So on topic-
He looks good and reminds me more of Adon with Ibuki style dashes and speed. Seems awesome! I'm more interested in trying Mika of all the new (ish) characters but he seems like he could be pretty good. And I agree that his super is kind of lame looking, but we will see what happens.
Off topic-
A buddy of mine who is Arab actually detests how he looks and how "generalized" he is. So this makes me wonder how important the idea of diversity and representation is in gaming. Or more or less this one specifically. I'm personally of a Spanish background and don't really care for representation of that. But out of curiously I am mainly asking this.
If a new character came into street fighter (like someone passed "Zen" and "Laura" assuming the leak is real) and they come from your cultural background, are you more likely to use them or less or does it depend on the characters abilities and style.

The serious karate man from Japan?
The fat sumo man from Japan?
The cocky military american?
The anorexic thin bald headed voddoo man of India?
The flamboyant bull fighter from Spain?
The cocky african american who ofcourse is a boxer in Vegas?
The proud and honorable indian wearing denim and a feather?
The dancing smiling black guy from Jamaica?

I know Capcom is older than Dragon Ball though. I was just explaining the original posters logic behind what they said if they were correct.

wait what? isn't stereotypes SF's thing?
I mean this one.
that character hasn't been revealed yet. next month, it should be a newcomer named laura
Wat wat WAT!?
*Googles*
Capcom pre-dates Dragonball but holy shit either way!! O_O.
Abilities and play style come first.
Which is why I've never been interested in playing Zangief.

And now we're getting a stereotypical Aladdin man instead. O how the mighty have fallen.
More on topic though, can we even get any veterans any more? Rashid's moves basically deconfirm all of them except Dhalsim, who will be deconfirmed by Zen.

I kinda like how they play to stereotypes. It's not like they don't have personality or are offensive. It gives the game a "World Warrior" feel.

Yeah, the sounds the guy makes even deconfirm Dan. Pretty crazy.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Would really love it if he says "Over here?"

As in "Heathcliff"
Yes, I'm aware of this fact ever since his reveal when people figured out with his name. The guy said that we would know his origin when we play the story mode. They made it sound like there are more than what Necalli really is.

That stage is Laura'sI mean this one.
well matt dahlgren said he's Aztec so there you go.
the story stuff likely means how he's tide to the Illuminati and how he's still alive, but he's Aztec and from the Aztec empire.

You know, looking him over, he does seem a shade or two darker than actual Arab men, particularly native Emiratis. Dunno if this was intentional or not. Maybe it's just the lighting? Piggybacking off another gaffer's comment that his name is more common in Pakistan than Arab nations, maybe he's a mix of the two? Would be cool.
Didn't sound like it was their fault. They changed the location of the announcement.
They are live now: http://www.twitch.tv/frametraptv (with USF4, Infiltration is there)
Why not?

Nice knowing you.
for real?
I just noticed that this might be the first trailer where the newly revealed character isn't beating up the one revealed before him.
Arabs come in a variety of shades, depending on where they live and their family tree.

That's really shitty of you.
What a cunt you are.
Probably playing it safe since it's Dubai.
Rashid: the gift that keeps giving
Ugh
Can these posts stop already?
Also am I the only one who wants to see every new character ASAP? I want to see the new designs... then afterwards see the returning fighters.
but it probably wouldnt be optimal for hype before release
Then again, knowing that Alex is the most wanted fighter back, him being revealed last would be pretty dope.
