Capcom putting copyright notices on Oni, Evil Ryu videos

where did the passwords come from?? it cant have been floating around or we wouldv had these two on AE release

Snaps kills dumbledor.

He also tweeted that AE DLC for consoles will be delayed now as a direct punishment for this leak.

Damn you autocorrect /facepalm

Oh yikes, what'll happen with the cabinets that have them unlocked. Could Capcom shut them down if they wanted too? This is sort of an unprecedented event so I'm genuinely asking. o.o

@ #3

STOP that. It was just a fake picture. He didn't tweet that.

Now Capcom has seen the hype (and the money they'll get), there's no way they're delaying it.

...

Seriously Capcom? I swear they just want someone to blame - they should be counting their lucky stars that nobody has worked out how to unlock them prior to now.

Also, lol at the smileys he still leaves in his tweets xD

Also, Ono said there's 2 more characters. From his twitter

I have no certainty at all about it... SRY RT @Aeryus_Smith: now that oni akuma and evil ryu are confirmed. Is there going to be two more

I bet this has hurt capcoms marketing stratergy severely.

I reckon oni n evil ryu were probably going to be unlockables in the dlc.

how about crapcom adding some characters that aren't god damn clones......

Nvm #9, misread it. Lol.

@gtfopanda no he didn't. ~_-

The more I hear about AE, the more disappointed I get about SF.

Just wanted to jump in and say that as far as J.R. Rodriguez's YouTube was concerned, from what I saw, it was shut down because he had multiple videos of Oni and Evil Ryu. He wasn't singled out to have his account removed.

It appears if you have X number of videos flagged for copyright problems, YouTube automatically suspends your account. I'm assuming he should be able to get his account going again, sans Oni/Evil Ryu videos, if he contacts YouTube support.

just make Ono CEO of the company so the SF series takes priority over everything.

@ #13

I know D: I wrote again it at #12.

@masterbkke ypu must be joking? Ono has been a pain in the ass, sure he is the producer but he has been letting us on with false info and teases for the past 2 years. His popularity among die-hard fans went from 100 to 10 or even 0 in the past few months cause of it. Plus if Ono was CEO Capcom would be dishing out Darkstalkers left, right and center, even in Street Fighter games lol. I mean the guy is fun but he acts like a small child, Sven always tries to clean up his "mess". He is not CEO material

Stupid move by Capcom, it's already released in arcades.. youtube videos will keep on coming.. justin.tv streams will keep on truckin.. gg

I'd actually possibly challenge them

@halo actually I am one of those that actually enjoy his teasing and find speculating part of the fun. Yeah he maybe be viewed as "childish" by some, I view him as having a sense of humor and it's a very valuable asset to have when involved in the gaming industry. What I want is someone who has passion for SF (and gaming in general) to make the important decisions in Capcom. The last thing I want is to wait another decade for a new SF.

hahaha take that capcom! We're tired as f*ck of your damn secrets, just show us the next 2 characters already

This is Capcom's content they have every right to take it down. People aren't remembering that these characters were hacked out with a password ahead of their release date. It's not like they were even scheduled to be out.

Not this time? bull $hit its been way to long and it was about time we seen some new $hit.... mater of fact its time for some new characters... I don't care if its alex, charlie....just some new people damn... also how about some STAGES!

no one really cares about 3ds... that stuff isn't evo

@masterbkke here here

why isnt this DLC yet? we would be having AE Evo this year if they would release it already so we can see Daigos Yun in action and Wongs Yang

I hate to say this & I know he did alot for SF & the community & I do respect him but I'm thankful something like this finally happened to Ono. Just like someone above me said, this dude has been leading us on & trolling the hell out of us for the past year. I still say we should've trolled the hell outta his twitter with pics of Oni's toenail or something just to piss him off like he does us. I know he does it for marketing strategy & whatnot but holy hell he takes it to another level, when he's showing us a random picture that we can't even make out & someone asks him a legitimate question concerning it he just goes ":D". It gets old & tiring & it becomes exactly that, trolling.

Anywho, my question is that if Capcom really didn't want Oni & Evil Ryu to be touched at all then why are they balanced & playable in AE in the first place? They obviously were meant to be played at some point with AE. If not then they should have been completely locked like Akuma/Gouken/Seth in SF4 arcade.

ofc their meant to be played, they have their own endings lol

I guess they leaked it themselfs and this is just trying to make the hype get bigger..

