New Street Fighter 4 Details, Animated Trailer Arrive; Arcade Stick to Hit Alongside Home Version
Ono told Kotaku that while the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 conversions of Street Fighter IV will feature characters not seen in the arcade version, the previously reported home-exclusive appearances of Dan Hibiki and Fei Long have not yet been confirmed. In fact, the team hasn't yet decided who will be added to the roster.
The producer also revealed that the home versions of the fighter may include the return of the classic car-and-barrel-smashin' bonus levels from Street Fighter II, as well as the addition of fully animated anime-style endings for each character. The arcade version, meanwhile, will feature simpler still-frame endings, owing to budget limitations.
Capcom also plans to ship an "arcade perfect" stick controller alongside the console and PC versions of Street Fighter IV, and is currently in talks with a US-based peripheral maker to produce a stick with a steel base plate, steel shaft and arcade style buttons. The controller may be bundled with a copy of the game.

Whilst these aren't totally related, always fun to look at pictures.

Did you ever get the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection for Xbox 1? The arcade stick that came with that was pretty awesome. Felt very arcade like actually. I can't wait for this game.

hope so! although, arcade perfect in which way? (US or Japan...) If it is arcade perfect in the Japanese style, it'd have a Sanwa balltop stick along with sanwa convex 30mm buttons and a metal faceplate cut using the slightly arced button layout. For the US it would be a Happ styled bat stick and chunky wood construction, with concave buttons, using cherry microswitches. (maybe cut in the SF2 straight row style?)..
If they manufactured using Sanwa parts that easily adds about $50 on to the price (probably about the same for Happ parts), so it probably won't be "true" arcade quality if they want it at a convenient price range.
Anyway, those are two very different styles of arcade controls, hopefully it is nice enough quality to please either crowd. -

I wonder if the US stick will be a Japanese style ball stick and convex buttons, or if we'll get an American style bat stick with concave buttons (though I have both an X-Arcade with a kludge solution to get it working on my 360 and PS3, and a DoA4 360 Joystick...so I've got both styles covered).
