New Nationalities? a.k.a. the SF4 Spam Thread

[KindredSpiritz]

What new nationalities would you like to see?

So far there's been: Japan, USA, UK, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, India, Russia, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, Jamaica, Kenya, Egypt


I wouldn't mind seeing:

Australia, Canada, South Africa, South Korea, Ireland, Netherlands, Turkey, Bangladesh, Samoa...


What about you?

[hubcapsignstop]

Schenectadians

[Gaijinblaze]

who's egyptian?

[Septimus Prime]

Gill, right? At least it's so implied in Urien's ending.

[Corner-Trap]

I'd like to see more Filipinos

[Hol Horse]

Rose's Italian nationality was only assumed (her real nationality is unknown and tied with dictator's), I'd actually like to get a proper Italian character - and witha proper name: something that's still missing from fighting games since every other "Italian" character in a mainstream (and even niche) fighting game had all but an actual Italian name

[Sasmasta]

Is Urien supposed to be Mexican [or of Mexican descent]?

"Why do you ask?"

His stage is in Mexico.

My friend and I were talking about this yesterday...

And hey, the thread starter put Samoa! LoL. I put that in the 'WE WANT A BULGARIAN' thread and got negged. :wasted: [Though I was borderline serious/sarcastic.]

[Einlanzer]

who's egyptian?

in double impact, uriens stage was egypt, so we assume he's egyptian.

[Hellion]

Let's hear it for the Irish capoeira sensation!

[thrust07]

They need a Filipino Arnis fighter... but he has to be ENTIRELY STEREOTYPICAL...

Dude needs to be dressed in a ragged ass shirt, shorts, and bright ass flip flops... and for his stage there needs to be people in the background eating at a table with off of a banana leaf plate. And the chef is roasting a pig over a fire spit. Someone just cracked open a balut...

Short black hair and brown skin just like Pacquiao.

LOL I'm having too much fun here and am kidding for the most part. If you couldn't tell, I'm Filipino and the fighter doesn't need to be stereotypical, actually I'd rather he not... But having an arnis fighter or other weapon holder would be nice.

Or even a lightweight boxer type.... hmmmm... :lol:

[thrust07]

Arright, we got three votes for Filipinos, and two for a boxer... any other takers?

[woof]

i want a character that speaks esperanto

[Wut_da_Heck]

[Duy Nguyen]

Vietnam!!!

Unless Dudley is Vietnamese, since we could never settle what ethnicity he is.

Edit: I meant ethnicity not nationality, woopsies.

[ObsidianZ]

Moar HK people. And kill off that commie whore Chun-li.

Heh.


Vietnam!!!

Unless Dudley is Vietnamese, since we could never settle what nationality he is.

What? He's black, speaks with an English accent, his stage is in Britain.....

How the hell do you get vietnam out of that?


*ObZ

[Monte]

Vietnam!!!

Unless Dudley is Vietnamese, since we could never settle what nationality he is.

you mean ethnicity. Dudley is from England.

[buyproduct]

They should have a cuban in it. He should have a beard, cigar and hat like fidel. He should be a guerilla fighter.

[Zandwich]

they need 2 add someone from astrala that fight w/ a bumerang and a kangarow

[NotANoob81]

Canada?
Canada sucks.

[SuicidalGrandpa]

How about some Drunken Boxer from Ireland?

[DS]

What about a Pakistani character?

[EvilSamurai]

Irish guy who practices the drunken boxer style of kung fu.

[goodm0urning]

Norse guy in a Viking hat, please.

[Nives]

Iraq, Ethiopia, Greenland ...

[EvilSamurai]

Norse guy in a Viking hat, please.

that would be awesome. Make him have throwing axes and some kind of Berserker super where he gets increased damage, custom combo, or something. The only problem is that Vikings do not really fit into the world of Street Fighter.

[starlegions]

Kazakhstan, Borat the Fighter

[Shin Sho-oh-ken]

Kazakhstan, Borat the Fighter

LOL!!!! Best one ever.

[Hyulvinji]

You all know deep inside that SF needs a Norwegian fighter..

Name: Heidi Solbakken
Style: Halling (trad. folk dance)

Or

Name: Leif Eriksson
Style: Viking Drunken Grappling

[platinum_pinoy]

Add a character whose fighting technique is curbstomp style.

[Corner-Trap]

They need a Filipino Arnis fighter... but he has to be ENTIRELY STEREOTYPICAL...

More people need to vote for Filipinos.

Vietnam!!!

Unless Dudley is Vietnamese, since we could never settle what nationality he is.

