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!

Via QJ.net: "LA is the place to be this February 12, for the launch event of Street Fighter IV (PS3, 360). What? You don't live in LA? Sucks to be you then. What you can do though, is get yourself a chance to win a free plane ticket courtesy of Capcom."
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.
Try your luck at getting the full Street Fighter IV experience with a Limited Edition Street Fighter IV Arcade Unit. GameStop has (1) Grand Prize: A Street Fighter IV Arcade System (Approximate Retail Value ("ARV"): $15,000.00) up for grabs. How do you enter?
The Street Fighter IV achievement list has been revealed. Street Fighter IV has a total of 47 achievements worth a total of 1000 Gamerpoints.
