Nice, looks like they'll bring some new fun back into the game.
Been waiting for a good quality trailer and screens.
i love yang's U2. very stylish! I want to see their genei jin supers though. all i see are the screen shot versions which are bleh. i want video!
@8
Why do you think that they aren't going to be in the game? That's just plain stupid. Why would Capcom split the community by putting 2 different games into the market? That makes NO sense. They already thought about them beeing on the consoles before they could say Arcade Edition.
@firecotton
Cause Ono said there were no plans for bringing Yang and Yun to the consoles. http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/se...
I'm just saying that Ono is full of sh!t...
@ Struggs
That comes from the same guy, that said that SSF4 Arcade Version will never gonna happen. :P
Ono is full of sh!t, yeah. He just talks trash but Capcom already knows how the game should look like and the fanbase will not change the outcome of it. I hate it when he asks question for characters etc. when they are clearly ignoring them anyway.
Before we start tier talk let's not forget a certain gentleman boxer who was rumoured to be broken. And from the tier list is distinctly mid-tier. It's easy to look at a character's best moves and think "wow" but let's not forget that there are characters in the game who can easily deal with others, some not so much.
You should always check you have flour before trying to bake bread. Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups.
the image between Ken, Juri and Makoto... is that a character?
I thought it was dudley but it wasn't him..
I don't really think it's a character but what is that??
Did the original sfiv have the training stage in the arcade version?
@ 8 Sruggs
Good point! That clip proves that Yun and Yang are already in the console version. Our only issue now is when will the DLC come out??? I really hope they come out at the same time frame as the Arcade Edition since it would only make sense.
Who is under Akuma's chin to the left of Gouken right above Zangief? Mike Haggar?!!!
@everyone thinking that Training Stage is a hint at already in consoles.
Notice that it's a real, timed match. Training Stage is selectable stage to fight on as well. I strongly believe that they will be coming to consoles anyways, but training stage used for demonstration is nothing special.
@ 29 Ebbflower
Yeah, but the real question is, was the training stage also in the Vanilla SFIV arcade version? If it wasn't then it is logical to conclude that it's not also in the upcoming AE of SSFIV. Hence, the training stage tease/hint at the video that is for the console version.
*edit*
...video, that may very well be for the console version of the game.

That afterimage looks awesome! I heard it was difficult and taxing on the console to replicate an effect that was extremely simple in 2D games (like Ibuki's dash), and that they worked really hard to get it working. They pulled it off!
Ever wonder how Yang fits his shoes into his skates?
I think they are OVERDOING some ultras (in general). I know, they are supposed to look spectacular... but sometimes MORE doesn't mean BETTER.
I don't say ultras should look PLAIN and UNEVENTFUL (like Rufus'es U2) or UNDERWHELMING (like Boxer's U2), but many of them should be slightly more STRAIGHT-FORWARD...
Also, huge CLOSE UPS and frequent CUTS make some of the ultras DIFFICULT to FOLLOW (unclear). Once again, some close ups are AMAZING and add EXCITEMENT, but they shouldn't be forced into every single second of some ultras.
Still disappointing, but waaaay better than nothing.
most likeley it's going to come out on DLC EVENTUALLY probably 2011, if they release before or on the arcade release people arn't really going to see a need to go to the arcades, so they probably want to make profit from arcade version before releasing it to the consoles where they can profit again. Business strategy
I'm gonna wager that these two will still be in the console version for two reasons: A. I don't think they want to make the same mistake Namco did with Tekken 5 and DR, releasing 5 on PS2 and DR on PSP originally before releasing it on the PS3 some 2 years later. B. Normally on an arcade mode, if one player is facing another, usually its a link up system similar to the Japanese arcade cabinets, where usually at the top of the screen, it would show "you" as player 1 and your opponent as "link match." On his side, he would "Player 2" and his opponent would be "link match"
Plus like someone said earlier, it would be stupid to have two entirely different games on the market where one is clearly superior than the other because of updates and additional characters.
