Shacknews previews SSFIV's Online Modes

One of the main draws of Super Street Fighter IV, Capcom's revision to last year's main game, is the improved multiplayer suite. Ranked matches will return, along with Team Battle and Endless Battle. Replay Channel gets a major upgrade as well, bringing a streamlined replay system to the game.

• Ranked Battle - Just like in Street Fighter IV, this is a matchmaking only mode that pits you up against another fighter. The winner will earn Battle Points (BP) and Player Points. BP are earned on a per-character basis, while PP represent your overall strength with all fighters. Ranked matches are best 2 out of 3 and offer no rematching.
• Endless Battle (Quarter Battle) - Much like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (XBLA/PSN) or Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Endless Battle allows for lobbies of up to 8 players competing in a winner-stays rotation. This mode does not affect BP or PP, but allows groups to fight and spectate. This was not possible in Street Fighter IV. New players may join while games are in progress, but will not be able to observe if they join while a fight is taking place. This mode also uses the blind selection mechanic.
• Team Battle - Teams of up to four players face off against each other, tournament-style. The winner stays and the first team to defeat the entire other team wins. You'll be able to use matchmaking to find a team to play with or you can assemble a full team before looking for opponents. Player ratings are taken into account when creating and matching teams.

Oh shhhhhhhhhhhh.... Endless battle is what has made me enjoy SSFIIT:HD much more.

Can't wait for that. That is so much fun.

Did HDR let you change any match/lobby settings?

Blind select isn't always needed, especially for casual matches. I'd also like to be able to change the number of rounds and the type of endless battle. If there is someone really good in the room the other guys might get tired of just losing over and over. There should be winner-stays, loser-stays, and forced rotation, where the players are rotated after the fight, despite who won or lost.

I've got both PS3/360 versions pre-ordered from Amazon. You get a $10 credit towards a future games purchase for each, so I'll have a $20 credit

Producer presents SSF4 at Germany event

• You can press a button while in team battle to record the match you're watching.

• If you thought a match was pretty boring at first and you didn't start recording it -- don't worry because the system keeps track of everything and even if you start recording late, it will pick up the entire match for you.

• Match replays will also offer statistics like how much move a damage did in addition to input displays.

• Players have the ability to become broadcasters and invite you to a room for viewing matches and such. The broadcaster can then narrate the match as you watch it.

• Team Battle will keep looking for players to fill slots so that you can keep going, as long as the slots aren't set to private. You don't have to keep re-creating rooms.

That is crazy right there.

OXM Interviews Ono

If Super Street Fighter IV is successful, will you continue with the series or will you look to move onto other fighting games?
I have no intention of carrying on Street Fighter IV into Hyper Street Fighter IV or Ultra Street Fighter IV, because I'm aware of the mistakes Capcom has made in the past. So what we would like to do instead is to broaden the appeal because if we go onto Hyper Street Fighter IV or Ultra Street Fighter IV, we'd be narrowing the appeal to the top hardcore players, as we've seen with Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. So whether it would be a different IP or another Street Fighter, we'd like to keep options open. But in terms of Street Fighter IV, this is definitive.

So this is the last game in the Street Fighter IV series?
Super Street Fighter IV should be the distinctive end. Obviously there can be updates via DLC so perhaps in 2011, we could upload a patch for Super Street Fighter IV 2011 edition that would have tuning and balancing. But as a packaged product, I think this is the last.

So how Adon end up making the final cut rather than Rolento?
We weren't aware that Adon is so popular. Obviously people from the Alpha 3 days loved him because he's so strong. In the end, the popularity became two or three times more compared to Rolento, so we had to pick him.

Online Tony is the first person I have seen use Seth in a tournament at that level. Surprised that more people don't use him.

I personally think Seth is a cheesy character.

I can't wait to get online with this ish. I'll be brushing up my skills this weekend.

Yeah, I do as well. But so are half the fighters in this game. Zangief is the ****ing worst though. Oh yeah spammers piss me off to no end. I hope he has been nerfed alot.

I'm a Gief user, and honestly, against any halfway decent Seth, it's almost impossible to beat him. I can't ever get anywhere near him. Bah!

I wouldn't mind learning Zangief actually. It's just 95% of the people I come across do the spinning lariat constantly.

We should play some time then. I usually don't go crazy with the lariat, at least I don't think so. I've always felt that I get punished the worst when I depend too much on the lariat.

I think I'm going to break down and buy a stick from Amazon since the price dropped, I'm sure I'll be back in here with questions on switching out "gates" and such....
