Capcom may have a few character-based surprises for Super Street Fighter IV up its sleeves.

Chalk this one up as a rumour for the moment but last week Famitsu held a live streaming demo of the new fighter. Now with the internet being the internet, the footage was immediately pulled apart by pretty much every Street Fighter fansite there is and the people at EventHubs (thanks Joystiq) found something they weren't expecting.

From one image of the character selection screen they reckon that Super Street Fighter IV's total new character count will be ten, with four still to be announced. You can watch recorded footage of the live steam below, via YouTube.

Yeah i read this on kotaku yesterday. The characters are grouped KOF style into 'teams'. So theres the SF2 characters on the left, Alpha on the right, boss characters in the middle etc. I reckon it's going to be SF3 characters personally but I wouldnt say no to some Darkstalkers or Rival Schools characters

After its delay, Capcom re-announce a release date:

The return of Capcom's 2D classic fighting franchise with its follow-up to its 2009 version, Street Fighter IV, not only sees the introduction of some new (and old) characters and retuned online modes, but also the return of the classic bonus modes and even some new ultra combos. Super Street Fighter IV will be fighting its way into stores this coming April 27th and April 30th in North America and Europe respectively. No word on its price yet.

So there you go.

They didnt push it that far back then!

New trailer

Ive heard rumours that Ibuki, Makoto and Hakan - An Arabic grappler obsessed with oil are going to be in it too.

Watched the 2nd Ultras on youtube earlier, some are immense!

Other rumours

# All characters will have two Ultras. They will both be available at one time, not selectable like with Third Strike's Super Arts. The commands to execute your Ultras do not overlap.

* It sounds like the characters from Third Strike are set up with their prior Super Arts. They had three in that game, so one will be their Super and the other two their Ultras.

* Gen has four Ultras because of his two fighting styles. One of these is said to be an Air Ultra.

* All characters still have one Super, except Sakura who apparently has a Shinkuu Hadoken (Super Fireball) as well.

# Some characters will have Air Ultras.

# The Bonus Stages will be returning.

# This will be an exclusive arcade release at least for a few months.

# An official announcement is said to be coming at the Tokyo Game Show and on the Japanese Street Fighter 4 blog soon.

# Expect the return of the many familiar Supers, and a few new ones like Metsu Shoryuken. You'll see the return of Chun-Li's Kikosho (Super Fireball), Gouken's Denjin, Sagat's Tiger Cannon (Super Fireball).

# Ibuki has a run command.

# Guile has his Sonic Hurricane move from Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

# Dudley has his Chain combos from Third Strike, plus one additional Chain combo.

# Cody is the only character with an Alpha Counter and he still has his knife. He supposedly needs his knife to perform one of his Ultras.

# Rufus can cancel-break the last hit of his Spectacle Romance, or the launch kick of Space Opera Symphony.

# Guy has his Chain combos.

# Makoto has her Tanden Renki Super from Third Strike.

# Zangief is said to have a 720 degree motion Air Ultra called the Siberian Blizzard.

# The game takes place one year after Street Fighter 4.

# Dudley was searching for his car in Third Strike, in this game he's searching for a rose.

# T. Hawk's storyline involves him protecting Juni or Juli.

# Dhalsim's new Ultra is called the Yoga Shangri'la.

# There's a new gameplay system called Tadan Saving, the phrase implies a multi-hitting or multiple-level Focus Attack.

# The console characters are all said to be added to the upcoming arcade release, with the possible exceptions of Seth and Gouken.
