Just saw this on the srk forums, these two look beastly. No point in playing regular Akuma and Ryu anymore. Everyone get ready for evil Ryu and Oni Akuma every other match online.
edit: oh there it is =P
Can't wait for Oni Akuma. Hopefully they aren't TOO overpowered and are still tournament legal but we'll see.
Some more vids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1fLY8...

Though I hate both characters like satanic nazis, this is actually kind of exciting.
It still looks like Gouken to me, but cool stuff.

Someone linked to these on an IRC channel I lurk, so credit would go to "Fayloa22" if anyone I guess.
Someone, hide the children! Quickly! XD Damn these two are no joke!
hmm... they better freaking have low as heck stun and health as well as no safe moves.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
true we need higher quality vids to really get a look they could be yanking our chains for all we know
Great Capcom.. Cant wait to see Violent Ken, True Dan, and Shadow Chun Li next.... HOOORAY!!!
@lmarshalljr04:
Don't be a dick. Evil Ryu and Oni could very well be canon as the entire story between them is Gouki/Akuma trying to turn Ryu to the dark side.
Stop whining like a lil' bitch and at least appreciate the new characters. I don't like the swarms of shotos online either, but I at least appreciate new characters, whoever they might be.
I really hope they arent tournament legal just to spite Capcom for wasting two character slots. Just like Yun and Yang no one asked for these two. At least the Twins are legit characters though.
Wheres our Q, R.Mika, Rolento, Sodom, Oro, Necro, Hugo or any of the other characters that have been requested for a year now?
Precisely what this game needed.
MORE F--king RYU AND AKUMA.
When this hits consoles........
Remember how the vast majority of the population plays Ryu, Ken, and Akuma. Now double that and make them more powerful characters.
However Zangief players around the world rejoice. THE RED CYCLONE HAS BECOME DEMON HUNTER CYCLONE!!!!
FIGHTING DEMONS FOR MOTHOR RUSSIA!
don't worry Geni there is still hope for Hugo to make it in the game.
Ah god damn they're actually playable? I was hoping they'd just be non-playable boss characters...
On the possible up side though, they leave the character select screen a pretty odd shape that looks like it's just begging for 2 more characters so maybe, just maybe, we'll get a couple more though I'm not sure who and somehow I doubt they'd be in there and we just don't know about them yet but perhaps there're plans to add them through some kind of disc-based update for the arcade cabinets? I know at least Tekken has done that before.
All I need now is a Dictator that's gone Holy One-Winged Angel!
the kanji for Evil Ryu's ultras are:
U1 Metsu Hadoken
U2 Messatsu Goshoryu
And the Fandom raged (watches everyone move to MVC3)
This is the most stupidest edition to the roster yet. Prepare to be flooded with a bunch of oni akumas and evil ryus. Its going to be a shoto fest...all you could eat (smh).
@ Grimmjow316
:D. I still have my hopes up for that. what's disheartening is out of all the possible characters capcom chose these two. honestly if E ryu and oni akuma were alternate costumes that would be better but imo i see this as two wasted slots. there are so many other diverse characters out there roleno, Karin, Sodom, Mika. elena.... ect
lol Evil Ryu has a hole in his chest. But his super/ultras seem pretty lame
1. Shinkuu Hadouken seems more useful than Shun Goku Satsu.
2. Ryu already has Metsu Hadouken (though Evil Ryu is technically the originator of the move from CvS2).
3. Messatsu Gou Shoryu is essentially Shoryu Reppa. The fact that it has ultra status is..kind of lame.
Interestingly, it's not "Oni Gouki/Akuma", but just "Oni". I highly doubt it's some kind of Akuma+Gouken fusion crap though, I'm willing to bet it's still just another variation of Akuma.
Now that i got that nerdgasm out the way, i got some questions.
1. Why the hell did it take so damn long to unlock them?
2. How the hell do you unlock them?
They could have finished with the rest of the final fight characters oh well can't change what has already been done honestly they are taking too long with the DLC that by then the wave of new games will ultimately be SSF4 AE's downfall.
I'm definately switching from akuma to oni akuma!!!!!! :)
It put me into thinking. In terms of storyline...
Is Oni equal or stronger than Oro(both hands) now?
Someone needs to pitch this question to Capcom now that they've made Oni.
*sigh* I just.... I don't even.... I guess there cool but.... Guys... I'm never getting Alex am I?
@84 I think the are the same didn't they say Akuma holds back to fight same as Oro does by binding one of his hands.
