9 Down,1 More To Go For Super SF4's New Fighters

And Ibuki,Makoto and Dudley make 9.That number represents the current new fighters added to the roster for Super Street Fighter 4,leaving only one more fighter left unannounced.The last member could very well be Hakan,a new character and also an Arab.Capcom aren't very good with keeping secrets and fans have already expected these fighters to join the list since Day 1.

Knowing Capcom and its racist take on its fighters,fans have speculated on the appearance and stage design of Hakan.After a quick check on the forums,Hakan has been described as a dark mustachioed man who fights in a desert,probably with some oil dredgers in the background.Representative of Arab culture indeed.

Fans might remember Dudley,Ibuki and Makoto from SF3.In fact,fans have been literally begging Capcom to include these 3 fighters,who enjoy enormous popularity( check the 4chan message boards for proof).

If you haven't been following the game's developments,here's a quick recap of the fighters already announced.

Like Hakan,Juri will be a new character,playing an important role in Super Street Fighter 4's storyline.She is Korean and will do battle in a Korean marketplace.As you can see by the screenshot,she's evil.

T.Hawk makes a return to the series,with Capcom finally bringing someone to match up to Sagat's insanely huge hitpoints.His old moves are back and better than before,dishing out massive damage equal to Zangief's Piledriver.

Dee Jay returns to bring us more pain with his horrible rapping.Hopefully,his plot will be enhanced further than trying to sell records.But don't hold your breath.

Guy,a ninja much like Ibuki.Super Street Fighter 4 has introduced the Rival System,where fighters will receive extra taunts and new cutscenes when faced with their nemesis.

As you can guess,Cody will be Guy's nemesis.On an unrelated note,it is baffling to see Cody still hasn't ditched his prison uniforn years after SF3 was released.

Adon comes back to give his former master Sagat another beating.Muay Thai has always been my favourite style to use in fighting games,so his inclusion is a welcome treat.

Dudley also brought a huge smile to my face.IMO,he was the saving grace of SF3,with a ridiculous storyline centering around him losing his car to Gill in a bet and entering the competition to win it back.

Stay tuned for more gaming news,and hopefully the announcement of the new fighter!
