Atomiswave is more than enough for a SF game.
Do you think SF3 came anywhere close to using the full potential of the Dreamcast?
The only concern I would have is that the Atomiswave may not have enough RAM for well-animated high-res sprites, but that's being pretty pessimistic.

Dreamcast hardware is capable of running what we'd expect a SF sequel to look like.. but wasn't Capcom Fighting Jam running on System 246? Why would Capcom develop for AW all of the sudden (hardware that S/S is planning to phase out anyway, according to rumors)?

I find it amusing that the Stinger Report is proud of its "80% accuracy" rating.

Well let's see:
It's cheap.
It does everything they need it to for a SF game.
It's easy to develop for and they have a great deal of experience with the architecture.
It does seem like an odd rumor, though, given SegaSammy's position on the platforms future, but this could be the game (along with NGBC and FXI) that pulls Atomiswave out of the toilet.
Besides, if the supply of Atomiswave boards dries up, a NAOMI port would be a breeze, and there are lots of those systems already out there.

You know what you're talking about.
I'm a little curious where this is going to go simply because of all of the talk about Sammy dropping the hardware. The NAOMI would be the best choice IMO because of all the reasons you listed and the fact that it's got a absolutely huge user base.
God, I just hope it doesn't suck.

You were at ECC6 so you know how bad the smell was. Ortiz was like an air freshener to me.

From Gamespot:Capcom preps new arcade fighting game
Rumors of impending Street Fighter 4 unveiling get a boost as company says it will unveil a new fighting game later this week.
TOKYO--A long-awaited fourth installment in Capcom's Street Fighter franchise might finally be on the horizon. An unofficial list of games expected to appear at the Amusement Machine Show in Japan September 1-3 has been making the rounds on Internet message boards lately, and it has Street Fighter 4 down as a game to be shown at Capcom's booth.
Capcom has added some fuel to that fire today with the announcement that it will indeed be showing off a new arcade fighting game at the show. The company made no mention as to whether the game would be an installment of an existing franchise or a new product altogether. Regardless, the new fighting game will only be presented in video format, meaning it's most likely to be quite early in development.
Other games Capcom has scheduled to appear include Super Mario: Fushigi no Korokoro Party 2, Geki Makai Mura, Pingu's Ice Block, and Donkey Kong Jungle Fever (a really disturbing Spike Lee joint about interspecies relationships, perhaps?).
Capcom is widely known for its Street Fighter series but has all but abandoned its fighting franchises of late. Franchises like Darkstalkers, Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter EX, Star Gladiator, and the Vs. series have gone years without new installments, and last year's crossover compilation Capcom Fighting Evolution on the PlayStation 2 (released earlier this year on the Xbox) was met with critical apathy.
The annual Amusement Machine Show is a distributor-oriented event and is closed to the general public on days one and two. Day three is open to the public, and entrance is free.
GameSpot will bring additional information on Capcom's new mystery fighter as it becomes available.

Well, in name alone, this is now my #2 most anticipated game behind Dawn of Sorrows. It's Capcom's burden to not fuck that up.