Agree Ono deserved it also it wouldn't have been a problem if these characters were never rehashed for sf4 there I said it never underestimate the power of PO and curious fans they will find a way to fight back. Sadly they will learn nothing from it wonder what lame excuse Seth killian will come up with.

@29 actually no people manage to hack it this is the first these characters were played odds are not even the Japanese players have tried them out yet also that is the weirdest hype ever if it involves flagging yt accounts

Tired of all the crybabies on this site, to bad if you wanted ae at evo this content clearly wasn't supposed to be out yet get over it, be glad Ono does his stupid tweets to try and keep fans excited. Its coming to console eventually have some patience its not the end of the world.

So Ono is giving you guys hints that news is coming up or something to speculate on and you get mad, but when games give you no information you guys get mad that there is nothing to talk about. You guys are just a bunch of pricks.

Hahaha I laugh at copyrights.

F*ck. It's too late now. Might as well let us have the password lol. F*cking neighbouring country has it (won't dog them)and won't give it to us cos they were told not to tell anyone. Who told them? If it aint capcom cos they wouldn't give it out, then who would it be? Some sort of cyber terrorist organisation that will f*ck them up if they tell lmfao.

It's one thing to give us info it's another thing to post random unanswered pictures every week that don't give any information at all like the one of a character on fire & completely ignore all accounts of it after AE is already released. What was the point of that pic?

I'm all for speculation but it is best being done by Niitsuma w/MvC3, (aside from the whole leaked list thing but that's not their fault) the hype for that game is up and running but they're not doing what Ono does & posts a blurry snapshot of someone's ear & puts smileys. He might as well just upload trollface.jpg while he's at it.

@34 have you ever read Ono tweets... He makes less sense than anything. Also to 33 his tweets never excited anyone it was always announce this and the announcement was utter ish odds are people got fed up with waiting and hacked the things which made for a much more interesting weekend than reading about Ono trolling the fans

Ono deserved it!?

What the hell is wrong with you people?

Its his bloody job to tease us and throw us off with speculation. Thats what creates hype and helps the capcom's marketing. In the end he is just trying to sell a product after all.

thank God they revealed these two boring ass scecret characters. Had they been unveiled once we got the game it'd be a waste of a secret. I'd find someone like Rolento more surprising than another version of Ryu or any other shoto character.

And he sucks at it he's already gotten heat for his bs before during the "hype" of the costumes and later on the "hype" of AE that Sev has had to jump in from time to time to save him from his own trolling.

Maybe they just changed the date on the machine to trigger the unlock?

I know insiders at China Town fair, they hooked a laptop via internal data ports and bypassed the passcode option to release oni and evil. Other arcades have done it too, was pretty easy from what I heard, that's why Arcade Infinity got em too. Novice level 'hacking' if that's what you want to call it

So that is it then, if there were more characters, they would have released them all.

For real so much for high level security no wonder there no pc release

What a great way to boost hype over cheap character clones. If they are revealed and then taken away people will want them more. This is probably all rigged. I hope they take evil ryu and oni akuma away for good and give us actual new characters.

What does Capcom hope to accomplish by acting like corporate jerks? We know that Oni and E.Ryu are in the game and we've seen what they can do. It's not like we can unsee it. Now Capcom is just acting like a big troll.

don't see what the big deal is tbh, I mean if anything this "mistake" boosted the previously non existent hype for AE, people paid more to learn these new characters and people with a brain could see oni atleast played different from your average shoto... evil ryu, not so much lool but now capcom has an audience view on the 2 characters.

Lol trolling for free comes at a price even for you Ono the trolling god himself. Also shoutouts to Japan getting there share of salt for once.

super trolls pwning everyone. tsk tsk. the japanese gonna get to play them or what?

The youtube videos will keep on coming..

I can't believe Capcom is handing out PUNISHMENTS for a reveal.

How fuucking retarded

yes make it easyer for me to drop this game

seems like capcoms plan, I think they need more time to put in the other characters so they used this as an excuse to gain that extra delay in game release, people would bitch even more if capcom flat out told us that there delaying ssf4 AE dlc for reasons they cannot say, this is a good cover up lool.

They're confirmed to me. We saw the last evidence in the Achievements Mode so it's too late to cover it back up. Nice try.

