Capcom's Christian Svensson tried to clear up the situation a bit with the recent statements that were made about SSF4's unlikely release on the PC. Can you give me a clear answer if Super Street Fighter 4 will be released on the PC? I keep hearing conflicting information.
Christian Svensson: I don't know how to be more clear guys. While I wish it weren't the case, the answer as I've repeatedly said for the past year or so is "no"... until such time it hopefully becomes "yes". There are some of us that still want to see that happen.
What does the Battle Director do? It sounds like a cool position.
Ono: [The] position [is] for balance adjustment of fighting [games].
Please include R. Mika in the arcade version of SSF4.
Ono: Yeah! I love R. Mika!! But, [the] Battle Director doesn't like her!! :(
Any news on SF III 3rd Strike Online Edition. Maybe a release date?
Ono: [The game is in development] now! Please wait [for more] news.
Are there any plans to add other characters to SSF4 Arcade Edition, or is it just Yun & Yang?
Ono: Of course, [it's] just Yun and Yang!! ;P
Reading into the last statement a bit, it appears Yoshinori is trying to be sarcastic because of the emoticon. And since current rumors have been picking up more steam after the December release date was confirmed, it's sounding more and more likely that there are going to be additional fighters announced for the arcade release of Super Street Fighter 4.
Source: Unity Boards and Twitter.
R.Mika didn't make the cut? Fine by me, the only guy I need now is Rolento.
Sucks for PC only gamers, I guess. But seriously, if you're really a fighting game fan, you should have a console. MvC3, SF x Tek, Tek x SF, MK9, Tekken Tag 2 and tonnes of other fighting games are planned only for consoles...
And I hope that besides DLC for those who already have SSF4, Capcom will release a new disc (SSF4 Turbo or Arcade edition) with all new characters and all costumes.
This news really bothers me for one reason; mika's deconfirmation. I was hoping that Capcom would really try and add as many diverse fighters and styles as possible and she is nothing like anyone else in the current roster. This just shows that more interesting characters are being left and those are the types of characters I am drawn to as a player. Q is seeming more and more like a pipe dream now...
$hit boring..same topic for the past weeks.. Mortal Kombat is getting more hyped than this.
@3
Lol Agreed
But seriously, R. Mika isn't unique or interesting... she's essentially a variant of Zangief and SSF4 already has so many more interesting grapplers. And if they're going to add Alex or Hugo, Mika would be much too similar to either of them (Alex especially)...
Please give me elena so I can drop blanka... kthanxbai
I dont understand why so many people ask for characters they wont play its the same with the new characters already.. everyone claimed they would play them and the month after everyone was back to using the red head banded saviour
People would play Mika for a week and the same with Q because they werent even played that much in the game they were in.. yun and yang will be mained by some people because they were popular but seriously stop asking for characters you will never play
Everyone wanted cody and guy/ dee-jay and adon but how many people play them now...
Also please capcom if your gonna make any new characters please give them a decent reversal... all the new characters dont have a decent get off me move with is probably why people stick to ryu as they can mash shoryu in block strings
@ SmexyMillz
I'm proud to say I stuck with my call and Main Cody now. So don't completly lose faith in new characters.
(No R. Mika? Battle Director, I thought we were cool?...)
@MegatonBeef sick I never see people playing new characters man
Check out the censor job Marvel/Capcom is doing with Feleica/Morrigan
Yeah...r mika isnt coming..great..!
@ 25 i mained makoto in 3s and still play her no matter how bad she is..bt your point about reversal is somewhat right!
#2, that would kinda suck to be honest if they released a new game all together. we'd have to get alllll the achievments again....
#25
Not everyone plays in online ranked matches. I use ALL characters from time to time when playing in the Arcade mode or against friends online or at my place. People use Ryu on ranked matches because its easier to score points. It seems that most people completely forget that the game can be played in 2-player matches in their living room or in 1p in Arcade! Oh and for the record i now main Juri & Chun Li
If Elena comes back I'm maining her enough said
NOW GIVE HER BACK TO ME.
Wow WTF is with all the Censoring Capcom is doing in the US? I know it's Capcom & not Marvel cause of the same thing they did to Juri in the English Alt costume trailer?
It's not like the game is censored from the Jap version why censor the character art on the website? They completely cut off 80% of the Felicia pic. They're going a little too far, so much that it's so blatantly noticeable & just makes you question it.