For those who think this is means they are coming to Consoles just because they're fighting on the training stage, can't they maybe have just simply added the Training Stage as a selectable Stage in the Arcade Edition?
It was an actual Timed Match, with only one round, possibly just changed the Service Settings for a demonstration of these Ultras.
Yun U1: pros - Solid Anti-Air, Isn't Crippled by Damage Scaling because it's 4 hits and Last Hit Juggles, Animation continues regardless even if First Hit misses, When Last Hit lands can be followed up with.. More follow up opinions when Super is activated prior to U1.
cons - Short Range, doesn't look like you can FADC into it, nor can you combo into it without Super, Animation continues regardless even if First Hit misses (hoping if First Hit lands opponent stays in place like Gouken's U1 and not like Fei Long's U1, and at the same time I hope it doesn't have Ken's U1 range either). When I say Fei Long's U1, I mean, there are some attacks that free or save the person getting hit with the first attack of Fei's U1.
Yun U2: pros - Long Range, Goes through Fireballs at Distance, Higher Damage Ultra
cons - Looks like it's more likely to 'Fei Long' itself more so then U1, doesn't look like you can FADC into it, nor can you combo into it without Super, Looks easily avoidable, Animation continues regardless even if First Hit misses, Looks like it'll get Crippled by Damage Scaling, No Comboability after, Heavily relies on reaction.
Yang U1: pros - Higher damage Ultra, can be combo-ed into with Super.
cons - Short Range, doesn't look like you can FADC into it, nor can you combo into it without Super, Looks like it'll get Crippled by Damage Scaling.
Yang U2: pros - Auto Lock-on like El Fuerte's U1 or M.Bison U2, Long Range, Goes through Fireballs at Distance, Can be FADC-ed into, Doesn't rely on Super to combo into.
cons - When FADC-ed into Full Animation doesn't come out thus equaling to Less Damage, Looks like it'll get Crippled by Damage Scaling, Heavily relies on reaction.
1)In the poster on the right, IS THAT MAYOR HAGGAR's head encircled by Zangief, Blanka, Gouken, and Akuma?
2)Also Encircled by JURI, KEN, MAKoto and Ibuki, IS THAT POISON's Head? doesn't look like a raccoon to me.
by the way, WHO Head is in btween KEN and Blanka and right above Dudley?
@SF2FOREVER
I think the head near Blanka is Dan and the one between Ken and Juri is Ken's fist. It's a really blurry image though.
SSF$ crew need to go back and refine their older characters, they are pumping out so many great designs and animations for the new characters but the old ones are starting to pale in comparison.
Compare Yang's ultra with say Gouken ultra 1
HUUUUUGE difference, doesnt even feel like the same game anymore.
@Jakulaigi #53
When does E honda get a Mustache and a rich man's haircut?
and isn't Sagat on the LEFT poster next to T. Hawk?
@ButterKnife #54
Dan? He's not where near Blanka, he's next to Sakura. Do you know what I'm pointing to?
I just made an Edit of the collaboration poster pointing out each character:
http://s775.photobucket.com/albums/yy...
-I could not find Adon, and that IS E.Honda (*The "mustache" is the empty space in his opened mouth*) If you can see Adon, please point him out.
-I encircled the figure directly below Ryu's hand, I do not know who that person is, and I can tell it's not Adon due to the hairstyle. If you know who that person is, please point it out.
i hope ono starts announcing the rest of the new char soon :/
People who say the Training Stage could mean it be on consoles, no. Notice at the top that Yun and Yang had taken damage for the Revenge meter to fill up. Also, the time was going down. As said, that wasn't Training Mode, that was an actual timed match.
dudes!
i think i see Q
look to the right of abel, to the left of juri, below seth, above rose...
i'm usually not really into the guessing game, but i just happened to see that while looking at the poster.
you might be able to see his hat and glowing eyes.
@#63 again. The head you circled is El Fuerte. You crossed out his name but didn't point him out in the picture. Understandable though, mistakes happen.
