This is one of those that seems so concrete, it’s more than likely official, but until confirmation is made, it remains a rumor.

Look, Seth is the very definition of an &%^%** in Street Fighter IV. Anyone who spent hours trying to beat him certainly understands. Online, it can be even worse, unless of course you take Sagat, which does tend to even things out a bit. Ryota Niitsuma was assistant producer on the arcade version, and apologized for [...]

Hi Capcom, I’m going to represent the throes of console gamers who shelled out $60 to buy the console version of Street Fighter IV, but then were stuck with the standard d-pad on the controller.