That's not necessarily saying that Mika didn't make the cut. These are just the same old backwards answers we get all the time...
You can already expect that without a doubt that Hugo will be added in. So that's 3 that are in (Hugo, Yun, Yang). So only 3 more need to be announced. The other probable characters (and I'm going to name more than 3) would be Rolento, Karin, Alex, Elena(which I wouldn't like, but that's just me), and R.Mika. Just throwing a bone out there, I'm sure only 2 of those characters will actually make it. I don't deny the fact that the last character added in will be someone entirely new to the franchise as a fighter. Maybe Poison from Final Fight, I don't know. We'll just have to wait.
wtf? no r.mika? that was my fav character in alpha 3 dammit u battle director u suck!!!
@43
I know! Doesn't it piss you off?!
How dare I forget how biased/uptight/sexist this country is when it comes to censorship.
Hulk can stay shirtless, or chars like Seth can be naked all damn day, but show a little bit of breast? OH NO!
**** that ****.
@#3: If you're talking about Svensson, then try listening: he's saying, as he has been saying for the last year, that the answer is "No" from his bosses. HE and OTHERS would like a PC version, and he's not saying that there never will be, but they're definitely not doing anything like secretly developing it for the PC and keeping it under their hat or anything like that... the bosses have said NO and it's not currently being developed, it's not planned for development and aside from a few Capcom employees who aren't being listened to, no-one in Capcom with any REAL power seems interested in developing it. Svensson can't say it'll NEVER happen, since things can change. But AS FAR AS HE CAN SEE, the answer is no.
"Also, Yoshinori Ono answered a few fan questions. He implies there are more characters coming for the arcade release of SSF4, besides Yun and Yang — and that Rainbow Mika didn't make the cut."
I really wish Hubs would stop presenting their own loose interpretations of Ono's vague words in their articles. There's no way to be certain if Ono was "being sarcastic" about more characters. Okay, so it is IMPLIED that R. Mika didn't make the cut. But it sure as hell wasn't IMPLIED that there will be more characters, Hubs just interpreted it that way.
^Yeah, just because it's a slow news day, don't go putting words in people's mouths to make your news articles seems more interesting. TBH, the timeframe makes it SEEM like there's more content coming, but remember that SSF4 had pretty much all its content finalised well before the actual release date, like a month beforehand. So really, there's only two months left for Capcom to finish all their balance changes and iron out the kinks with Yun and Yang. It's possible that MAYBE, at most, two more characters are coming, given what we know, but even that's just guesswork.
Capcom slacks like crazy. They don't know how to hype a game up. They have to tell us who will be in this arcade version to hype us up and not play these stupid games like if we are little kids.
People should stop hating on Mika based on their own lack of awareness. It's like most people took a look at her and didn't care what she offered. (and people wonder why SFIII sales bombed record lows. Yeah, that's right, I said it.)
Mika and Karen offered the most moves and setups in-game provided you knew about them and didn't whore V-ism like the flock of fairweather sheep people were behaving like.
Whoever is battle director sucks with the new balance changes if they become true I mean Bison's Ultra 2 a charge motion and Chun is still having her regular motion is stupid...
Anyways to PC thank the pirates for screwing with you now capcom is screwing you back basically.
Give me Rolento he was my main in SFA3 hopefully he won't be so damn slow he better have an Air throw.
As much as I want to see Mika in, all I really want is Karin or Poison...
Mika isn't a no. I'm sure she's still being considered. Mika seems to be Ono's favorite and he's the main man. In the end, if our demand for her is big enough, he can get her in.
Ono if you're reading this:
IF NOT MIKA, POISON OR KARIN!
This is awesome!!!!
and he has street fighter videos up!!
Hey guys, #1 might have a point, maybe lets just buy Blazblue for PC while capcom keeps jerkin us around, since it looks like a fun online fighter.
Where did you buy it? I thought it was only a euro release, no US.
I can't wait, when SF3 OE, comes out. SEAN "Beast Mode" is countdown begins Now. with Yang, Dudley and Akuma. i just hope they don't put in Gill for online mode because his character usage is going to surpass Ryu,Ken, Yun, chun li and akuma. because of that Resurrection ability.
Also, in regards to Felicia and Morrigan artwork being censored. Capcom has really strict guidelines given to them by the ESRB.
