Super Street Fighter IV is less than two months away from its release date and Capcom is pushing the hype engine into high gear by announcing the pre-order bonuses linked to the launch of the fighting game. Super Street Fighter IV will be outed for the Xbox 360 from Microsoft and the PlayStation 3 from Sony with North America getting the game first, on April 27, Japan following one day later and Europe receiving it on April 30.

The downloadable content attached to the pre-order is the Super Classic Costume pack, which is set to offer alternate ways of displaying fighters Dhalsim, Guile, Blanka, Gen and Fei Long.

This pack will be available to all those who get Super Street Fighter IV from Amazon and from Best Buy. Dhalsim will receive a new sheik-like look, Fei Long will wear a Kato mask, while Guile is set to get a new ballistic vest to wear.

Meanwhile, all those who are interested in buying their titles at GameStop can look forward to getting the Super Thumb Fighters allowing the classic contents of wits and strength to be fought using Street Fighter-themed thumbs. There are four sets randomly distributed, meaning that players interested in getting them all will need to buy more than one edition of the game and look to trade with their friends.

With Super Street Fighter IV, Capcom is looking to make a few changes to the gameplay mechanics introduced in the fourth installment of the fighting game while also introducing some new characters. Players will be able to use: T. Hawk from Mexico, Dee Jay from Jamaica, Juri from South Korea, Adon from Thailand, Cody and Guy from the United States, Dudley from the United Kingdom, and Ibuki and Makoto from Japan. They will also be able to use Ultra Combos for all the characters while enjoying new game modes.
