How long can Capcom keep this up? Ever since Super Street Fighter IV was announced, there has been something new coming day after day. And yesterday, the latest reveal was that Dee Jay would return to the fight. And today, we have pics of him (as well as Thunder Hawk and Juri) in action, plus some new art of him, Ryu, and Ken. Just check it out in our gallery.

On a related note, it looks like there may be good news for those who don't own the original Street Fighter IV, but don't want to miss out on whatever extras Capcom is promising to whoever owns both. Destructoid learned that Xbox LIVE Marketplace is showing the game as a Platinum Hit, so we should probably expect to see a price drop soon.

Edit: And just after posting, we've come across a post at the Capcom*Unity which tells how Dee Jay came to be, straight from his creator, James "DJAMES" Goddard of BioWare:

I remember receiving 4x6 pictures of 4 new characters for SSFII- Cammy, T-Hawk and 2 Chinese (Bruce Lee inspired) twins (Fei Long). Immediately we loved them but had concern about doing a head-swap for the 4th character since Ken and Ryu already owned that. Luckily Japan was open to ideas for a 4th original character and Dee Jay was born!

I was inspired by Billy Blanks in King of the Kick Boxers, and sent Japan the movie plus a really rough sketch (I am a cartoonist at best) with a description of personality and fighting style (a mix of Western Kickboxing and Capoeira).

We received the first picture of him and he was buff and mean looking, but needed to feel a bit 'lighter/fun'. I did a revision sketch to capture the subtle happier tweaks (see pic) and added the "double dread tails" to allow for a bit more life in his animation. I was a total noob at this back then, I had no idea why these things seemed important but I was very fortunate to get to present these ideas in-person on a trip to Japan where Akiman (Akira Yasuda) liked the vibe and incorporated that direction into the design. The final challenge was to come up with a fitting name and after Japan thankfully shot down Mantis, JJ Bam (I know, really bad) but the loved the name Dee Jay - a spin off of my design pen name DJAMES