January = The month glass canon characters get revealed
The shooto has been revived!!!!!!!!!!! We're back baby time to own, ALL THE CAST!
Gootecks just put up higher quality video of Shin Akuma. Showing his air dash, ultra, and a sweet slice into SRK combo.
If these characters are intended to be balanced, it will be hilarious if Oni ends up being weaker than Akuma. We'll see what happens.
Oni seems somewhat interesting. E. Ryu still looks like a mix of Ryu and Akuma, though. Expected but boring. Maybe there's more to him.
The artwork is looking sweet for those characters. Too bad about the video. Thanks for sharing.
of course they finally crop up and they happened to have an outdated phone >_<, better than nothing tho that character select screen is looking much better. Hope that hugo icon pulls thru and becomes a character or alex even.
Even if it was lq, those two are looking sick to play as.
The main cast can easily take these two on with their trusty nerfs
This is what ono meant about having atleast 1 godtier character in the game, which everyone thought was yun.
Damn Capcom really? You know what I don't care, keep Super Ryu Fighter IV AE.
Don't get me wrong it's not that I think the characters are cheap im sure they will be balanced in their own masachoist kind of way. It's not even the clones that bother me but this game is not getting any more interesting since Super Street Fighter 4 standard.
Im gonna assume there will be two more characters left. if they don't bring in Karin from Alpha 3 I officially quit Street Fighter 4. And going full time with MvC3.
I'll be waiting for 3rd Strike online while im at it. There feel free to flame on, im done.
I have seen a few videos of these two brand new characters being messed around with by a couple of people that don't really know what they're doing because they don't even know their moves.
From this I am capable of determining that they are op and stupid shoto clones that will be overused and better have like no health because they are so op. Because of this I will drop this scrub game in favor of mvc3 which I know is a godlike game because it hasn't been released yet.
Seriously you guys?
What's with the boring comments wow im glad none of inspire to make fighting games bc they would suck balls
nice the video on gootecks facebook has an HD video of ONI, from the looks of it about 6 of juri jabs took out about 1/4 of his health and his ultra didnt do much damage(about as much as a 3 hit link combo he did later in the video)but looks awesome
http://ja.justin.tv/offcast#/w/788280656
live stream from arcade infinity GET HYYYYYYYYYYYPE
shoto haters, keep the comments coming im loving it :)
@106
If I'm looking at it right, though, the timer seems to be obstructing the spot where the lower right character slot would be... Maybe only one more character in the upper left? Hugo? Or maybe they'll just move the timer.
gootecks via twitter
Word on the street is that it's a code unlock...and that it wasn't supposed to happen until may. Take that for what it's worth
Evil ryu has cr.j cr.j lk tatsu shoryu comobo similar to akumas
No chip on Akuma! Ryu has an overhead!
3S Ryu kick confirmed?
Wow evil ryu has 3 ever heads.......ryus over head, akumas hand chop overhead, and that weird crescent kick overhead.
Ryu looks like a beefed up akuma with a couple of new moves, oni akuma players like a different organic type of shooto.........sh!t just got real!
I'm indifferent to Shotos but I seeing these two in action (to me at least) A)They aren't necessarily clones they have some new shuff and it's been what a few hours still more stuff to learn about them. B)They look cool from Ultras to their version of regular shoto moves they also seem to have other moves.
What a waste, they could've brought back some more original characters and they chose these 2....very disappointed. Guess Karin, Elena, Rolento, Hugo, most the rest of the 3s and Alpha characters are just gonna continue their descent into oblivion.
I still can't help but feel there's going to be two more character reveals. Those two empty spots in the corners seem weird. It's probably just wishful thinking though. Regardless, I'm really pumped to get my hands on these two.
Jesus. Is that a hole in Evil Ryu's chest? Reminds me of the "Ryu Final" manga and what happens to him in the last battle with Akuma.
Oh and why was there no video of them before? Wondering if they needed to be unlocked or they were time released?
THIS SH*T OVER ALEX AND ROLENTO, THE HELL IS THIS. HALF OF EVIL RYU IS VANILLA AKUMA, THOSE LAZY BASTA*RDS.
Every just nerdgasmed when they saw Oni's U2 on the stream. Best ultra ever.
This is not street fighter, 2 Ryu & 2 Akuma in the game. What's next? Violent Ken? That's something that Capcom shouldn't do. They were meant to be in SFxTekken not in SFIV!
