Its April Fools on the internet! - One of the best gaming holidays

Capcom already worked with the 3 Bar system, the 3rd bar was the Block bar, draining it would cause a Block Breaker. Several games used to do this a few years back.

That sounds boring, I'm not surprised I missed it. But a fourth bar then.

I think you've had enough alcohol for one night.

Amake will never stop until the Street Fighter HUD resembles WoW in Raid Mode!!

The hydralisks 100% win that engagement unless the player botches something.

[Amake]

First, by hydralisks you mean Ken, right? Second, how can you tell?

And third, how many more bars, gauges, counters and meters do you think we could fit on that picture?

[Arcanum]

Actually the stalkers and hydras are allied. Top right of the mini map, the bases are too close for that to be a 1v1. Plus you can see blue overlords to the left, and again on the mini map a red Refinery/Extractor/Assimilator at the natural.

Not to mention the only way you would see that kind of close-range fighting in a 1v1 between stalkers and hydras would be if the hydras were burrowed for some reason until the stalkers were on top of them, or you're watching a Bronze league game where the players only know about the Move command.

So really, Teal and Purple have the victory secured with Blue wiped out and Red with no way in hell of coming back thanks to Teal and Purple's complete map/expo control.

e- Also, to Amake's question, if that were a fight between the Stalkers and Hydras, the Hydras would win because they have a faster attack speed than Stalkers, and higher damage (stalkers get a damage boost against armored targets, but hydras are light units). There also seems to be a significantly higher number of hydras compared to stalkers. The sentries might help mitigate some damage with their shield ability, but are in a terrible position to do so and would be essentially useless. Likewise, the Immortal is worthless against hydras.

SF Alpha's guard crush bar aside, they already added a third power bar in SF4 when they introduced ultra combos (which fill up as you take damage and focus through attacks) as a comeback mechanic:

The Duper meter would have been a fourth power bar, one that appeared to be filled by taunting. This would have mostly only revolutionized the game in the sense that Dan would suddenly become top tier.

So, basically, the only SF game I would ever own.
