GameSetWatch has posted an interview with Masayuki Endou and Hideyuki Fukasawa, two of the guys behind Super Street Fighter 4's audio.Hideyuki Fukasawa, game composer: When I first got word that there would be a Super Street Fighter IV, I was speechless. We were still hard at work on Street Fighter IV!
I hope everyone is ready for the return of Elena the true kicking queen. Not that loser Juri.
Here's hoping
Still in favor for Hugo and Elena from 3S, and Rolento and R.Mika from alpha.
let me break it down for everyone real quick. since they already have thawk and zangief..there's really no need for a hugo. i personally think, elena, and alex from 3s would fit fine in ssf4's play style.(i wouldn't mind sean either but i know how the children on here are, and i'm fairly reasonable.) i never used rolento and r mika so i could care less, but they're both pretty interesting characters so i wouldn't honestly mind. i kind of liked karin, but she plays a lot like fei long so there's no need for her to be in it. elena and alex for sure..those are the chars that stood out to me the most in 3s(besides urien, and oro of course)
i remember in an interview with Seth Killian, he said "making an HD remake of 3rd strike will be costly due to the large amount of frames, but 3rd strike fans WE HEAR YOU."
i think 3rd strike might be coming to PSN/XBL

the part where he sais it starts at around 2:00
I definitely would love to see Alex in SSF4. I was just play TvC wit my brother and watching Alex in action got me wanting to use him again, in any form. In regards to his play style in both SF3 and TvC, Alex would make a great addition as DLC.
Also, Elena is a definite lock.
Rolento too !!!!!
I think Ono already said that Hugo was almost confirmed if a DLC was to be released.
And for those of you who think there already are enough grappler's in SSF4, Hugo isn't like the other's imo. He has a lot more combos for starters (claps, lariat, ultra throw and air throw are all usable in combos or as starters), more mixup to (overhead, meat squasher, air throw, crossup etc), and somewhat limited AA options.
He has actually no realy good counters either, so as long as they don't give Hugo broken range on his throws you are actually going to be able to rush him down witch is almost impossible on a good gief/thawk.
All I hope is that they don't make stupid cut-scenes out of his command throw like they did to thawk and gief.
@ #15
yeah, that's what I was thinking when I read this. Ono has almost confirmed him for DLC, so it's only a matter of time.
Unfortunately, because Hugo's piledriver starts like Zangief's, it'll probably have similar animation :(
Oh well, Hugo FTW
I'm alright on Capcom releasing OPTIONAL alt. costumes DLC but if we actually have to pay for additionnal characters, I'll officially lose faith in them... not like they survive on faith anyway.
"We're selling it for cheaper to thank the community for their SF4 support... but we're still gonna f*ck you up with paying DLC!"
Would kinda defeat the purpose of a fighting game if not all the characters would be available to all players though...
The fact that they are going to add another free character to the ipod SF4 makes me think that if they do extra characters they will be free as well.
Why not just make this game a "Street Fighter Greatest Hits Edition"? They've already brought back 80% of the Alpha cast, I say go for the gold and make the roster a complete SF universe cast!!!
People QQing about "oh no, I have to pay for this character" are probably people who never explore fighters outside of the shoryu family or cling to the stats on tier rankings to make their decisions on character picking, so it's not like adding purchasable characters will make any difference to them. Besides it would be a grievous error to make any optional characters unbalanced, it's pretty much a win/win situation.
In all honesty, I don't really feel like we need Yun. We've got Rufus and Gen, that should be good enough. ><
Anyway I'd love to see R.Mika, Elena, and most of all Q. I would LOVE to see Q in SSF4 he would instantly become my new main... well ok maybe, but I'd definitely think about it.
It be cool if there was a street fighter game with every character
I think it's important to note the following re: the text of this news update: many projects are worked on, sometimes to 80% or more, and never released.
As for the actual article it linked to, the sound team for SFIV and SSFIV has a lot to be proud of. I was very interested to learn that it was actually the composer's voice singing on the East Asia Overpass track.
ok you guys, I'm getting confused now. on some sites I see that pringles means "really good", and on others I see "has a poor defense". Which one is it??!!!!
Also on topic, I was pretty sure that in the cinematics for this game, they showed Alex' tombstone.. soooo having him in game would be... ehhhhh... or was that another game?
All I want is Rolento. I don't give a mutha damn if he's broken or trash either! I do have a wish list for Maki, Alex, and Karin as well.
I know fan response isn't huge but if each new DLC fighter has a story, Ingrid could be included to possibly explain Bison's absence in SF3. Mind you guys she was last seen in SFA3 Max.
