Capcom has revealed the final character to be included in the company’s upcoming Super Street Fighter IV, who appears in the form of a super buff, super oily combatant by the name of Hakan, and if you were looking forward to a character who adds more solemnity and seriousness to the Street Fighter universe… this guy is about as opposite of that direction as you can get.

Using his incredibly greasy body (which he makes sure to keep as slippery as possible with regular and generous applications of oil), Hakan employs a grappling fighting technique to squeeze his opponents into the air and along the ground, and spin them around his body.

The first gameplay trailer for Hakan below almost reaches the levels of ridiculousness found in Muscle March for the Wii, which I entirely condone. Watch below:

Revealed in the latest issue of Japanese game mag Famitsu, and in scans posted up on SiliconEra (yes, again), three new additions to Super Street Fighter IV’s fighter roster have been confirmed in the form of original Street Fighter Adon, and Final Fight’s Cody and Guy, both of whom made their first appearance as a playable character in the Street Fighter franchise during the Street Fighter Alpha series.

Last week, the news surfaced that Super Street Fighter IV would include a number of additional modes to test players’ fighting abilities over and above the normal one-on-one fighting.

It was only possible to sneak glimpses of these modes in tiny, low resolution magazine scans, however, but now we have full-blown video evidence revealing the existence of classic mini-games, such as car destruction and barrel beating, which first appeared in the very first iterations of Street Fighter when the series was but a youngling.

Also shown in the video below is what appears to be an audience mode (did I mention the video was in Japanese?), allowing spectators to watch two players battle it out, amongst other new modes:

Continue on down below to see the rest of the screenshots, as well as that extended trailer. You can also stay for a little while longer and watch shaky-cam footage of some in-game action, and see new characters T. Hawk, Dee Jay and Juri crushing their opponents:

[Update] Watch a video interview with Super Street Fighter IV’s producer, Yoshinori Ono, after the jump.

A very quick teaser video went up recently on Capcom’s Japanese site, revealing glimpses of watercolour-smattered fighting scenes similar to those of their latest Street Fighter game, Street Fighter IV.

This obviously lead to speculation that a new Street Fighter game was on the horizon from Capcom, and what else would they call this game? Why, Super Street Fighter IV, of course.

Capcom has now confirmed that Super Street Fighter IV indeed exists, and will be a standalone title heading out to PS3 and Xbox 360 in Spring next year. What’s new in the game, though?
