• There's going to be at least 6 characters added to the game.
• Capcom was originally hoping for an October release date, but back then they had only planned on adding two extra fighters.
• They pushed the release date to December so they could add more characters in to the game.
This backs up Arcade UFO's statement that the arcade version would be released in December as well.
Also, on an unrelated note, Megadautilus and Brenttiscool pointed out a new shot of Street Fighter X Tekken that popped up on Yoshinori Ono's Twitter, although it's extremely out of focus.

Posted by SaikyoRyu on August 10, 2010 at 1:34 a.m. #11
If it's true, hmm.. I'd want Karin and Charlie. Not sure what other I'd really care about. Maaybe Rolento and the Cammy clones from SAF3. Don't need evil Ryu, got Akuma and a million other fireBall/dragonPunch/spinKick equivalent characters already. Capcom should think of one or two new special moves for existing dragon punch characters to make them different.

Beside the round clock you see the characters: right side - Kazuya -> Nina left side Chun Li and X... cant see it clearly.. but i think its Ryu like in the vid they showed us.

Six characters seems like a lot to give away for free. But if it's true #16 is on the right. Ono loves those three characters.
Posted by JumpMan33 on August 10, 2010 at 2:01 a.m. #19
Podcast is pretty interesting
Henry Cen putting Empire Arcadia on bast and I agree a lot with what he says.
I also think he is little underrated as a SF4 player.
Posted by TonyAlmighty on August 10, 2010 at 2:26 a.m. #20
Yeah, I agree Elena, Rolento, and R. Mika are givens. Alex is getting a lot of requests as well. I personally want Remy, he's a better and more interesting fighter and character than Guile and Charlie. Urien would be a nice lil preview if they decide to make Gill the boss in 5. I mean Seth has a few moves from Urien and Gill anyways, and it can fit in plot wise.
Or maybe they'll save Alex for 5, since he was the main character in 3S. So I'd add Sean if that's the case.
1. Elena
2. Rolento
3. R. Mika
4. Alex / Sean
5. Remy
6. Urien
Posted by benji8ean on August 10, 2010 at 2:30 a.m. #21
do we not think it will be 3 from 3rd strike and 3 from alpha?
Posted by Megadautilus on August 10, 2010 at 2:37 a.m. #22
Hugo is bigger than T.Hawk, and they said they almost had problems with T.Hawk. They can still find a work around but with other requested grapplers I find his chance a little less likely, although better than most. Here is my guess:
1. Rolento
2. Elena
3. R. Mika
4. Alex
5. Karin and or Yang
6. Yun and or Yang
The 5 and 6 spots I really don't know.
Posted by boma on August 10, 2010 at 2:45 a.m. #23
just put :
Alex : super = boomerang raid, Ultra 1 = hyper bomb, Ultra 2 = Stun gun headbut.
replace Seth with Urien : super = jupiter thunder, Ultra 1 = Chariot tackle, Ultra 2 = Aegis reflector.
done

i'm hoping for some new blood, show me some new characters capcom!!!
i want a charge grappler with a projectile...
and a new rival for ryu, something like a rival apprentice for a martial arts school which was overshadowed by the Shotokan/Ansatsuken which was taught by Gotetsu, then carried on by Gouken.. But the kicker is, that it's some martial art derived from Ansatsuken with better Hadoukens..
Lolz, imagine a character, who looks like a bad ass, ryu/ken
with a gouken like charge/release hadoukens, an in air horizontal hadouken, a ryu-ish rendition of a sort of tiger knee and ken's shoryuken! with a t hawk like SPD grab, which could work in the air!! and normals like guile.. with rufus/chun range...

