Characters?

[Kousotsu]

Where did you find that her last name is Tsumura?:confused:

My bad I was thinking of here voice actor who has the same name. But I'm guessing thats who they named her after so that might just be her last name.

[thekidfromLBC]

I would like to see everone from SS2T & SA3. +
Alex
Elena
Ibuki
Oro
Hugo
Makoto
Yun
Yang
Sean
Dudley
Evil Ken
Adult Sakura
Adult Karin



The characters I don't want to see

Twelve
Gill
Remy
Necro
Urien
Q

Oro deserves a better spot than Remy??? :arazz:.......

[Kousotsu]

Oro deserves a better spot than Remy??? :arazz:.......
if Guile or Charlie are in the game then we dont need Remy in my opinion. besides he was like a lame Iori.

Hagar from Final Fight would be a nice character. The did Codey, Guy, Birdy, Rolento, and Sodom in the Alpha series. Then Hugo in SF3. why not Hagar too.

[Red Venom]

Yun, Yang, Ibuki, and the shoto users of coarse

what i don't want to see is

ppl with weapons

e. honda
vega (claw)
m. bison

Take that busta charlie out...put in remy

[Kikou-shou]

IV is set after 2 and before 3. So seans out. Id love charlie to come back and for capcom to develop the chun li charlie thing. But other than that the chararters I use are already confirmed. Ken and Chun li.

[Kousotsu]

Take that busta charlie out...put in remy
What? Hell no keep Guile and Charlie but change Charlie up a little. Then Throw Remy in the trashcan never to be seen again! Ever!

[Hayama Akito]

After reading mostly all this thread in these months i just can say that the most forgotten character in SF universe ever is Rainbow Mika, even Twelve and EX characters are more popular.

[thekidfromLBC]

What? Hell no keep Guile and Charlie but change Charlie up a little. Then Throw Remy in the trashcan never to be seen again! Ever!

but unless charlie is some resurrected super soldier theres no reason to have him...remy...poor remy...no one like's that emo s.o.b....i think deejay or fei long deserve a spot :bgrin:

[azis]

I Would like to see Karin, Sakura, Cammy, Juli or Juni, Maki and Ingrid as female cast along with Chun-li.

Ingrid is cool, she is different.

No Rainbow Mika.

[Shinkuu Tatsumaki]

but unless charlie is some resurrected super soldier theres no reason to have him...remy...poor remy...no one like's that emo s.o.b....i think deejay or fei long deserve a spot :bgrin:

They could very well bring Fei Long back. Unless Yun or Yang appears in the game. Also because Gen is no longer there, I believe he died in the alpha series as well? Orrrr some new character can take their place.

[CoolWater]

After reading mostly all this thread in these months i just can say that the most forgotten character in SF universe ever is Rainbow Mika, even Twelve and EX characters are more popular.

Actually yeah, she was very popular use-wise, but she was kind of a hack in terms of overall likeability and a sort of forgetable character imo. Sodom gets just about as much press as she does, but when u name a character after a certain location made popular for certain sexual acts, well.....

More so than that so many people want third strike characters in the game, but since ive heard (and have spent NO time confirming this) that the game will be between 2 and 3, I SERIOUSLY doubt any 3s characters other than, and im dont think anyone from sf3 other than, maybe, Alex and Sean will be in the game. And Akuma is NOT a sf3 character. As much as I hate to say it, I never expect to see Makoto in another game again :sad: *sniff*.

[Kikou-shou]

What? Hell no keep Guile and Charlie but change Charlie up a little. Then Throw Remy in the trashcan never to be seen again! Ever!

Why should charlie be the one to be "changed up"? He invented the fighting style and the specials that go with it. If both are in it then it would be guile they would need to change...

[goodm0urning]

Why should charlie be the one to be "changed up"? He invented the fighting style and the specials that go with it. If both are in it then it would be guile they would need to change...Charlie is based on Guile's character design, not the other way around. Charlie is the derivative one. Why mess with the original when you can experiment with the second-generation version?

