Car Bashing And Barrel Punching Return To Street Fighter?
Street Fighter IVWe don't always have to be so serious in our news. Sometimes, we just like to issue an update that puts a smile on the faces of veteran gamers.
Street Fighter II is widely regarded as one of the best fighting games in history and this year's Street Fighter IV fully resurrected the ailing franchise. However, it was missing the bonus stages from SFII that everyone considered most satisfying: bashing on cars and barrels! Well, both of these random acts of destruction may reappear in the upcoming Super Street Fighter IV, as indicated by Joystiq (citing a recent edition of Famitsu). We so wanna smash up those cars again! Remember how it was always a little easier to do with certain characters? Or maybe it just felt easier with certain characters? We don't intend to leave all the silliness and goofiness of yesteryear behind as we continue to advance forward, and besides, we need a break from pummeling human opponents. Maybe we'll get other mini games, too; maybe we'll have to try breaking down other vehicles, like freakin' trains or something, or maybe we can bash on small buildings like Godzilla. How sweet would that be?
Well, whatever. We just want to break those cars and barrels again. Make it feel just like Street Fighter, please!

That's the one thing us SF fans have been asking Capcom all this time
It's one of the core things which makes SF, SF...
Each character deserves a stage!

2 people sit down to do matches for a while, inbetween each fight they smash crap while the next level is loading after character selection. then maybe they add a perk or something for getting so far smashing things in the mini-game. then you could start the round with a bonus and give more replayability.

Damn you and your reference to Godzilla beating on buildings, Ben. Now I want a new Rampage game. Rampage was the jam.

Better than half of the extra mini-games most fighting games out there have these days, imo
Also, if you notice from the scans the stage that the car is on is similar to the one found in Final Fight 1 where you got the chance to beat up a car at a gas station. Lots of people are saying that this points to Guy and Cody being in. Man I really hope they are, at least Guy, he's the one character I'm hoping to see in Super.
By the way am I the only one who loves SF to death? Seriously, ya'll should join me! Just look at the reviews this game has gotten across the board, specially at psxe
Hehe you're all awesome too! :D
Ya'll better join me in the future Gran Turismo 5 league. Don't worry, in that game we're all pretty much on a level playing field, assuming you all drive in real life
Anyway, psycho crusher!
PS: I have a feeling there'll be more bonus stages. Hoping from a brand new one. If not then something's something