If stuff they post on a website goes above a certain point, they have to add age verification into it before viewers can see the content.
As far as I can tell, what you saw with the "censored" artwork was simply a way of them avoiding having to put an age verification module up before people visit the MvC3 website.
look guys this is pointless arguing...this is no different than vanilla...who ever is in , is already on the cd to a point, which i think is part of the reason there is no pc release(someone will find out) not the whole reason though.. face it the game was sold cheaper knowing that this DLC might cost 19.99, which isnt bad at all if you ask me..but to the point when a game is made the DLC is made along or prepared right along with it for compatibility reasons.. not because they want to milk your pockets, who wants terrible glitches because the DLC was built after hand, which will lead to higher production cost and pissed of fans.
well if interested to my theory...this fat dude has a point..great watch to those who have half of a brain
make you look at the world of gaming through different eyes
lol but someone should tell him his glasses are bent to hell lmao lmao
looks like team EG into one person hahahaha marn justin and ricky mixed lmao lmao
just watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zls3cp...
For those of you saying "OMG assumptions! These are bs!!" Ono hinted at Yang and Yun being in SSF4 for months before they were officially announced. He's a cock tease and he does this kind of stuff right before he makes an announcement. It's not rocket science here.
Yun and Yang from 3.3
Why not adding 2 characters from SFZ3?
my vote:
-1--------KARIN----
-2--------R.MIKA---
Hey dudes,
Like #1 said, lets move to a game that is giving PC some love, BlazBlue is released on PC and its a sick 2D fighting game.
Just open GFWL, sort the games by title - PLUS this game is cross compatible with XBOX 360 players as well as PC and that is just sweet, more people to play.
Show some PC game support, since CAPCOM wont let us support them - BlazBlue PC BABY! FTW!
I was playing Alpha 3 the other day and thought Mika is impossible to add in. Given that she has odd animations akin to Darkstalkers such as the random turnbuckle. Capcom...well the battle director probably doesn't want to deal with it.
On another note Rolento is pretty damn awesome. I hope he gets at least a target combo and fast walk speed to compensate for not having all his supers especially TNP and Minesweeper being the most likely candidates for ultras. As long as Minesweeper is FADC~able from Patriot Circle then he'll make a decent transition.
Still awaiting nerfs for Chun's U2 and Stun...1050 is absurd considering you can stun Zangief and not her.
Also Catalyst you need to show some Alpha love on this site. Its kinda stupid seeing MvC3 getting a tab and not Alpha.
Well with Mika out, there's a better shot for Elena so I'm at least happy about that.
@78
She doesn't transform herself or any part of her body into other things like most Darkstalkers characters do. It seems more like a censorship issue to me, but yeah they probably aren't willing to deal with the wrestling ring that appers in her supers either.
Anybody remember these

elena-vs.jpg 540×336 pixels
34oq7x0.jpg 600×336 pixels
wont be surprised if karin and elena are both in.
I say Elena as well.. only makes sense seeing how her transition would be pretty sweet in ssf4.
@Catalyst
"If you guys feel like "words are being put in Ono's mouth" in regards to there being more characters, wait just a little while longer..."
And why would that be?
Rolento, Karin, and/or Alex will make me happy. Hugo or Mike Haggar would be cool too!
If the Battle Director has this much say in the matter of character selection, then all forms of "educated" guesswork about it go out the window.
@37 THANK YOU.
No MIKA!!! At least the Battle Director has some taste..
Still would like to Rolento and Alex, I always thought they were good characters. Otherwise, whatever.. Q, Hugo, or Elena I guess would be cool.
Personally, I'm disappointed that Mika won't be in the game. I don't understand why a lot of people seem to think "nobody wants her" or "people would only play with her once or twice".
She was my main in Alpha 3, and there was nobody I was better with than her. I genuinely enjoyed her character and her playstyle, and I've been waiting with anticipation for her to be announced. Given that Ono seems to love her, I thought she'd be a given. How disappointing.
I realise that she would have been quite different from her transition from Alpha 3 to SSFIV, but I still would have used her almost exclusively if she was added to the game.
Give us 3rd strike already cause this wait for mvc3 is torture
@97
That's exactly how I feel as Karin, except I sucked as her. Still, I didn't know anything then. Ahahah.
Mika won't transition well
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYb-oF...
