Ask Capcom" forum, but a lot of people chimed in with some good questions in the comments.

I wanted to try and answer least a few of those questions, but then I realized I didn't have a good way to choose which ones to tackle, and before I knew it, I had spent my Sunday answering all of them. They range from potentially useful info to the downright useless, but hey--they were Unity's questions, so I did my best. If not everything is your cup of tea, don't say I didn't warn you!

--What aspect of Super Street Fighter 4 has (or will) prove to be THE innovation for the Street Fighter 4 series and the fighting game genre in general?

@Ryan: Honestly I think it will be the match recordings and the way they feed back into the community. There are lots of changes to the SSFIV mechanics, but the biggest innovation will be the chance to easily build up a library of your own matches (and those of others) while you're just playing like you normally would. So often something quirky will happen in a match and I'll think "hrm..." but then mentally skip over it because too much else is going on, or I just want to play the next match. With SSFIV, however, you can really see your strengths and weaknesses quickly if you choose to look back.
