Street Fighter IV: It's 3D! It's 2D! It's Something!

1UP got themselves a scoop from partner outlet EGM's upcoming exclusive spread regarding Street Fighter IV. Man, it's hard to believe there's only been 3 Street Fighter games so far...

Anyway, there's been some contention about whether the gameplay and graphics will be 3D or 2D. Street Fighter is famous for sticking to 2D roots, but the market has made some pretty significant graphical and technical advances in the last 10 years. A recent trailer for Street Fighter IV showed 3D character models and fans everywhere gave birth to several pounds of outrage.

1UP confirms that, though the graphics are 3D, the actual gameplay style is 2D. I guess that means that characters wont be taking advantage of axes X and Y, but not Z.

Once the new EGM hits the stands, we'll know more.
