Street Fighter IV playable next month

In Tokyo next month? Good with combos? Then you might want to pop in town for the first playable demo of Street Fighter IV... if you can be♚at of the horde of delirious fighter fans.

In an update at the game's official Japanese blog, project manager Natsuki Shiozawa has revealed that the Capcom fighter will make its playable debut at the AOU 2008 Amusement Expo, an Arcade show opening it♋s doors on February 15 at the Makuhari Messe in Tokyo.

There's lots of b🅰ehind the scenes changes set for the fourth installment, which ꦕpromises to be "more aggressive" than ever before. It also looks like its further along than we thought, if the playable demos are already on the loose.

UPDATE: Capcom has let us know that the version on display in Tokyo wil🌱l in fact be an Arc🤡ade Location Test, where top players will turn up to play and provide feedback for balancing. This information will then be used to tweak Street Fighter IV to near-perfection.

In other words, don't ride too much on the impressions that come from it... because it can,💛 and wi🌃ll all change.