Rolento
R. Mika
Alex
Hugo

Those are for sure ...
Charlie / Q / Oro - I want Oro , but I'm sure that the other characters are more likely because of the Avatars on the PSN network.
Posted by Sairus on August 10, 2010 at 3:10 a.m. #32
Looking at the SFxT screenshot, I only notice one lifebar for each character. That might be a sign that this isn't a tag team game.
Posted by Adnan on August 10, 2010 at 3:10 a.m. #33
Agree with Lue, SSF4 has ruined Ibuki, Makoto, and Dudley (in my opinion...) As much as I'd love to see Hugo appear again, I have a feeling that they'll give him a horrible voice actor or something. They should focus on Alpha and other Final Fight characters instead. There's little to no chance that she'd make it in, but I'd like Maki from FF2 AND SFA3 (PSP version) to appear again =)
Posted by Sairus on August 10, 2010 at 3:16 a.m. #34
Wait, no, lookng at it again, there's definitely two lifebars present in that screenshot.
Posted by fabulos on August 10, 2010 at 3:17 a.m. #35
as long as Rolento is in with his theme music, im happy! oh and new stages please.
Posted by gtfopanda on August 10, 2010 at 3:24 a.m. #36
Charlie is dead, we don't need a Guile clone. Just buy his alt #1.
The only safe picks to me are Elena, who barely got cut in that poll (and there's the Africa stage), and Hugo (we got him in the skyscraper stage, and it was mentioned he would be one of the considered characters).
It's high likely Alex and Rolento will be in too, since it was heavily rumored.
Posted by chobi_pho on August 10, 2010 at 3:28 a.m. #37
pushing it back by 2 months = +4 new characters? ok
Posted by KGershkoff on August 10, 2010 at 3:41 a.m. #38
6 characters?!
I was OK with getting 2 more, but this is a surprise. Hopefully, we'll get some answers at TGS in Sept.
As for the screenshot, it's definitely Chun-Li on the left. But it also looks like it's Zangief on the right (check around the top center of the screenshot, the beard is very much like Gief's!)
Posted by WorstGiefEVER on August 10, 2010 at 3:41 a.m. #39
Less characters, earlier release date!
Lolento!
And that screenshot has Ryu and Chun vs Kazuya and Nina.

@Sairus
If you notice and look closley.. unless that is fuzz the second life bars are overlapped by the current players lifebar so it may be a tag game after all but in time we will all know.
Posted by gluemchen on August 10, 2010 at 4:02 a.m. #43
Not too sure... But i guess 3 alpha and 3 from 3rd strike.
Mika,Karin,Rolento/Elena,Alex not too sure on the 3rd char i`d go with Q,Remi or Yun.
As for me i am still waiting on SSFIV Release on the PC.

I don`t know about hugo, because you can obiously see him as a construction site worker on one of the stages in the background. But the demand for hugo is very high so my guess is that they will swap hugo in the stage background with another char. As for Poison, i would so love for him to be in and playable this time around.

If there's going to be 6 new characters, I assume the rest of the cast will get some balancing, which I'm excited about. SSF4 is SO CLOSE to being perfect, keep up the good work capcom, bring us more characters and fix a few of the bugs still in SSF4 and you'll be immortal!
Posted by sethkillianfanboy on August 10, 2010 at 4:24 a.m. #49
More characters = less balance. I don't agree with all these changes.
Remember SF3 3rd Strike? It's the characters introduced to 3rd strike that are either god tier or trash tier (Chun Li, Makoto god tier, Q and Twelve trash tier).
I predict one of these new characters will mess up the game as badly as Sagat in SF4 did.

Posted by gluemchen on August 10, 2010 at 4:31 a.m. #51
Patching minor unbalancing should be easy after the comunity has played enough and pointed out the problems between match ups and playability. They can easily patched though downloadable updates. Have in mind that the ssf4 series will probably come to an end after this, besides modes and costumes. So my guess is that they will invest money in gatting it balanced one its out of the door.

You people bitched for 3s chars you got them. What do you need Q for? there doesnt need to be anymore 3s chars ok. Heres whos needs to be in. rolento r mika are given. But to get shock these people we need sf1 chars. Like geki eagle mike retsu. Thats the chars i want

Remember the avatar on the Playstation Network:

Q, Elena, Alex, Hugo or is it for SF3.3 Online but it seems to be a good transition if they put more characters of SF3.3 in SSF4.
In my opinion the bundle is: Rolento, Rainbow Mika, Q, Hugo, Alex and Elena. The animation of Elena is so beautiful that it will be a real present for us to see her in SSF4.
But it's ok for the arcade but when for the DLC?
Posted by Nukka on August 10, 2010 at 5:41 a.m. #60
Sure these characters are popular, but are they actually needable with other characters in the game?
I mean; Zangief = Hugo and R.Mika = kinda like fuerte, also Alex = Abel. Well you get my point.

Posted by RMC on August 10, 2010 at 6:08 a.m. #63
I don't understand why nobody's asking for Sodom. He's a very unique character with moves that are clearly Ultra stuff. What about a Final Fight cast?