I can't imagine any of this stuff being possible in the SSF4 unless she's the only character capable of juggles like that but that wouldn't work just because the SF4 engine.
I'd say Rolento, Elena, Alex and Karin for the remaining 4 slots if its actually 6 new fighters. At least 3 fighters need to fundamentally be different than the newly added ones. Hell give us new fighters...Viper, Abel and Juri were all received well.
@97
We don't want her in the game because her character design is an insult to the game. I mean really, I get that Street Fighter isn't the most realistic game ever, and I for one am happy that it isn't, but when characters like Mika get introduced it brings down the level of credibility.
#37-ScytheWP said it best, "Gigantic hearts over her nipples, and calls in a boxing ring for some attacks. Good riddance."
I don't want that in my fighting game any more than I want little kids with giant eyes running around in it.
@BlankaBeast
BlazBlue Continuum Shift is garbage. I loved the first to death but this one is heavily reliant on loops to get an good damage. I'd wait for BlazBlue Continuum Shift II which is the balance patch. Plus a lot of characters in top tier ravage everybody else and just like SSF4, tier whoring is awful.
@103 Cant have Eagle without his best mate Birdie. Alex and Rolento bring those S.O.B's. back.
@101
She's just as out there as the fire breathing rubber man whose alt colors change his skin to weird colors, the green beast man with electricity powers, the scarlet-skinned Turkish oil wrestler, the naked metal guy with a sphere in his torso, or... or, well, RUFUS.
They also jump several feet in the air, shoot fireballs at each other, have flaming uppercuts, teleport, break out of prison with their fists, and let me reiterate: THEY SHOOT FIREBALLS AT EACH OTHER FROM THEIR BODIES.
WHAT LEVEL OF CREDIBILITY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I sure as hell don't see it. The wrestling ring, while I see where it could be a problem in terms of animation or gameplay or whatever, I sure as hell don't think there's a realism issue. I wasn't aware Hakan's oil barrel came from anywhere in particular either. Or the oil drums Guy kicks through in his entry scene.
Now, about Mika's lack of modesty. Clearly you must be some sort of idiot. Zangief wears nothing but boots and a little red... thing. Cammy's ass hangs out of her skintight costume. Sakura constantly flashes her bloomers. Seth is naked. Rufus's body jiggles more than the breasts of the female characters, or anything else I've ever seen, for that matter. Seeing a pattern here, SureYouKan?
Well, I think I've made my point.
@101
That's simply your opinion, though. Just because you personally don't like someone isn't grounds to write them off completely. Chances are, for every character you don't like, there are thousands of other people who do like that character.
You say her character design is an insult to the game, yet there are plenty of other characters with designs far worsethan hers. And even then, those characters are fun to play as, as well. Mika wants to be a superstar in the wrestling entertainment business, and that kind of costume is typical for such things. It hardly "brings down the game's credibility".
How she looks (and I personally think she looks fine) has no bearing on how she plays, and I found her playstyle to be very fun and very effective. It's the same for most characters.
I agree with ppl saying that most of the new characters being asked for wont be used by the majority although i think the 10 characters put in ssf4 are popular and have there unique strengths and weaknesses. BUT if CAPCOM buckles down and puts every character that some ppl want like HUGO ORO OR Q they wont be used very much and they would just take up valuable space that could be for characters who are far more uselful. they put in all the characters every one wants but they should put in the most popular characters in the game that would be worth and would bring some depth to ssf4 my opinion is alex charlie elena rolento and 2 new characters or characters from alpha that was popular no more 3 strike they have the best fighters in ssf4 from that game already vary it up a little thats all im saying!!
I love how people think and laugh at Zangief and think he is weird because he wears those wrestling briefs and yet no one laughs at the Rock,Hulk Hogan,Brock Lesnar,Triple H and etc.
@110
I didn't say it was weird, I was saying that the only things he wears are the briefs and boots and was less modest than Mika.
Okay, enough with the posts along the lines of "YOU ALL USE RYU ANYWAY SO WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT NEW CHARACTERS???"
This may be true of a great number of players—perhaps even a majority—but when you filter it by 1. people who are into the community enough to be on EventHubs in the first place and 2. people who cared enough to click through to a news story explicitly about the topic of new characters, I don't think you are dealing with that majority any more.
Even if you were, every new character would be a better chance for these players to start learning to mix it up and try new things, so it's a win-win situation.