Isn't he just black but is of British Nationality?

Iraq, Ethiopia, Greenland ...

Go Ethiopia :clap:

[Biolink]

An Australian boxer that's a speed character instead of the traditional huge ass truck like Mike Bison and Dudley

[Monte]

I don't buy the Urien represents mexico nonsense. Capcom caught Urien on a business trip in Mexico when 3s was made. There needs to be a true Aztec warrior in SF4. Someone HECHO EN MEXICO

[MAGUS1234]

VIVE!!! He should be a flamenco guitarist.

[Radiantsilvergun3]

An Irish Bare knuckle Boxer.

[ohayo1234]

Vietnamese baby!

[jabhadouken]

What? He's black, speaks with an English accent, his stage is in Britain.....

How the hell do you get vietnam out of that?

It's been argued that he is, in actuality, an Indonesian-Indian Englishman.


Why don't we get a TKD fighter? Y'know some guy (or gal) who is out to prove it's not merely a sport - kinda like E. Honda's story arc in SF2... but without the never-ending buffet, um, ending.

[kof4life]

I've wondered that myself. Or any Korean characters for that matter. SF, to my recollection, has never had a Korean character.

[jabhadouken]

Yeah - and doesn't look like the only "stays dead" X-man!

...or his little bro.

[ringopan]

i hope the new boxer type character for sf4 is a manny pacquiao clone, since the past 2 boxers (rog and dud) have been heavyweights.

name him like MACPAN in the game instead of PACMAN.

[Avery]

I'm all for the Filipino.

How about a fighter from Morocco? Also, I'd like someone from Ireland who fights with that "drunken" style (for even more fun, make it a chick).

[Kyokuji]

The hell's the point of including Canada? Physically and culturally in a lot of ways, its people are indistinguishable from America's anyway. Unless you wanna take the "Fuck yeah America' route and plaster the Canadian flag all over them or something.

[imprezaru]

filipinos are too short to be put into a fighting game. plus what what kind of fighting style would they have? anyway i wouldn't mind having a fighter from korea or canada.

[OneInchPunch]

^^^
Google kali, arnis, escrima aka down and dirty fighting, just how i like it =)

[epp1e]

filipinos are too short to be put into a fighting game. plus what what kind of fighting style would they have? anyway i wouldn't mind having a fighter from korea or canada.

Just like OneInchPunch said, Eskrima's a good one to look up. You should check out Human Weapon, a show on the History channel about different fighting styles and two guys that try to learn them + fight a master in that style.

Let's see... I think we need a Korean

[Buktooth]

vietnamese guy that sets up bamboo traps

and hella special moves that call 63278 other viets for assists

and karaoke / coffee / squatting / pool playing win poses

[.Free.]

a norweigan viking or a Madagascan- someone from Madagascar

[Murt!]

Urien's race is ambiguous. With his being the brother of Gill we can only assume that the color we see him as before he vaporizes his clothes is his true skin color.

[Silks]

Canada?
Canada sucks.

haha, I was going to say, "canadians don't fight lol"

[SNK Fan]

Any pacific islander fighter, be it Samoan, Pilipino, or Hawaiian.

[KindredSpiritz]

So far we have:

A Vietnamese martial artist.

An Irish boxer.

A Samoan wrestler.

[Are_you_okay?!]

S. Korea could be cool, since they are on a Japan level of techno wonder. I could see him being all fashionable and stuff. No idea on a fighting style lol.

We should have a fighter from Greenland and one from Iceland duke it out.

[The Electrifying One]

tae kwon do Korean fighter

lightweight cuban boxer

Samoan grappler/submission fighter

Bare knuckle gypsy boxer

[Gimpy]

VIVE!!! He should be a flamenco guitarist.


Don Flamenco from Mike Tyson's Punch Out?? :lol:

[Dencore]

Maybe the new Street Fighter you go through time to fight people?

Like you can go back to the Sengoku age and fight Samurai or go into the future and fight Cyborgs from New York City?

.....Nah that's a stupid idea.

Back on Topic I'd say South Korea.

[thrust07]

Neg repped??? Here? Just for giving out opionions on a game that isn't even out yet?

Real childish, folks. I could care less about online reputation, but that's just childish and lame.

[Barsx101]

If Q doesn't return, he needs to be replaced by a cyborg........ and his name should be fedor

[KindredSpiritz]

S. Korea could be cool, since they are on a Japan level of techno wonder. I could see him being all fashionable and stuff. No idea on a fighting style lol.

South Korea would be excellent, I can imagine a punk girl from there... Or a Tae Kwon Do artist.