Sodom
Rolento
Abigail

Based on probabilities...
1) Elena
2) Rolento
Then afterwards...
3) Karin
4) R.Mika
Then the last two are anyone's guess. Preferably I would like Alex in this game. He's a charge/motion mix character and he's loads of fun.
Posted by HKsupastar on August 10, 2010 at 6:45 a.m. #66
Here's my vote:
1. Charlie (he isn't an exact Guile clone and better than Remy)
2. Sodom
3. Alex
4. Rolento
5. Necro (an alternate for the Dhalsim players)
6. Karin
7. R.Mika (ONLY if they don't have that stupid wrestling ring move)
Other possible ones are Hugo and Elena. And I would rather more Alpha characters than Street Fighter 3 characters because they seem to translate better to the 4 engine.
Just my two cents.
Posted by HKsupastar on August 10, 2010 at 6:47 a.m. #67
I also think if they are going to add the new characters in the arcade and DLC, they should add a new Ultra for everyone. Preferably, an Ultra similar to the X-ism in Alpha. Kinda like Juri's Feng Shui Engine but faster.

@64
With DLC they can update the console version so that their will not be any differences between console/arcade versions.
There are some people that only play on consoles and some that only play on arcades. Players in the USA usually play on consoles since there are only few arcades in the USA compared to Japan. On the other hand, Japan's fighting game community is centered in the arcades. All the top players always play in the arcades and rarely touch the console versions.
Back with vanilla Street Fighter IV, whenever the Japanese go to foreign tournaments they already had a disadvantage because tournaments in USA and Europe use the console version with the console exclusive characters. The Japanese didn't have experience playing against these characters and so they had a disadvantage. Daigo still won USA tournaments because his Ryu was overall very solid and he was able to adapt to the console characters (He did lose to Sanford's Cammy twice though).
To avoid any problems like this, its better to let all the versions be the same. That way, no one can make excuses that they didn't have experience against some characters. All versions should be pretty much identical.
In the case of SSFIV only a few of the Japanese top players are playing SSFIV console version seriously. Many of the top players are still playing the arcade vanilla version and hardly touched SSFIV.
The arcade version is meant to be another update to SSFIV. They are adding new characters and balance changes after all. If they don't update the console version too then the console and arcade version will essentially be different games. Once SSFIV arcade version comes out the Japanese top players will start playing only that version.
Also I doubt many USA/European players will be able to get their hands on the arcade version. Arcades are few in those places. Even if they wanted to try out the arcade version with the new characters it may be hard to find an arcade that will actually have the SSFIV arcade cabinets.
They need to make it so that both arcade/console players could play each other on equal footing and this could be done through DLC for the console version.
Posted by HKsupastar on August 10, 2010 at 6:51 a.m. #71
Last post and I am out:
I would suggest the EX characters, but its a lost cause. I think that EX+Alpha is a very underrated game. Hopefully, Namco's Tekken x Street Fighter can incorporate some of that gameplay. I think it would definitely appeal more to the Street Fighters out there.

thats pretty cool .wasnt expectin to hear 6 additional cahracters. assumin its true that is. my vote goes to Elena, Urien, Rolento, Alex. i've always been curious is to how Necro would fit in SF4 engine. in SF3 zonin isnt used much due to parryin, but in SSF4 he could be a beast. so maybe Necro in this batch of characters would be real interesting. also...ummm....some new characteer would be cool
Posted by tokyobassist on August 10, 2010 at 7:43 a.m. #75
I bet the pricing on this will piss me off. $8 for BlazBlue characters is pretty high. If it is 6 more fighters I'd say Rolento, Karin, R. Mika, Hugo, Elena and Alex even though I'd rather nix Mika and Hugo for Eagle & Birdie.
Posted by HKsupastar on August 10, 2010 at 7:44 a.m. #76
Speaking of Street Fighter x Tekken, they really screwed the pooch on this one. Actually they screwed MvC3, cuz' now everyone seems to want this more than MvC3. Or at least I am more hyped about this than that other button mashing one. And its like 2 years away!

Posted by RandomJohn on August 10, 2010 at 7:58 a.m. #81
I would rather have them release what they have now (what was originally planned to be released in Oct) and released the additional stuff later in Dec. It'll keep SF fans busy with the first release while they're waiting for the Dec release.
Posted by tokyobassist on August 10, 2010 at 8:11 a.m. #82
Also I'm surprised so many people care about what characters are in it since 98% of suckers only play Ryu, Ken, Akuma with the occassional Blanka, Sagat or Rog online. Like MvC2, only 6 characters are played.
Don't get me started on those crybaby 3S fans who complained about everything (including Makoto's feet or Dudley's voice). The 3S fighters on Super are pretty good (minus Makoto) but have to readjust your strategy to play them well.
I play Guy and at least I can admit he's not as good as he was in SFA but then he'd be broken in SSF4 (3 Bushin Chains in the corner into Super in SSF4 would make some of the Eventscrubs flood the world with your virgin tears).

