Rumor: DLC characters coming for Super Street Fighter 4

I demand for this not to happen.

*awaits flamers*

PLEASE THIS GAME NEED YANG AND A YOUNGER VERION OF GILL

Bring Mika! and i will love to see this game as part of the Tougeki

also mika is wack rolento he was cool so was hugo no karin either

i would sell my soul for Mika D:

CHARLIE!!!

i want karin

Mika is f****** wack sauce.

Get Karin If you want to include an ALPHA female.
Besides we don't need anymore fuggin grapplers, A counter character would be the illest.

Oh, and add Elena. I heard she barely missed the cut for SSF4.

Pfff, no Mika, Karin or Hugo please.

Everyone else is okay.

And add Evil Ryu.

Vanilla Ryu is bland & Boring.

gimme some ex characters!

and eagle!

and birdie!

yun, yang, q, hugo....enough said

THIS GAME NEEDS MOAR REMY!!!!!!!

More stages > More characters, IMO. The roster is already impressive as it is, so.........

...SEAN

Bring in Yang and Charlie.

the roster is perfect... maybe mika and karin should be enough... and a brand new fighter.

i'd like to see a more competitive Hakan too. Make him better :D

please don't bring that evil ryu/violent ken/shin akuma crap.

it gonna suck in a tourney if you main a dlc character and they dont have them on the hard drive

Yeah, I hope it's true. I would love to see new fighters. I want my Hugo! We all ready got the dream match between Dudley and Balrog. With that, I demand Hugo Vs Gief! Make it happen Capcom! I also want Karin! Sakura needs a better rival!

I want to see Sean and the Capoeira fighter they tossed out in favor of Hakan come in

eagle,elena,oro..that is all

Please not R Mika. Hakan, Juri and Ibuki's hair make the game cartoonish and comical enough. x_x

I'd like to see Q.

Give us Rolento, Karin, Elena, and Yun or Yang...possibly Mika or Necro too.

What Street Fighter needs is another cultural stereotype. Put in an Irishman or a Scotsman! He can wear a kilt or plaid pants, and be a brawler-type character. Sort of like a mixture of Haggar/Hugo and Hakan.

He can be called O'Finley or something cheesy like that and do other ridiculous moves related to Ireland or Scotland. Like Fuerte's Guacamole Leg Throw, Tortilla Bomb, etc. etc.

This comes across as me being sarcastic, but I am totally serious.

Capcom, put in a fighter from the Highlands!

The only thing The street fighter roster would really need is Elena, (Capoiera) and an actual Judo (Or any other takedown/counter style) user. I cant think of any other famous or interesting style that could be adapted for SSF4 after that.

Bar brawling is a totally legit martial art.

@18

I agree, I would like some new stages, and by new stages I mean E. Hondas bathroom stage.

1.) I vote for completely NEW CHARACTERS!

2.) Do we really need Charlie or Evil Ryu? Basically another Shoto and a Guile clone? Waste of space AND boring. Sounds like it would keep my interest for about 10 minutes.

Plus every little punk online player with gamertags like Evil420DemonKillaXXX69ChronicGangstaSepiroth#1" would want to be Evil(cliche) Ryu. Lame.

3.) If they add old characters, put in ELENA!

4.) I say hold off on SEAN until SF5. Lets see how he would work with a few years more of training and add him into the SF5 as a better character.

Fix Makoto. Bring Urien in some form. Bring Rolento. Bring Hugo. That's all I care for.

My vote goes to Elena & Alex. That's all

Never going to happen, it will cause imbalance for those who can't/won't pay. Those players can never practice against DLC characters.

Oh & no Shin Akuma or Evil Ruy. The game will suffer cuz they are OP

oh really soul calibur did it knowing we can't practice against yoda

Hugo already has a model in the game... would be easy to make him a full-fledged character.

Gimme my Shins/Evils! I wouldn't mind seeing Charlie, Rolento, and Remy.

- ELENA from SF3
(she is cute and her fighting style is cool)
- ROLENTO from Final Fight
(very interesting fighting style)
- KARIN from SF Alpha
We want more japanese schoolgirls... ^__^

Don't care about R.Mika and Hugo !!