Evil Ryu's new special move kinda looks cool, but I think it's wasted!
I'm not impressed with this -10/10
When the chat exploded after Oni did U2, some dude said he was "cumming in a trash bin". I only caught it from peripheral vision for a split second, but god damn did I lol.
Also, Evil Ryu Ultra 1 confirmed for a Black Metsu Hadoken. That's it. No new cinematic angle or nothing, it would seem. :(
Oni akuma looks like he gotten fused with seth (same color same eyes)or perhaps the psycho drive(same boat didnt bison make seth). Evil ryu has a hole in his chest, bison alt has him in tatters and same for seth looking like he was in an explosion or something. Wonder if they are all inter-connected.
Oni U2 was really cool. It was like a KKZ that launched the opponent way up high. Oni then flies upward at blinding speed. Close up on his demonic face as it zips through the sky. He meets the opponent with a Shoryuken for the finish.
SF has always revolved around shootos being the primary characters, and when it wasn't "sfIII" with alex being the central figure, it was an epic fail.
Just going by the facts.
Well for Evil Ryu. Was kind of expecting it to happen as it was hinted in the story BUT I don't think he deserved a new character slot. I'll try him anyway to see how little different he is from Ryu and Akuma.
Oni on the other hand. I'm impressed. Better than just a Shin Akuma. It's like Akuma ate Gouken or they did a fusion dance or something. Definitely want to try him out.
I hope if they are DLC, they got their own story to explain their presence in SSF4.
2 more character slots!! I'm on the same boat as some others here, BRING ON KARIN AND ELENA!!
As much as i dislike the whole "overrun with shotos" inclusion, these 2 look extremely dope. Specially Oni!
And if they were to add 2 more characters PLEASE sweet Jesus, let it be Alex and Karin!
They look insane. Oni Akuma probably has piss poor health, and i dont see ryu having 1000 either. Not a shoto fan but this looks awesome. Hopefully will get rmika and hugo. Would be nice to have more characters, dlc anyone????
In case you haven't noticed,Iplaywinner has posted a short list of gameplay details about these characters.
You obviously won't be able to play online as them or in tournament's, they would ruin the game, literally ruin it. I hate there in this game yet I am really REALLY drawn to using them, I'm sure this feeling is mutual!
I think they'd be stupid to let people actually use them online!
So Akuma gets a new skin that makes him look like Ryu. Nice.
Oh, Oni? Tekken called, they want Jinpachi back.
Not going to watch all Evil Ryu & Oni videos, it's too lame to watch it.
I can't wait to clear these squishy biitches life bar with one t hawk ultra
Upss dosent work embeds jejeje here oni akuma http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbFZcq...
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha I'm not sad about the Cammy Nerf's anymore. This news has made up for it. Revenge is a dish served cold. I will obviously be replacing Cammy with Evil Ryu and Onii Akuma. I'll still keep Sagat for zoning.
These 2 characters have put a breath of fresh air into the game again. Thank you Capcom.
@194: More shotos breathe fresh air into the game?
Also, what exactly is so bad about Cammy now? Her normals actually being worth half a damn?
Oh yeah, will Daigo pick up these two characters?
Hey #110, Capcom doesn't care that you quit, we don't care that you quit, and we certainly don't care about where to find you. Please stfu and quit quietly like every other whiner out there talking about how "omg every1 playz ryu omg shotos" etc. etc.
Why do they have to take up additional slots? I'd rather you pick ryu and be able to toggle between normal ryu and evil....
Jeez, there's no reason to clog up the interface with these characters. As if my fight against shotos wasn't horrible enough to piss me off about online play.
Evil Ryu's U1 as an anti air or after srk fadc does not do the full animation.
Neither one have access to akuma demon flip+follow ups or air fireballs. Oni akuma has a handful of new moves that are unique so he can be welcomed in as not being a clone.
@#192
way to rip off gootecks video to shove on your own youtube channel. lol eh someone was gonna do it eventually.
Between the two characters Oni is much more compelling since he is bring something new to the plate and he has the ultras we've been asking crying for to Capcom for ages. His projectile Ultra, Ultra 1, can be aimed and it can be done on the ground. Additionally, his Ultra 2 has a strong similarity to 3rd Strike Akuma's super art - down 3 times PPP.
Conversely, Evil Ryu though cool is just a revamped version of Akuma with new ultras and a new move.
Evil Ryu is seeming more and more like a waste...
Street Fighter 4 has now turned into a Street Fighter Mugen Compilation now that it has stupid versions of Ryu and Akuma included.
