'Street Fighter IV' to Return to Mobile This Summer 2017
"Street Fighter IV: Champion Edition" will be available on mobile devices in the coming weeks. Capcom recently confirmed that its hit fighting franchise will make a comeback on iOS devices.
According to Capcom, the "Street Fighter IV: Champion Edition" will come with three additional characters. These characters are Poison, Ibuki, and Dudley. The three were from the "Final Fight" series and will be introduced along with the 22 fighters that were previously added to the game. These include Fei Long, Ryu, and E. Honda.
As for the gameplay, players will be able to face the AI, as well as other players. To enjoy the player-versus-player matches, one needs to be connected to the internet. The new "Street Fighter IV" will have a four-button virtual pad control system. The game's new controls will supposedly make shortcuts and combinations easier to execute. But for hardcore gamers who prefer physical controllers, they may opt to do so. "Street Fighter IV: Champion Edition" comes with the latest MFi support, which enables players to use external controllers or gamepads like a Gamevice.
