Yeah its Gief, just like the tornado hint was Cod-.....yeah, Gief is far too fucking obvious. I still think this is just a stage reveal.

 

[Rentahamster]

lol

 

[Tizoc]

That's Zangief's belt.

Where are you guys seeing Dhalsim?

Look at the red real carefully; it's horizontal, not vertical.
Consider Gief's and body anatomy; how would a male character bend their crotch to match the way that image looks

 

[LeMaximilian]

Gief is in. SF3 characters are out.

 

[GorillaJu]

It looks like there's actually only one protruding bead on it, not many, like Zangief's belt. Looks more like a wrist band, too.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Its also possible that, since the ropes on this ring are chains, we're looking at one of the turnbuckles.

 

[pizzacat]

illuminati has spoken : (


also I'm thinking it looks too low quality to be a character accessory, has to be a background thing

 

[Stone Ocean]

Now that I think about it, the studs on Gief's belt aren't that far apart and you can only see that one stud on that pic.

Ono playing us like a damn fiddle

I don't know, he made it super-obvious it was Mika.

Not through a picture teaser.

 

[MagnesD3]

I don't know, he made it super-obvious it was Mika.

Dude it's gonna be geif and yet again we have another Street Fighter 2 game with guest characters. All hail the muh childhood warriors, they always get what they desire.

 

[Platy]

There's too much detail in the model for that to be a background character IMO

I hope it's not Gief and it's just Ono baiting us.

Totaly. That must be like the Emblem for Zangief's Ring for Mixed Fights in russia, where Laura will fight for the championship of MMA

 

[ThirtyPlus]

Max with the troll......I see you dog.

 

[Tizoc]

Gief with a redesigned costume that has wrestling shorts instead of a speedo.

He could still be like a background cameo but I'm convinced that's Gief.

Like you were convinced Karin wasn't in the game :V

What if it is one of Mika's alt. outfits? What if during the Mexico event we get a trailer showing off the outfits and game modes?

 

[delSai]

Oh i get it, Gief IS IN, but he's a stage finisher like the bus or ramen thingie in the street stage. You win on the one side of the arena, Zangief shows up and piledrives you into the ground!

Yeah. That has to be it.

 

[Scotia]

Its also possible that, since the ropes on this ring are chains, we're looking at one of the turnbuckles.

That's what I'm thinking

 

[Septimus Prime]

Maybe...maybe Alex wrestled Zangief for his championship belt between SF4 and SF5?

 

[KingBroly]

The belt looks like it's sitting on a table...or something. It doesn't look like it's around Zangief's waist.

 

[Tizoc]

What if it's a wrestling championship belt =O

 

[Lulubop]

It's gief! Just like that time it was Cody, Dudley and Blanka right?

 

[Stone Ocean]

Like you were convinced Karin wasn't in the game :V

Alex and Urien will never make it. Never make it never ever make it never. Don't you see it they can't make it?

 

[DrArchon]

I already thought the stage reminded me of Gief's SF2 stage, but the belt leaves no doubt in my mind.

Hopefully Alex will be on the short list for DLC characters.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Not through a picture teaser.

Not sure if that distinction really means anything, though. Probably doesn't.

If this is just a stage reveal, the question becomes which of the two new characters left are probably gonna have claim to it? I dont think anyone expected either Zen or Laura to have an underground fight club as their setting.

 

[KingBroly]

Mika v. ??? for the Championship

 

[Stone Ocean]

I mean, if you look at Mika's picture teaser it was just a flying mic. Without Ono's wish context it was vague as fuck.

 

[Tizoc]

Mika v. ??? for the Championship

Alex duh.

Mika already fought Gief in SFA3. Time to take on the next chump!

 

[Horseress]

That looks like the belt, and maybe he's piledriving someone, and the thing on the bottom right is his thigh

 

[Tizoc]

That looks like the belt, and maybe he's piledriving someone, and the thing on the bottom right is his thigh

But that would mean Gief swapped his speedo for shorts!

 

[KingBroly]

That looks like the belt, and maybe he's piledriving someone, and the thing on the bottom right is his thigh

That'd mean, given the previous tease, that he's piledriving Mika

 

[Scotia]

It's not Zangief. It's like some of you have never seen Ono tease before.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I mean, if you look at Mika's picture teaser it was just a flying mic. Without Ono's wish context it was vague as fuck.

But he did provide context. No point in pretending he didn't. And if he made one character reveal super-obvious (he did) it makes it harder to say he wouldn't do it again, and makes it impossible to say he's never done it.

Because he did. About a month ago.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

R.Mika stage with Zangief in the background.

 

[GorillaJu]

If they swapped his speedo for shorts I will be infuriated at Capcom for de-sexualizing male characters when they have disgraceful abominations like Cammy, Chun Li and Mika

Spoiler

Kappa

 

[Remapped88]

Yeahhhhh......it's the Gief. Pack it up Alex/Urien......missed the launch, gotta wait for the DLC train I guess. Really wanted my 3S main Alex to be at launch....

Still though, love Zangief but I just hope they added some cool new moves to show and also an updated appearance. Hope they make the wrestling ring stage look crazy and hype!

 

[Horseress]

But that would mean Gief swapped his speedo for shorts!

I would love to see a redesigned Gief, but it would have to be good, like REALLY good, or else pre-order canceled and all that

 

[pizzacat]

gief is already in the game, his transition from gief to mecha gief failed, his soul is now inside r. mikas body

 

[Lulubop]

[GorillaJu]

If it is Gief, Beezlebuff or whatever his name is is gonna be gagging himself in the shower to stop the screaming that he can't be here to gloat.

 

[Producer]

The cycle never ends

 

[vulva]

Hmm

 

[Stone Ocean]

The cycle never ends

Roster threads aren't fun without some despair.

 

[enzo_gt]

Definitely a Juri redesign, it only makes sense.

 

[denshuu]

That doesn't answer the question. Where are you seeing Dhalsim? It's kind of a big leap to go from "Gief's not wearing the belt" to "It's a skinny Indian dude who doesn't wear anything that even remotely looks like that."

 

[Gunslinger]

Man imagine if that beezlebufo guy was not banned.....would have loved to see his reaction right now hahaha.

 

[Tizoc]

Did I say dhalsim? Well in his case it would be his new wrist band, though I doubt he'd go for the bling bling

 

[paolo11]

Zangief hmmm....

Guile has to be there. I mean, I really hope they add Guile.

 

[Gunslinger]

Zangief hmmm....

Guile has to be there. I mean, I really hope they add Guile.

Me too man me too.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Guile is like the easiest DLC character ever.

 

[XAMOEL_ART]

Gief is in. SF3 characters are out.

I hope not, SF3 characters are the best in the series IMHO.

 

[Shadoken]

Looks like am going to be switching on to the Alex/Urien train now.

If Ono teases something that obviously gief , then he is most likely he not in the game.

Just like how the tornado teases deconfirmed Cody and the Corkscrew cross lookalike deconfirmed Dudley.

 

[Neoxon]

Yeah, it's Zangief. Just like how the wind attack was Cody & how Ryu pushed to the wall was Dudley.

Ono doesn't tease characters already in SFIV.

 

[denshuu]

Did I say dhalsim?

You know the post you responded to was a question asking "Where are you guys seeing Dhalsim?" right? Did you respond to the wrong post?
