[3] Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition was released as one of the launch titles for the Nintendo 3DS, with 3D functionality, on February 26, 2011, in Japan.

However, only one Ultra can be selected at a time in a way similar to the Super Arts system in the Street Fighter III series.

Similar to past entries, Super Street Fighter IV is played using an eight-way directional system giving players the ability to jump, crouch, and move towards and away from opponents.

[6] Super Street Fighter IV features modes from the original game including "Arcade", "Versus", "Training", and "Trials".

To replace Street Fighter IV's "Championship Mode", "Tournament" allows players compete in a small single elimination bracket.

One of them is Juri, a young South Korean female Taekwondo fighter, who works for Seth's organization, the Shadaloo Intimidation Network (S.I.N.).

Juri has an energy-boosting device implanted inside her left eye called the "Feng Shui Engine", which provides her with time-warping abilities.

[13] An official announcement was made on September 28, 2009, for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with an arcade version initially only considered a possibility depending on fan support.

[16] Various playtests were handled in various arcades as well as appearing during the Street Fighter IV finals at Tougeki - Super Battle Opera.

[18] The arcade version of SSFIV added twin brothers Yun and Yang from the Street Fighter III series as playable characters, and introduced Evil Ryu and Oni as hidden bosses.

Ono hoped that they can put all the gameplay modes from the console release on the game, plus original content, and they were looking to the possibility of including arranged costumes.

Lite mode allows players to set up to four hotkeys for moves and combos on the touchscreen, with each character having a custom loadout.

[30] In Asia, a voucher for a downloadable Super Street Fighter IV OVA featuring Juri was supplied in the Collector's Edition of the Xbox 360 version.

Although having been fully dubbed in English, the movie was not released outside of Asia until its inclusion as part of the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector's Set in 2012.

[32] As with its previous incarnation, Super Street Fighter IV offers optional alternate costumes for each of the characters through paid DLC.

[33] The update, available as downloadable content in the console versions, and a retail game for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows,[34] includes several balance changes, as well adding Yun, Yang, Oni and Evil Ryu as playable characters.

"[47] GameSpot gave the game a 9.0, commenting that "Super Street Fighter IV stands tall on the broad shoulders of its predecessor.

Its large and diverse character roster, balance tweaks, and comprehensive online play reaffirm its place as one of the best fighters this generation, and it's a worthy upgrade even if you own last year's version"[45] In 2011, Complex ranked it as the 40th best fighting game of all time.

[53] Computer and Video Games gave the 3DS Edition a score of 9.0, praising its appeal to both hardcore and casual gamers, as well as having as much content as its console counterpart.