[rusbar]

might as well have him wearing a barong :clap:

[F.Y.C.N.]

Bare knuckle gypsy boxer

if you are suggesting something in the vein of what Brad Pitt played in Snatch then yes... fuck yes that would be sick... especially if the character is all tatted up and rocks a dirty green fedora

[mikechong]

Thailand!!!

Well, I know Thais are disproportionately represented in SF, but a good guy/girl this time.

Jeez, from SF and animes and stuff I'm thinking that the Japanese have something against Thais or something...

[thrust07]

Neg repped again. Nice. Whoever you are, kid, you continue to prove how much of an immature ignoramus you are, and how little of an asset you are to the SRK community (and the rest of the fucking world) by pestering it's members.

Much thanks and respect to all the other guys who POS Repped me for my insight and ideas. Respect gets respect, and likewise.

Oh, and to that guy who cowardly neg repped me... I ask you do it again to prove my point. That you're a cowardly pest that's taking up space on the internet with nothing better to do with your life than try to belittle others. I hope that stays with you forever when you post. Idiot.

__________________

Well, now that's off my chest... if the filipino guy is gonna be in a barong, why don't we just have him do a fight intro with him doing the tinikling stick dance or drinking San Miguel and eating chicaron pork rinds? The possibilities are endless!!!

[Meynizzle]

I haven't seen a Korean TKD fighter yet, that would be pretty dope.


Agreed about the Filipino fighters, FMA is nothing to be trifled with. That was the last thing a lot of Japanese soldiers saw in WW2. :P

[ryuzero12]

Hopefully we can finally get someone from Canada or "Down Under" Austrailia.

[OhNoos]

You need a fighter from Switzerland, when you select him he'll just sit in the background of the next few matches and watch.

[spudlyff8fan]

How about we make the new Sean a Canadian?

Sean is useless. Canada is useless. Perfect fit.

[buyproduct]

We need south americans who are not Brazilians. A Colombian druglord who puts you in stun by sprinkling coke in your face or a communist guerilla fighter who would be guile's rival.

[Daigo Jr]

i want a vietnamese CHICK
and everything else 'buktooth' said.
i posted in this thread before, but i can't find my post.lol

[BigBad]

:lol::rofl::rofl:

Never thought I'd see so many votes to put a Pinoy in the game. Hey, even if it's stereotypical it's funny.

Personally though, I'd like to see an Irishman make an appearance, but then stereotypes holding up he'd be too much like Dudley, only drunk. He has a cool accent though.

[Biolink]

A tae-kwon-do using Korean.

[Manx]

I want my militant black guy back. Dudley was great for 3, but yall know why Birdie wasn't in it? Too busy playin' dat Madden. :tup:

[ringopan]

some more suggestions:
- a lightweight boxer (probably of mexican, japanese, or filipino origin based on current boxing scene)
- a bad ass russian sambo/ex-kgb guy (a nice change of pace from the goofy zangief, similar to the contrast between dudley and balrog)
- and..... i would like to see the return of blatant stereotypes (in at least a FEW characters). maybe a hawaiian hula dancing chick? a kenyan marathon runner? an australian outback dude?

[toxic025]

The Rock would be cool since hes an islander. Peoples Elbow would be his Super Art

[Sasmasta]

LoL. NO!

If your going to make a character Samoan, you might as well follow the stereotype. That is: Big, Fat, Tattooed, and more or less looking like a 1st string lineman. And before you go getting butthurt [especially to those that AREN'T Samoan], I am Samoan. So if anything, I should be offended, but I'm not, because its truth.

Whatever you do, don't slap him in a Hawaiian shirt or else people will think he's E.Honda from Street Fighter the Movie. :wasted: :yes:

But as for this grappler/wrestler style, I agree with you on that. :tup: Headbutt->360 Fa'a Slam for the win!

[EveryFlowerFlow]

Hey mike, this is the other mike from seth's a couple weeks back.

Don't trip about rep dude, it really means nothing, and complaining about it only makes people neg you more... SRK is like that, lots of hate. :sweat:

i'd like to see somebody doing some taekwon do, some korean fighters would be nice.

[Biolink]

Are Korean's the only one's that practice Tae-kwon-do? :rofl:

[honda_pimp_slap]

Icaeland, Greenland, North Pole

[*InVeRs3*]

Yeah, a filipino dude would rock.

instead of haduken, he'll shout out "BATUKAN!"

And he'll have a special move called the "barrel move." it'll be like rock and geese's counters, except that when you do the barrel move you'll surround yourself in a barrel, if you hit him, the barell will break and you'll be whipped by a huge cock.

