Street Fighter 4 - "New" Characters Revealed

From our fellow bloggers at Kotaku:

Street Fighter IV Welcomes Chun-Li's Thighs, Classic Fighters

The link has a few pics depicting some of the "new" fighters that are going to be in the game. Chun-Li, Dhalsim, Guile, E. Honda, Blanka, and Zangief. I guess the original eight were inevitable, but it's still a little disappointing.
Apparently, Feburary 8th is supposed to be a date where we get a new character reveal. I'm looking forward to that.

As the way the game is turning out graphically - let's just say I was extremely skeptical at first. But as characters are being added, it's looking a lot better. I guess I would describe the style as gritty - something a fighter should be.

Mainstream media outlets (outside of gamer websites/magazines) are also starting to get wind of this game as well. Seems like the Street Fighter franchise was lost for a while, but definitely not forgotten as anticipation for this game seems to be really high.