[Kataklysmic]

Whoops, already posted...

[Kikou-shou]

Im not talking about derivitives Im talking continuity. To my knowledge Charlie Taught Guile.

[goodm0urning]

Im not talking about derivitives Im talking continuity. To my knowledge Charlie Taught Guile.So? Charlie still came second. From the perspective of someone who would rather play the game than read about it, Guile is the original and always will be.

[Kataklysmic]

Yeah, that's like saying Ryu should be changed just because Akuma uses Ansatsuken in its true form.

[thekidfromLBC]

So? Charlie still came second. From the perspective of someone who would rather play the game than read about it, Guile is the original and always will be.

hell yeah you tell'em!! Charlie=:lame:...guile will always be the best there is! :tup:

[Kikou-shou]

Okay, Fine. Dont all gang up at once....Your fanboyisms are showing.

[Edi. E]

Maybe they can add D.D. and Rook from the failed Capcom All-Stars game.

[CSS]

No Rainbow Mika.

yeah, we only need one thunder-thigh big-booty ho! :arazz:

aside from dan, the only character i'm really hoping for is dudley.

[Sasmasta]

R.Mika would be a nice addition. :cool:

[Cannon_Drill]

Hi! I'm just recently new here and I'd like to give my top 5 selections for characters.

1.Cammy
2.Sagat
3.Vega
4.Sakura
5.Chun Li

[*Onslaught*]

Confirmed
Ryu
Ken
Chun
Dahlsim
Akuma
The original 12 characters(Sagat, Zang, Blanka, Bison, Vega, Balrog, Guile, Honda)
2 new females

Semi hinted at in interviews
Cammy

So 16 characters already. I'm guessing the rest pf the cast will be new males.

[Kikou-shou]

Confirmed
Ryu
Ken
Chun
Dahlsim
Akuma
The original 12 characters(Sagat, Zang, Blanka, Bison, Vega, Balrog, Guile, Honda)
2 new females

Semi hinted at in interviews
Cammy

So 16 characters already. I'm guessing the rest pf the cast will be new males.

Thats just guess work based on the interviews. He also said he would like to have the charcters from SSF2T all return. Only Ryu Ken Chun Li and Dhalsim have been confirmed.

"It isn't finalised yet, but we're trying to use all the characters from Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and we're obviously cooking up new characters as well."

[KrsJin]

So 16 characters already. I'm guessing the rest pf the cast will be new males.

First announced new one is a female apparently.

[Kikou-shou]

Announced where exactly? Speculation is one thing but there hasn't been any new announcements, At least none that I can find.

[The_Dragon]

There are scans of the page up. She's got red hair tied in a bun, glasses, a tie outfit, gloves. I really like her. Once the scans are translated we should get a basic idea of her fighting style, at least one would think so.

[Kikou-shou]

links? Terra and raven...nice.

[The_Dragon]

Yes, Teen Titans, and those two characters in particular, are excellent. Courtesy of my friend Skilletor: http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=60944viploader555739122ee4.jpg

[Kikou-shou]

Id love to turn this Into a TT thread but that would be against the rules, BTW Raven has her own
6 issue comic coming out soon, character designs based on the TV series incarnation, written by the guy who reasurrected the teen titans comic back in the eighties, good writer Marv wolfman read it here http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=12615 , but I digress. FUCK! thats a good character design! reminds me of vanessa from Kof.

[Kousotsu]

Charlie is based on Guile's character design, not the other way around. Charlie is the derivative one. Why mess with the original when you can experiment with the second-generation version?


Wow I couldn't have said it better myself

[Zero619]

The new characters from CFAS along with Hugo, Alex and Dudley

[player2]

Necro and Twelve...




...before the operation(s) that turned them into bio-weapons. Maybe some real names for them or something. (That's if they're using this game to make sense out of SF3 & why these characters are in the SF universe.)