If they shifted the release date to only 2 months later due to the characters it means the extra 4 characters where already pretty much finished yet they probably initially intended on releasing the slowly during the next year on consoles so that they could keep the interest in the game well alive and also convince people who did not yet purchase the game to go buy it (as with the iPhone version). Capcom is most probably releasing the characters for free and plan on making money from future secondary DLC such as further costume packs etc which i think is great and good for them - for those who bitch about paying for costumes my advice is to check the DLC available for the first BlazBlue game where you are expected to pay for extra colors! Costumes are merely luxuries that most of us can live without, even though i did just buy the new costumes cause 1) i love most of them and 2) i wanted to help out Capcom make more money so that they can further support the fight scene.
Anyway back in topic, if there are 6 new fighters i sincerely hope there will be at least 2 brand new additions although i doubt it. So my predictions are:
From Alpha: Rolento, R.Mika
From SF III: Elena, Hugo
The other 2 spots can either go to Alex and Karin which where popular requests although i don't really know what to think at this point.
I would like to see some all-new characters or at least some who made past appearances but can feel much fresher in SF IV such as Poison (never a playable character with own play list before) or even someone from SF 1. Honestly though, i only vote for Poison from the 2 options cause 1) lots of requests, 2) she will pretty much be a brand new character with a familiar and popular face and back story and 3) if Hugo is in it it would be great!

It doesn't matter how many new characters they add. They could put in every SF character ever done and everyone is still going to play Ryu.
Posted by PsychoCrusher on August 10, 2010 at 9:32 a.m. #96
6 new does make sense if they have the same select screen, just adding 3 new on the left and the right.
Anyways Elana, Rolento and Mika are pretty well assured from what Ono said in the past about who he wanted to get in the game.
I would personally love to see Sodom, Birdie and Karin for the other 3.
Doubt that will happen though as it would be very alpha heavy :(

6.Alex
R.mika sucks I'd rather have Karin in it but IMO it'll be those 6.
Posted by h1tm0nl33 on August 10, 2010 at 9:49 a.m. #101
OK I'll try to be as realistic as possible with my list
Rolento- One of two characters that ono wanted in but didnt make it
Elena- Just missed out on the ssf4 addition poll
R.Mika- Like her or not she may just make it in for the same reason as Rolento
Hugo- Ono said if anyone is DLC or an arcade additive expect Hugo
Charlie- A highly requested character
Alex- Another highly requested character

I agree with what your saying about DLC. Blazblue DLC is a ripoff($8 for a new character smfh).
Posted by Hrm on August 10, 2010 at 9:52 a.m. #104
Everyone keeps saying they want Charlie. I honestly can't see it happening. I realize they've sorta thrown canon to the side when they added the 3S characters, but Charlie seems a little far. I'd say the fact that he's essentially Guile would keep him from being added, but it would seem that Capcom couldn't give a s--t about having clone characters in SF4.
Rolento, R. Mika, Elena, and Hugo are probably in. As for the other two characters, I'd like to see some characters return from the first Street Fighter. Maybe Eagle and Birdie.
Posted by Tsu83 on August 10, 2010 at 9:53 a.m. #105
evil ryu would suck so hard XD its already like 85% shotos online. that would ruin online play completely! my wishlist

6. Elena

#97 If Hugo should be in it, which will probably be the case due to high demand. It might well be that poison will not only be seen as Hugo`s Friend. But also as a playable character. That would really give him the appearance that he deserves.
Could be a 7th secret unlockable character i don`t care, aslong as he is in. Transvestite fighting power. You better not underestimate him!!
Posted by jeftoon on August 10, 2010 at 10:18 a.m. #107
What I'd love to see added is the ability to change your button configuration in the lobby or during spectator mode. That would make me extremely happy, new characters would just be icing on the cake...even though, Garuda and Pullum from EX would be nice.
Posted by Sh3azu on August 10, 2010 at 10:19 a.m. #108
I want Q, but with only one taunt. The taunt.
Even though they will probably somehow nerf him from Three and not be able to give him that taunt boost, they could at least give him his kara and speed up the command grab.

I heard the original 2 were supposed to be Hugo and R. Mika, and I know Rolento and Elena just missed it. So those 4 for sure imo.
My guesses for the other 2?
I would like Eagle and Birdie. They both had really unique playstyles and would both look pretty cool with ssf4 art style imo
plus there could be some funny gay win quotes with Eagle :p
But like pointed out earlier, that'd be too alpha heavy. It'd be cool to see Alex, Q, or Remy as well.
Posted by Bookerjj on August 10, 2010 at 11:45 a.m. #123
is there really a alot of shotos in this game. I believe there is 4 Ryu, Ken, Sagat and Akuma.
Is Dan and Sakura really considered shoto chars, is Seth a shoto char. I really want to know, cuz outside of those for i never considered those others as shotos, i mean if u play those like a shoto, you pretty much earned a lost. So of a roster of 35+ ppl maybe more down the line is 4 shoto really alot.

