Ever since Super Street Fighter IV was announced as a Spring 2010 release, I’ve been weighing the pros and cons in my head of picking it up.

Sure, I loved SFIV, so much so that it’s probably one of the top 5 games I’ve played this year, but ultimately, I’d be dropping $40 on what…8 new characters?

But then some more details came out…all characters would be unlocked from the start, so I wouldn’t have to keep trying unsuccessfully to unlock Gouken, and then the end boss Seth, respectively…

Plus you take into consideration new combos, better balancing, tournament modes…

And now they may have found the straw to break my already weakened back.

THE BONUS MODES ARE COMING BACK! That’s right, you’ll be barrel punching and car crushing in GLORIOUS HD in Super Street Fighter IV.

Now, so long as the 5 new characters unannounced so far aren’t Ryu/Ken clones…Capcom, you have my $40. Until you announce Super Street Fighter IV Turbo.
