Street Fighter IV Commercial To Air During Real Fighting

Capcom revealed today that the first TV commercial for the hotly-anticipated Street Fighter IV will debut during the CBS EliteXC Saturday Night Fights mixed martial arts event on Saturday, May 31, at 9:00 PM EST. During the show, which will apparently feature "internet phenomenon" Kimbo Slice battling James "The Colossus" Thompson, viewers can see a 60 second trailer and 30 second television spots. I have no idea who those people are, but how can you not love someone named Kimbo Slice? (Even if The Colossus pictured is way hotter)
Immediately following the broadcast, the trailer will appear on the newly-redesigned StreetFighter.com, along with the chance to pre-order the game for Xbox 360 or PS3 exclusively through GameStop. Pre-ordering will get you a limited edition collectable Street Fighter Tribute artbook, illustrated by comic book and videogame artists. And since it's apparently the trendy thing to do, the site currently has a timer counting down to the release of the new trailer.
I'd say too bad the Wii lost out on getting a port of Street Fighter IV, but maybe they'll still be happy enough to have Brawl...
