Actually, this part:

While no story details were given, there was a theme of "Past meets Future" that flashed across several of the demos. Many screens showed a now gray haired Ryu with Mel Masters, the son of Ken, which confirms the game takes place after the events of Street Fighter 3. Besides a teenage Mel, we were able to recognize an older version of Sean sporting a shaved head and beard-- Nella, a military style fighter that plays like a mix of Guile/Charlie/Cammy-- Punarjanma, an Indian boy who uses strange energy attacks that mimic some of Dhalsim's moves as well as M. Bison's Psycho Crusher-- Zero, a fighter that looks similar to Twelve, but was doing some of of T. Hawk's moves-- Mei, a teenage girl we assume is the girl Chun Li rescued in SF3, besides doing Chun Li moves, she also had at least one of Gen's attacks-- and most surprising was an adult Sakura, looking rather buff and with an entirely new set of Muay Thai moves, she seems to play more like Sagat or Adon now.

sounded pretty neat... if there is a SF4 one day, that could be a good path to follow. Sigh.

Anyway, funny april fools joke indeed! I wish you had elaborated a bit more on the "Nude models on Rumble Roses XXL" one, though.

The thing about this joke is that the graphics are a mixture of amateur artwork and pro-level quality. But the thing that really demonstrates a high level of art is how the fake artists were able to add the distorted monitor shine to the pics. Like as if these were pics from actual machines running the game.

Top kudos to these guys.

The really sad thing is that even when I know I'm reading fake SF news it still makes me happy. That's fucking sad...

It would have been funny if Capcom had made a real announcement on a new SF game today and everyone totally disregarded it. Ha. I guess that's why no one makes real announcements today.

AFAIK, it was all done by Ryan/Fuchikoma - the drawing style used certainly seems to be his. It only looked slightly odd in the Mel Vs Ryu screen, since Ryu's face seemed to be adapted from one of the SF3 games, but overall it was good work - only Sean looking too white felt odd.

insertcredit doesn't feel... "me", because it's not bishoujo gaming, and all I know is stuff like that + anime & doujin. Which is why I felt a lot more comfortable with insertcredit linking my news when you feels like it. And... I don't think I really follow doujin games anymore. Aside from the stuff that attract me now and then.

I can't get Momotato to update his own site either. I made an agreement with him that I'll revive my site once he does his.

Hence everything is his fault + insertcredit

Hrmm, maybe I've just beceome spoiled thanks to previous, terrific jokes but I felt most of the jokes were a bit lackluster this year. For instance, while the Tekken image Naruto posted is quite well done it has nothing on the option in T5:DR to replace Heihachi's head with one of those gold statues he's always handing out. When the game itself will let you do sillier things than the parodies there's something wrong. C'mon you faceless people on the internet, do a better job of entertaining me!

No, I actually understand. I dunno why Momotato doesn't want to do stuff though. I think he's just depressed or something. But if he upped his awesomeness level, maybe he wouldn't!