If they added Elena, R. Mika, and Hugo I'd be a very happy boy. Or even just any one of them.

Add Karin and I will play her, even if she is terrible.

And she better have OHHOHOHOHO

Time to get some ALEX in here

meh more stages > more chars dont need any more 35 is good enuf

@hugeratjar

your right. More stages is what the game really needs.

I support Elena and Rolento. They're cool, popular, and would add nicely to the game. Karin would also be a good choice on Capcom's part, but I don't like her...

Stages over characters? No, making stages is a lot of work and they have no practical function. Characters, please!

I'm guessing there will be a character from each non-SF2 series, so my vote goes to Q from SF3 and not-a-final-fight-character from Alpha. I know Q was supposedly low-tier before, but that could change with adjustments. Q with a focus attack? Hell. Yes.

More stages AND more characters.

Birdie and Alex go go!

GILL!! and Make the PC/Arcade version the final with all updates!!

"You can't escape!"

Nuff said.

ALEX AND HUGO!!!! BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY ALEX!!!!!

Rolento would be great. But im pushin for Charlie. And I don’t give a damn what all you Guile/Charlie haters think, Charlie would be a great addition to SUPER. For the ones who still main guile and dont wanna go over to dee jay, (like me) Charlie would be a damn good chance to expand the boom/Fk strategy with Guile's bestest buddy.

Elaina n Alex would own rolento n birdie from alpha but u all also forgot sodom he was pretty Kool but I think everyone would b in agreement if they added evil ryu n shin akuma would b a waste of character space for a game character

Karin! Can't think of anyone one else. Don't need more dragon punch/fireball characters or grapplers. Maybe someone new?

I demand Eagle...then we shall have the classiest fight in all of SF history

@57

why wouldn’t it NOT be a waste of space? think about this man, you want your evil Ryu and shin Akuma right? well then hey why stop there? how about evil ryu2, raging Ryu, shin Ryu, dorky Ryu, stinky Ryu, zombie Ryu, fungus on his lip Ryu? get the point? if you want your Ryu to be evil, do these steps and you'll be golden: just make your ID Evil Ryu, have an evil mentality when you're fighting, imagine that Ryu is evil too cuz you're evil and there you go. More eviler than that would make even the devil jealous

Just release the PC version.

You can even take Dan out.

add GOUTETSU, Shin Akuma, Evil Ryu, Elena, Rolento, Q, Kairi and Garuda, and add more stages

dorko_p86
why are you going on that rant? no I'm really asking why...

bluerectangle:
Or the gayest depending on how you look at it (they're both Freddy Mercury fans who obliviously keep themselves looking good.. do the math and one who likes roses)

Anyone else want to see the Capoeria fighter they tossed out for Hakan?

YES, THEY DESERVE TO DIE AND HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!

I can see some people's argument bout DLC characters being unfair to the people who dont buy them, but who knows it could be a free DLC download kinda like a update, but one way or another if there are new characters I really would like to see Q, Alex, and Rolento they would be awesome on the SSF4 cast but i can see them bringing Charlie back considering how he is associated with guile and abels story.

The character I want to see the most is R.Mika, luckily she has a great chance of making it into the DLC roster if there actually is going to be DLC characters.

A very close second is Q, although I doubt he would be added since he doesn't have a large fan base. Getting even a little bit more information on Q would be great. (Not to mention I like his play style in third strike. Go go turtle style!)

Elena is my third most wanted character for DLC, partially because I want to see what she looks like in SSF4's engine (=P) and partially because she actually has an interesting fighting style.

I must admit I'm not a huge fan of Rolento, but if he's added I won't complain, I just won't play as him.

Also, what's with all the Evil Ryu requests? Why not some E(vi)L Fuerte requests?

I honestly say this. For Alpha series, Rolento, Karin and Mika. From SF3...to keep continuity, I would say Alex, Yun and Yang. If not the last 2, then use Sean and Urien. I think they'd make amazing additions and it'd be easy to work around their tweaks needed. Hugo...as cool as it would be, meh.