@107
How can you be so fu(king ignorant?
Yes Guile and Charlie play alike and may seem like clones. But you clearly dismissed the principle that exists with the Shotokan characters, most obviously Ryu and Ken. How come you didn’t open your mouth when SF4 first came around to protest the similarities between the shotos?
For anyone saying that Charlie is a clone to Guile is a dumb ignorant scrub. Of course their move set is identical but it could be rebalanced the same way as Ryu and Ken are.
In fact. Every move Guile and Charlie share could be rebalanced so that one can tell the difference
just like you can tell the difference between Ryu and Kens Backward Spin Kicks. Ryu's is more powerful but slower, where as Ken's is faster, with more hits but lesser damage than Ryu. Ryu's Ex fireball is yellow fire (more damage) than Ken's Ex hadouken. Ken's Ex Shoryu takes immense damage compared to Ryu's Ex shoryu. We have all known that Ryu specializes in hadoukens and Ken does the same in Shoryukens.
Why can’t this be the case with Charlie and Guile? And why cant he also be integrated into the story just the same way Gouken was? everyone thought he was dead, but PLOWW here he is! but ohh no. we cat do that with Charlie cuz 1) the poor waves of scrubs are already tired of losing to Guile, and 2) exhausted of all the bit(hing and whining.
Damn im tired of stupid fu(king clowns like you always calling Charlie a clone b4 you even explain in full detail why you don’t him added. and the clone response isn’t even one to get you half way of making a good argument, much less a good player.
Posted by shoryuKIDDER on August 10, 2010 at 11:48 a.m. #125
karin, rolento, mika. alex, elena, yun. no charlie unless he gets an updated moves list and different normals that work different to set him apart from guile. would be cool if he had a in air flash that worked like mvc2. ssf4 examples adon and makoto. shoto haters stop bitching please. yes they all have a fireball dp and hurricane kick but it all works different in most ways. loke ryu's hurricane kick gets a knockdown akumas gives a little juggle, and ken's is.... ummm it hits a whole bunch and... ummm it... ummm... anyways they have different normals too.
still no evil ryu unless he has completly different moveset too.

@129
That’s what im saying about Charlie. add him but make his normals and specials distinguishable from Guile so we would feel the difference between them just the same way we feel the difference when playing Ryu and Ken. add a cool super and 2 freakish ultras and there you have Charlie.
also make his standard costume also distinguishable from Guiles Alt1 so that he doesn’t feel like you have guiles Alt1 on. Sort of like how Link from OoT was way different from TP. add a few accessories like a watch. rips and loops to his jacket. in fact Charlie don’t even wear military boots, he wars some green smaller shoes. and there is a clearly visible distance showing some skin between his feet and his pants. his head area is definitely taken care of. anime style face, hair, glasses and way different than guile.

That sounds like the most pointless, retarded solution I have ever heard of. Like holy f*ck, why do you want Charlie so bad? Because you want Guile to have a new haircut? Um no, we have Guile and we don't have Karin, Rolento, Elena, Yun, Alex, Necro, etc. So yeah...just give up. Wanting Charlie in the game is ludicrous. Remy would be a better addition.

Not to mention Gen being terminally ill in his first introduction and Makoto being 11. Nothing is impossible. For what ever personal reason you are so butt-hurt about the possibility of Charlie being added is illogical and holds no merit to why he shouldn't be added.

Really, why you want to have Charlie as DLC? He is one of my favorite charactes (right after Guile in fact) but he can't offer anything to the gameplay right now. I prefer someone who gives something a bit new.In the best case Charlie can be something in between Guile and Dee Jay... and thats not enough. Almost every other Street Fighter Character can bring something fresh. Maybe if they change Charlie mechanics to a not charging gameplay... but that would make him a Shoto-Like :/
For DLC I want someone who can give me a different gameplay, playing with or against them.
1)Alex
2)Hugo
3)Elena
4)R.Mika
5)Eagle
6)TERRY BOGARD XD

I wouldn't be surprised if we get 3 alpha and 3 from third strike. Then again we have no idea. All I want is Karin and Elena. I think both offer some unique styles.
Posted by mrdrofficer on August 10, 2010 at 3:32 p.m. #170
I think there is good ground that we could all be surprised with a birdie appearance.
1. He fulfills the SF1 and Final Fight character requirement all at once.
2. He is in the opening of Hakan's story depicted as his SF1 style, which Birdie in Alpha says he looks like that because he is sick.
http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/F...
I know not all characters in the story make it into the game, but this looks like a really nice wink wink nudge nudge-type of hint since it reflects SF1 to Alpha and now Super to "Turbo"
Not my pick, but I would definitely try to pick him up (I play big dumb characters Honda and Hakan). Good choice Capcom!