[kof4life]

Wait, Bison's been confirmed? Wouldn't that mess with the story? I thought Akuma killed him in SF II.....

EDIT: Never mind. I forgot that he can find new host bodies.

[vasili10]

EDIT: Never mind. I forgot that he can find new host bodies.

Not without his soul.

[Spinning Beat]

Ibuki

[kof4life]

Not without his soul.

So Akuma destroyed his soul when he killed him? I don't remember that specifically being mentioned. Personally, as long as he's not placed as a crazy final boss (See Alpha 3), I won't have a problem with him being back.

[*Onslaught*]

First announced new one is a female apparently.

Yeah that's one of the 2 new females I listed.

[*Onslaught*]

Confirmed
Ryu
Ken
Chun
Dahlsim
C. Viper

Most likely
The other original characters(Sagat, Zang, Blanka, Bison, Vega, Balrog, Guile, Honda)
1 new female(minus the recently announced Viper)

Semi hinted at in interviews/art work/etc
Cammy
Akuma

So 16 characters already. I'm guessing the rest of the cast will be new males.

[xero15]

akuma is confirmed

[Shodokan123]

C. Viper looks kool

[vasili10]

So Akuma destroyed his soul when he killed him? I don't remember that specifically being mentioned. Personally, as long as he's not placed as a crazy final boss (See Alpha 3), I won't have a problem with him being back.

Trapped it in hell.

[KindredSpiritz]

So confirmed up to now:

Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Dhalsim, C. Viper, Akuma.

[Sasmasta]

:u: I hope they show screenshots of those characters soon [besides Ryu and Ken].

Note: Kousotsu, that av you have is cool.

[tonbarry]

1-Blanka
2-Dhalsim
3-Zangief
4-Rolento
5-M.Bison
6-Birdie
7-Cammy
8-Sagat
9-E.Honda
10-Sodom



they should bring back alot of the originals mixed with some alpha,there's just to many that i love to play with.

[Seijuro-HIko]

Just give me Sagat and Dudley.

[ruthless_nash]

Hi! I'm just recently new here and I'd like to give my top 5 selections for characters.

1.Cammy
2.Sagat
3.Vega
4.Sakura
5.Chun Li

plsy cvs2 by any chance...?

anyways, when are we gonna get the next update?

[thekidfromLBC]

Just give me Sagat and Dudley.

I just hope they have have Athletic looking sagat since its after SF2...but I dont want to see a skinny ass SF2 version or a big ass buff SFA version....

[p91]

I just hope they have have Athletic looking sagat since its after SF2...but I dont want to see a skinny ass SF2 version or a big ass buff SFA version....

he's gonna look like a tall dhalsim

[{PFH}-Lake]

theres going to be a character like Sim, but hes going to have 4 arms to poke better then sim. And hes going to throw fire balls faster then o. sagat

[thekidfromLBC]

he's gonna look like a tall dhalsim

:rofl:..yeh but with a eye patch :rofl:..
i like the avartar and the signature
matt vs calculus 2 :rofl:

[karate_ghost]

i just heard that there's going to be poison viper, which is supposed to be remi's mother or something as a new character. i heard this from fightersgeneration.com go check it out.

[Hatred Edge]

The guy on fightersgeneration said NOT TO HOLD THAT TO HIM. That means it might NOT be true. And it's Crimson Viper.

[KindredSpiritz]

Crimson Viper is NOT Remy's mother. Crimson Viper might not be French and looks black or brown.

[KindredSpiritz]

oh I also heard there's going to a Muslim character.

[Shungokustasu]

Ibuki, Dudley, and a new character Karin.

[KindredSpiritz]

When will people realise that this game will NOT have any Street Fighter 3 or Alpha characters.

At best in terms of old characters we're looking at the core 12 of SF II and maybe the New Super Challengers along with a many new original characters.