Oh, and for adding a real Final Fight character...HAGGAR!! WE WANT THE MAYOR!!

LOL DARKO ON BLAST! You realize they could just put them as secret chars right? Or a button input where the char turns evil/shin. Nobody wants to see dorky ryu and all that junk, we just want chars from previous games. And it's not like I shin and evil are the only chars desired.

Evil chars are cool-if anyone's worried about balance, just look at how Blazblue does "Unlimited." As long as Sunburned Sakura's there. ;-)

As for new chars completely-I'm pretty happy already-filling in the missing Alpha and 3S spots would be cool though, I'm pushing for Urien the most then (Gill is probably an unrealistic expectation :-().

Im good for just elena and yun give the fan boys what they want ... just fix yun so hes not so broken

@67

it was an expression of sarcasm man, relax. Of course i dont wanna see all the different forms of the same character. did you know that theres a DBZ game with like 100+ characters on the ps2 and when it first came out i was like "hey 100+ characters ALL RIGHT!!!", turns out most of them are different versions of the same damn character. Goku Sayan Saga, Goku Cell Saga, Goku Buu Saga, SSJ Goku, SSJ2 Goku, and on and on for almost ALL major characters! i returned that sh!t as faster than it came in. THAT i have a problem with cuz they could use that space for other characters. But as you put it being able to transform during battle, i have absolutely no probs with that.

Yeah haha, I guess I understand where you're coming from Darko, too much of a good thing = bad if not done correctly. Thought I do trust Capcom and I was actually suggesting a button input when selecting the char but what you suggested (during battle) would also fit in with their previous ways. It's going to be interesting to see what they do!

Charlie is dead ,yo you can't push for someone who's six feet under he does not possess the power of nothingness

Hmm. I think this "rumour" needs to be taken seriously. If the pre SSF4 release rumours ar. Anything to go by then I say "watch this space" !!!!

Rolento is the only one I would like as an extra dlc chAracter.

Hugo would be nice but there are already enough grapplers.
R.Mika - don't really care for her much. Besides she's a grappler too.

The remaining 3rd strike characters (exception of yun/yang/elena) are too wierd for my liking, they wouldn't fit well in SSF4.

Marcbuckley isn't Gouken dead too though?

Please no Charlie, Evil Ryu, Shin Akuma, Sunburned Sakura, et cetera. If Capcom is going to take the time to develop and balance new characters, I'm positive the vast majority of the Street Fighter community (and Capcom themselves) would rather have the effort expended on more interesting ones. If poll results (http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2008/se...) and Ono's word (http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/ap...) are a sign of things to come, the new character are going to be Hugo, R. Mika, and Rolento. Notice Hugo is the only character in that poll who hasn't been added yet.

that makes october, if rumor be true

a question for Guile players? would u guys rather be able to FK FADC and the follow up with an air throw or crouching fierce punch OR being able to have a different version of Guile (changes appearance while in fight) of saaaaaayyyy.... Evil Guile?

id take the first option ANY DAY. Guile should have been able to do that from the getgo back in vanilla. wtf capcom? why fk my opponent in the air and FADC when i cant follow up with with NOTHING? waste of meter

No hugo!!! How is that guy even popular?!?! Im fine with r. mika and rolento is a must, but seriously people, Hugo? Too many grapplers already plus the grapplers we already have are cooler than hugo will ever be. If anyone from sf3 should be in it, it should either be remy(our answer to iori from kof), Q(that guy has trenchcoat, hows is that not cool), or yun/yang(even gen needs his clones, albiet really cool chinese twin brothers).

#74 didn't you play goukens story :O ?

Also, i support the idea of seeing the return of charlie, probanly add him as secret boss, only way to unlock is to beat him in arcade, and a long time ago i heard they wanted to add some character from another game, if its possible, it should be terry bogard

@Marcbuckley Snap, no I didn't. I assumed it followed suit of the story O_O but I mean if they can change for Gouken then they can change for Charlie :) I want Charlie so there's more charge char options and sonic boom chars. More charge chars!

