Source: New version of Street Fighter 4 to be revealed at EVO 2013A new version of Street Fighter 4 will be revealed prior to tomorrow night's Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition finals at EVO 2013, Capcom announced during its panel at the event.
The new version of the game, which will be distributed digitally as DLC as with Super Street Fighter 4's Arcade Edition update, will include five new characters, six new stages and various balance changes. Elena, Rolento, Hugo and Poison will be added to the game's character roster, in addition to a fifth mystery character.
The DLC pack will reportedly cost $15 when it launches on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC; a release date will be disclosed in early 2014.
If I had my Japanese table-flipping ASCII art at the ready, I would copy/paste it right now. This announcement makes me rage. The only reasons I bought SSFIVAE on disc for PS3 (and on sale for PC) were (1) I dropped approximately $80 total on a custom PS3 FightStick that also works on PC, (2) I was under the impression that SSFIVAE was the final edition of the game and thus "complete" and (3) the PC game was on sale for $3.74 per copy in a 4-pack.
I know others will greet this news with smiles instead of table-flipping, but I'm planning on shelving the game after this DLC is released and until it goes on sale for at least 75% off on Steam. I may look to sell my PS3 copies of SSFIV and SSFIVAE both. (I'm already looking to sell my copy of SSFIV.)
I also plan on not ever buying another Capcom fighting game after this.

So, I hear Skullgirls is scheduled for an August PC release...
