So come on then, out with it. Just how much are you looking forward to the imminent launch of Street Fighter IV?

It’s now less than 2 months away, and while I’m not quite at the point where I’m wetting my pants over it, I am definitely picking this up as soon as is humanly possible - whether or not I actually have a PS3 by then! I’m still yet to buy one, and with the UK still in a state of financial crisis, I probably won’t have one in time to play SFIV upon its launch. But I care not. I’m still picking up the limited edition box set so it can sit beside my limited PS2 Akuma controller.

So - when you get your copy of the game, which character are you gonna play as first? If Akuma is, as I would expect, a secret character, then I’m going with Ryu...