More like you need to step your Guy game up. All he needs is frame advantage/adjustments to his f. MP overhead and a quicker cr. LK and maybe better recovery from his cr. HP because even though its a one-frame link, its still hard to connect that s. MP.
Posted by OhNingYooh on August 10, 2010 at 5 p.m. #176
Hugo and Mika were having a push by Ono.
Yun, because Yang was in SNK v CAPCOM2
Q = possible but skeptics believe Bison and Q are the same
EAGLE, because he was in SF1 and SNKCPM2
Rolento, to add to the Final Fight balance
Charlie, ... because Abel mentions knowing Charlie
If not Q
then its Elena... for the new variation in battle
If not Yun
then its Mika... for a female wrestler
Also I wouldnt mind either Hayato Nekketsu or Hinata from rival schools. Skull-o-mania was the most demanded from EX.

Honestly, just keep adding characters until every playable character in the history of Street Fighter is in there. Then give us Geki, Haggar, Poison, and all of the other Dolls...I want Mugen players to be jealous of the character select screen.
Posted by bwinches on August 10, 2010 at 6:38 p.m. #183
As others have mentioned above, give us 6 brand new characters, however follow these rules:
Rule#1: No new shotos.
Rule#2: No old shotos in evil, violent, or any other form...(exception: costumes allowed, but no mechanic changes) .
Rule#3: No character that is a pupil/student of a shoto.
Rule#4: No new characters with dragon-punches/shoryukens, fireballs/hadokens, or hurricane-kicks/tatsumaki-senpukyakus.
Also, please make an alternative costume pack or an alternative#10 costume to satisfy everyone who wants Evil-Eyes Ryu, Violent-Executive Ken, Grown-and-Goth Sakura, Angel-Wings Akuma, and Youthful "Sheng Long" Gouken.

Charlie is vastly superior to Guile anyway(style wise).
-He throws Sonic Booms with one hand.
-He can also shoot projectiles from his elbows,knees and feet(during his super)
-His 'Too Easy' taunt is way cooler than Guile's.
-His flashkicks are actually front flips that go backward because(watch them in slow motion in the Alpha games, he actually turns his back to his opponent, crouches down and kicks his feet up sort of like Cannon Spike)

Charlie's dead. Capcom made that mistake.
actually it seems the only mistake is killing off or restricting play, just like in real life. once they kick the bucket in any work of fiction they gain mad MOAR points. There can only be shadow

even though i dont care too much for Charlie, people saying

They need to bring Alex to SSF4,Hugo(Alex could be his replacement if he fights in the Construction stage)Rolento,beacose he is COOL,R.Mika for DAT ASS,Elena cause SSF4 lacks in capoiera...and Karin or Charlie (Charlie plays differit from Guile,and Karin is popular)
Posted by EvokenSpirit on August 11, 2010 at 6:29 a.m. #201
Charlie, Rolento, Evil Ryu, Alex, Elena, and Karin.
For Evil Ryu, don't make it a seperate character, make it a selectable. Like for instance if you want Ryu, you can choose which mode you want, Normal Ryu or Evil Ryu.

The excitement regarding the new characters is intense but for me, I would choose three characters from Alpha and three from SF3.
1. Charlie
2. Rolento
3. Karin
4. Alex
5. Yun
6. Elena
Posted by Jakulagi on August 11, 2010 at 4:09 p.m. #207
Lolz, honestly people..
Any variation of a character that includes them being "Evil" is not going to happen..
Also, If Capcom were to add Yun and not Yang, then that's just stupid because the brothers depth within Street Fighter storyline is shared considering that they are brothers..
I believe, that Charlie would be a great addition to SSF4, see as there is no other variation to Guile (Dee Jay is waste, especially that down+up kick of his) not even on Guile's level.. as I was saying, no other variation of Guile and other old and new characters have connection to the 'supposedly dead charlie'.. people remember Gouken came back when he was just knocked out, after he was thought to be dead..
to make things shorter..
Hugo > Because Capcom likes the grapplers, and because he's already made a cameo in SSF4..
Elena > brings something new, to SSF4.. and that africa stage..
R.Mika > would need a lot of tweaks because her has that stupid magical wrestling ring move, doesn't seem likely in such a short time..
Alex > because he was 3S main character..
Urien > no
Gill > no
Oro > would be awesome, probably be nerfed
Necro > would be awesome, probably be nerfed
Q > would be awesome, probably be OP'ed
Yun > waste of a slot
Yang > waste of a slot
Eagle/ Birdie > practically the same character, would be cool to see Birdie, probably be OP'ed
Rolento > would probably be badly nerfed and slowed down
Karin > meh..

