Michael McWhertor: 
He's getting the crowd up to speed, letting them know that all of their favorites from Street Fighter II (minus "New Challengers" like Dee Jay, Cammy, et al) will be in Street Fighter IV.
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:33 Michael McWhertor

4:35
Michael McWhertor: 
By the way, Ono is wearing one of the fashionable new Triumvir fitted caps, the Shadaloo gang wear in the Vega colorway
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:35 Michael McWhertor
4:36
Michael McWhertor: 
Ono is introducing the debut showing of the Street Fighter IV anime, dubbed in English for the first time
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:36 Michael McWhertor

This is the Ryu versus Akuma anime sequence, the one with Ryu waking up in a field filled with fireflies
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:37 Michael McWhertor
4:37
Michael McWhertor: 
We brace for the voiceover...
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:37 Michael McWhertor
4:37
Michael McWhertor: 
It's actually pretty good... not sure that's how I imagined Akuma would sound.... and the dialog doesn't match the subtitles, but it works
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:37 Michael McWhertor
4:38
Michael McWhertor: 
Fortunately, there's not a lot of talking going on in this animation, just lots of punches
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:38 Michael McWhertor
4:40
Michael McWhertor: 
Interesting, the English translation of "Shoryuken" is simply "Shoryuken"... you learn something new every day
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:40 Michael McWhertor
4:41
Michael McWhertor: 
Ken's voice actually sounds much better than Akuma's... forgive me if these are revealed to be their regular VO actors, as I don't know from SF anime >_>
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:41 Michael McWhertor
4:42
Michael McWhertor: 
"You may have noticed a mysterious character in that trailer" Ono says, referring to Sheng Long's appearance
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:42 Michael McWhertor
4:42
Michael McWhertor: 
"Please wait for the console version to learn more on the story behind that"
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:42 Michael McWhertor
4:43
Michael McWhertor: 
Ono announces that Studio 4 Degrees Celsius was responsible for the animation sequence, with Koji Morimoto acting as the Supervising Editor...
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:43 Michael McWhertor
4:43
Michael McWhertor: 
He's known for his work on the Animatrix... fairly certain that all of this was revealed at Captivate, with the exception of a few particulars
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:43 Michael McWhertor
4:43
Michael McWhertor: 
Morimoto, Ono says, was not much of a gamer, but even he was a fairly hardcore Street Fighter II player
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:43 Michael McWhertor
4:44
Michael McWhertor: 
Director Jiro Kanai was also involved in the project, Ono reveals
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:44 Michael McWhertor
4:45
Michael McWhertor: 
both Morimoto and Kanai have prepared LENGTHY statements.... the gist is that Street Fighter is great, they were pleased to work on it, play more Street Fighter, gush gush gush
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:45 Michael McWhertor
4:46
Michael McWhertor: 
It's all very nice
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:46 Michael McWhertor
4:47
Michael McWhertor: 
Ono says that what the studio has produced is NOT just limited to the 3 minute sequence weve already seen, but that further announcements on what they have planned will have to wait a bit longer
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:47 Michael McWhertor
4:47
Michael McWhertor: 
Ono fishes for some applause....
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:47 Michael McWhertor
4:47
Michael McWhertor: 
Look, we like it, Ono! Get to the good stuff!
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:47 Michael McWhertor
4:47
Michael McWhertor: 
The producer reiterates that SFIV is not so much a sequel as it is a "return to form" for the series
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:47 Michael McWhertor
4:48
Michael McWhertor: 
"Don't get me wrong, we love Street Fighter III"
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:48 Michael McWhertor
4:48
Michael McWhertor: 
He once again points to a "change in the rule book" that alienated fans of Street Fighter II
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:48 Michael McWhertor
4:49
Michael McWhertor: 
"We have added an appendix to the rule book" for SFIV, Ono says, pointing out the "Focus Attack" system, the two button attack that should add some variety
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:49 Michael McWhertor
4:50
Michael McWhertor: 
As you may know, the Focus Attack system blends defense and offense, giving experienced players ("black belts") a new layer of strategy
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:50 Michael McWhertor
4:51
Michael McWhertor: 
A video of the Focus Attack in action rolls.... we've seen this one, too
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:51 Michael McWhertor
4:51
Michael McWhertor: 
It shows how every fighter uses Focus Attacks for parrying moves and performing dizzying attacks
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:51 Michael McWhertor
4:53
Michael McWhertor: 
The crowd cheers for Zangief when he spinning piledrives poor lil' El Fuerte
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:53 Michael McWhertor
4:54
Michael McWhertor: 
Ken's Focus Attack to Ultra Move gets massive applause
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:54 Michael McWhertor
4:54
Michael McWhertor: 
I think it's safe to say that people are impressed
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:54 Michael McWhertor
4:55
Michael McWhertor: 
oh yeah... Abel, not Axel.... sorry 'bout that!
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:55 Michael McWhertor
4:55
Michael McWhertor: 
Ono thanks the crowd for their overwhelming reaction to the sizzle trailer...
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:55 Michael McWhertor
4:56
Michael McWhertor:

Thursday July 24, 2008 4:56 Michael McWhertor
4:57
Michael McWhertor:

Thursday July 24, 2008 4:58 Michael McWhertor
4:58
Michael McWhertor: 
Ono asks for more suggestions... people shout "Akuma!", "Dan!", "Mega Man!"
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:58 Michael McWhertor
4:59
Michael McWhertor: 
"Of course, if we put too many characters in, we'll wind up with Street Fighter Alpha 3 all over again!" Ono jokes
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:59 Michael McWhertor
4:59
Michael McWhertor: 
The floor opens up to Q&A
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:59 Michael McWhertor

Michael McWhertor: 
Street Fighter hardcore rush the microphone, to the dismay of Comic-Con security
Thursday July 24, 2008 4:59 Michael McWhertor

Michael McWhertor: 
There is only time for a few questions... they better be good!
Thursday July 24, 2008 5:00 Michael McWhertor
5:01

Thursday July 24, 2008 5:02 Michael McWhertor
5:02
Michael McWhertor: 
It's obviously been awhile
Thursday July 24, 2008 5:02 Michael McWhertor
5:02
Michael McWhertor: 
"Never say never, I guess we could always do another"
Thursday July 24, 2008 5:02 Michael McWhertor
5:03
Michael McWhertor: 
Oh... they're about to show something we've never seen before
Thursday July 24, 2008 5:03 Michael McWhertor

This one's focused on Chun-Li
Thursday July 24, 2008 5:03 Michael McWhertor
5:04
Michael McWhertor: 
I looks much like the Ryu/Ken/Akuma one...
Thursday July 24, 2008 5:04 Michael McWhertor
5:04
Michael McWhertor: 
Chun-Li's taking the train, cooking noodles, chasing shoplifters... just traveling

Michael McWhertor: 
Hey, ther'es Cammy...
Thursday July 24, 2008 5:04 Michael McWhertor

Thursday July 24, 2008 5:04 Michael McWhertor
5:05
Michael McWhertor: 
We cut to a Guile sequence, the colonel getting some bad news
Thursday July 24, 2008 5:05 Michael McWhertor
5:05

Back to Cammy, thinking about the Shadaloo crime syndicate....
Thursday July 24, 2008 5:05 Michael McWhertor

More Cammy... she throws off her parka, Street Fighter Alpha intro style
Thursday July 24, 2008 5:06 Michael McWhertor
5:07