[Omski2k4]

a real rastafarian would be awesome.

[Hayama Akito]

A Latin American (South American better) character who isnt a fucking green beast or a native who doesnt look Latin American at all please...

[megakuma]

Adding new characters is great, but I only hope that Capcom doesn't make SF4 resemble KOF (with tons of characters) too much.

[BunnyHead]

I'd say add another Latino

I'm sure Vega is considered Latino though Spain is in Europe
(he is the man! who do u know mixes Bullfighting with Ninjutsu?)
not sure about T.Hawk, he's in mexico but he's native american right?

but I wanna see like a Puerto Rican, Peruvian, Venzuelan or a Domincan that would be cool.

[BigBad]

And he'll have a special move called the "barrel move." it'll be like rock and geese's counters, except that when you do the barrel move you'll surround yourself in a barrel, if you hit him, the barell will break and you'll be whipped by a huge cock.

Fucking barrelman move would rock. Too bad it's not "serious" enough. But hey, maybe there will be a joke character in 4.

Now that I think about it, I'd actually like to see Capcom make a character based on Dan Inosanto. That'd be bad-ass.

[Shin Sho-oh-ken]

We need someone from Guam.

[{PFH}-Lake]

Ill I want is a Robot, Dinosaur and a midget in SF4. Why does Capcom hate midgets?

[thrust07]

Now that I think about it, I'd actually like to see Capcom make a character based on Dan Inosanto. That'd be bad-ass.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Inosanto

Yeah it would be... I can imagine a character that would be slender, and can switch styles from bareknuckle strikes/grappling to quick arnis stickfighting strikes. First imagine a bunch of quick stick combo pokes at the beginning of the round, then he puts the weapons away and does shootfighting/grapple/ground tactics.

You could even integrate his storyline... since Dan Inosanto is a student of Bruce Lee, he could be Fei Long's student. And his stage would be in front of his dojo in a run down neighborhood... I imagine somewhere in SoCal, or even in Oakland (Bruce's real life spot).

Wow.

[Pyreen]

Some top tier ideas so far. We have:

An irish drunk boxer

Grappler from Oceania

Asian dude that is not from JPN or China, pref. using a weapons based MA


We need:

Pablo, the streetfighting gas station employee (with overalls)

Khalim, whose moves need to feature ambushes and selfmade explosives (he should play like the arab D. Dark)

An eskimo

[seantree]

yup the irish guy has to be drunk and have potato projectiles :) I think an Irishman would be cool though if only for his accent during moves/win quotes.

[DevilJin 01]

Ill I want is a Robot, Dinosaur and a midget in SF4. Why does Capcom hate midgets?

Cuz midgets are disabled.

[temjin747]

I'm for the following:

-Pakistani/Indian/Bangladeshi girl; that would be cool.
-Korean character, but NO Tae Kwon Do! The last thing SF needs is a Kim clone. That character should do Hapkido intsead :)
-Irish fighter, but I don't want to play into stereotypes; he should do something totally different
-An Eastern European fighter; I don't recall anybody from there in fighting games
-A South American (non-Brazilian) fighter; nothing against Brazilians but they're the only ones from SA in fighting games (that I know of)

If anything maybe we could have fighters that represent as many different regions of the world as possible. I would also like it if they didn't fall into stereotypes as well

[bodler]

haitian fighter that curses while fighting and trows rocks.

[alchemist78]

I wouldnt mind seeing samoa either, or canada

[ObsidianZ]

Why a canadian? Hell, I'm canadian and I don't see the big difference between us and america (in this context).

What, are you going to have a lumberjack or something? There's an idea, instead of Zangief, the new grappler will be a huge canadian lumberjack.

*ObZ

[ShinGouki00]

Where my peruvians at. :tup:

[{PFH}-Lake]

Cuz midgets are disabled. midgets are only disabled in real life.

And have someone from Ireland, he or she would have bar fighting skills

[YuuFone]

Is Urien supposed to be Mexican [or of Mexican descent]?

"Why do you ask?"

His stage is in Mexico.

My friend and I were talking about this yesterday...

And hey, the thread starter put Samoa! LoL. I put that in the 'WE WANT A BULGARIAN' thread and got negged. :wasted: [Though I was borderline serious/sarcastic.]

his stage is in mexico but i don't think that means he's from mexico

and necro and 12 are not russian :bgrin:

[KindredSpiritz]

I think Urien is Egyptian along with Gill but your stage doesn't necessarily mean your nationality like Cammy and Greece in SFA3 and M. Bison and Brazil in SFA2.

