A bunch of dud games lol. Where was he in USF4? The billboard that you can only see by by hacking the game?

Either way he'll be in SFV I'm sure, but as DLC.

EDIT: Or as background decoration lol

SFxT is not a dud game, unless SFA3 is a dud game. SFxT outsold it. Yet, everyone always describes A3 as a success.

Also, the performance of the games is irrelevant to whether Capcom "wants people to forget about Alex". They put him in the game before they could possibly know how well the games would sell.

 

[delSai]

Once Alex is playable, he will be replaced by Ken if he's not played i bet

 

[Tizoc]

So where exactly are the pics of this NYC stage?
I want to see the receipts.

Also capcom should just reveal 'Sim already; Ono's trolling can only go so far.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Yun
Yang
Balrog
Bison
Vega
Hugo

All background characters in SF4, all playable eventually. Alex being a background character doesn't decrease his chances for DLC. If anything it helps strengthen them.

The twins weren't background characters in SF4 but in SFxT. By then they were already in SF4

Dictator Boxer and Claw were in SF4 from the start regardless of their airfield cameo.

 

[PadWarrior]

Panel isn't until Saturday... looks like Matt Dhalgren is on the floor though

Thanks!

 

[Scotia]

Isn't R.Mika a background character in Zangief's stage though? One of the Gief teases had her in the background fighting someone.

It was just a special angle.

 

[PadWarrior]

Heh what if this is an attempt to throw us off and Alex is revealed playable Saturday

 

[delSai]

That would be so Ono

Spoiler

Wont happen. The dream is dead. Please wait for DLC.

This is an honest question and I'm not trying to start shit... do people actually think "Dictator," "Boxer" and "Claw" are cool names? Really? I know it's the OG names, but it's like calling Ryu "Fist" and Guile "Soldier."

Correct.

who said capcom wants people to forget about alex?

 

[Mik317]

So now watch Urien appear in the background of the second part of the waterfall stage.

Leak technically redeemed

People say this so theres no confusion since their names are different among various regions.

I hate Capcom...

Holy shit, you need to get over it already

 

[The Lone Dragon]

who said capcom wants people to forget about alex?

The person I was originally responding to.

 

[ShinMaruku]

You guys do know with Nicali Alex's niche has been filled right?

 

[delSai]

who said capcom wants people to forget about alex?

I did. And i was joking.

No it's because there was name confusion due to localization.

 

[MagnesD3]

Necalli doesn't have a brooklyn accent :V
That's like saying Rashid fills Urien's niche.

 

[vulva]

Whiny 3s fans

I hate Capcom...

Then stop fucking posting in threads about their games.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Yes they do.

 

[Scotia]

When I play with Hugo on that stage in Ultra he's gone.

 

[Tizoc]

Unless Alex is that dude in the brown shirt, I need more footage of that stage to see his cameo lol.

 

[Dremark]

SFxT is not a dud game, unless SFA3 is a dud game. SFxT outsold it. Yet, everyone always describes A3 as a success.

SFxT hit bargin bins quickly. Alpha 3 was a greatest hits title on PlayStation. The Alpha 3 number also only counted 1 platform it was released on (Ignoring the Saturn, DC and late PSP release), SFxT's numbers counted all 4 platforms IIRC.

 

[ShinMaruku]

That's like saying Rashid fills Urien's niche.

That's exactly what I'm saying.
Brooklyn is buns anyway. South Side Jamaica Queens is where it's crazy.

 

[CountBlack]

rip alex

Ahhhh that makes a ton of sense. Thanks (to BadWolf too).

 

[Mik317]

New York stay catching ls

 

[delSai]

When I play with Hugo on that stage in Ultra he's gone.

You are right, he's replaced by some other dude.

 

[pizzacat]

I'm pretty sure there's a trash can in one of the stages, yet mika got in so niches don't have to be filled exactly

 

[ShinMaruku]

Everyday is a victory with no DJ or Alex. Only dampened by no Ibuki.

 

[Dremark]

The twins weren't background characters in SF4 but in SFxT. By then they were already in SF4

Dictator Boxer and Claw were in SF4 from the start regardless of their airfield cameo.

I think one of the very few times it's safe to call them Vega, M. Bison and Balrog in this case without risking confusion.

 

[ElFly]

Hugo is a Final Fight character. Same as Poison.

 

[Neoxon]

Found this little peak at the Stage.

https://twitter.com/Glacier928/status/652143658636959744

Huh, neat.

Two characters left right?

One classic character, one newcomer (Zen)

 

[delSai]

Everyday is a victory with no DJ or Alex. Only dampened by no Ibuki.

No Ibuki is the real victory

 

[sixteen-bit]

One classic character, one newcomer (Zen)

Will Zen be the boss character?

 

[vulva]

Huh, neat.


One classic character, one newcomer (Zen)

Don't fight it, we all know it's sim as well. Just accept your fate.

 

[MagnesD3]

Whiny 3s fans


Then stop fucking posting in threads about their games.

Sorry I want to enjoy their games yet they are amazing at screwing that up.

 

[Scotia]

I'm certain we're getting Guile on Saturday.

 

[Tizoc]

Funny you mention DJ as the game could go with an extra character whose skin is darker,a nd I think DJ would be nice to have in this game

 

[pizzacat]

If he plays like he does in omega mode

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

"I didn't get the character I wanted" =/= Capcom screwing up

 

[PadWarrior]

As long as he still has his pearly white teeth lol

 

[ShogunDarius]

Will Zen be the boss character?

well each mainline game had a new character as the boss so highly likely

 

[ShinMaruku]

No Ibuki is the real victory

Oh she'll be DLC. Not Alex though.

 

[MagnesD3]

"I didn't get the character I wanted" =/= Capcom screwing up

I don't even really want Alex I just want at least somebody from 3s preferably one I want to main and yes nobody to main does screw up a fighter to me.

 

[vulva]

Sorry I want to enjoy their games yet they are amazing at screwing that up.

Then play 3s and shut up already. If the only way you'd want to play the game is with 3s characters, then play the game that already exists. You even have options to play it online with ps3/360 versions and fightcade. Stop whining and just play the fucking game since it's already out. If having two token characters that you don't even know if you'd like to play as since it's a different game and different engine is the only way you'd enjoy their game then I don't know what to tell you.

 

[notworksafe]

mika didn't show up in a game for almost 20 years and i never complained like this, good lord some folks

 

[Mik317]

"I didn't get the character I wanted" =/= Capcom screwing up

Pretty much.

I pretty much got blown out in terms of characters I wanted outside of Ken... Still super hype. Who knows I might main someone like Vega of all people...
