Recently, Capcom unveiled the box art for a little game known as Street Fighter IV, surprising us with not one but TWO different covers. Yes sir, SFIV will actually sport two separate box art covers, one for the United States and another for Europe. And if you look above, you'll see both covers in all their glory. The left is U.S. The right is Europe. Looks to us like the U.S. got screwed.

A very simple photoshop job from the looks of it, but without a doubt a good one :)

Chun-li one looks better. larger character image, larger Ryu and Ken fighting at the bottom, clearer character montage in the background.
the Ryu one? smaller Ryu, smaller Chun-li and Ken fighting at bottom (when has that fight ever become iconic of SF?), and less clarity on background characters.
both look horrible compared to past SF covers. why not let Udon come up with something?

The Ryu one would have looked better if not for the odd face, that just kills it for me. So yeah I guess I'm happy we're getting Chun-Li.

I second not being hyped by Street Fighter IV..
the fat guy, another wrestler & the art style of the game looks 'off'.. not a fan..
I'd prefer the Chun Li box too..
if the AI has to simulate a player (ie for Guiles' sonic boom, move back for 3 seconds, etc, instead of instant moves, with realistic reaction times) than I'll be more interested.. could keep me interested for a week or two - won't be interested in any online stuff though..

Chun-Li looks alot better than Ryu so I say we win this round of who has better boxart.

I don't believe that either country got "screwed". Seriously... what's in a cover? Last I checked, it's a street fighter game. SF2's cover featured a knocked out Ryu, flying Blanka and a kicking Chun-Li. All of it was crappy, but the game was still fun as hell. Personally, I'd rather have Chun on the cover but I would have bought it either way. (Who knows, maybe it will be reversable???)

Yeah, I think Chun-Li is the lesser of the two evils. Ryu looks weird, almost like a character from Wallace and Grommit. (spelling?)
