Super Street Fighter IV Challenge Mode

One thing that Street Fighter IV was missing was the challenge mode that broke up the violence in the previous outings. Well, that and a few retrospective levels, oh and lets not forget T.Hawk because every game needs a great hulking Mexican that can pummel you to a pulp.

Fortunately sadists and challenge monkeys can now rejoice because with Capcom’s next Street Fighter installment (seriously, you wait around for one SF game and then two come along at once) come both challenge mode and a great hulking Mexican.

In addition you get all the characters you fought so hard to unlock in SF IV and a few new ones to boot, added modes like team battles, endless battle and the replay channel.

check out the list of features:

Team Battles: Up to eight players can participate in 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3, or 4 vs. 4 team elimination battles.
Endless Battle: Up to eight players can participate in an endless elimination online match where the winner stays on and plays against the next player in true arcade fashion. Spectators can also chat with each other as they watch the match.
Replay Channel: Players can view recorded matches and discuss the match while watching replays of great matches from players around the world.
Tournament Mode coming as DLC after launch.
Bonus Stages: Return of the classic car and barrel bonus stages made popular in Street Fighter II both available in arcade and challenge modes:
Car stage: Annihilate the car with regular and special moves before the time runs out.
Barrel stage: Players are given 20 barrels and must destroy as many as they can within the time limit.
More classic Street Fighter characters re-imagined for a new generation of gamers, including favourites DeeJay and T Hawk.
New challenger: mysterious female Juri is the first character in Street Fighter history to utilize the Tae Kwon Do style.
All playable SFIV characters will be unlocked out of the box.
Gameplay has been rebalanced to provide challenges for both newcomers as well as the most seasoned Street Fighter pro.
