The latest issue of Japan’s Famitsu Weekly has confirmed that Chun Li will be appearing in the upcoming Street Fighter IV as a fully playable character.

Furthermore, the issues confirms that veteran combatants Blanka, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Guile and Zangief will also be returning for this latest instalment in the popular fighting series, joining previously confirmed characters Ryu, Ken and newcomer Viper.

Elsewhere, the magazine also touches on some of the new gameplay elements that Capcom plans to incorporate into the game, including the Saving Attack and Ultra Combo systems.

According to Street Fighter IV Producer Yoshinori Ono, the Saving Attack provides a "critical spice" for the game, and is linked to the title’s emphasis on offence as opposed to Street Fighter III’s blocking technique. While Ono neglected to go into detail, he did add that the Ultra Combo system would add "fireworks that are bigger than super combos."

Stay tuned for more information as it breaks.

    I would take E. Honda and Blanka over 80% of the crappy characters on Street Fighter 3. Oro, Q, Alex, Yin Yang twins, and Necro=GARBAGE.

    Stop hating on E.Honda and Blanka. Back in the day those guys were awesome. I've seen plenty of people who were pretty nasty with either of them two. Games looking sweet in general too. Here I uploaded the images from Famitsu.
