Just four days after the console versions of Street Fighter IV hit the shelves, round one of the Street Fighter IV National Tournament commences at 2,419 GameStop and EB Games locations around the country. With 64 competitors per location, that will make this the single largest live Street Fighter (or any fighting game for that matter) tournament ever."

It's always amazing how far people can go to show their love for their favorite game. Like the other day, a guy actually wanted to bomb Hudson for falling short of his expectations hahaha! But nevermind him, he's nuts, and that's a different story altogether. Let's just admire the work of this Street Fighter IV fan who built his own arcade-style game pad on a wooden table.

Kotaku: "Street Fighter IV won't be officially released in US arcades. But that doesn't mean it won't be released anywhere outside Japan. Take Australia, for example. Or Korea, or Singapore. It might come out there!

Capcom's Yoshinori Ono has revealed that while the game won't be shipped to the US thanks to a market "on the decline", there are other markets in the Asia-Pacific area region that Capcom are looking at."

After putting seven to eight hours into Capcom's hotly anticipated Street Fighter IV over the last few weeks, it became apparent that there's a real lacking of female fighters on the roster. Out of the 25 fighters currently represented, only four of them are female. And if you exclude Chun Li, a regular for almost any Street Fighter title, then you have even less. So with that as a starting point, it's became even clearer of what fighters are currently missing that would go over well with the Street Fighter fan base. Sure, Yoshinori Ono has said time and time again that no download content would be released for Street Fighter IV in the form of character downloads, but with the lack of Street Fighter III love, we can only hope and dream of these fighters showing their face in updates after Street Fighter IV releases.

Eager to get whooped by some Street Fighter fans from the Land of the Rising Sun? Lucky you! In the latest edition of the Weekly Famitsu, Capcom has confirmed that the online versus servers for Street Fighter IV will be worldwide, not region locked. It's important to note, however, that this will not be the equivalent of the arcade's guild mode, which allowed players to join guilds and recorded their wins and losses.

Capcom also announced there will be PS3 exclusive anime intros for each character in arcade mode, speculation points to this being due to the extra space provided by Blu Ray. The size of the save data for the title was also revealed to be 3,752 KB, though no word on whether the game can be installed or not.
