If you referred to my Street Fighter IV (ARC) review - it was recently updated with slight modifications, I mentioned about the characters' theme songs being in the game during rival battles. Here's some of them during fights.
This is Abel vs. Guile at the airport stage with Guile's SF4 theme.
El Fuerte vs. Zangief at the club stage with Zangief's SF4 theme as a jazzy remix. El Fuerte's ending is also shown in this clip for those who care (Spoilers...)
This is Ryu vs. Sagat at the Beautiful Bay stage with Sagat's SF4 theme song being played. For spoiler purposes, Ryu's ending in this clip too after defeating Seth as who knows if it is the true ending.
Actually these SF4 endings for the arcade version are short, so who knows if these endings are fleshed out more for the console versions with anime cutscenes.

Some new Tatsunoko vs. Capcom footage featuring the MvC2 Snapback...
It is pretty crazy that this one game makes me want a Japanese Wii to import, but if this game is out at SoCal arcades sometime after its release along with NA Wii release, then I'll be happy. Meanwhile, this video features Ryu and Alex against Jun and Ken with air combos, the MvC2 snapback making a return, supers, and more.
UPDATE - The Japanese commercial is now out - a month before its release there.

First pics of Gen and Cammy in Street Fighter IV
I think the final roster is set for the console versions of Street Fighter IV at 24 characters now that Gen and Cammy are confirmed courtesy of pics at Gamed.nl. Gen is a surprising choice considering how his role will play out story-wise in this game, so who knows what he is doing here anyway (probably get involved in the Akuma and Gouken rivalry).
As for Cammy, she has been rumored for a while, but she is finally confirmed maintaining for Super SF2 Turbo attire (which is better than her Alpha attire). Other than those characters finally getting confirmed, more pics of Fei Long, Dan, and Sakura were also revealed showcasing possible moves for them (We seen Sakura, but Dan and Fei Long's Ultras seem obvious). Dan approves of being in this game.

Music Video Catchup for 11/3/08
I guess I should catch up on some music videos... Been out of the loop on that.
I'll start with a brand new one that premiered today on MTV and MTV2, which is "Decode" by Paramore for the "Twlight" Soundtrack. Supposedly this movie is going to be amazing even though I'm out of the loop on that. Anyway, this song (I like it) is definitely a different change of pace for a Paramore single after getting used to "Misery Business," "Crushcrushcrush," and "That's What You Get" thanks to GH World Tour and Rock Band 2. It would be cool if this song is DLC for either two of those games (by the time the movie is out later this month I guess), but my bet is on this song appearing as DLC in GH World Tour than RB2.
Next up is "Human" by The Killers as their first single off the new album Day and Age. I'm hyped for their new album later this month considering their last mainstream albums were pretty good. Of course, this song as DLC could be cool and I hope RB2 gets it (likely not) with a three-pack that includes "Somebody Told Me" (been rumored as DLC for a while) and "Mr. Brightside."
Okay, not really a music video, but Kanye West's "Heartless" has been playing on the radio lately, so I might as well plug the song here too. This song is Kanye's second single off 808s and Heartbreak as a video should be up soon - around album release time (also later this month). I am also looking forward to this album as well - perhaps my most anticipated album of this year.
I guess that's it for now... (Still considering starting a Twitter account soon - Hmmmm...)

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom gets Viewitiful
More characters were announced at a recent Japanese event for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes. The obvious favorite out of the announcements is the addition of Viewitiful Joe for the Capcom side. This seems more of a finally that Joe is finally in a fighting game and also his first non-franchise game. Now I'm curious how his moveset will play like during fights (looks in the pic above he can use zoom in for more damage as a super or something). Will he be able to mainpulate time just like his adventures? Who knows, but I'm already more excited for this game to come out (still only a Japanese only release, but it seems local aracdes here at SoCal may get it in Winter 2009 - a month or two after its December release for JP Wii and arcades).
Sports off-topic comment: Okay, that Nuggets /Pistons trade is pretty nuts considering the season barely started. Denver can be slightly better with Billups and McDyess, but Iverson in Detroit is just crazy - it won't help them beat Boston.

Will Sonic Unleashed return the hedgehog to greatness?
Sonic Unleashed is out soon (sometime this month) and of course fans of the hedgehog that stuck with him through ups and downs are wandering if this one will break the streak of horrible games and this one actually being good. So far, it seems that way according to the crazy intro (Perhaps the best cutscene ever for a Sonic game with the hedgehog doing the business and then getting owned by Eggman) and gameplay footage below. Who knows if the Werehog stuff would be decent considering Sega's action games have been sucking (Golden Axe Beast Rider for example), but for the Sonic daytime stages, it looks like Sega finally got the speed aspect down. Another thing is Sonic's crappy friends being in the game in some way and I don't know why Sega keeps them around since the majority of them are dumb and pointless (besides Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow).