Stop dreaming about a 2.5D Dudley or Sakura cos it ain't gonna happen in this installment.

[ramberk]

I want a pre-emo Remy as a regular character. He'll talk clearly, without mumbling and all of his attacks will come out slower but he'll have like a little bit more stamina. And then as a secret character we can have Satusui no Hadou Muy Emo Remy. Which is just like 3S Remy but he doesn't talk at all, just stares angrily. And his jab punch out prioritizes everything except a few supers.

[SAPhoenix]

Who thinks this chick should be in SF4?

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/2892/blackwidowlo2.jpg

She's from the sequel to Muscle Bomber/Slam Masters.

[Culexor Omegas]

oh I also heard there's going to a Muslim character.

What will his move be, Suicide Bomb?:woot:

[T-hawk]

What will his move be, Suicide Bomb?:woot:

This is really offensive to us muslims, plz refrain from unnecessary uncalled for racist jokes.
Muslims are not terrorists. Some terrorists happen to think they are muslims, they use the name of islam to promote their own personal agendas. but the truth is islam does not promote violence nor destruction.

i hope you or the mods will edit your post.

[goodm0urning]

This is really offensive to us muslims, plz refrain from unnecessary uncalled for racist jokes.
Muslim are not terrorists. Some terrorists happene to think they are muslims but the truth is islam does not promote violence nor destruction.

i hope you or the mods will edit your post.What makes you think a move called "suicide bomb" has anything to do with the character being a Muslim? Everybody knows that there have been plenty of suicide bombings not carried out by Muslims. Suicide bombings carried out by Christians, for example.

If anything, YOU'RE the racist.

[SAPhoenix]

What makes you think a move called "suicide bomb" has anything to do with the character being a Muslim?

No offense, but Culexor's direct response to KindredSpiritz's post was "What will his move be, Suicide Bomb?". It makes sense that he'd be offended by it. It's not like he just decided to jump to conclusions.

[goodm0urning]

No offense, but Culexor's direct response to KindredSpiritz's post was "What will his move be, Suicide Bomb?". It makes sense that he'd be offended by it. It's not like he just decided to jump to conclusions.That's ridiculous. That would be like saying you have a complete and utter inability to tell when people are being facetious and when they're not.

[SAPhoenix]

Not really. I'm pretty sure T-hawk knows the difference. Let's just say that some folks do take their religious beliefs seriously and no amount of "facetiousness" is going to change the fact that they might find certain attempts at humor offensive.

But all the same, just my opinion, not looking to step on anyone's toes.

[DRCsyntax]

I have to say I thought the same thing as "suicide bomb" attack, but it should've been taken jokingly either way....unless he made a direct link between muslims and terrorists, people are jumping to conclusions...

EITHERWAY, you're going off topic on this muslim/terrortist racist non sense.

Core 12 SF II won't happen, Bison is dead at this point anyway, Gouki smack down special.

Also Guile likely will not be involved, wasn't his ending to go home and be a family man? (I'd love to see him though).

Sagat will almost definately show up, there wasn't a clear ending between him and Ryu, and I'll think they'll use it as a chance for some epic battle.


People saying no chance for alphas might be wrong. I would LOVE to see Adon take on Gouki, as per the Alpha3 ending for him, i don't think I'm alone in wanting to see this fight....hopefully.

Obviously Gouki will show up, or maybe he won't...he wasn't in the first two installments of 3s playable, so ya never know.

What I don't get, and what I'm searching for, is an actual plot that would link all the characters together...that would help solidify who's going to show up and why. This is a between tournement, which means it's going to be basically Street Fighter IV: Alpha Renewed! Mainly because alpha was just a story gap filler.....soooo yeah.

Story = character listing.

I think they should be back everyone that mattered in Alpha if they're still alive. (Gen, Guy, Adon, DAN, SAKURA, KARIN and even Rose if she's still alive, which she shouldn't be...if I remember she was half of Bisons soul...sooo yeah she's with him.)