@112
I agree completely.
....But wouldn't it be hilariously ironic if YOU mained Ryu? Lmfao
@107 Because Mika is an anime fetishist's wet dream, that's why!!
The SF canon takes place in a surreal world of projectiles and long-limbs and monsters that emit electricity (I already pointed out I didn't have a problem with surrealism) but come on at least they're not pandering to the 14year old kid (or pervy old man) with a constant hard-on for anything with giant fake breasts.
Yes, Seth's naked (he's a robot) and Zangief isn't wearing much - hey, if that's what gets you off, more power to you. Me? I see tits in real life, I don't need some bs character anime wrestler-wannabe throwing "flying butt attacks." It's cheap, it's cheesy, and I think it sells the series short. Personal opinion. You want a costume like that? Then buy it as an alt. Apparently, the Battle Director agrees. As a main character design, I think it's piss-poor. Then again, I'm not 14 anymore.
@101 Your arguments are more sound, and I'll give you that it is just my opinion. As far as worse character designs, the only one I can think of is Rufus, who I don't really agree with, and is basically the Japanese mocking obese Americans (which, to an extent, they have a point). If they would've kept his main design as the kung-fu style alt, I wouldn't have had a problem with it. Every other female fits into the cast well without blatantly selling this ultra-sexualized anime image (except Cammy's thong is a little much, but at least she has an air of toughness about her, rather than an air of cosplay whore-house in the Shunjuku district).
@irrenmann
I agree, don't know what's up with all this Ryu fixation that some people seem to have. He's not even high tier anymore like he was in vanilla, was nerfed pretty bad in SSF4 and looks like he'll be nerfed a bit more in SSF4AE (i.e. no more early air tatsu escape from corner). Actually, I've seen more Guiles, Akumas or Kens online lately than Ryus, go figure.
@ 114
I understand your thoughts on the matter, but I still can't say I really agree. I've never viewed her as a pure "sex object" in the sense you're saying. Again, her attire is pretty typical for the female wrestling entertainment business, and that's exacally what she's aiming to be a star of. Sure, fanservice does come into play a little, but that's the case with pretty much every female character.
Regardless, I know that just like people may not agree with your opinion, people may not agree with mine as well, but I find the way she looks to be just fine, given her profession and her aim in the story. And I still find her to be a wholly entertaining character, both in personality and in playstyle.
Since she IS my main in Alpha 3, I may be a bit biased. I don't know. But still, I'd love for her to be in the game. I know her playstyle may be pretty different due to SSFIV being a completely different game, but I'd definately still use her.
I don't see what's so wrong about wanting your favorite characters into a new game. Maybe I view it differently or something, but rather than saying a character is a "waste of space" like people seem to enjoy saying, wouldn't it be better for people to just accept that maybe people will like the characters that are announced, and simply not play as them in the main game if you don't like them?
Ok lets settle the beef. Nobody would have a problem with Mika if we didn't have such a limit on the new characters. Considering we have 4 more potential slots, sorry Mika fans but the harsh reality is that you're asking for a character that COMPLETELY defies the engine of SSF4. From her top rope move variations to her seemingly heavy emphasis on juggles and awkward super combos setups, she isn't going to work well. If Ono isn't optimistic of Mika's inclusion and the battle director is slapping wrists then she's not looking likely.
@ 117
Those are very minor grievances that could easily be fixed during the transition from Alpha to SSFIV. Combos were mainly dependant on what ~ism you were using in Alpha 3. The other Alpha characters made the transition well enough, so fixing Mika to work in the SSFIV engine wouldn't be difficult. She'd play a little differently, but most of the characters from Alpha/SFIII play a little differently now.
As for the the ring appearing out of nowhere during one of her Supers, that can also easily be fixed. The ring served no purpose other than for her to stand on the edge and jump off. Given the 3D nature of the backgrounds in SSFIV, they would easily make it so every stage has an item (a table in the background, a rock, a post, whatever) that she could jump onto during her Ultra that requires it.
@tokyobassist
Are character slots really limited I've heared all the rumors that only 6 new characters will be added, but in the age of DLC isn't it possible for Capcom to add characters each year if they see it profitable. Thier's no way to know if they would do that but equally I have no reason yet to beleive they wont.
