An alleged list of new achievements forSuper Street Fighter 4containing stuff fromSuper Street Fighter 4 Arcade Editionhas hit the internet. The list includes images of Yun and Yang (two characters that have yet to be announced for the arcade version), Evil Ryu (all shirtless and red eyed) and a glowing purple guy that looks a lot like Akuma. Internet people have already taken to calling this purple man “Oni Akuma” (Ogre Demon in Japanese), because one of the achievements correlated to his image is called “Birth of the Oni”. I like the name, so I’m rolling with it, though I expect someStreet Figtherfans will be irritated with me for that.
Speaking of which, a lot of folks are already calling this out as “definitely fake”, just like they did with theStreet Fighter Vs. Tekkenrumor, and multiple otherStreet Fighterrelated rumors that turned out to be real. There seems to be something aboutStreet Fighterthat makes a lot of its fans feel entitled to take on the role of honorary myth-buster. Why can’t they just learn to revel in the joy of a good rumor like the rest of us?Street Fighter 4producerYoshinori Ono sure can.