God damn it Ono, you shouldn't of make the code Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start.

u mean Up, down, left, right, A, B, A

uhm the whole capcom copyright notice sounds kinda fishy, i wish somebody would enlighten us with some real wisdom about copyright. like, i know that it's capcom's stuff, but it's not like the code was given away on the net or pirate software distributed or something, this is just some guys videotaping a game at the arcades, if that's illegal then every gameplay video or stream should be removed from the internet.

the supposed crime is not in the video, those are just the consequences.

i know they're not crazy about the reveal, but they should maybe go after the arcade owners or whoever broke the embargo on the codes, after all people are still putting quarters in those machines and selecting characters that are there.

Oh, another-true-false-leaked-leak-story. Exciting day.

CAPCOM, you'd better prepare your next annoucement announcing that you will annouce that you'll later make a new annoucement to announce an annou... Whatever.

Evil Ryu is a wannabe Akuma.

99% of the copyright claims on videos outside of music videos are false on youtube. People just do it to troll, and since youtube would rather just block a video than make sure the claim is valid they just block the video and put a strike against your account.

If you get three strikes your account is banned. Capcom cannot ban anyones youtube by claiming copyright on videos. It takes multiple times and multiple copyright claims.

Honestly these copyright claims most likely didn't come from Capcom, JR should dispute the claims and he'll get his account back within a week or two.

The problem was that Capcom never announced Oni and Evil Ryu would be playable. All they had was a video teaser before. People assumed they'll be playable, and now it's leaked being playable. All the rights still belong to Capcom.

I agree with @gaffel123
Take that CAPCOM, stop teasing us.
Also this password thing is an inside job for sure, Ono, I know you are the one who gave the password, you trollolol ...

Joke aside, I kind of feel bad about all that, the hype is there when you see a trailer of the new characters for the FIRST time. Now we just discovered the new characters through crappy videos recorded from a phone, not as hype as a real trailer. I hope CAPCOM will still release the trailers for Akuma and Ryu.

Capcom should just take them out of the game now as punishment...

Bad Street Fighter fans....bad bad bad....

@43 (giantbass)

You're either or trolling or misinformed. I was there when they were unlocked, and at the time of this post, my video of the reboot screen is still not blocked.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QKB2c...

Enter debug menu, enter passcode into cabinet w/controller, voila.

We don't know the agreement between Capcom and the Companies that bought the arcade machines. However, what we do know is that Yun and Yang weren't the only characters to be revealed and they were at least 4 more. Additionally, from the trailer we know those characters existed...If I were Capcom I would let it be because these leaked characters did stimulated the arcades and give SSFIV a new look. They made Yun and Yang unimpressive in comparison and also shade some light in terms of additional characters.

I don't agree in shutting down youtube accounts because it is not the users fault and they can't undo what has been seen. I know those characters exist, we see what they moves were, so it is done.

wow its 2 more akumas, but one is like super duper evil and the other is just normal evil on the evil meter.

What makes me laugh about some of the comments here is that, let's say the intended unlock period were say, May.

Come that time, Japanese players and others who didn't mess about with their machines would be getting brand new content and excited over the new characters, while no doubt America would be complaining "FFS why aren't we getting new content Capcom?!"

It would be like hunting down your Christmas presents early, then being disappointed about getting nothing you didn't already know about on the day itself.

@akumaous
See, they said four more characters were going to be revealed, but without an official announcement,
things had been leaked out. What if they were only boss characters? You can't take your all your assumptions for reality. Another thing, if your hard work has been leaked, without you announcing it, you be utterly pissed too.

I know if be pissed if people got hype over my work, and I would try to hide it too. not.

*I'd

I don't have any problem with Capcom being pissed, but the complaint that their copyrights have been infringed upon by people posting videos of events that they witnessed is ridiculous.

But they do have the right to take it away as it was leaked and not officially released by them. They made the game, it's up to them.

If you ask me, this is the best possible way they could have been revealed. Had Capcom shown some trailer, we'd have a month and a half of clone-this clone-that bitching. This way, we get immediate impressions and fewer complaints because people now see these characters are legit.

Im just more curious as to where they got the password if anything; my guess is they stumbled up on it.

Whatever the case is, it sucks now. They closed JR Rodriguez's Youtube channel :/ because of the copyright claim, but at least we know they're in the game and playable.

did he get fired or is it another troll?

