Online Servers Reaching World Wide For Street Fighter IV

Do you have a strong desire to get the snot beat out of you at Street Fighter by some kid rresiding in Japan? Well, fear not your time has come! Credit N4G for this short but most interesting tid-bit: "In the latest edition of the Weekly Famitsu (gaming magazine), Capcom has confirmed that the online versus servers for Street Fighter IV will be worldwide, not region locked. It's important to note, however, that this will not be the equivalent of the arcade's guild mode, which allowed players to join guilds and record their wins and losses."

Also announced was that the PS3 would be getting its very own exclusive opening Anime sequences for each character on the roster in Arcade Mode. "Speculation points to this being due to the extra space provided by Blu Ray. The size of the save data for the title was also revealed to be 3,752 KB, though no word on whether the game can be installed or not. "

This is fantastic news for those (like myself) who play competitively online. Worldwide servers will let it be known just who is the best in the world at Street Fighter IV. Sources point to me.