But still I think all stages should represent the fighter's nationality in SF4 like it has been done in SF 2 and SF 3.

I would like to a decent British person someone who is or who is like Colonel Wolfman from Cammy's Delta Red.

[bodler]

a korean taekkyun fighter? http://youtube.com/watch?v=M6GbLcerYPg

[MiyagiShin X]

midgets are only disabled in real life.

And have someone from Ireland, he or she would have bar fighting skills

A move that invloves the consumption of Beer would be great.
And he's gotta have the accent

[chopperbyrne]

I assume you mean the stereotypical accent seen in almost everything American made about Ireland?

[MiyagiShin X]

Very much so. Its Irish people they wont be offended only honored.

[OmNiExiZt]

There was a canadian (Wolf Hawkfield) and an Australian (Jeffery McWild) in the virtua fighter series. Also, cross mixing nationalities with styles just aint right. If I'm mexican and I lived in mexico all my life, why in the hell did I bother learning ninjutsu as opposed to boxing. The style should be consistent to the nationality. I know of course that the mixing adds depth to the character, but it just seems unpractical to me. I don't know, I guess it really shoudn't matter.

*ONEZ*

[princepwnage]

That is a good point, but in the pluralistic world we live in today it's inevitable that nationality will not be consistent with discipline. Just look at the martial arts originating in the Far East now being practiced in the US and Brazil, don't be surprised if you see a European aikido fighter in SF IV!

Canadian spiritual Inuit female fighter would be good dressed in fur! An Australian wrestler would be ace too! I like the idea of having an Indian or Pakistani or Bangladeshi female fighter someone previously mentioned!

[DutchieD]

A dutch thai boxer like Peter Aerts wearing clogs and having a spliff in his mouth

i wanna see a haitian with a machete.....

don't get mad i'm haitian

also dudley is indian like dhalsim, he's all proper like that as an opposite to how savage dhalsim's character design was... also he's indian cus it shows how history has influenced the indian culture through british and european exposure.

blargh

yea thats right imma practice a martial art based around yoga but carry around shrunken heads around my neck and set fools on fire. NO ONE IS OFFENDED LOL

[goodm0urning]

yea thats right imma practice a martial art based around yoga but carry around shrunken heads around my neck and set fools on fire. NO ONE IS OFFENDED LOLHey, I love a good stereotype. I like to beat the game with Zangief, because Russians obviously Cossack dance with Mikhail Gorbachev to celebrate pretty much everything.

Especially ST, which was released after the fall of the Soviet Union.

[CoolWater]

I still think Makoto shoulda been black. AND WTF HAPPENED TO T-HAWK. I mean, he sucked but there's always room for change. They can make a total T-Hawk makeover making him into a lucha libre. LuCHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And FUCK Balrog. Id rather NOT see a black character in the game than that guy thank you very much. And I would LOVE to see an irishman in the fray. Or a Scott in a kilt. Awesomeness!

[rush down]

Keep the stereotypes, it makes things simple.

Well I don't think the previous nations really had their stereotypes fully explored. We have had like 8 Japanese characters and none of them wear glasses, have funny teeth, eat poop, and like 12 year olds. Unless there is more to Honda that we don't know.

[Murt!]

When are people gonna let go of this "Dudley was Indian" crap. He's fucking black.

[chopperbyrne]

Very much so. Its Irish people they wont be offended only honored.

I'd prefer a knacker to be honest.

It's what we call Brad Pitts character in Snatch.

Except he would have to look like one of the other knackers in that film with a dodgy jumper and mullet.

[Spin Drive Smasher]

I hope that Capcom does get some new countries into the mix with SF4. The series actually isn't as diverse as many people would think because such a large amount of the cast is concentrated in USA and Asia.

My main wishes for new characters/nationalities in SF4 would be:
1. An Australian character, even if it's a stereotypical crocodile hunter or whatever. I mean, the closest SF has to an Australian character was Kylie Minogue playing Cammy in the live-action movie! :sweat:

2. A new African character, and he or she better not be from Kenya. It's actually quite surprising that Elena is the first and, so far, only character from Africa in the series.

3. A South American character who isn't from Brazil. Brazil is great and everything, but there actually are other countries in South America. There's a lot to choose from: Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, or even Colombia (though I'd be predicting a Shakira ripoff for that one though)...

Bonus: A penguin from Antarctica. :wink:

[Wellman]

When are people gonna let go of this "Dudley was Indian" crap. He's fucking black.

QFT.

I can only guess at where the rumor started from.