What's next? Holy Ken? Level 2 Ken? Shin Ken? Dark Ken?
I'm willing to bet the last to are hugo and alex, so melee 2shoto, two grapplers. if i'm wrong I'll let a let the first person to bet aginst me double perfect in a tournement lol
Damn, why can't they port this game to the PC? :(
Akuma makes me makes me want to kill people more than I already want to.
Judging from the gameplay stream just now, both characters seem balanced and beatable. People should stop complaining and just continue to play the game. If not then drop it and wait for MvC3 or something else. If you're waiting for "your" character don't hold your breathe and you don't like any of the current characters due to the changes in AE or for any other reason; man up or just drop the game. Simple as that.
@ Kuya117
ok listen scrub people are not complaining about the balances of these characters, its more so how many times we are going to run into these two online. if you either could read or pay attention to what people are saying you would not be inclined to make scrubby comments.
The problem is Ryu and Akuma were fine already, we seriously did not need 2nd versions of the characters with slightly different buffed up moves and abilities.
Evil Ryu U2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1HG41...
Oni U2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0OHF8...
Ripped from the Offcast stream by Rizhall. Oni's U2 was only seen a couple times at best, so this is for those who missed them.
It's a good thing that they didn't completely freakin waste two slots...
F^CK THIS MUGEN ASS BULLSH^T!!!
I see Holy Ken, and Slightly More Serious Dan on the way. Don't forget Super Sayan Gouken, and Sunburned Sakura as well.
no offense to CAPCOM but what are they thinking.I mean we already have 6 shoto like characters in ssf4 and they spend their SSF4AE development time to make 2 more.God i think it was a ludicrous decision.Moreover there are so many characters apart from these they could have included.
I just think they are trying to milk SF4 as much as possible.I daresay they will release fan favorite characters down the line sometime.
@#233
Eh if its them two ending up as main choices for online play, i personally wouldnt mind,why? my reasons
Vs evil ryu: he doesnt have the threat that akuma has with his demon flips along with air fire balls, no far FK that hits twice and is safe on block, he has trashy health, and hurricane kick isnt an armor breaker anymore .....so im sure my Usual main Gief will tear thru him pretty fast :D
Vs Oni Akuma: once again no reg akuma demon flips or air fireballs, no ground teleports from the looks of it, fireballs dont go full screen unlessed charged.
So im sure to have a field day with giefs air headbutts on them wacky air dashes and lariats for the running palms lol why guess.
Neither can cross over hurricane kick into sweep/super(reg ryu).... so most things that made Akuma threatening neither of these guys have.
@239 I was gonna say it reminds me of a Mugen hack or something. I guess when your the first fighting game to have an oily wrestler you start running out of ideas.
Well SF4 we'll miss you, we hardley knew ya.
*Marks calander for MvC3 midnight release*
Can't wait till they release Oni Sean.
Some people need to get over it and just be grateful otherwise do one to nerdy mvc3 haha
#243
It doesn't matter how bad (or good?) they turn out to be, it's the fact they are a waste on the roster in a game that has enough fireball/dp characters as it is and offer nothing new.
These characters have very low health, and a high execution barrier.......so whiners should be happier because the average player should get wrecked by you event hubs pros lol
@#252
Yea it doesnt matter and i do agree with you, as i really dont like shotos. Being out of my close friends each one mains ryu/ken/sagat/akuma since day one on ANY capcom related fighter they are in. Best believe i cant stand them anymore whether game parties at my place or playing online im facing the same dudes over and over for YEARS from sf2:WW to now.
But what is done is done they are in and no changing, so i have to prepare my grapplers and a few others for these dudes. Granted i like the way evil ryu is wrenching in pain during moves and win pose ryu doesnt look dull anymore. Oni akuma offers a few new stuff but still a shoto.
it is capcom after all and these kinda characters bring in the crowd and money. Looking for a bit more diversity you wait for mvc3 or kofXIII, shouldnt have to, but eh what are you gonna do now.
@ #250
Akuma *is* a great character. The problem is, there shouldn't be 2 damn clones of him in the game.
Ryu is useless now that there's this monster version of him, Akuma got ripped of half his moves, and Oni doesn't look that great (effectiveness wise, though it's early).
@255
No. Perfect Alex. The one at the end of Gill's cutscene in Arcade mode.
Awesome guys keep it up we \re getting close to hitting 300.
