Super Street Fighter IV adds ten characters to the original character roster from Street Fighter IV, featuring eight characters from previous Street Fighter games, as well as two fighters who are brand new to the series.
Among the added characters are T. Hawk and Dee Jay, who were initially intended to be in the original Street Fighter IV but later dropped. Also, Adon from the original Street Fighter, and Cody and Guy from Final Fight will be available, all whom were last featured in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Additionally, Dudley, Ibuki and Makoto return from the Street Fighter III series.In Super Street Fighter IV, every character will be given two Ultra Combos (with the exception of Gen who will have four Ultras, two for each of his styles). However, only one Ultra will be available at any given time, since they will be selectable in a way similar to the Super Arts in Street Fighter III.

After recent incidents, involving such characters as Ash Crimson, Iori Yagami, and Kyo Kusanagi, it was feared that the next King of Fighters tournament would never happen.

With a roster featuring over 30 hand-drawn fighters, a number of detailed stages bursting with life, over a half dozen play modes, a refined fighting engine built for speed and complete with new moves and supers, a vastly improved Online mode, and a host of other additions, tweaks, and enhancements, THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII represents a rebirth for one of gaming's longest tenured franchises and one of the most popular fighting brands ever.

  • Smooth, stable net functionality with global online play—Challengers can take on opponents anywhere in the world and using KOFXIII’s vastly improved network functionality, bringing to fans an incredibly smooth and stable Online mode.