[DietSoap]

They should retry T-Hawk like someone already said... How was he so bad again?

And co-sign on an Australian, I'd prefer a stereotype myself. :rofl:

And we need a badass cowboy. He would be a total ass, and it would rock. :bgrin:

I still think Makoto shoulda been black. AND WTF HAPPENED TO T-HAWK. I mean, he sucked but there's always room for change. They can make a total T-Hawk makeover making him into a lucha libre. LuCHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When are people gonna let go of this "Dudley was Indian" crap. He's fucking black.

QFT.

I can only guess at where the rumor started from.

Well to be fair, he doesn't have black features, and his hair is straight.

On the other hand he is tanned and doesn;t have typical caucasian features either. i think i read somewhere he's a mixture of boxers from different nationalities resulting in a funky looking character.

I want to know when are people gonna let go of this " dudley is a cool character, he's ours" crap.

[bodler]

who the fuck said makoto shoulda been black??? LOOOOLOLLL.

who cares about if dudley is black or indian, as long as he fights like gentlemen..

[ruthless_nash]

whatever nationalities, please go back to stereotypes. the guy who said Irish brawler is spot on. SF2 was based on stereotypes and martial artists and it should go back to that.

SF3 had some awesome designs, but it also had some gay ass ones too. tweleve? Q? GTFO with that shit.. i wanna see a taekwondo guy, vale tudo guy, and any other an MMA guy, maybe we could have a chracter based on judo where most of his specials will be counters and throws.

i wanna see an australian aboriginee, a south african rugly player, a scotsman in a kilt, a canadian mountee, an italian mafia in a suit, you get the idea.

Well Chun li has thunder thighs and she's asian
(no offense)

besides maybe Dudley has a perm
....or maybe he used Labelle to gel his hair down.

I think Dudley is black
I dun never even heard the indian stuff

are u guys are confusing him with Darun Mister?

I'm glad Makato wasnt black
she's a corny ass bitch anyway

[chopperbyrne]

To me, Dudley looks Indian and there are a lot of well off Indians in Britain so it would make sense.

Darun Mister needs to come back. Best character in EX by far.

[KindredSpiritz]

I think Dudley is mixed race like Mel B from the spice girls, though I don't think he's British born of Indian origin, Dudley as a name doesn't sound subcontinental.

Back to the topic:

As far as nations go so far many people in this thread have wanted as new nations:

Ireland, South Korea, Australia, Phillipines, Samoa, Canada, Vietnam.

Surely there's more!

[ruthless_nash]

thats a good list there i think. its a shame chances are the game is 75% complete

[KindredSpiritz]

How are you sure? I'm quite certain that Capcom were asking for feedback and ideas for SF IV on the Capcom forums. But if it's 75% complete, that's a yay because it will be released sooner than we think!

[Kyokugen]

While SF never had fighters from those places, some others did.

Jeff from VF is from Australia. Brad is Italian. Wolf is from Canada. And he kicks ass.


As for SF, I agree with the gypsy bare knuckle boxer. It'd be badass to have a few hard ass actual street fighters in street fighter.


Edit: It makes complete sense that Dudley could be Indian. And he would be even more badass (if that were somehow possible) if that were true.

[{PFH}-Lake]

Wouldnt mind having a Belly Dancer fighting chick

[Gutter Trash]

some fighters stage in countries that are not their home country.

Sean staged in New York in New Generation then went back to Sao Paolo in 2nd Impact.

Bison staged in Thailand, Brazil, Venezuela and another one in Alpha 3 which I don't remember where.

I seriously doubt that Urien is either Egyptian or Mexican.
He probably stages there in some relation to ancient Pyramids harnessing power or stuff like that of the unexplained mystical blabla of the ancients.

Yeah, it seems like Tekken also seems to upstage Street Fighter concerning nationalities with nations such as South Korea, Australia, Ireland and Monaco.

For goodness sake Dudley is not of Indian descent, he's black British.

LOL...surprisingly I'm not entirely laughing my ass off at someone who suggested a Canadian mountie. Depending on how it's styled, he could be a really cool character, I'm thinking a lighter guy, MMA fighter. Give his fighting style the multicultural flavour of our country and it could be really fun. That said, he doesn't need the red jacket and big hat, he could look more like Kevin from MotW, too.

Kairi is owned by Arika thus not being part of official SF Canon. Hokuto and Kairi were just extra Japanese characters, nationality wise it would be nice if they created a non-Japanese character like Kairi. But sorry to disappoint ya, but there's as much as chance as Pullum being in Marvel Super heroes than Kairi in SF IV

i think we should have another black fighter, and he should be based on Kimbo.