I think E.ryu is going to be near top tier in AE. first it retains all that ryu FADC to ultra 1 combos then you got akuma get away and dive kick votex shiitt. and now you can link into ultra 1 off a hurrican kick without EX srk. man, seems daigo may have second thoughts now...
Well... can't wait to see how empty Rank Match will be...
PROFOUND SADNESS!! I don't think they'll be as bad as most people think. Who knows though, we will just have to wait and see....
@#261
Evil ryu only has a normal dive kick, he cant do air fireballs demon flip palms/grab. SO that akuma vortex aint gonna happen. And regular ryu can combo into his ultra as many ways as evil ryu, it doesnt auto make him into top tier just cause he can combo in a common fireball ultra.
@265, dude, one of the reasons why ryu is average in ssf4 is because he ain't got shiit horizontal game. now his forward mk its sort of like ken and i think also has a special move that forward pokes opponent in a fast manner so this already improves a lot. plus regular ryu in AE aint got shiit escape options in corner but evil ryu has akuma escape also much faster walking speed that regular akuma. his ultra2 also seems to be more useful than U2 for ryu....
peace
Capcom is crazy, they're just messing up the whole sf canon. Now evil ryu's back and to think that ryu overcame satsui no hado in the anime and gouken sealed it off in vanilla and ryu lookin all happy in his ending in super. Now officially ryu is evil. Thanks capcom. Am dropping Ryu for yang when this hits consoles......psyche:)
They look cool but they don't look good as Yun and Yang. It looks like two characters into one. ryu and akuma for evil ryu and akuma and gouken for Oni. Even though they look cooler (the aura and their flashy ultras) it's not a big news per se. I would rather have additional third strike or alpha characters to join the cast.
@SabishiiRyuu
Stop sucking on Capcom's dick all the damn time.... So many characters out there and the best they can come up with are Evil Eyu and Oni??? Lazy Capcom as usual... I know this, the next Street Fighter game better be under 20 dollars next time... I refuse to pay 40-65 dollars this time around... All these new characters should had been on Street Fighter 4.. Stop being a fool and wake up and see what Capcom is doing... They only care about MONEY.... Bet Capcom will come out with Super Street Fighter 4 Turbo and Ultra Super Street 4 Arcade Turbo Edition in the near future... And ya dumbasses will buy it... Wake up
Yeah... the two last charactersare...
Violent Ken, who is more like Ryu.
And Hell Gouken, who is more like Ken.
one of the empty slot is for an "oni obama" character for DLC.
@#267
Lol in ssf4 ryu is like average with an escape option and his crouch MK is very good for his ground game. Now evil ryu has it as teleport and stank f+mk as a replacement.
Are you refering to the stomp kick that only hits overhead as an ex?
And much faster walking speed than reg akuma?? Reg akuma has one of the fastest walk speeds in-game and evil ryu doesnt look any faster let alone MUCH faster.
Also E.Ryu second ultra doesnt do full hits during a juggle just like normal Ryus. So most likely people will stick to U1 for its combo friendliness.
NOOOOOOO! they didn't. Why capcom? it would be better if others where added.
Seriously, I don't want to pay for another game. I already have vanilla sitting and collecting dust. I really don't want to have three discs / boxes for the SAME game! This is NOT WoW. Stoping making players buy the "next" edition.
I quit playing this game for Hello Kitty Island Adventures MMORPG
@275
man you are a CICI. did your neighbor tell you that?
sure you play like a cici too online. quit being salty,lol
@#272
Unless you worked at Capcom, i am not going to believe that statement..
@283
I don't know, he's got a point. I was playing my dog the other day and he kept pulling that crap.
@#283
?? what the hell is a CICI?
lol what is there to be salty about, you sure you got the right post reply in mind?
This is awesome. Remember when Ono responded to a sf fan who had requested Evil Ryu, and he replied by saying "Do you need him?" lol
Lo and behold, here is evil ryu. C'mon Ono, please add in Rolento!!! But I get a feeling that other characters will be added instead.
@284
Even if he did, why would you still believe that? Look at the back of your SSF4 disc case.
