So, the first SF IV footage has been revealed via the 1up.com Video Blog Show.I'm fully aware that this footage is of the game in it's early stages...so it's worthless to be super critical. Thus far I think it's looking pretty good. Animation is pretty fluid. Backgrounds are vibrant. And the 3D graphics do a pretty decent job of staying true to the 2D gameplay.But I am a little concerned about the character designs.You can feel a lot of the original Street Fighter 2 character designs in these 3D interpretations of Ryu and Ken...but Capcom appears to be trying a little too hard to make their characters "American" in style. Ryu and Ken have a little too much of the "Flintstone" neanderthal and "Gears of War" football players on super-steroids look going for them. I'm glad that this look hasn't affected the fast and fluid gameplay...but it's all a bit too over the top.After seeing this all in motion I'm a little scared to see their design for Chun Li. PLEASE don't make Chun Li into Chyna (from WWE)!!! I dig the big thighs...but her face and upper body needs to feel feminine.Overall, it's been fun following the revelations of this game. I find myself playing more SF2, SF Alpha, and SF3 3rd Strike in anticipation for SF IV!
