Which I'm surprised people fell for. This is from the same people that swore up and down that we hadn't called Decapre. And they downplayed the previous leak before that.

I wasn't following all that closely at the time, but I was under the impression Decapre was pretty much assumed by everyone with the exception of a few conspiracy theorists think it was Retsu. Is that accurate?
 
I'm not the one making up stages to justify Ono teleporting from Brazil to New York.

"I've been dreaming about this NYCC reveal, it just has to happen. It just has too!"
If you could be less obnoxious with your passive aggressive posts. That would definitely help not make you look like an ass.
 
That new stage is too classy to be Ryu's stage right?
Characters don't all have stages, but this one is Karin's.

NYCC is literally the perfect place to reveal Alex.
I agree, it would have been a nice place. And EVO Is the perfect place to reveal Balrog, but he's probably not in the game either.

That's not passive aggressive. Passive aggressive is saying "I thought you would figure it out yourself" and "Whatever" when proven wrong.

When the character was teased everyone called decapre. Ono said something after that, that he had only seen a few people guess correctly. This caused people to start guessing all sorts of characters, but surprise it was decapre.

I think they're not going to make enough for character specific stages, so they're going for shared stages like in other games. I think this is Karin's stage primarily, if you look at her promotional art, but the background with the moon and the traditional Japanese buildings is something out of Ryu's usual stages.
 

Man this has me even more hyped.

Ken's got that city behind him and there seems to be a desert stage too. We'll just have to see. I'm sure they are focusing on characters 1st and stages 2nd.
 
I could see Alex being revealed at PSX/Capcom Cup if NYCC doesn't work out.

They'll get more hype if they reveal Alex and Urien at CapcomCup/PSX and leave the new characters for BGS and PGW..... also they might as well announce them together, because announcing one will confirm the other anyway.... and they won't overshadow each other like announcing Laura a day after or before Alex.

(I just want dudes that rip their clothes off...)

I doubt they'll animate that... plus it looks stupid when using alts..... like Ibuki pulling down her non existent mask in all her outfits.. but even more so.

Haven't they revealed 2 characters on the same day before (Birdie and Cammy). How would that be any worse?

Because Ono likes to be at all of these reveals, doesn't he? And ones in New York and the others in Brazil. Plus of one of those characters happened to be Alex, he'd probably overshadow the new character. Compare this to two veterans being revealed at E3 together. This is pretty intuitive, yeah?

Yeah PSX/CC would be the better place overall, although NYCC would be hype as fuck for Alex.

He wasn't at Rashid's reveal IIRC.
 
peoples reaction if any of the super turbo cast is revealed from here to release
"Thats cool, it was pretty obvious they were gonna get it. Time to play this character AGAIN."

A lot of peoples reaction when third strike characters who havent seen any action outside of third strike get announce
"OH MY GOD YES IVE BEEN WANTING TO PLAY THIS CHARACTER FOR THE LONGEST TIME THANK YOU CAPCOM PRAISE ONO"

*obvious hyperbole.

A solution would disabling that intro for alternate costumes, or have all of his alts be stripper outfits. :)
 
oh ok.

so yeah Beez is right this time. No Alex at NYCC

I doubt Alex is gonna show at NYCC too, but who says they need Ono to show off a character? He didn't come on stage at E3 to show off Birdie and Cammy and I don't recall him being on any stage to show R.Mika too. They could easily show off a trailer at NYCC while Ono is showing off Laura or even vice versa.

Gotcha. Yeah especially taking that into consideration I think this is misdirection.

Honestly I was cautiously optimistic that the Siliconera leak was accurate, they have a good track record and I really wanted to see Karin back (Alex and Urien I also think are good additions) but at this point it's hard to imagine they weren't spot on with all four.
 
Hell, since it's the U.S. they could have Combofiend handle the reveal.

They don't even need anyone really. They could just drop the trailer during NYCC (doesn't have to be the 8th) and then do a stream not long after showing the character off in a couple of matches.
 
Ono will go to brazil
Not like everyday a cute overenthusiastic japanese video game director gets to visit south america
Let the guy travel!
 
But then you still have the problem of overshadowing the newcomer.

Who cares? I mean, these reveals aren't blowing up the mainstream gaming press like crazy, and it's not like whatever interest/space is devoted to coverage can't handle two characters at once. The world will handle it just fine, no one's going to get 'overshadowed' to any tangible degree. At worst, they miss out on a chance to prolong the hype drip feed, but there's no shortage of things they can reveal to make up for a double drop.

I'm not saying it's a given that we'll see two reveals, just that it's not necessarily foolish or detrimental--unless you're willing to make get all Socratic about your understanding/assumptions of the coverage/hype/attention-span of gaming media, etc (fucking impossible, basically). Like unless we're going to use pea brained casuals are our convenient hypothetical barometer again, two characters at once is not exactly a deluge as far as gaming infodumps go.
 
This, it doesn't have to be Ono.

Let the man take a break. He got sick last time from being overworked.

Well, they literally just did that with Rashid. (Not that I consider it overshadowing.)

Man, I almost forgot about when Ono worked himself sick. I really thought he was done with Cacpcom then, (It was aroubd the time Seth left, wasn't it?) but I'm glad he stuck around.

I don't think it's overshadowing. I wanted Karin in this game as much as anyone but I still have Rashid fresh in my mind. It helps that he looks like he'll be really awesome too.

I am maining Karin for sure, but Rashid could very well end up being my sub.