"The Ultimate Vision of Street Fighter"
Ultimate -"not to be improved upon or surpassed; greatest; unsurpassed" Dictionary.com
Tell that to Ono
NOOO not more shotozz ZOMFG!!11
i want tranny poison and wet panties karin to live out my weaboo sh*t in SF, too...pleeaze no more good characters like oni :(
f*ckin fools look at oni...just look at oni you freakin serious? he has a fireball so what? rose has one she a shoto? juri has it she a shoto? just a bunch of whiny nothing to do FOOLS...i will agree that e. ryu is similar to akuma but it's been like this since his first appearance...the roster is now 39 GOD DAMN characters and you still complain about shotos being added?
just because you suck and can't beat scrub ryus and kens online and now pee your pants over oni and evil ryu hahaha
ANYWAYS...
im HYYYPPPEEE...and STILL going to play MvC3
Start adding alternative versions of characters like Beautiful Vega, Shin Akuma, Violent Ken, Shadow Lady, Dark Sakura, Shin Bison & I will dislike the game more
I will probably rate this game from -10/10 to -50/10 if any these characters get added.
I think SFIII is the reason that killed the franchine because of adding new version of original character, but Hugo, Alex & Dudley prevented SFIII from being lame.
But now they made it even worse by putting Evil Ryu & Oni in SFIV. It's not because they're too powerful, it's a wasted slot with a wasted new special move. Even you can't use them online or in tournaments, I still don't want to see them in the game. I rather play Ryu & Akuma than those wasted characters.
Now they were supposed to fix the SFIII storyline, don't even care about money, thinking about the money doesn't make the game any better. The release date doesn't matter to me anymore, it's finished when it's finished. Unless you want to speed up time & become an old man like Gen.
Adding characters like Evil Ryu etc isn't going to fix anything Capcom, trust me you know I right.
I accept Evil Ryu in SFA2 because of storyline where Sagat gets scarred, but here I don't. If I were the battle director I would take out Evil Ryu & Oni from the game.
haha I was right. A passcode was released to unlock Oni and Evil Ryu. I was wondering how, all of the sudden, Oni and Evil Ryu were magically revealed and how NO ONE have a recording of playing against them as bosses since AE came out.
@ 297 I'm not going to unlock Evil Ryu & Oni. I'll just leave them locked to make it look like they weren't in the game.
wow Evil Ryu can FADC into both of his ultras....sick. I bet his stamina is like old Seth (800 I think) with low stun hp as well.
#300
yeah i know dude...im not really mad or something, i just don't get how people can always b*tch about EVERYTHING
but hey in the end I'm going to have fun with those characters and ofcourse yun and yang and maybe even more? who knows Ono perfected trolling so you never know :D
i really need some high quality footage of oni and e. ryu though, and please if someone can link me to a video so i can see oni doing air fireball ultra, sh*t would be tight
hey ultimatedeejay:
Your sarcasm is as stupid as your comment regarding how the story is all screwed up and ASSUMES no tourneys will allow Oni and Evil Ryu. This isn't HD Remix and I'm sure people play SF because it has great storylines (not for gameplay and balance). ONLY idiots like you make a big deal on storylines. Just STFU and read your SF comics because that's you care about anyway.
If you guys are really complaining that everything is the same, you know what you should have done? PLAYED SFIII. SFIII did terribly, basically giving Capcom the impression that the players don't want new things in terms of character design. Lo' and Behold, you get these characters.
i dont see as much shotos online as i did b4 i see a vast majority now due to the new achievemnt "C" rank all characters so this new addition should be cool dont wanna see haters plz cuz when a new cast is introduced the community bitches like SF3 and hakan so just have fun with this for now until SF x Tekken
Man WTF!? When did these guys become playable!?
They look like there breaking apart the SF4 system with these new mechanics man.
Oni Akuma atleasy looks kool and different. Can't say the same for evil Ryu, this is why they nerfed the normal ryu eh? Shame.
Hugo and Rolento would fill out the other slots pretty well. Doubtful, but it'd be awesome if they filled up that Random spot with another character too... just make pushing Start the new way to random select.
Rushdown Guile confirmed? Comeon capcom if evil ryu can link 3 friggin strong punches why cant guile get a frame recovery shaved on his cr lp after going through the legion of nerfs
If Hugo is playable, I bet (more like hope) they'll have Poison bossing the construction workers around if Hugo is fighting in the Metro City stage. Kinda like how Boxer, Claw, and Dictator all rotate in the plane depending on who's fighting in the airfield.
when did this become B!tchandMoan.com?
the game more or less has 3 different types of fighter
shoto,cqc, and grappler
with charge versions of each type
right now in SSF4 there are ryu ken akuma sagat gouken sakura and dan as traditional shotos juri guile deejay seth sim cody ibuki chun and rose as non traditional "shotos"
thats 16 projectile users with only 7 being traditional shotos
as opposed to hakan, zangief, T.hawk, ElF, and kinda abel and honda in the grappler department thats 6
and in CQC we got ,cammy,gen,adon,dudley,fei long,claw,boxer,blanka//guy,dictator,makoto,viper and rufus.
