Evidence of Last Night's Super Street Fighter IV Fight Club Surfaces

Luckily, there was a photographer (Terry Ng) in the house that managed to capture the event! Hit the jump to see more pics! Thanks again to Terry!
Street Fighter IV comes to iPhone and iPod Touch in All it's Glorious Glory!
Street Fighter IV is out today for the iPhone and iPod touch. It's selling for $9.99, and it's IMO one of the deepest and certainly most beautiful games ever released for iphone.
The video up above is me playing the game about an hour after I got it (you can record and save your matches!). Yes, it's that easy to pull off the moves, even if you have gigantic, rock-crushing hands like mine.
For anyone that hasn't really played a lot of SFIV, it's literally never been easier. You can throw hadoken's with the press of one button--no thumbs required! A shoryuken is down+special, and a hurricane kick is away+special. The hardcore are still free to bust out the motions the OG way, but the control scheme is really elegant, allowing anyone to pull of interesting combos with a few presses and a little timing, and not a lot of fuss in the thumb department! The way normal moves work with only one punch and one kick button is also elegant--you get a ton of different moves with very low effort.
For anyone that HAS played a lot of SFIV, you'll find that this game is a love-letter to the core fans, with an amazingly faithful recreation of the full product. The chains, the timing, the special cancels, invincible backdashes, throw techs, even focus cancels--exactly the kind of stuff you could easily have gotten away with NOT putting in--but it's all here.
A quick example: focus canceling Ken's fierce dragon punch into Ultra requires you to FADC on the second of the three shoryuken hits--it's the same on the iphone. And if you're early with the Ultra, it will hit but not go into full animation. On SFIV iphone? The same thing! :)
Can you tell I like this game a little bit? Anyway don't take my word for it, read some reviews:

LOS ANGELES, CA
– March 10, 2010 – Capcom®, a
leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games,
today released Street Fighter® IV for the iPhone

Featuring eight classic characters from the console
blockbuster including Ryu, Chun Li, Able, Blanka, M.
Bison, Dhalsim, Guile and Ken as well as seven
environments, Street Fighter IV offers players the most
advanced fighting experience on the platform. Veteran
players will instantly recognize Street Fighter
IV‘s robust move sets including Unique Attacks,

without multiplayer and Street Fighter IV
doesn’t disappoint. Players can battle
head-to-head in “Versus” mode via
Bluetooth bringing the excitement of the arcade to the
palm of their hand.
The controls
in Street Fighter IV are managed using a unique
“Visual Pad” system created
specifically for the iPhone. By activating “SP
Move Assist” players can trigger their
character’s Special Moves with a tap of a button
and a directional input. Hardcore players can disable the
feature and enter the complete command manually if they

Secret GDC Street Fighter Action Streaming Tonight!
Unity
is oiling
up to slide downtown for a secret Street
Fighter event in honor of GDC
2010.
Although it's going down in an undisclosed location, we're going to try and stream out some of the action on our ustream channel starting around 6:30pm PST.
They won't let us take direct feed of the action, but there should be some good shots of the room with a few famous Street Fighters and games-industry neer-do-wells cruising around, and I'll try to bust a few shoryuken FADC -> Ultra on the iphone. Plus who knows what could "slip" on there--anything can happen live...
