Are the next LittleBigPlanet costumes going to be Street Fighter IV themed?

When most games come out with new DLC it appears in the form of new levels meant to prolong the experience. With LittleBigPlanet though, all those new levels are already being created by the gaming community as a whole, so the folks at Media Molecule don’t have a whole lot to do when they get tired of swimming in their vault full of money. Thankfully, they’ve managed to keep themselves occupied by releasing a whole slew of costumes for your favorite Sackperson. Everything from astronaut to Sephiroth to Solid Snake has been available for purchase, and now it looks like the next batch of costumes may be adding a bit of that Dragon Uppercut flare.

It seems as though RipTen, while sorting through Spanish PlayStation sites, stumbled upon some pics of the alleged outfits, ripe for release sometime in the near future. Ryu, Guile, Chun-Li and Zangief are all shown, though we have no idea if those are the only ones, or if other members of the roster will show up as well. SackBlanka anyone? Making the rumor all the more intriguing is that Capcom promised a "little" surprise for PS3 owners when announcing the Season of Street Fighter. Well, Sackpeople happen to be little, so could that be their subtle way of hinting that we’re onto something here?

No details on pricing or availability yet, as to be expected from an unconfirmed rumor such as this. Considering the fact that SFIV drops on February 17 we’ll be expecting the new costumes to come out sometime before then, though. Since we don’t have an official confirmation from Capcom, Media Molecule, or Sony we can’t confirm this one, but I’ve got a good feeling that it won’t be long before we’re all doing a quarter-circle motion and tapping square trying to snap off a Sackboy Hadouken.

TGR Verdict: Rumor Very Likely
