    SFIV does have fantastic box art. But is just me or does his eye look a bit weird? Like he's not actually looking at Kenny?

    SFIV is going to be amazing. Only 7 more days... @GoldenMe- I agree completely, compare Chun Li on the previous SFIV cover with the Chun Li on the pinball ad. Major difference.

    Chun-Li is only sexy when she's NOT trying to be sexy. Great article, Tyler. And can't wait for SF4!

    @kicking222: Because we're lazy. And we put a "report" function in. Enough reports and you never know what could happen to those "first" comments.

    That SF Pinball artwork is going to haunt me in my nightmares. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that marketing for the arcade versions were handled by different groups than the home console ports. Hence the wildly varying artwork. Not saying it's an excuse.

    it seems they got Janet Jackson to model for the Pinball game cover...