[goodm0urning]

Not really. I'm pretty sure T-hawk knows the difference. Let's just say that some folks do take their religious beliefs seriously and no amount of "facetiousness" is going to change the fact that they might find certain attempts at humor offensive.The correct answer is, "Who gives a shit?"

[shin_ryu]

The correct answer is, "Who gives a shit?"

no...the correct answer is you are an ignorant little piece of shit

[KindredSpiritz]

No offense, but Culexor's direct response to KindredSpiritz's post was "What will his move be, Suicide Bomb?". It makes sense that he'd be offended by it. It's not like he just decided to jump to conclusions.

After seeing it, I am offended by it.

It's a pejorative association and stereotype. Yes you can argue there are Hindu and Christian suicide bombers but this post actually was poking at a stereotype. When a person says a suicide bomber and Muslim next to it , you know exactly what they're getting at. The fact remains you wouldn't say it if I had said Christian or Jewish character.

Many believe that most Muslims are Middle Eastern looking extremists, that's not the case.

Refrain from insults at any nationality or religious adherent and abide by the ROC.

[shin_ryu]

...you didn't start this thread but nice try

[KindredSpiritz]

Since when did I say I started this thread?

I don't recall saying it...



"nice try"

[shin_ryu]

lol HAHAHA you just said it but you edited it out it's ok whatever

[Gaijinblaze]

Too bad this board wasn't a suicide bomb.

[ramberk]

All right.... can we drop that suicide bomb stuff and stay on topic.

I'm wondering myself how big the roster will be. I'm gonna guess between 10-16. Ten would be too small but I don't expect a huge roster either.

[woof]

shin_ryu owns

[Rex0r]

I would love to see another game with only 12 or so characters, each completely different and all at least almost usuauble.

[Adam Warlock]

Read between the lines, you dumbasses you just got played and you don't even know it.

That's ridiculous. That would be like saying you have a complete and utter inability to tell when people are being facetious and when they're not.

Read it again until it sinks in.

[Fulaani]

Man I'd play a muslim char. If they do that I hope they do it right though, and make him hardcore. Fist lenghth beard and everything. Give him like an afghani nationality, they have cool garbs and he would be trained in China with those muslim martial artists.

Yea son.

[goodm0urning]

SRK is full-up with real idiocy that goes mostly unchecked, so I won't further annoy the SRK team with my parody of that idiocy. I'll just huddle in the corner make a small incision in my skin with an X-acto knife for every genuinely racist post I see on here that receives no reprisal.

And looking on the bright side, this was my first contact with the elusive and mysterious Mr. Wizard, which I consider to be a brush with greatness. Like the time Dave Mustaine personally had me banned from the Megadeth message board.

[the supreme]

What will his move be, Suicide Bomb?:woot:


Tsk tsk. This is narrow minded and racist and shame on anyone who tries to explain their way out of it?

Is the person who said that white just out of interest??

[NotGood]

Ok ignoring the racist thread derailing attempts.

I would personally love to see Vega(Claw) in this game. However, it would be nice if they expanded his moveset and gave him some alternate normal moves and special moves when he loses his claw.

[felineki]

Street Fighter already has a character with a suicide bomb move, anyway. Q.

[ramberk]

Street Fighter already has a character with a suicide bomb move, anyway. Q.

OMG. lol. True.

Come think of it, Dan also has as reverse Raging Demon move where he loses almost all his life or some of it. But he doesn't use a bomb. Q literally explodes.

[SAPhoenix]

Wow. I get neg repped for explaining why T-hawk found the "Suicide bomb" post offensive? That's mature. :confused:

Anyway... did anyone read my previous post about including the chick from Super Muscle Bomber: The International Blowout?