I think pulling these vids is a bad thing for Capcom to do. I mean, the cats out of the bag, and major news site has already informed the whole world of this leak, so its not like Capcom can do anything to prevent it.

Getting peoples accounts banned and trying to cover it up is a bit of a d-bag move in my opinion, since all of this is free publicity for the game and (so far) a positive response from the community. I mean, this almost makes up for all the trolling that Ono has pulled on us via twitter over the past year, and if he gets in deep isht for these character being leaked, it serves him right.

Capcom sucks for doing this.

so it seems to be so well if inteded leak or not its capcoms right to do what they please with there material no matter how douchey or stingy they act with it i mean they are there and would be there in waiting so im sure whoever did this first know the identity of the others just hope they keep it secret u should always have something to look foward to and that my friend is the whole point anticipation of the unknown i mean think of it now yes they will be fun to try and stuff but u already have a head start on content which in the genere is cool but lacking in general excitment and suprise and feeling like u were the one to figure things out not some guy before u weeks ahead

33 i totally agree

@ 63

There are no wrong reasons to want a character as long as you're willing to spend money on them.

To me, Capcom's shooting themselves in the foot with the release of AE. A large part of the community can't even play it since arcades are almost non-existant in most places. Maybe we'd be more hype for it if we didn't JUST GET an upgrade to SFIV NINE months ago, especially with meh characters like Evil Ryu & Yun.

It's gonna be tough for them to sell the 4th iteration of a 3-year-old game, especially when the wait is so long & many will switch over to MVC3 & even MK9. I can't believe I fell for it when they said that Super would be the last SFIV. This IS Capcom after all. The same Capcom that released EIGHT versions of SFII.

It's so lame to shut down YouTube accounts. Seriously, it's the age of the internet. If ONE sees something, we'll ALL see it in no time at all.

All of this trolling & other BS only makes me not care about SFIV anymore. I'm sure many others feel the same way. Especially since SFIV will be 3 this year & we'll have the brand new MK9 & MVC3 to look forward to.

Speaking of tweets suggesting interesting info:

Harada_TEKKEN: "True Evil Ryu & Bad Blood Ken" in my development memo. What do you think of this idea? RT @WhoDatIZ4:mr. harada will evil ryu be in TK x SF

thank u 85 thats what i mean

@djb1ge

Say what you will about AE, but trying to argue that SSF4 is somehow not the last iteration is just fan bitterness. In the end, all this arguing is about downloadable add-ons. There's just no comparison between DLC and buying another retail game.

unrelated and totally related on page 153 of the fourms it seems history reapets its self on here to funny same questions every time

capcom is salty because they didn't get to make a release trailer =|

They should have just had it that the arcade owners had to upload the characters via an Internet update instead of having them already on the system and waiting be unlocked. They probably also mad they ain't hype it up by showing an announcement trailer lol

Capcom can try and take on the internet but they will fail like everyone who has tried before. The internet always wins!

internets 1 capcom 0

And this is the reason why haven`t had a PC version of SSFIV yet. Not because capcom claims that PC is the largest pirated plattform on the market, no it`s because they can`t secure their software for sh*t. Not even if their lives depended on it.

@85 Preach!

Wow that kinda sucks. I was wondering why the characters showed up out the blue. I played as both Oni and Evil Ryu at Arcade Infinity yesterday and I must say I'm loving both characters. Oni is a great Hybrid of Gouken and the typical shoto.

Now with this news I'm not sure if I should upload the matches I filmed to youtube or not. I think I will anyway since the live stream I filmed was already recorded on justin.tv (http://justin.tv/kapwan/b/278145663).

Well now that those YouTubers are probably pissed, I guarantee a rise in streams. Also, people will try their hardest to unlock the last two characters in order to piss Capcom off in return.

To be honest, if Capcom made a hype trailer then it would have failed. The way it came out before any announcement really made the hype.

and also if we all just act suprised when we release the Oni + Evil Ryu trailer then maybe Capcom wont delay the DLC .

Fun fact: you can still see JR Rodriguez's visa if you use the YouTube app on an iPhone.

Do we really have 2 more characters to be revealed?
I thought Yun, Yang, Akuma and Ryu were only the ones to make it to AE.
Isn't the password to unlock Ryu and Akuma the same one to unlock the presumably 2 remaining characters? Just asking, I don't know much about that.

Also 100th ^_^

:( Damn you xMrTransparentx !!!