Wow...I'm actually kinda shocked. I swore r.mika was gonna be in the game since ono wanted her in vanilla sf4. But at the same time...idc. all I want is rolento to be confirmed. 6 new characters were rumored to be in...2(yun & yang) have been confirmed...4 more to go..wonder who they will be.? Jus PLEASE let rolento be in it...
@smexy # 20watever
I use EVERY new character...&& I main with two of em...adon && makoto. Matter fact...I'm the BEST adon && makoto player in the state of MARYLAND && have been nicknamed "the black gamerbee"becuz of my adon && "justin wong runner up" becuz of my makoto. && my lil bro mains with cody. So the new characters are NOT a waste && I'm pretty sure the 6 we get soon will be played by a lot of ppl...especially yun & yang since they were top tiers in sf3. U don't need "get da heck off me" reversals to win. Actually...that's a quick way to lose if u can bait them into using it.
I never said I think Mika SHOULD be in the game, I should note. I'd much prefer they fill those slots with other characters, not that I have anything against her. I was arguing against your flimsy statements, not your desire to have her out of the game.
BBBBBBIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGG IIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF:
Wat if charlie is in it.? Lmao...I mean..it isn't confirmed that he's dead..plus he was an alpha favorite && he was in mvc2. He can be guiles double character since there's ryu&ken...yun&yang...y not guile&charlie.? This will never happen tho lol...but wat if.?
ALEX and HUGO!!!!!
It would be cool to see Hugo and Zangief in a rival fight.
HUGO'S GIGAS BREAKER would kick Zangief's ass
Alex takin on Cody cause they are both cocky and straight up gangsta. Alex- (bustin out ultra on Cody) YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! HYPER BOMB!!!!! At ease loser...
as long as they don't give Hugo, T Hawks and Abels crap recovery time on grabs.. let Hugo have Zangief range and definitely not E.Honda's priority on grabs... Wouldn't mind if he was as slow as Makoto, but he'd better have a sexed dash.. He should have the highest stamina..
Alex same story as Hugo ^,, but if he ever got made, he'd probably have Abel like grab properties..
@Jakulagi Your right, I would be happy even if one of these guys makes it for SSF4 but we'll see what happens...
Alex is kinda unique though in the sense that he has all types of moves, charge character moves (HEAD STOMP and DASHING ELBOW) Half circle moves (power bomb) down forward moves (slash) z moves anti-airs (grab in the air with his knees and smashes you down) and lastly his super is 360 (HYPER BOMB!!!) I don't know another that has the same...
Birdie will kick Zangief and Hugo's A$$ anytime of the day he is after all one of the original street fighter's. Plus his black and black people are cool!
like fabulos said, Alex and Rolento MUST be in and I'm also good but I think Karin and Elena will make it as well
If capcom are adding four more characters we will probably get two characters Aplha (probably between Karin, Sodom, and Rolento) and two new characters just to keep things fresh. Also I can't really see how hard it is to make R.Mika work in SSF4. Just make her a mix of El Fuerte and Zangeif or Her just in a way that she play like Zangief but have her attacks fairly strong,fairly weak, make her a little fast, and at least one move thats make her unique from zangief (kind of the thing with Ryu and Sakura).
I don't know if anyone has already posted this, it seems obvious, but...
This seems like confirmation that R. Mika is in the game. If the "Battle Director doesn't like her," and his job is balancing... that means she's being balanced- in game.
If you've ever modeled, skinned, animated, and programmed a char, you know it's too much work to just throw away... no matter how much the "Battle Director" doesn't like her.
Also in other news of the obvious... Capcom isn't going to cut off a million+ dollar nose to spite the face of piracy. There will be a PC release.
Rolento and just give us a few completely new characters.
Every single new created character since SFIV had a huge success so why stop now to add sh-it like Elena that no one will play?
Juri, Rufus, Abel, Viper even ElF and Hakan... All these characters destroyed Elena's, Karin's or whatever success. So what's the deal with old characters when new creations turn out to be so fun to play and watch?
Capcom can build better characters from scratch to this new 2.5D engine than we ever had. We win the twice with completely new characters than with old ports.
So I don't get why people want to waste slots with more old trash. The most shocking is the Elena requests, seems almost like a bad joke.