@#25
"Probably" is a good choice of adverb, since it implies that you may not be right. I really don't see the link between those two "players' depictions" and the argument.
My standpoint is that, if I have to pay for core-level DLC, like characters that have a major impact on the gameplay, I'll feel cheated by the company's business ethics. Money is no object here and I'm far from being new to gaming - and fighting games (they're all I play - and btw, I main Juri). I guess I'm old school: I expect a game to be "final" when I buy it. Don't get me wrong, I've been a PC gamer for years and bug fixes are always welcome; I'd just rather pay once for the content itself. Optional DLC though, is fine and is a very good idea for the business and the gamer.
All said, I pretty much expect it to be free and available to all since for a fighting game, the cast is the game.
But then, this is all hypothetic since nothing has been confirmed thus far.
For the DLC, Elena because she BARELY made the cut and the SF4 and SSF4 producer said SHE would be in as DLC character
R. Mika could have chance maybe
Rolento same as R. Mika
Yun/Yang maybe since their in Chun Li's movie in both SF4 and SSF4
Sodom, Sean, Q, Oro, Urien, and Remy? Doubt it because they do not have enough fan base nor on the list for being in the game especially their popularity
And finally for Street Fighter EX characters
All those characters belong to Arika who no longer works for Capcom. It's wishful thinking, but it's not going to happen period. It would be nice, BUT those are Arika-san characters. No EX characters at all
AND ELENA IS IN FOR THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE HER. IF you don't like her, don't play as her because regardless of your opinion, She has a stronger shot of being in compared to some of these other character MANY of you keep mentioning. If you really want your character to be in the game, write Capcom or go work for them.........
NIPPON ICHI!!!! XD
@#40
Well, we're talking about a game that was released a month ago. Paying for new characters a couple months after sounds a bit ridiculous. But I get the point. Companies will find a way to milk a consumer no matter what.
I guess I'm stuck in the old "would rather pay for actual/physical goods than software" mindset. But then, that's why I buy/bought consoles in the first place.
Actually Rolento and Elena have the best bet because both lost out just barely for the cut... I'm hoping for the Lee bros more essentially Yang because he was only in SF3 While Yun made it to SFA3 and CVS2. And I honestly think they would fair well in SFIV engine if Capcom does there transition right.
For some strange reason, I feel they need more girls in the game...SSF4 only has 8/35. That's a bad ratio. Also, I don't see Capcom adding in more than 5 extra characters as DLC. With that being said, Elena is definately in, and R. Mika is a strong possibility as well because Ono wanted them. Karin needs to be in as she could be a better rival to Sakura than Ibuki is, and has a fairly unique playstyle. (the ONLY thing she has in common with Fei-Long is a Rekka like move, which she can ALTERNATE) I also think it would be nice if we could get Ingrid from SFA3 MAX...she was only in one game, and I would like to see her story fleshed out a little more. Maki would be nice to see as well, asI like her better than Guy. And then maybe a new character or Rolento can take the 5th spot...But we'll see soon though...
Hes gonna finish the rest of the alpha cast with rolento,r.mika,birdie,karin and sodom. Hugo has a solid chance since hes in the background and im sure they will atleast attempt to get one or two third strike characters, so prob him along with maybe alex(hes alittle more known, he made the cut for tvc and might make mvc3). We had a solid number of console exclusive characters for regular 4 so it isnt hard to imagine that they have been working on there arcade exclusive characters during dev of the console verison(might be a reason hugo is in the background in the current game). Ima bet no least then 5 no more then 8 arcade exclusives.
Only Shin Dan (with a new and fresh Dark Hadou) will make my day. It would be great.
Now seriously, I played all Strrets Fighters a lot since years, unfortunatly I wasn't been able to play the III's series so I prefer that they put in the game as many as they can from these series.
While at first i got puzzled when i read that SSF IV was already planned prior to the completion of SF IV i am not bothered by it. Planning can mean all sorts of things, they might have wished SF IV went well enough to warrant a second version which would have things they wanted to do in the first included. Then again as an avid SF fan i would have expected at least 2 versions of the game: call me dumb but its how i've come to look forward to such things lol.
DLC characters is as good as confirmed IMO. If they can offer free DLC for the iPhone they can surely do the same for the home consoles, especially since the extra characters are rumored to be made with for the arcade release as well.