lolz, Gattsu, i'm guessing that the number of diccks that have been in your throat, have probably messed with your thinking..
deepthroated to the point that you thoughts have become mush..
anyways, blair is from Street Fighter EX, created by Arika, so Capcom doesn't have rights to include her in SSF4.
Retsu, seems unlikely, drawing from the fact that Makoto is a sort of improved Retsu in the sense, that they share a similar style.. Retsu is basically a scrapped character discarded and broken down to Makoto for style and Oro for appearance.
Geki, another broken down character that shares traits from Ibuki and Vega.. A scrapped character that didn't draw in any popularity..
Sodom, quite possible as well as, Rolento and Birdie..

Sorry, Soldats.. Gattsu, is a waste of space and thought..
And Gattsu, you're right, i do get my dicck eaten, or at least your mom attempts to eat it, i mean, it's too hard for her, so her just gives it up and sucks the cuum out of my cocck and chases it with a shot of Grey Goose..
I tell her that she's officially taken a nice warm shot of my vanilla milkshake!
I play, Guy cuz i've banged her with my nikes on, El Fuerte cuz i've flipped that pusssy over like a taco, Zangief cuz I spread your mom out like Ultra 1, T Hawk cuz your mom likes my thickcocck, Gouken cuz she gets stunned at my girth beating your head when she gave birth to you, Cody cuz the only thing faster then his prison shank is her cuuming on my balls, and Guile cuz after i'm done I put my shades on and brush my hair and leave.. like your real dad..

Well it would be like cool to see ROLENTO, he would have a really cool style for the game, another would be ELENA, it would be a wish come true to see old faces from the original Street Fighter, like EAGLE, RETSU or GEKI(claw). For my Favorite choices:
1) Rolento: is a favorite for many people and have a really high badass factor to help him out.
2) Elena: Capoeira + white haired black chick(almost perfect body)+ a lot of skin for the eyes = a win for the guys
3) Retsu/Eagle/Geki: urging to come back to tourney!!!
4) Karin: her style is pretty cool and would look sweet in SSF4
5) Urien: hey a muscular 300 dude with a thong... well hey... dont hate!!! but he would be a nice add to the cast
6) !!!a new character!!! preferably a freak such as blanka, Seth, oro, necro or twelve...
Posted by HarkMammil on August 14, 2010 at 2:53 p.m. #215
Ok, I've had enough. Whats wrong with you people?
"Evil" and "Shadow" characters are f**king retarded.
IF YOU WANT NEW CHARACTERS IN THE GAME WHY DO YOU WANT THE SAME OLD SH**T? so you can be bored after about a week of play?
Evil Ryu is pointless. He just an overbalanced Shoto that would ad NO longevity to the game due to him being almost identical to normal Ryu.
Shadow Charlie? Really? Same as above.
I vote for
- 2 NEW characters (?,?)
- 2 from ALPHA (?, Rolento)
- 2 FROM 3. (Elena,Q, or Alex)
Haterz gonna hate.