thats 13. 8 having traditional style (dp or FK) anti air inputs. they added 2 more shotos wih E.Ryu and O.Gouki, two 2 cqc's with yun and yang and i'm guessing two grapplers those being alex and hugo.
i mean when you look a the AE break down thats
9shoto
9"unorthodox" shoto
8 grapplers (possibly,if I'm right)
8 shoryu input CQC's
8 non shoryu CQC's
thats pretty impressive really.
my only complaint is the paradox of Ryu vs Evil ryu or akuma vs really pissed akuma.
if the way i think things were done is right they would have used remy and charlie instead and guess what, you'd still be pissed for the same reason you are now so the complaining is pointless.
if anything they could have put in rolento and eagle if they really wanted "different" but they both use sticks so people would sill complain...
may I have my DLC now?
I played as UltimateDeejay in SSF4. It's a hidden unlock. You put your cursor over Guile and you press the X/A button three times anddd Voila! UltimateDeejay!

Yeah, the boss in Alpha 3 was Shin Bison (for most characters), a souped up Bison with a Psycho Crusher that filled the entire screen and knocked off almost 70% of your life bar. Yeah, good times.
I'd bet putting him in SF4 with those techniques and power would probably put his life in the 600-700 range for balance sake.
watch the new chars announced are like.. wolverine and iori or something
Here's a reasonably decent gameplay video; it shows some whiffed ultras and supers as well as a number of specials and normals.
#corrections
Oni:
Air tatsu doesn't cross (E.ryu does)
Ultra 1 can be fired straight up also
dp kick (jumping ground pound) breaks focus
hadou can be charged like gouken
semi back hadou works the same as akuma's
his air dash move works where light punch moves him foward, mid pushes him up, and fierce pushes him back
his semi-circle foward kicks distance is based on button pressed and only crosses with the mid and roundhouse ( though these cross based on distance traveled.)
ultra 2 has huge foward hit box (more like a foward wall) and seemed safe on block, full animation seemed to only work next to opponent and not full range.
ultra 1 recovery is fast compared to E.ryu (E.ryu clenches his chest in pain afterward adding more to recovery...)
extremely fast dash.
playing it right now at super arcade in walnut....ummm all I can say is Evil Ryu is beast and Oni is Beasti-ER!! I can't wait till the community gets it for consol because its gonna flip minds and stuff
I compiled the Supers and Ultras together from the stream. Took me a lot longer to put together for some reason.
thanks for making 300 + comments possible guys sniff...
Would of rather seen two others...just about any two others. And what's with the flames? Did Capcom ask a class of 6th grade boys what they could add to their design to make them look super-awesome-cool? They should've just finished 'em off giving them swords, skull tattoos, and laser shooting eyes.
Well I guess it's easier than adding new characters which makes it easier for me not too pay for this. Too bad that this will probably end my street fighter 4 days when it is released at home. I'm sure most SF4 fans will buy it and I'm already bored with fighting almost non-stop shotos online.
thats cool i guess but i really just want to play adon geif fie
Anyone who is still bitching about having "2 more shotos" in the game need to get a life or a brain, sorry. These 2 additions are more than welcome as is ANY FREAKIN NEW ADDITION. What's wrong with some people? They keep giving us new characters who are pretty darn awesome and all they can do is complain.. thankfully it seems to only be a mindless vocal minority. SSFIV A.E. is perfect from what i can see. And it can only get even better once the console DLC is out cause i can bet money on us getting 2 more characters and i pray we also get a couple more stages further down the road. Not that any more additions are necessary but they are sure welcome, even if they are just more "evil" versions of existing characters
Soon I will play 5 characters: Oni, Evil Ryu, Yun, Yang and my main Dictator :D
Some of these guys are total morons! They had chance to try out Evil Ryu and Oni, but chose to play old characters in stead?!