His super art could be like.. "Mega Punch" where he just does like a 3 or 4 punch combo but the final punch is so powerful his opponents eyeball becomes dislodged.. just an idea.


but really. put Kimbo in SF4

Edit: make him a Canadian too, so that way everyone can be all pissed off that this super jacked, badass black dude is from canada.

What's a Kimbo? I don't mind another black char if he's not just another berzerking thug/hyperactive psycho like Barlog and Birdie/Dee-Jay. Dudley was class all the way.

Anyway SF is known for its non-traditional characters. They take the idea of "street fighter" literally and come up with these wild characters. A generic MMA fighter doesn't seem likely because Alex already seems like one slightly. When thinking of chars for SF one has to think outside of the box and not just slapping on a leather jacket/boots like all those KoF nutjob chars.

[bodler]

the best ideas right now

1: middle aged baji quan fighter, with no relation to all the other chinese characters in past sf games exemple chun gen yun etc.

2: young taekkyun fighter

idont see what other types that could fit into sf4 right now

[Gimpy]

Well they need a new muay thai fighter that fights like a 2-d version of bruce from T5:DR or Joe Higashi when he was in the later KOF games. Could aslo put a Kyokushin fighter in there with a move similiar to Ryu and Ken but also has his own attacks and not a head swap pf Makoto.

Leave out Korean TKD chars. I think SNK mashed on that gimmick so hard it's off limits.

If there's that much demand for a non-traditional asian character, I say take a cue from World Heroes and start with Mongolia. J.Carn's been repping that country by himself forever, while all the countries around it get proper representation. Where's the love? :bluu:

Personally, i'd like to see a real New Yorker. Alex was ALMOST there...but they gave him long, California blonde hair, and a Mario pipe-green jumper. No good... :shake:

However, if you really want to go the distance with a new nationality, knock on Iceland's door. Most mispronounced character name in SF history. Guaranteed.

Honestly a Filipino Escrima fighter would be the coolest addition, since Eagle's style is completely different than the fluid motions of Escrima.

Aren't Juni, Juli and one of non-playable Dolls from Germany too? Though I suppose three brainwashed robots aren't the kind of "respectable" improvements you'd be hoping for.

Speaking of the Dolls, I'm surprised that almost all of them come from countries that were already represented by other SF characters. I was going to say that one of them could come back to represent a new nationality in SF4, but the only Doll from a previously unrepresented country is Santamu, and fans aren't even sure if she's supposed to be Vietnamese. :xeye:

Two more countries I'd like to see represented in SF4: Ireland and Greece. Unless Gill and Urien being similar to Greek Gods already fills the "Greek" quota. D:

Also, Hugo and Andore (from Final Fight) are different.


While Hugo is German, Andore is suspected to be Italian. You fight him in the basement of a bistro/deli/restaurant in Little Italy in Final Fight: Streetwise. Cap made him look quite a bit different than Hugo, too.

Rolento is German.


That's not actually true, if you read his profile it cites that he's American, born in Metro City but has German and Italian heritage.

I understand what Math is saying about the Eskrima Grand Masters... BUT there are plenty of other ways to design a character to make him look humbly dressed. It would be poor character design to display the filipino stereotype of flip flops and ragged shorts, as well as mocking filipinos (as if we don't need more shit in the media degrading filipinos). I joked about this in the early pages of the thread.

Yeah but if they're modeled after Greek athletes, it doesn't necessarily make them Greek, the Graeco Empires spanned across Egypt, India and Macedonia.

But then again I'd say Greece would be the best conclusion. Test tube kids do have a nationality- what country they are produced.

I don't think nationality and martial art is synonymous these days! SF has Shotokan fighters from the United States and Brazil, wrestlers from Russia and Germany and a ninjitsu from Spain.

and his stage has to be a halting site with caravans, a fire and kids riding on pieball ponies and with mongrel dogs being held on blue rope as a leash.
And with a lot of other knackers betting on it in the backround, and they have to get the accent right...

and his stage has to be a halting site with caravans, a fire and kids riding on pieball ponies and with mongrel dogs being held on blue rope as a leash.
And with a lot of other knackers betting on it in the backround, and they have to get the accent right...

Also dudley is black, end of.

Yes!!!

Have Miley and Biddy in the background.

O Holy God!

A Maori wrestler from New Zealand would be ace

Fuck no. The only thing Maori's are good for is playing guitar.

If they make a Samoan, his style should be kick boxing hands down. Base him off Mark Hunt/ Ray Sefo. His walking backwards animation should have him with his guard completey lowered. Actually have his standing and walking forward animations with his guard lowered too.