[kenjiharima]

Not sure where to place this since the "New Character Thread" got locked so I figured this thread would be as good as any. :sweat:

itd be cool if they had the alpha 3 cast (which includes the new challengers) but without the wastes like, juni or juli (only one of them should remain), + 3rd strike chars, + original chars.

teh final fight crew needs to make a comeback in sfiv and most of all, KARIN. I mained her in alpha 3.

Crimson Viper or C.Viper (Thunder Hawk T.Hawk LOL) has an inspiration in design from the the fighting game KENICHI. Where Kenichi characters looks like a combination of SF characters with other anime characters. C.Viper's hair has a little alterations.

It's Miu from the Manga Kenichi in her School Uniform.

uh.. not even close... miu has blonde hair and pale skin as well as like a purple jumpsuit.

[Achroma]

All of them. No, seriously. ALL of them. And I want to see all of the moves from all of the games, like dashing and parries, you guys know what I'm talking about.

[kenjiharima]

uh.. not even close... miu has blonde hair and pale skin as well as like a purple jumpsuit.

That's why I pointed out the School Uniform. It's similar to C.Vipers and a few Alterations on hair and Skin color.

[[MRC]Playboy]

Makoto and Cody are the characters I like the most from Capcom's cast. Makoto is too young to be in SFIV and Cody was ass fucked a long time ago (rocks, handcuffs wtf... I mean, what's next? Parkinson's disease?).

Cammy is a distant third (but only in the SF2 attire).

Also from Arika: Vulcano Rosso (SFEX3) and Hong Gilson (Korean taekwondo guy from Fighting Layer), but I guess they are too much to ask since they don't belong to Capcom (however Kyosuke did make the jump).

And seriously if Capcom doesn't introduce a TKD character, they can go fuck themselves.

[Quivitar]

FOX
MARTH
SHEIK
FINAL DESTINATION

just kidding. Q would definitely make my purchase a sure thing (if it isn't allready), as he is my favorite in 3s (possibly the series entirely). guile making a return would be good as well.

im worried/skeptical about characters like balrog who rely fairly heavily on charge rushes... for some reason, the play style seems simplistic, and I feel like capcom would be working to change the game play to be more complex (which isnt necessarily a good thing). I figure that dudley was a "balrog" persona for SF3, and there is a noticeable difference between the two in terms of strategy. My point is I dont think Balrog would play the same if he came back to the series.

makotos dad plz

look at her suit he musta been a big beast

I am going to guess that there will be 24 characters in the game.

[wolf_1]

daniel larusso
johnny lawrence
mike barnes
john creese
terry silver

or bust

[Nairdas]

Okay, so we have:

Ryu
Ken
Chun-Li
Guile
Zangeif
Blanka
E.Honda
Dhalsim
C.Viper

Most likely Balrog, Sagat, and Vega are gonna be in the game. Thats 12 characters. The rest need to be new. Anymore brought back fighters is going to make a boring ass selection. Atleast for me.

[Strider2k2]

Where are my SF III characters?

[blufang]

Sheng Long, Akuma, Makato, Elena, Ibuki, Yun.

Definitely it can't be all returning characters, there should be as many new as there are old. Perhaps a Scandinavian fighter? A brazilian jujutsu specialist?

[kenjiharima]

What about SF1 characters? Like Joe and Geki?

They where pretty bad ass designs back then problem is the sprite designs sucks. Just be hopping CAPCOM would also pay attention to old SF1 characters who have potential to return. But if Ono said he's gonna focus on SSF2 turbo characters, then there's only a slim chance they've be in.

Hoping for a new character that looks better than C.Viper. and has better moves. I won't be surprised if it's another girl that has a RA-ZEN-GAN move opposed to C.Vipers Chidori. LOL

[Bass X0]

whoever doesn't get to appear in SFIV part one could always appear in part two. I'm thinking the first game will focus mostly on SFII characters with the second being more diverse in character selection from previous games.

