Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition Version 2012 is a very long title, no doubt, but what it is not is the name of yet another re-release of Street Fighter IV. As previously announced, it's a huge patch being released -- for free! -- for the Arcade Edition of the game.
Arcade Edition was the third version of Street Fighter IV released following SFIV itself and Super Street Fighter IV, and is the only version this patch is being released for. It is said to be the final version of the game, and that seems to be proven by the large number of changes being made in this patch.
The entire roster has been tweaked. With almost 40 characters to update, the changelist is understandably quite large. Not every character has received an equal number of changes -- Yun has been drastically altered while Cammy and Sagat each received only two alterations. The full changelist is now available here (PDF) for fighting fans to dissect.
The trailer above features a select number of the updates and provides a look at how they compare with Arcade Edition as it currently stands. You'll be able to try the changes out for yourself when the patch is released on December 13 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and sometime after that on PC.
Any change to a fighting game -- particularly one with as ardent a fan base as Street Fighter's -- is going to be greatly scrutinized. After taking a look at the changes, which have been in the works since at least August, let us know what you make of them in the comments below.