I'd like to see for once a canadian in the SF game. eh?

Uhhh this is nationalities not career jobs you dumb a$$

[Tiberious]

What is your proof? Please do not pass off speculation as fact.

I have some proof for ya:

46_A_GRE.ADX
47_B_GRE.ADX
48_C_GRE.ADX

Taken from the filenames for 3S's music on the DC. Considering all the other evidence, I think it's safe to say Gill's supposed to be Greek (note the 2I Hidden Shrine was in Egypt, but considering ancient Greek and Egyptian cultures interacted quite a bit, why would that be a problem?).

For the curious, other abbreviations for locales are: NYC, ROS (Russia; Necro/Twelve), GEM, CHI, SHI (Ryu; what city is this?), KYO (Ibuki; likely Kyoto), DOJ (Makoto's dojo), YAM, AFR (only been one African fighter in the SF series so far), BRA, LON, HON, FRA, Q and MEX.

[BRPXQZME]

Considering that Gill's location was specified as "unknown/Mediterranean" in the first two games, and that his stage in 3s shows influence from Minoan, Greek, Egyptian, Mesoamerican (?!), Celtic, Roman, and Escherian architectural styles, I would dare say that his origin is just plain not possible to pin down to any one place.

Urien's stage in 3s is in Mexico, and basically shows the expected mesoamerican ruins with the giant Olmec stone heads.

All these things symbolically tie them to ancient polytheistic gods for the most part... which I guess is the main point.

I get what your name means.

[IFCYipeS]

Can we have a dominican in this for christ sakes?

[BRPXQZME]

...

You're better at getting it than most, then.

I made it up when I was 11, and got stuck with it.

Back on topic, THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE HALF-ASIANS. BECAUSE I AM HALF-ASIAN AND WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!! :3p:

(Fighting games promote stereotypes! ha ha!)

[Onizan]

I want a large cuban guy that looks like Biscuit Oliva. If you don't know who I'm talking about, he's a character from an anime/manga called Grappler Baki.

I would like to see an actual Egyptian, not something assumed to be Egyptian like Urien or Gill.

Canada needs some love in the SF franchise

We need an Aussie for SF4

An Irish wrestler or boxer

Someone from Greece who uses Greco-Roman wrestling and names his attacks after the greek gods.

[KindredSpiritz]

[T-hawk]

HADOOOOOKEN

[KindredSpiritz]

We got Japanese, American, Chinese and Indian. Let's hope there's new ones. Please let there no floods of Japanese and American characters.

[T-hawk]

cmon everybody shouts with me :

" what do we want.. Moroccan character when do we want it... now"

"what do we want.. m.."

hello? where did evrybody go? ............... god dammit!

[Einlanzer]

we need a haitian. i vote musician/wyclef jean.

[KindredSpiritz]

I'm getting a definte vibe, that since Capcom has announced "new locations" we will see new nations. A Scandinavian country would be nice, a witch character like Serafina Pekkala.

C'mon let's see some Aussies, Canadians and South Africans.

[Ruhit]

If they put in an Albanian fighter, I'll buy the game for everyone at the forums.

[white shadow]

I want a Polar Bear fighter from Antarctica, and yes I know what I just said science nerds.

1st Antarctican fighter for SF4!:woot:

[KindredSpiritz]

Well expect a few "new" nationalities if Ono wants as many SF II characters in there. We'll probably get the Super SF II Turbo cast, a few III characters and then four new characters with different nationalities judging from given history...

[wafflemonkey]

I'd seriously just like to see a good German character. Hugo was awesome but i could listen to him say "HAMMUH MOUNTAIN!" and not laugh. Maybe a character that looked like sumthin from sengoku basara x. I dont play the game but i saw some screens.

[chopperbyrne]

An Inuit character could be interesting.

[Vicioso]

weed smoking Jamaican please

ultra combo - rolls you into a blunt and smokes you to death

[Badrats Studio]

Indonesian's would be nice. Our 'Pencak Silat' fighting style is strong yet beautiful to see in action. And 'Bali' was one of the stages in KOF 97 and KOF Neowave.

[Badrats Studio]

Logan (aka. Wolverine) was in Xmen Vs. Street Fighter. And he's Canadian, isn't ?

[KindredSpiritz]

Yeah but that's Marvel not Street Fighter Canon. People would rather see a Canadian Street Fighter... Inuit Shaman or something...

[Jushiness]

I want a puerto rican. and i want him to be the absolute worst character in the game.
