Ah yes the biggest trap of all was the trap in which there was no trap.
The old reverse trap. Unless he anticipates that and fired the double reverse trap. In which case he trolled you too!

In this scenario aren't you the opponent? In which case you have picked up the pattern.
All I'm saying is nothing is certain. Calm down amigo

Its happened more than three times though. Remember Ono also pretty much teased Blanka for BGS.
His words when the Brazil stage was revealed were.
" I will be revealing a character at BGS , and THAT MEANS * puts up blanka figure to the camera and hes dressed up as Blanka * "

Because the leaked traditional arab name matched with the leaked middle eastern character, with Capcom right afterwards going on record saying how they cooperated with middle eastern devs to make sure Rashid appealed to them. Sure it's still unconfirmed information, but I think it's a bit silly at this point to think Capcom will make a brazillian character with an indian sounding name and an indian character with a brazillian sounding name when they are putting effort on making sure these characters actually represent their countries instead of their stereotypes.

Thats the problem .. IT FKING DOESNT.
Ono will again tease sim or maybe Ibuki,Makoto for PSX and people will hop on to it.
There are a number of people who are taking the bait.

I think one of the more interesting aspects of this speculation train has been the idea that "Laura" is inherently a Brazilian-sounding name.
Like, that particular chunk of the narrative stuck early and stuck hard, and I'm still not sure why. I think someone dug up a stat somewhere that says there are girls in Brazil named Laura, so I guess that was enough? I dunno.
I'm also not sure how "Zen" is an Indian sounding name, either. In fact, doing a quick google search, it appears the region in which most people are named "Zen" is Japan.
That all said: I don't see the point in people consistently trying to come down off the top rope with the elbow flaming as a means to determine a person's general intellect via the way they take the tiny scraps of evidence we have and enter the guessing game that is this goofy thread.
I love how all your posts indicate that theres some set of rules to this. Ono does this and Ono doesn't do this. Theres no great riddle to solve here, that only you can decipher based on 'facts' I'm sorry to burst your bubble.
Gief and Sim are rumoured. Stage looks like a wrestling ring. Looks like Giefs belt. It's probably Gief.

They're going to keep teasing DLC characters for the entire life of the game.
Only the dead will know peace from this suffering.
What if it's zee

I live in Brazil and I can attest that Laura is a common as fuck name.

I live in America, and there's a ton of Lauras here, and always has been. Pretty sure there's a fair amount in say, Canada. Or the UK. Or Spain, even.
So again, I'm not sure that "Laura" is a name that you can particularly tie to any specific region super-tightly, much less Brazil.
Confirmation Bias is very much in play here, basically, and always has been. It's probably the source of most of the contention, honestly.
There were no rumors from inside sources, just guesses.

Or you could just answer me because as far as I'm aware of, Alex and Urien are the ones rumored right now. If theres a rumor going around that states Gief and Sim are in, I would like to know.
Those werent rumors though. Just people speculating they might be in because they fill character archetypes that arent in the game yet. Unless you mean people like Valle tweeting that he thinks they are in.

Where is Gief and Sim rumored? In a random twitch chat? So far siliconera's leak and Ken Bogart are on point. Why would we stop believing now? If they reveal Gief and the list is not 100% anymore, we can talk.
They weren't, it was just speculation.
Zen = the reintroduction of Dimps' main character from The Rumble Fish 1 and 2 (who's name is also Zen) brought into the SF world.
Shit would be hilarious.
yikes

I hope it's actually Zangief. Always been one of my mains in every game he's been in (that I've played). Still, we'll just have to wait and see. Siliconera said Alex and Urien would be in and their sources are usually spot on.
I think Gief and Sim were a part of that one leaked list that came out around the same time as the Silliconera leaks but had too many characters and was disproven pretty quickly. That was apparently enough to plant the idea of Gief and Sim in people's heads though.
That's what pisses me off the most about people who act like Gief/Sim are in. There was no rumour, no source, nothing. Gief and Sim have never been mentioned anywhere other than in this thread.
Yes, this isn't some big riddle. Anyone with common sense can clearly see that there's a pattern in terms of who Ono teases. And as stated earlier, Zangief & Dhalsim were never rumored, just speculated.

Hell, I wouldn't discount this, honestly.
This thread sure got infested with a bunch of posters real full and sure of themselves.
It is POSSIBLE that it's Gief, but it's also just as likely Ono's messing with us considering it doesn't look exactly like Gief and Ono has been known to mess with and subvert our expectations. Because of this no one in here should be 100% sure of a goddamn thing and should drop all this pretension.

I don't think that fake leak had anything to do with it. It was mainly Matt Dahlgren's "classic characters" comments & the fact that Zangief & Dhalsim cover 2 missing archetypes (even though Rainbow Mika kinda fills our grappler quota) that made people speculate. Said speculation by Alex Valle was later misinterpreted as a rumor by some of the guys here on GAF.

Its Street Fighter , Nobody in India is called Dhalsim either. Kn bogard leak said Zen is from South Asia.
It could be a sort of temporary name for him too.

It's a latin name, you can at least tie it to latin-originated regions.
But I guess you have a point. I just can't wrap my head around a character named Zen that has a stage in a favela. That would be stupid. Like "Sean Matsuda" stupid. Not hating on Sean but he represents Brazil as much as Blanka does.

A simple google search turned up a list from a thread thats 3 months old that names Karin R. Mika and Rashid by name on gamespot of all places....
That list had too many characters. And we already knew about the 3 characters you mentioned thanks to Siliconera & Ken Bogard, so they aren't exactly feathers in that rumor's cap.

Come on mang the name ain't that stupid, sounds common to me, I mean we got Kazuhira Miller.
Then you got Roberto Miura.
But Sean's paternal grandfather is Japanese, making it reasonable for him to have a Japanese surname.

And Zangief isn't really a Russian name either, I know. But now we're sorta muddying up our arguments regarding Capcom wanting to get away from really blatant stereotyping with this game (and that does seems to be the case). It's hard to argue that point while pointing to stuff like Zangief/Dhalsim's names as proof that Zen is probably an Indian guy.
Also, I'm fairly certain Ken Bogard never linked any of the names he revealed to any region or country at all, unless he spoke out about it after his initial reveal, but I don't think he did, did he? If I'm wrong, I apologize, but so far as I remember, his initial reveal featured names, and countries, but he never matched the two together. Fans speculating did that.
I'm not saying it's impossible (or even improbable) That Laura could be the new Brazilian character and Zen could be the new Indian character. I'm just saying it's also possible (and maybe even plausible) that they're not. Hell, we still don't actually know what sex Zen is. Zen could be a woman for all we know.
Fake, missing the 2nd unrevealed newbie (Laura) Has 3 returnees, only room for two.
Interracial names are stupid now? How exactly doesn't he represents Brazil? Too diverse? The fuck?
What's your problem with it then?