I've been dying for Urien...we only got 1 new charge character

Don't get me wrong, R. Mika is hot and would be amazing in 3d, but unless they did tweaking on a level I don't expect, we'd probably be seeing her about as much as Gen. She was *awful* in SFA3, her slide was literally the only thing going for her. Mark my words, if she makes it into SSFIV Hakan will have someone to look down on.

As for the whole Evil Ryu debate... in my opinion regular Ryu is more than a little bit of a Marty Stu with his squeaky clean image + significant emo cred due to his inner struggles. As such, Evil Ryu is an appealing concept in that he's a Ryu who has "fallen". He hasn't just turned to evil, he's actually lost control; he's a crazy destruction-seeker rather than merely ruthless, making him a failure compared to both Gouken and Akuma. And yet he's still a major badass, and cuts a tragic figure without even a hint of self-pity.

That said, there is color 10, PA 10 (the Akuma pose), the Satsui Ryu title, and the fact that both his Ultras are Satsui no Hadō-powered. At this point Ryu is so close to evil already that I'm not seeing much need to make it official. And we already have Shin Akuma, even though he's pretty disappointing compared to the SFA3 version which loved to use Shun Goku Satsu at exactly the moments you couldn't possibly avoid it.

Mikas Late flying body press was good as well she really didn't need to be as bad as she was he excessive missed throws really pissed me off but i believe in super street fighter IV she would actually pass as an excellent character she's still unique and falls in with zangiefs story and el fuerte

@R4HU1 yeah i always thought goukens reason for living was retarded but i think briging charlie back to life is a bit of a stretch even for capcom i mean guile is at his grave at the end of his story i think everyone should just take guiles alt costume throw on the shades of glory and pretend guile is charlie

I hope it's:

R.Mika
Hugo
Rolento
Elena

at least :)

Twelve

The #1 character I wanted in SSF4 was Rolento... if he's gonna be DLC I'd buy it day 1 :'(

YUN, YANG, ORO, RETSU!!!

Their are many characters I would love to see added but I'm not sure about Hugo, we have alot of grapplers as it is for a SF game. It could make a few grapplers useless if Hugo had his 360 grab, Anti-Air grab, his wall bounce throw for easy set ups, plus Hammer Mountain having him rush down the stage at you. Adding the Big Pink German into SF4 and kepping him balanced would be tough.

@91: there's no valid page at that link, and I don't think Capcom is stupid enough to include Oro.

link broken

lol imagine they give us hugo but he still has his worker helmet on ;p

GIVE US DUDLEY

I vote for Martial Arts Clown.

i knew they couldnt leave karin out. nothings better than a true rival battle.

R. Mika, Rolento and Elena are shoe-ins of course. All great.

But... Hugo? Why? Really, why? There's no way his popularity is as high as those other three. Plus he's a grappler on top of that, and four of those in one Street Fighter game is kinda too many.

I'd think much more interest would be generated by including Q, considering his unique style and completely open backstory that would be exceptionally interesting to hear more about.

Hugo already has his spot in the background of the Skyscraper stage. Q for DLC!

lol @ an already lopsided, match-up centric, lenient input mess of a Naruto fight-game getting even MORE unbalanced! xD

R.I.P. Street Fighter series.

The hype train is set for another trip?

im gonna play sceptic and wait for an official character poll @ capcom's forum...

everything else is just speculation...

Bring R.Mika, Karin, Elena, and all the SF Babes.
But most of all, Yun, Yang, and Oro would be cool.

Please don't bring Charlie back... Remy is better.
They are different!

Hugo and Birdie would be great! I know they don't have much of a chance, but I'm still hoping they get in.

But please, don't waste a slot on R. Mika!

ELENA
and people saying more stages to go with more characters
i think there should also be more game mode - especially offline...i dont know why they took out time attack and survival

i hope we get a balance update along with any fighters. Not to say super 4 isnt way better balance wise then regular for but some things could still use some polish. Another big thing is gonna be how much they plan on chargering if they do intend on chargeing for the dlc characters. THis could really splinter the community and i dont think it will help capcom in the long run, i mean they just brought back sf it would be ashame to lose it now.
