Capcom's Japanese site has just put up some fresh, though sadly 2D, shots of SSFIV 3D Edition, and things seem to be coming along nicely. The screens clearly show that most of the core roster from S🍰FIV will be included; Ryu, Ken, C. Viper, Blanka, Zangief, Chun-Li and Sagat are all in. No word on the rest of the cast, but we can%26rsquo;t imagine them calling it Super SFIV without fan favorite Juri making an appearance.

The new Ultras are also in, as you can clearly see R𝄹yu clocking Ken with his new Metsu Shoryuken. All told, the game looks surprisingly nice for a portable version, visually besting the better than expected iPhone SFIV from earlier this year. It'll be interesting to see what Capcom does with the 3D effects, but we have the sneaking suspicion they'll mostly be relegated to the Ultra animations; the last thing a fighting game needs is a disorienting swooping camera and weird effects in the middle of a fight.
