    Capcom recently held an event in Japan to celebrate the launch of the Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition DLC pack. There it revealed new costumes for the recently added fighters Yun, Yang, Oni and Evil Ryu, dubbed the Arcade Challengers Pack. These outfits will include each fighter's arranged outfit for the arcades, as well as a custom costume designed specifically for the console DLC. The costume pack will be available on PS3 and Xbox 360 on July 5 for 320 MS Points ($4). On top of that, Capcom talked about an improved version of its iOS port, which is currently on sale for a buck on iTunes. Street Fighter IV Volt: Battle Protocol will release sometime in July -- Volt will sport WiFi multiplayer and three new characters: Balrog, Cody and Vega. A total of 17 characters will be playable in Volt. %Gallery-127046%

    We've known about the inclusion of Evil Ryu and Oni in Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition for some time now (both are hidden unlockable characters), but Capcom's finally acknowledging their presence -- well, okay, Capcom is acknowledging Evil Ryu's presence. A profile for the hate-filled hadoukener has surfaced over on the official Japanese site. The site also revealed some screens and two brief videos highlighting Evil Ryu's Ultra Combos, which you can see in the gallery below and past the break, respectively. %Gallery-119751%

  • Evil Ryu and 'Oni' unlocked in Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition [update: video pulled]

    Now that Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition is proliferating throughout arcades, players are rapidly unlocking the two new hidden characters, Evil Ryu and "Oni." Both fighters are strong, with reduced vitality to balance them. "Oni" looks significantly different from Akuma, with glowing white flames for hair. And Evil Ryu, as in previous Street Fighter games, is a stronger, faster version of Ryu with some of Akuma's abilities. IPlayWinner has compiled full move sets for both characters, allowing you to study up before you attempt to take on the denizens of your local game center. Check past the break for video of both characters in action (with some NSFW commentary from players), and find more at Shoryuken. Update: Youtube has removed videos featuring the two hidden characters due to copyright claims made by Capcom. [Thanks, Paul and Jim!]

  • Evil Ryu and Oni Akuma in Super Street Fighter IV Arcade, likely also console DLC

    A trailer for the arcade version of Super Street Fighter IV has revealed two additional characters: Evil Ryu, the "what-if" version of the hero first seen in Street Fighter Alpha 2, and Oni Akuma, who resembles the "Shin Akuma" variant of the already-evil fighter. Check out the trailer after the break. Images that seem to depict these two characters appear in the same leaked Xbox 360 Achievement image that showed Yun and Yang. So it would appear that all four of these characters are headed to the console game as well -- either that Achievement image is accurate, or a really clever (and prescient) fake.
