Street Fighter for iPhone adding new character for free


Our friends over at Joystiq have uncovered some video of a brand new character coming to the Street Fighter for iPhone game from Capcom. Camy is going to bring her camouflaged legs to the fighting game, and she's coming for free -- Capcom is going to include the character in a soon-to-be-released update to the game.

Obviously a free character is great and all, but this seems weird. We assume that the character's coming in a free update, and since Capcom is announcing it, it's probably a safe assumption that it's up for Apple's approval.

We were told in an interview earlier this year that the game just didn't have enough "memory" for more characters. Maybe Capcom has fixed some performance issues and found a way to get another character in there -- or maybe the original translation we got wasn't quite right. At any rate, say hi to Camy -- if you own the game, she'll be on your iPhone soon.

I have to say, on the 360 I almost always play as Cammy without fail. Might have to purchase this now. Now I can get spammed by hadoukens on the go.

Why does it seem weird that they optimized the code to squeeze in one last character?

Cool, my second favorite SFIV character (behind el Fuerte.) I think I'll finally get around to picking this up.

Maybe i'm getting carried away, when i say almost flawless i mean for a touch screen. What i'd give for a D-pad add-on for the iPhone!!

Gotta say i absolutely love this game, great to pick up for 10 mins and the controls are almost flawless.

Only thing, and i assume this is due to iPhone restrictions; get a call mid game and you're knackered - rubbish!!

Of course the 4.0 update should remedy this (although not for my 3G).....