@59
What are u talkin bout her not being mentiond??? R u new or sumtin???lol
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/ma...
read this article my friend
now back to the list, i like comment 4 AND COMMENT 26 CHOICE PACKAGES. i would change just a tad though
Alpha pack- R.Mika, Karin and Charlie
Final Fight Pack- Sodom, Rolento and Maki since shes actually been in a game befor
SF1 Pack- Birdie, Eagle not sure about geki cuz thers to many ninja now but thrn again thers alot of shotos too so anytins possible
SF3 Pack- Alex,Elena, Hugo, yun and yang, sean.this one is has more choices cuz it had the best roster ever
Forgetten character pack- Ingrid, D.D, and Rook these characters wud b sweet http://www.sfgalleries.net/art/cfas/s...
@ 55, apparently you haven't seen K.O. use elena in high level play, when you watch a few videos of him using elena you will be begging for her to be in the game. other then that, she has a capoeira fighting style(somewhat like eddy gordo from tekken in a way) which is very unique to the street fighter series. she is an amazing character. as for karin, she is practically a carbon copy of fei long, i can't believe you didn't notice that..the only thing she has that fei doesn't is the auto counter move. r mika is pretty cool, i wouldn't mind her in it only if capcom decides to add the ring and everything for her super, because that's hilarious. they can make her supers/ultras pretty damn epic considering. alex IMO is one of few chars from 3s that will flow right in ssf4. (makoto IMO does not, neither does ibuki..she was way smoother in 3s but people love her in 4 so whatever)
heck, I want a new character that will use Kerav Maga! and I want it to be a female. haha...well, I can keep on dreaming. or not.
For 59
Ono isn't the only person working on the project. He said he pushed for Hugo, Rolento, and R. Mika but didn't say they would be in did he? Elena does have a shot and there was a small blog and comment on eventhubs (as Apollo13 in comment 61 states) where someone said "I really wanted Elena in this game." The response was "She barely made the cut". If you doubt it search on this website. I was not dissing Hugo; simply overlooked him (It's human nature lol)
However I still say Elena, Rolento, R. Mika, Yun/Yang, and MAYBE a HUGO so that makes 5 or 6 if Yang is in it. Does this make you feel better now?
Reasons:
Elena is connected to Ibuki's story in the Street Fighter Legend, is the ONLY AFRICAN FIGHTER, there are two African stages one MAY have be implied for her, and has a fan base because of versatility, fighting style, and a character the would bring DIVERSITY to the Street Fighter World.
R. Mika is connected to El Fuerte and Zangief
Rolento is connected with Guy/Cody
Yun/Yang are in Chun Li's video both SF4 and SSF4
Hugo? Where's does he fit besides a background character? Help me understand
@66
short answer is we need another grappler, thats why we need hugo. Out of 35 we only have 3 360 grapplers. We also need more charge characters. Elena wasnt all that good in sf3 anyway and i doubt makeing the transition from sf3 to sf4 would be good for the character(look what happened to makato). BUt then again, all you people beg for these female characters and dont use them anyway, what happened with cammy in regular 4? Wins the character poll but when the game ships u barely see her(prob with that is that shes actually good). ALot of people also wanted makato aswell and i never see her either(which is understandable cause she sucks). WHen u ask for a character ask for someone that will actually make a an impact, not someone thats gonna put an extra 6 or 7 on everyones tier placement.
@68
The reason why you don't see many Makoto players is because they didn't make her newb friendly. To be good wit her you need to be very good at Street fighter same thing for Cammy even though I see alot more of those.
If they can just make the transition alittle better for Elena then she will be used alot.
@72
Dude cmon. Cammy isnt hard to use, her combos are similar to shoto combos and all u really have to learn is how to space the drills and use the pokes which isnt that hard, it just takes alittle practice. ANd i fight a guy that mains makato from time to time, and he told me himself shes garabage, her playstyle doesnt mesh well with sf4s engine and unless elena can sit there a turtle she wont do any better. U people just want her in cause she fights in a bikini which is said. Atm most characters in the game are worth useing, we dont need anymore hakans in the cast.
The character i want to be dlc
I think Yun should be a Dlc character cause why does he
always just appear in chun-li prolouge and ending serouisly
Karin should be a dlc because sakura needs a real rival ...
Alex should be in dunno why
Hugo goona be in the
i don't mind others than mine character i want
Chickenwings?????
If Elena wasn't that good in SF3, why did they put her in there anyway since you brought it up? Furthermore, they why create her at all? Obviously someone thought the need to create her and utilize her skill and bring to life that fighting style. I'm thinking you don't play as her or if you did you had a bad experience with her or you just don't like her (which is ok; she's not for everyone jejeje). Hugo is a grappler, Alex is a grappler, Zangief is a grappler, El Fuerte is a wrestler, R. Mika a wrestler, and Hakan a grappler. There's 2 already what's your reasoning for him besides Ono's comment? Seriously, I would like to know.