Now... There is still one spot in the top left corner and the bottom right corner :D I don't think it will stay like that :)
What the hell is everyones problem? if any you paid attention to the street fighter story lines you would realise that akuma has been after ryus ass since super street fighter turbo,thru the alphas and onto the 3 series always seeking his powers, and its been a strong point in the 4 series and the anime canon in the manga illustrations!! So dont ya realise akumas managed to catch his wandering ass and turn him aswell as himself,As the dark powers consume him further and also by doing this receives some of the Ansatsuken powers that comes from his brother gouken to make him the true demon?? damn i think i just ruined the ending ????? lol
yeah and it had to come to this sooner or later to allow a new story line to follow in the next series coz its dragged over 3 generstions of sf so it had to be complete so the franchise can move on with the story and concentrate on other characters, why the big deal most of yall just thrive on complaining pay attention to the reasons and stop bitching!!
@supershoto2k10
akuma was after ryu only in the alpha series. Beginning at Super Street fighter 2 turbo he began wandering in search of strong opponents until the events of SFIV, where he scents that the Satsui no Hado reemerged within from ryu. After Ryu was saved by Gouken in SSFIV, Akuma continued his training. Akuma already embrace the Satui no Hado. Shin Akuma is not a stronger version of him or w/e. It's just him revealing his true power. Oni doesn'T even look canon-wise...and Gouken doesn'T have anymore Satsui no hado in him so it doesn't make sense lol
The only times Evil ryu ever appeared for real was against Sagat and some time in the alpha series (I think). My guess is that during the SFIV and SSFIV events, Ryu is still taunted by the power of the Satsui No Hado considering he can use Metsu Hadouken/Shoryuken. It's only during 3rd Strike that we can see the Dark Hadou is completely since he has all the Super Arts of Gouken + Shinkuu Hadouken

Video showing Ultra IIs... With better quality than what's been upped at this point.
Looks like I'll have to avoid AE for the first month or so after release, seeing as everyone and their dog will be using them online.
Seriously though, what a waste of character slots. Rolento, Karen, Elena, Q...so many more interesting choices that aren't clones of existing characters.
now that there here i wanna see the main story line for the two and if they but it on disc they should make the begining like in super ken and ryu starting it of the the new titans duke it out would be awesome
@84 shin akuma is stronger than oro (both arms) akuma equal to oro one arm. Evil Ryu is weaker than oro period. Im sure Oni would be at the top with gouken power of nothingness. So it goes #1 Oni = Gouken power of nothingness #2 Shin akuma #3 oro #4 Evil Ryu then Gill lol top 5
Seth Killian said SSF4 Arcade Edition will be the LAST installment of the SF4 series. This is a fact.
As for the Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma you knew it was a matter of time before Capcom put them in this series. I don't know why peopel are complaining when these two have been in the series of video games before.
@ Jerry
I already know that, I think trying to say that they created new characters to replace the old ones like Necro & Remy.
Anyways I'm still mad at capcom
If Daigo thinks Evil Ryu & Oni is a wasted slot, I would be happy.
How Evil ryu came to be in SSFIV AE - Akuma possess Ryu.
*Note* when he talk he sounds like Akuma, his lust for blood and fights to the death. Red Eyes...
How Oni came to be in SSFIV AE - Akuma possess Gouken.
*Note* His stance is just like Gouken only a bit higher. His dragon punch is like Goukens ultra 1. Red Eyes...
:) I wonder what their alt custome look like? hah
I don't think Evil Ryu or Oni will be whored. They honestly play and look pretty lame. The only thing that stood out for me was Oni's air dash which looks like it would suit a character like Bison or Rose much more.
When I heard about an Akuma character making the roster, I was hoping to see Shin Akuma, more to the point, I was actually looking forward to any of Akuma's backlog of Super Arts like his Misogi(CvS2), KK Zan(SF3S) or his Air Hadouken(MvC2), but we got this garbage instead. Well atleast there's still the console version. I wonder if any other characters like Alex, Rolento, Karin, Hugo, etc. will see the light and day on that version.

Once again, since the thick-headed of you don't get it:
THEY WILL NOT BE PLAYABLE!
They wouldn't release two characters TWO WEEKS before the game officially comes out.
Every single solitary new character since Street Fighter 4 has had location testing for balance. These two have not.
THEY WILL NOT BE PLAYABLE!
If they are, I will call Dan God-Tier.

Lol wrong much??
@388
This guy is praying they arent playable lol, sounds to me like your 0-100 against akuma and ryu players on or offline!
And they will be playable, otherwise those 2 slots wouldn't have opened up for them if they weren't and people would have to push up in order to select them the same way we would select gouki in vanilla!
Psssh thanks for my credit! =P j/k
More videos being uploaded the profile as we speak. Wish we had better quality but still! These guys look over the top.
