Source-derived summary

Super Street Fighter IV is a 2010 fighting game developed and published by Capcom. It is an updated version of Street Fighter IV and has been said to mark the definitive end of the Street Fighter IV series. Having been deemed too large an update to be deployed as DLC, the game was made into a standalone title but given a lower price than that of a full retail game. It was released in April 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. A port to the Nintendo 3DS with stereoscopic 3D functionality, Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition was released as one of the launch titles for the console in 2011. The game sold 1.9 million units worldwide, while the 3D Edition for the 3DS sold an additional 1.1 million units worldwide.

Gameplay

Much like Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter IV plays like a traditional fighting game, utilizing 3D backgrounds and 3D characters on a 2D plane. The goal is to exhaust the opponent's health meter before the time runs out. The player wins a round if they deplete their opponent's health meter, or have more health than their opponent when time runs out. If both players deplete their meters at the same time or contain the same amount when the round timer ends, it will result in either a "Double KO" or a draw giving both players a round win.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Super Street Fighter IV” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Super, Street and Fighter provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1302248. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010 and 2011.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