As for Makoto, I expected what happened to her to happen for SSF4. So if she moves slow, how slow would Hugo move too? Elena brings DIVERSITY to the game and a new style. You have 2 grapplers and what's the point of another on?
Either way she has a chance and opportunity. I'm not all about females either I'm for Elena because I can use her and would like to see her in the game period.
P.S. Cammy is great, however, those powerful characters can knock her out with a few blows; Chun Li has a better chance at surviving than Cammy (personally that Second Ultra should have been her Killer Bee Assault (7 hit) versus that Counter Attack (3 hit) but hey it's just a thought)
From what Ono's said, it looks like Elena, Hugo, Rainbow Mika, and Rolento are the most likely to get in. Mind you, Ono isn't the word of God—his mentioning of Rainbow Mika and Rolento was because he wanted them in but couldn't make it happen—but it's the best we've got to go on.
@Shinobi
Alex isn't in this game nor apart of a the character's mentioned by Ono and unless you hear it from him or some from the JAPANESE team(cause the American side is just handed down info or might have info that is no longer true) "NO DO BELIEVE IN"
Elena was only weak because of parry which makes alot of her moves(which some have long animations before hit) very easy to counter.
Hugo's grapple style is pretty different in that he has stun heavy moves anyway for all of those complaining about Grapplers, how about shotos(there are 6 of those) people with dive kick attacks(5 of those gen, cammy, rufus, juri, adon). how many people with SPD attacks? 2. and before you say "oh well dive kicks are different each of the 5 characters who have them have different ways of doing them" well the wrestlers each have their own damage and stun spin on SPDs.
anyway if they put Elena in they put her in, if they don't I hope we atleast get r.mika because if we're getting another grappler I rather have it be her.
wait 7 have dive kicks(Akuma and Gouken)
if you didn't understand the main point about Shotos vs Dive Kicks vs SPDs thing is...
if your going to complain about one aspect of the game complain about all of them and put forth opinions on things other then 'oh they're too many grapplers already and/or *character* my favorite character."
let me give you an example: I want Geki back mainly cause he's one of the last few SF1 characters beside Retsu and Joe (Eagle has been in other fighting games as a playable character) who have never been playable and want to see what would capcom do with him as a playble character, would he be charge? would he be command? would he be a chun-li( mix of both commands and charge), would they attempt something wacky and new? basically Geki is an open book to make a new character with the only constraint is you have to give him Shuriken projectiles since he's Shuriken no Geki(he doesn't even need the claw, and would be cool if he could pick up claw's claw). I don't want him because there's too many of another type of character, I don't want him cause I liked playing him, I want him cause he's potentiality completely different from anything else in street fighter yet is an already established character(like Gouken who while he had the Hadouken and Tatsu, had his own twist to both and gained a rekka and parry type move)
That's why I'm waiting for SF5 because I want to see if Sean's style that Ken is trying to help him develop pulls away from Shoto conventions, I want to see wtf is up with Effie(the girl with Necro) and how she fights if she attempts to fight, I want to see the kid that Boxer has in his ending grow up and fight especially if Psycho Power AND boxing is involved.
So when it comes to SSF4 I want to see the return of:
-Karin, so we can see if she's become more of her own character.
-R.Mika to see how they treat her especially since El Fuerte is in.
-Charlie ,I propose giving him the codename/ID Light(Raito in japanese) and changing up him up to be more of a rush down character to fit him having to adapt to more black ops secretive life style.
-Juni to see if delta red has changed her fighting style
-DD
-Rook
-and last but not least an OLDER version of INGRID

Thank you for your comment =^D didn't say Ono said Alex would be in there either; only mentioned his name as part of my example; great observation though
Chickenwings? Your comment was juvenile and you must be also. If you want speak of not speaking English, your English writing skills on here show that's how you talk. BTW I speak more than one language English happens to be one on them (smile) Furthermore, don't open a door if you can't close it. Otherwise your comment about me not growing up speaking English was superfluous and irrelevant =^)
@94
What are u talking about? ELena WILL SUCK, stop asking for more female characters to beat off to. And nice job useing google translate and a wiki dictionary to try to sound smart.
Chickenwings ha ha ha ha IGNORE!!!!
Ha ha ha ha ha google to translate and wiki dictionary? Yeah you think just like a typical, uneducated human being speaking of WHAT you THINK you know. The good thing about cyberspace you can be whoever, wherever. How about you go to school and get some knowledge and then gain some wisdom IF you ever make it there; work on not displaying ignorance, inanity, and typecasting people =D. Elena may not suck, but ask for you what do you suck? beat off that niwa; pollo
Interesting... Capcom's hints seem to become reality more often than not. Looks like DLC chars in SSF4 is going to happen.