Here's the Edit of the Complete Roster Picture, Thank you SF2FOREVER and DEATHTRAP5000 for pointing out my mistakes!
WHY would you guys think that they just openly put a new character on a poster in which they already are showcasing two new characters??
I glanced at the poster & didn't even speculate for obvious reasons, you think the way they've been keeping characters so secret that they would just put a new character out in the open on a poster? C'mon.
Wow. Surprised M Bison is the biggest image in the background. no seth??
does this mean they'll only have 2 new char since this poster is made? eh thinking not.
Kinda upset at the fact that Yun was beating up on Chun like that :/ but nevertheless the vids were awesome. And i agree, capcom is full of ish and Yun and Yang are both gonna be in the console versions. Why you ask? Cuz the training tip stage, also i remember when Ono said straight up Third Strike wouldnt make it to Ps3 or 360.....like a month later they were confirmed. So pretty much Ono is full of it and Capcoms always thinkin up ways get money..adding them to consoles would definately spark up some cash for capcom. Common sense FTW!
Why is there a delay after the last kick in the video until KO? it should KO on hit like the others.
PC FTW.
@83
No you didn't miss anything, people thought they saw new characters in this picture but someone cleared up the misconceptions.

Did Ryu just get kicked in the nuts at 0:50?
He's not Johnny Cage.
Awesome looks like Yun is going to ollie his way to the top. Plus Yangs super sonic speed is cool too. :D
im really really hyped for yun and yang...and i think we won't see any more characters by now, i mean that poster looks very final, not much space on there for more characters...i wanted at least 4 new ones but it's aight because yun and yang look really fun so yeah now it's hoping that those 2 and balance stuff will be DLC soon
1 Ono is not in charge of anything. Stop asking him for stuff.
2 this will be released for consels in the future
3 arcade will be out for at least 6 months before DLC will become avalible
4 stop looking for new characters Ono hints but he is not gonna spill the beans so easily
5 tweaks = free. Characters that are new (there will be more) = not free
6 yun< yang < makoto < Claw < Makoto ( the claw player ) :)
are they ever going to make it so that goken's, akuma's, and the challenge mode songs are selectable. i was seriously let down that they didn't do that one simple thing.
on top of that, when are they going to add hakan's trailer theme into the game?
The Yun/Yang Ultra video is probably on console, check the arcade trailer Super/Ultra bar is way down while here it's exactly like the console's default, Capcom throwing hints again :)
I agree with Spanish Ninja they aren't gonna spill out the new characters that easy, in the weeks to come little clues and hints will be found in Famitsu magazine or Arcadia magazine
I don't know about you guys but both the Lee twins look great and fun to play. I really hope that poster was just for the TGs and not a final. I was hoping to see my guys Rolento and Hugo with Poison as his manager taunt. I'm mean how sick would it be to see Rolento do his Take No Prisoners with hook or the Minesweeper with his grenades ultra. Badasssss!!!!! And Hugo his animations alone were freaking hilarious the facial expressions and his hair wiggin out would fit right in to ssf4's ultras. I could imagine Ryu gettin smashed with hugo crushin him. Rad!! Not to mention I think he's the best grappler ever made!! Yeah that's right I said it. I was also hoping to see either ALex, Karin, or Elena any one of those are worthy canidates. But I know Seth Kill said in interview that that six charater roster was more of a wish list then inside info. Did Seth lie?? All I know is I've seen and heard interviews that SSF4 arcade was supposed to release in July or August and it got pushed all the way back to December? Why? Just to impilement Yun and Yang. 2 guys some tweaks and balances? Seems offly long to me. I've heard that it takes roughly a month to impilement and balance one character and from august to december is 4 soooo... I'm sure they were working on the twins starting mid summer I would think. This is all speculation but I'm sure Ono and his director have got something good in store. But when is the next big event to anounce somethging like Yun and Yang got before december? Chances look doubtful.