It seems like a no brainer to have Alex and Elana from SF3. They both fight pretty different. But, Abel is dresses like Alex already...so Sean might be one. They can make charlie as different to Guile as Ken is to Ryu. Rolento is different and not scrubby either. Then two new characters.
Posted by ShinobiShiranui on August 17, 2010 at 9:07 p.m. #219
For the two slots, I'm saying Elena (Rivals : Deejay and Juri) and Rolento (Rivals: Cody and Guy). Elena was 4th under Makoto and the producer for SF4 and SSF4 said she would be in if they considered DLC. Rolento was recommended by Ono as well as having a fan base.
The remaining? I'm guessing:
R.Mika- Ono likes her and she may get an opportunity to shine with El Fuerte and Zangief.
Yun/Yang- Based off a recent response on a blog here, it could mean they're in and a great much up against Chun LI, Fei Long, and Gen.
Alex- Rumors on the net believe he will be in, however, no theories to show or prove he can. His rivals could be Abel, Zangief, and/or Hugo.
Karin- She has a possible chance, however, I'm not guaranteeing she'll be in. Makes a great rival for Sakura and Makoto.
Hugo- possibility since Ono considered him and he's BGC in the game. His rivals could be Zangief, Abel, and/or Alex
Others?
Charlie? Can't say, just wonder why
Q? an interesting character; how would his story tie to SF4?
Sean? He's not that popular and even Seth Killian said it on a Capcom blog.
Remy? No, Guile doesn't need a duplicate lol
Oro? Haven't heard him being mentioned
Necro? same as the Q comment
EX characters? Was answered on another blog on here =^D
Posted by lukecage83 on August 21, 2010 at 12:41 a.m. #220
@ hark mamill & every other close minded person hating on my man chuck nash!
first off, just because they share the same move set, does not mean they'll play exactly the same. so people need to stop it with all this "play guile in his alt, and you have charlie" BS! you still have guile, just in a charlie costume! all the shotos basically have the same move set - but try to play ryu the same way you would ken! you'd get your ass handed to you. do you guys even consider the priority of the character's attacks? some have more or less than others; not to mention their normal attacks - which play a major role in how a character is used. it's not just the special moves that make the character!
2nd, anyone who's familiar with sfa3 or mvc2 (the only 2 games i can think of where guile & charlie were both present), knows that they were very different from each other, despite both having the ability to throw sonic booms and flash kicks. especially in sfa3, where charlie seemed to be better off rushing, whereas guile stuck to his defensive roots.
i'd love to see charlie return! if ryu can have 5 clones, and there's 5 grapplers in the game already, why can't guile have an identical character? and speaking of grapplers, i find it funny that most of the people who nag at the idea of charlie returning, want to see r.mika (another grappler to which the game already has enough), and haggar (who'd be a gief clone).
i would love to see those 2 in the game as well, because i'm open minded, and i know capcom could make the characters unique, even if they share moves with another. my point is, if you guys are worried so much about clones, haggar should be the last character on your wish list! that said, STFU and let people hope for charlie!
aside from chuck nash, i'd much rather have the rest of the alpha cast return. take out the sf3 & sf4 exclusive characters, and the game is pretty much sfa3, minus...
-birdie
-sodom
-karin
-r.mika
-rolento
-juli & juni (but they suck)
-eagle (psp)
-maki (psp)
-yun (psp - but he's a sf3 original)
besides, sfa's and sfII's stories fit together perfectly, whereas sf3 is in a class by itself. which is why i kind of hated the idea of mixing sf3 characters in the game in the first place (especially since they got raped). i think capcom was better off expanding from sf3 into sf5. so i'd rather not see any more sf3 characters. but since there will be, i guess i'd rather see alex & sean.
Posted by lukecage83 on August 21, 2010 at 12:52 a.m. #221
oh wait, i guess if i pick ken's original yellow costume, i'll have sean, right? GTFOH!!!
Posted by Loghorn on August 30, 2010 at 7:58 p.m. #222
Those of you that are thinking about EX characters, they aren't happening, because they belong to Arika. Besides, they don't fit in SF at all.
Posted by Bigboo on September 4, 2010 at 12:39 p.m. #223
my thoughts are
1.Elena(My 3rd fav character we also need more africans)
2.Yun & Yang(they arer very good my opinion)
3.Karin(just a beats xD)
4.Juli & Juni(this will be intresting to have them in)
5.R.Mika(we need a female grabber)
6.Sean(good character in all)

goutetsu is akuma and gouken's sensei, right?
never seen him, but it would be cool if he was in it...
i'd also like to see garuda, alex (just so everyone else can be happy i guess lol), rolento and maybe birdie (i like eating him up XD)... aside from yun and yang who are already all but confirmed.

The thing is I do like Karin. She's not a horrible character and she could have a lot to add to the story.
And Yun and Yang that was a pretty dumb idea. They are pretty much the same character.
Another I have to shake my head at is Urien. I just don't like him. To me he's awkward and doesn't really showcase his power.
Posted by dor155 on October 8, 2010 at 9:14 a.m. #230
this are my 6 chars.
yun and yan, they are already in (but they sux)
Oro, this char would be cool, looking for a disciple and have a macth against ryu and asked him to practice with him but ryu refuse cause of akuma and gouken things
alex and hugo, to see everyone happy
and last one could be an evil ryu or a total new char, like someone from south america, for example a Colombian guy who is a high militar and its rude, or a argentinan guy that play soccer and has some strongs kicks, or a peru dude that is an indian from the incas knowledge or maybe some ecuatorian that is guide by a sun god or something like that