Hey Ono ask the Battle Director about Alex and Rolento
Honestly the only ones that are noteworthy and should get added to this game are alex rolento karin Q/or urien, seems very logical to me since 3-5 of the characters I mentioned are popular demands, great character designs, plays well or very well and barely anyone with skill would complain.
with any luck those will be the next characters announced and being greedy here but how about gill if theres no urien loool
Holy crap...this topic is a lot more productive at the end. Good to see some damn unity up in here for once. BTW the dude who responded to my post about her transition. Well seeing how you play Mika its good to know some of her stuff can be altered without deterring anything from her.
Well, with R.Mika, the only thing you'd really have to change is that stupid wrestling ring move, where it'd appear out of nowhere!!!! I think Street Fighter has a completely unhealthy obsession with Grappler character.... I LOVE IT!!
Frankly, everyone needs that Gief in the face!! SPD spreading legs apart!!
I still don't see the problem with the ring move. It's not like the thing STAYS there.
Very simple solution for those who don't think Mika jumping off her magic ring will work. Make it a wall jump lots off those exist already.
I wanna see these characters and I can guess their stories if they're in the console version......
Alex: Enters the S.I.N. Tournament to prove to Tom he is a worthy fighter. RIVAL: Abel
Elena: Enters the S.I.N. Tournament to travel around the world for the first time. RIVAL: Sakura
Yun/Yang: After being thought that they're civilians by Chun-Li, they both enter the S.I.N. Tournament to show off their skills. YUN'S RIVAL: Chun-Li - YANG'S RIVAL: Ryu
Rolento: Wants to build his empire so he enters the S.I.N. Tournament to recruit fighters as members. RIVAL: Cody
Karin: She enters the S.I.N. Tournament to finally beat her rival, Sakura, since last time Karin won because she got lucky. RIVAL: Sakura
Hugo: Gives up his crime life and decides to become a Pro Wrestler. With the managment of Poison, he enters the S.I.N. Tournament to get noticed by the world. RIVAL: Zangief
@retsuden03 very creative! love it!!! I can almost see it happening...
@143 that seems such a logic story from them to join the the tourney its really unique and i want karin and r.mika cause one karin is sakura's rival and they has to be a rival i mean
ryu > ken
Akuma > Gouken
Chun li & Cammy > Juri and im tired of ryu being her rival -_-
R mika she hasnt been in a game since street fighter alpha people want her in there and i want to use...so i can beat people with her when they use a male grapper and i be all like haha! how do you being beat by a grappler
i have just spent 30 minutes looking at r.mika matches and i don't understand why people want her at all, horribe design, moves maybe unique but there awful and shes so damn cheesey. With a look and moveset like that i don't even want to know her story, definitely a wasted slot if she was in.
as i said before alex rolento karin Q/or urien are the real characters people want and should be in before r.mika actually before many other characters like hugo elena gill sean oro actually lets just say every character in 3rd strike that isnt in this game
I think they're probably going to add Karin and Rolento from SF Alpha, and Hugo (Poison?) and Elena from SFIII.

"Those are very minor grievances that could easily be fixed during the transition from Alpha to SSFIV. Combos were mainly dependant on what ~ism you were using in Alpha 3. The other Alpha characters made the transition well enough, so fixing Mika to work in the SSFIV engine wouldn't be difficult. She'd play a little differently, but most of the characters from Alpha/SFIII play a little differently now."
SSFIV is simple, making more work for themselves isn't desirable.
"As for the the ring appearing out of nowhere during one of her Supers, that can also easily be fixed. The ring served no purpose other than for her to stand on the edge and jump off. Given the 3D nature of the backgrounds in SSFIV, they would easily make it so every stage has an item (a table in the background, a rock, a post, whatever) that she could jump onto during her Ultra that requires it."
Quite possibly the dumbest crap ever written. No need to change or make the stages interactive in that manner.
@150
I think they meant that it would be there when you played as Mika, like how Cody's knife appears when you play as Cody.
Unless they meant Ultra instead of Super. The ring just "being there" is stupid and could break the game. Cody's knife doesn't obstruct any movement nor does it give him a decided advantage.
Sorry but this goofy bird doesn't need to be in this one.
I can't believe I am still here posting. Come on guys. My penis is up and down non stop. This is worse than the down jones. Make up your mind with the PC version...
anyhow I got Blazblue on PC (bought it at win Live) and it is really difficult for me to understand the game. Maybe in 1 month, I will be able play decently one character.
