Oni wasn't banned. That was a meme for a period of time when Oni was briefly thought to be OP before subsequently being ruled low tier.
I thought it was because Capcom wouldn't let people upload vids of Oni being used on the arcade board before they actually released him. Or something like that.

Yeah it was this. The oni and e.ryu code leak and stuff. The meme was used a lot in spooky stream when henry cen had the AE cabs also
 
Yeah, really early footage of Oni (before he was officially revealed and some cabs unlocked him) made him look broken because of airdash, air demon, etc. so "Oni is banned for being OP" was a long running joke

and 8.95 was definitely Canada Cup, where they ran an ad in the last 30 seconds of an insanely hype match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syhC7JRF3dQ
 
More than likely some misdirection to get hype back but

Matt apparently said that the last returnee in fact may not be from SF2.

So there is that I guess.

If one category is "classic" and the other category is "characters we haven't seen in awhile", I think the best one could hope for is a character that isn't in SF2 but we have seen recently (i.e. SF4). So maybe Ibuki or Dudley?

It's probably just an SF2 character, though, and if it isn't a character FROM SF2 then it's a misdirect and it's Sagat from SF1.
 
After watching the whole video it's def a street fighter 2 character lol. He's not gonna just say yea, it's only limited to SF2! He's trying to keep some intrigue, but yea.

Yeah, after watching the lead up to him saying "not necessarily [a SF2 character]" he heavily implied it's an SF2 character. Saying things like "we all know who the classic characters are", "a lot of people in the know [narrowed it down]", and that he didn't want to give away too many hints leads me to believe it won't be much of a surprise. So Dhalsim, Guile, or Sagat is my guess.
 
How is Juri a staple or classic sf character? Urien? Like foe real guys? Matt through out a lot of words and none of them fit either of these characters
 
Sigh
50% chance it's 'Sim
50% chance it's Gouki/Akuma
25% chance it's one of the other ST characters
1% it's neither of the above.

That's my take on the matter.
 
Person: Is Dhalsim going to be the last character, since traditionally he and Gief appear together, and your wording would make it seem like another SF2 character is coming.

Matt: No, it could totally be another character. I'm not saying it's Dhalsim.

Person: But it's Dhalsim?

Matt: Not necessarily.
 
I swear people are just pulling 'facts' about Dhalsim straight out of their ass in order to justify why they think he's the last returning character.
 
Of course, it'll be from
SF4
