I don't know who it is, sorry :p

I can ask my friend on the localization team, but more than likely he's going to laugh at me... lol.
 
did they explicitly say no 3rd Strike people would be in it? I wanna see Makoto in SFIV style :( extra frowns for their outright dismissal of 3rd strike :( :( :( :(
 
Ken is win indeed. Also, woooooooo!


Also didn't the Japanese version swap the names to the English version at some point in time, making them the locked-in names?
 
hopefully it's just gonna be a downloadable update. I'm sick of this whole process of:

"Herro, bitch. We havu re-rerreased a gameu you havu bot forty timeu. Prease rook foward too it *bow*"

I'm guessing after that the man who said that goes to the red light district and does things to a boy in a dress.
 
Goddamn it. As much as I want SF4, it's failing to impress so far. If that dude on the left in the first image is in fact the new characters, that's another lame-ass character to chalk up alongside Crimson Viper. He looks like a bootleg Dante.

I'm also disappointed that they didn't change the costumes of the characters in the game at all. I know they wanted to keep the classic look, but like Busta said, they should've done like Mortal Kombat and updated the characters classic duds to make them look cooler and more modern.

Hmm.......

Hmm.......[/QUOTE]Totally, man. So we've got the original playable World Warrior cast, all in their original costumes, and the game supposedly takes place before SF III??? This is all secondary to gameplay of course, but I just want it to feel NEW, dammit!

I mean it could be as simple as giving Blanka black shorts, Chun Li wearing her hair down, or giving Guile a beard or something. And... I dunno, they could put a hat on Zangief, that sorta thing. Mere TWEAKS, you know what I'm saying?

Exactly. Right now, SF4 looks like Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo EX.
 
Crimson Viper? Shinnosuke?

What kinda crappy names are these?

SF has always been about generic names, preferably with one or two syllables. This is garbage.

Aside from costume changes, even the animations look the same... come on now. I remember being freaked out by Ryu and Ken's new sweep animation in SF3.

I'm psyched that Blanka is in. I can't wait to play Rodimus :)

I do agree with Jim though about SFIV. Though I'm glad at least one of my favorite SF characters is in SFIV, I really want some cool new characters.

....and Vega
 
[quote name='gunm']So we know for sure that there's no other unlockable costumes or alternate schemes?[/QUOTE]Oh not at all... it's just pure speculation based on what's been shown so far.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']If anything, I hope this leads to another Alpha game seeing as those are my favorite SF games.[/QUOTE]

Actually, Alpha series is probably my least favorite. My list goes...

3 series
Vs series
2 series
Alpha series


I really love them all, and really love Alpha 2 in particular, but Alpha 1 isn't very good, and Alpha 3 is overrated IMO.
 
I'd prolly put Alpha directly below 3 myself, but I definitely agree that Alpha 2 is the strongest entry in that series. 3 was cool, but there was something so clinical about it...
 
World tour mode was fun. I had an X-ism Gen that was a killing machine. His super meter would constantly charge, so it was maxed out all the time. Plus, he did a ton of damage.
 
[quote name='asianxcore']I'm psyched that Blanka is in. I can't wait to play Rodimus :)[/quote]

Hopefully they give Zangief something to counter Blanka's rolling attack. His spinning clothesline can counter it but it's gotta be spot on. fucking Blanka. But it's funny, as much as I bitch about Blanka I was playing some guy a few nights ago in Hyper Fighting and had no trouble winning.

Anyways they got my favorite guy in SFIV so I'm happy. But I'd also like to see Karin, Necro, & Dan (just for the laughs) show up.
 
[quote name='SL4IN']Hey guys, I'm posting this in here because this still has a lot to do with fighting games, especially in japan.

Namco Bandai and Sega are closing arcades all over japan.[/quote]

Very much sadness.

Some of my best times when I was stationed on Okinawa were spent at arcades. At one arcade along Route 58 (I think that was the name) I was the first person to lose on the just-installed KoF 2003. Such a proud moment.

Yes, very sad, hope my favorite "Club Sega" remains open in Shinjuku.

I have a similar experience. I went to the Neo Geo BC location test about a month before it was actually released. I got my ass handed to me but there's a good chance I was the first Amaerican to play the game. I never saw many international people at the cade's in Nihon.
 
As cool as it would be to see Karin or any of the other SFZ or SF3 chars...

I want to see all new chars from now on. And no KOF designs like Crimson Viper, what's that all about.

Haha, I'm still angry.

Someone told me that Shinnosuke was actually one of the journalists and not a new character. Good, cause he looked ugly. Hahah....
 
[quote name='simplygriff']Since I just kind of lurk in here I figured I'd try to contribute a bit...

SFIV
The arcade cabinet from japan.

Thanks for the links, griff. Guile's upside down kick FTW.

The new chick looks out of place amidst the old school SF dudes. I want to see a new background. I'm tired of the market. And bring Karin back.
 
Yeah, definitely feelin' Guile and Dhalsim with the new coats of paint. That new chick still feels out of place. Still waiting for Akuma... :)

-G[/QUOTE]Hmm... there still seems to be too much of a focus on doing frame-by-frame recreations of the old moves. One thing that stood out to me though was the pic of Chun-Li blocking a kick from that new chick. Looks almost like some sort of parry/deflect move?

Blanka also appears to have a ground roll, which is a nice addition(unless that was just his super from ST), and Zangief appears to be doing some new backbreaker-type move in one shot.

EDIT: also interesting to see some life meters for the first time. "Combo" meters at the bottom of the screen... and what are those green circular meters at the end of the life bars all about??

Click to expand...
That's probably the meter for the saving system. And that new chick is Crimson Viper.
 
Looks great, but god I hope they fix ken's hair. Thats the only thing I'm worried about so far hah.

Also, the character art is pretty awesome.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']Thanks for the links, griff. Guile's upside down kick FTW.[/quote]

Always liked that kick. I think it's starting to look great!
 
Hmm.... is it just me, or is Chun-Li's bod waaaaay off? Those arms are bigger than any of the guys' arms.

Then again, I believe all women should be submissive.
 
[quote name='Rodimus Donut']Hopefully they give Zangief something to counter Blanka's rolling attack.[/QUOTE]

No way :) Gotta keep that annoyance factor in there.

I actually wouldn't mind Blanka getting balanced a little bit. I wouldn't want him nerfed completely, but to have a way to punished whiffed Blanka Rolls like in CVS2.

Those new screen shots look great. Does anyone else think that Ryu/Ken look "meh" compared to the rest of the bunch? Now that we are seeing more of this art style I'd really like to see what Bison, Sagat and Vega would look like. But also as I mentioned before I'd like some new characters (or some 3S characters)

As much as I like the KOF series, Crimson Viper looks like she's straight from it. Looks like either Vice or Elizabeth........pppfffftt.