[Nokato]

Sadly, Ono doesn't seem to understand despite of all this, the game is Street Fighter IV, yet its being treated as if it were Street Fighter World Warrior Revisited. Of course my post is probably going to be misconstrued because I'm not going along with everyone else saying, "zomg, SFIV is awesome!" but hear me out.

Yes, I know the game is currently in development and we could have a considerable amount of new characters--currently I've seen one. For this to be a new installment into the series, the aspect of new should be very important. Wanting to get the older players to be familiar with SFIV upon initially playing it is one thing--its another to completely abandon the issue of what the new characters will be like. As far as I'm concerned, the returning should've been time released--or if you're going to bombard us with characters we've already seen--you might as well show us the entire cast, at least fans won't feel robbed that all we've seen so far are characters that we've all played before.

Don't get me wrong--obviously I like SF2 characters--but in terms of competitive play I'd like to see some new characters. We all have seen how each of the returning characters play in respective SF upgrades, I think its time for some new characters. Its a shame that 3s' "failure" is causing Capcom to be afraid to make new characters without having to slap on (ALL 8?!!!!) returning characters to the roster before they debut anyone else new. Its tough for me to keep interest in a game that looks like the same game I played in 1989, just with "better" (which is HIGHLY arguable) graphics.

Right now, the only thing that will rejuvenate my interest which is mild at this time, would be new characters. I don't like how this game looks--and I'll probably have to deal with it but I at least want to see new characters.

[Bass X0]

I understand completely, Nakoto.

Hopefully the eight will be a third of the total number of characters in the game just so the game doesn't feel like Capcom vs. SNK 1 with none of the SNK side.

[Nairdas]

Damn I forgot about Akuma, so that is 13 old ass characters on this roster so far. I really hope this game has over 20 characters then. 13-14 old characters, so we need atleast 13 or 14 new characters. God, I hope Ono doesn't get extra boring with this fucking cast.

[Capn Spanky]

So basically this is SF3:Alpha....

I don't know if I like the idea. I felt so comfortable with the SF3 roster. Anyone think that Dan will show up?

[goodm0urning]

You guys are acting like the game will be all SF2 characters. This is pretty much definitely not the case.

[pootnannies]

hopefully we'll know for sure on the 15th!!!

[Sasmasta]

:hope:

True that.

[crazydiamond]

T. Hawk and Gief, both without grab-whiff-animation, pure goodness.

Your Av - They really screwed up that 2007 version didn't they? 1993 one was much better proportioned.

Oh and SF4 characters? Um have more new characters that fit the type of designs that the SFII characters sport. So it doesn't look like the classics vs the "new guys".

[Atb_555]

A little dicky bird tells me that a new character will be unveilved this friday, watch this space http://www.capcom.co.jp/sf4/

[Lvl.3]

I remember someone saying Alex's mentor/teacher (The guy that looks like actor Jean Reno) should be in the game. I think that would be a good choice whomever came up with that.

[coco_j]

^ Tom. That would be cool, but I don't see why Alex himself couldn't be in it.

Well, if pre-elemental Gill is in the game, we get to see the rivalry that injured Tom. Maybe he was trying to stop Gill from obtaining all that power. (where did that elemental power come from, who the hell know ;P )

Also, wouldn't Alex be a young teen or kid? I think Ono wants to stay loyal to the story and leave the SF3 cast in SF3, as the New Generation.

[crazydiamond]

"story" aside. It would be interesting to see how the SF3 characters played without parry. Elena would be pretty meaty. As would Necro!

you could always go into system direction and turn off parry to see how it looks like. although i don't see how anyone in the cast would go up or down the tier chain

I don't see it

Things like this piss me off--honestly we are way beyond the time that Capcom needs to be hyping shit. We know its coming out--the game looks like " what it is" just show us the characters and stop with this High-School girl bullshit. This is very aggrevating and doesn't make people want to play or like the game anymore than if they just showed the game. If anything it'll make people NOT want to play it.

People are going to be at the game shop...

