Capcom today have announced Super Street Fighter IV, a new, standalone title which is Street Fighter IV with eight new characters added and some tweaks made based on community feedback. Of the eight characters, three have been announced thus far: classic characters T. Hawk and Dee Jay (Dee Jay's reveal coming in the latest issue of Famitsu), and newcomer Juri.

In terms of improvements to the game itself, producer Yoshinori Ono says that every character has been changed slightly based on comments from both players and the development team, while an improved online experience is also guaranteed. When asked why not just make this DLC for SFIV Ono replies that the changes are so extensive that they couldn't just be tacked on, so a full-disc release was necessary. Those gamers who may be thinking "rip-off" should know that the game "won't be sold at full price", and fans who own both SFIV and SSFIV will be getting a little something extra come release time. It's due out in Spring 2010 for the PS3 and Xbox 360; stay tuned for more information on this game right here at PlanetXbox360.com as Capcom reveals it.
