Capcom: Street Fighter 4 is in the works.

I'd settle for a port of the original, and maybe a new Techromancer.

The decline of the fighting genre is at least partly due to the fact that fighters are increasingly targeted at an ever-shrinking niche market.
SF2 was huge because it was fresh, but its sequels and spin-offs survived in the marketplace only because they were familiar (and, in a few cases, because they were also really good).

Capcom really needs to make the series feel new again.
If the gameplay mechanics for top-level play suffer, so be it.
Capcom can always refine and improve it with the inevitable series of updates the game will get.

I agree almost completely with this post. I just wouldn't want to see top level play suffer. Not that I'm a top level player or anything. Just that there has to be a way to let TLP go on unhindered while still making the game fresh and accessable. Though, honestly, I can't think of a fighting game that has done so... ever.

Oh, and I wish Street Fighter would finally just die. Maybe I'm evil though, I dunno.

Just for the record, couldn't this just as easily turn out to be that Capcom vs Guilty Gear game that was announced ages ago, but has yet to actually be shown?

i'll take either SF4 or CvGG, both sound awesome.

This project died in its infancy (the project head left the company for one thing) so it's a little unlikely.

And making the game accessable to novices? What's the point? Casual gamers won't touch a 2D fighter with a ten foot pole no matter how accessable its made to them. Unless maybe if we're talking Marvel vs Capcom 3.

I'd argue against that. It may be anecdotal evidence, but I know a lot of people that want to play fighting games, essepcially 2D ones, but don't want to put in the effort to learn all the fancy new tricks that they use. I'd be willing to bet that there are a ton of people willing to put on their nostalgia glasses for a coupla hours to play a fighting game that was accessible to them.

Numerous parties I've been to, filled with people who I assure you were nothing but casual gamers, were more than happy to bust out Mortal Kombat 2 and SSF2T during the festivities and imbibing. If a 2D game came out, that was accessible, and a whole lotta pretty, and tapped into that nostalgia button it'd be a success I'd wager.

Doesn't the PSP d-pad suck for fighting games? I remember people weren't so enamored with Darkstalkes when it came out for PSP.

And I agree with the notion that everyone will trash SF4 if it is not better animated than SF3 (Third Strike came out in 1999, for Christ's sakes). I would like to think that Capcom finally learned the "don't recycle sprites" lesson from the trashing CFE received, but that kind of thinking is too wishful.

Well, those were all weird remix fighters, and this should be a full-fledged sequel judging by its name alone.

I would certainly not expect a sequel to rehash sprites.

This is Capcom we're talking about here.