Guy 1: "I'm here for SF4! Dude, are you going to buy it?"

Guy 2: "Nah, Capcom took too long to give away all the new characters, so fuck this game."

[Nokato]

Yeah, sure. People are going to be at the game shop...

You got me on the not buying part. I guess what I should've said was--I meant people would stop caring if all they see are World warrior characters.

Edit: Yeah, I just saw the new character...very lol....:rofl:

[DevilJin 01]

I'm guessing there'll be about 3 or 4 new characters along with the original 8. They might even throw in the boss characters by release. Who knows. I know I want more than 10 characters for the first version of SFIV. Really interested in how the new characters will play tho.

[crazydiamond]

Although this is kinda getting off topic now, but if there were no parries in 3S it would definately make some characters a more viable option to play. For example a lot of Hugos moves aren't used liberally because they come out so slowly and are easily parried. With parry removed the only risk in performing the moves would be a counter that could stop the move. Not to mention anti-airs! Necro would definitely get pushed up the roster. Alex too.

Hugo would suck even more. Trust me. Without parry he is fucking done. He would be so free for characters like Yang and Akuma. Sure he has decent pokes but every other character has just as good or better pokes than he does. Plus...his hit box is incredibly large and parry is one of the things that saves his insanely huge hitbox from sucking even more. He's also not Zangief. He doesn't have very good ticks into 360's and Zangief is a ninja compared to the sloth that is Hugo. His walk speed is terrible and his dash isn't much better. Yun would rape him 10-0 without parry. Hugo has no anti air that can consistantly beat dive kicks. Even Alex wouldn't be able to do anything. Hugo would literally just sit and watch dive kicks eat him alive. At least with parry he has some kind of fighting chance. Without parry...Hugo literally isn't designed for SF3. The Chun and Ken matchups wouldn't be much better IMO. Still can't jump...pokes are a bit better on the ground. Yet...without parry Hugo really doesn't have what he needs to be scary. He would need better tick setups, better 360 range and not be so stupid slow.

As far as the other characters...I dunno. I guess some of them would become less predictable without being able to option select parry them down (Remy, Necro etc.) but then again option selecting is what they do to keep themselves unpredictable as well. YCK would still rape everyone else. Some characters may be able to put up more of a fight with some new traps or tricks they may gain without the parry system but...still rape for top 3. You would need to do more than remove parry to really give the lower tiers the upper hand in 3rd. YCK is too strong. They simply have better options...even before parry than the rest of the cast. Akuma and a couple other characters would probably be the only exceptions.

Are you joking?

It looks like there's gonna be more than a few new characters...

Look at this way the Brazillian EGM rumours which turned out to be true said that there were gonna be 2 new female characters, one of them of course is C. Viper, next we have Abel and Ono has hinted about Gouken or Sheng Long being in the game. So that 4 new characters on top of the existing 8, not to mention the fact that Abel's storyline is about finding the shadaloo remainers - which of course isn't the original 8 but maybe the bosses....

So we're looking about at least over a dozen characters...

Hopefully:)

[Nokato]

All I know is this game needs less Abel, and more not Abel...

[DevilJin 01]

snip

Even then...that's still like 4 new characters. Crimson, Abel and the 2 other people you mentioned. I mean there's so many famed SF characters from the series already that they could excite people with each new version of SFIV by throwing in another favorite from one of their series. Hell...they wouldn't even really need new characters then. LOL.

Seriously though...I'm definitely hoping for more than a few new characters but I guess it depends on what Ono has in mind for the first release of the game. I figured the slow announcement of all the new characters means he's trying to build up for the fact that there won't be that many new characters.

My attention span isn't robust enough to read all that but you've obviously illustrated my point that removing parrying would greatly alter the effectiveness of characters.

Denjin Ryu wouldn't be in the game if there was no parrying. :lol:

The only thing you need to remember is that Hugo would be useless without parry.
