[FACE]

Yogaaaa

 

[Jawmuncher]

Wonder if we'll get two characters. We did at E3, or maybe another tease like we had with earlier reveals. I hope dhalsim has a redesign, nothing major but something fresh.

 

[Nachtmaer]

Here we go again.

 

[Moaradin]

Is that a new stage?

 

[Beelzebufo]

Well. He tweeted that he's rehearsing for Sony show so there is something that they could announce today.

And welcome back, Beelzebufo.

Thanks! Also, I was wrong. It's Sim!

 

[Spman2099]

I don't buy it. It isn't Dhalsim.

Is that a new stage?

Looks like Karen's stage.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Are the fibers of flame too far apart?

 

[Troubled Bat]

Can't wait to see that new character!!

 

[Beelzebufo]

Guys everyone should be excited. Saying "Yoga" alone makes Dhalsim a compelling addition.

 

[Stone Ocean]

That's one big ass flame. Now that I've accepted the inevitable, I'm really curious to see how Sim will look/work in this game

 

[LowParry]

Yoga flaaaaame!

 

[Spman2099]

Ono lies. He knows what he is doing. It is all a deception.

I won't lie, I dig Dhalsim's voice.

Holy crap they actually sent him the blanka toy XD
Also what's that on Chun?

 

[mnz]

Also what's that on Chun?

Fire.

 

[Tizoc]

Fire.

I meant atop head sorry, what is that face?

 

[Horseress]

Sim two days from now?

 

[I-hate-u]

Sim two days from now?

Today, son.

 

[Tizoc]

Sim two days from now?

Parsis Game Week is in like 6 hours time

 

[Beelzebufo]

I see what you mean, but I think it's just fire

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

At least the fire effects will look cool.

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

Well, there it is. I'm excited to see how a pure zoner is going to function in this game, but I at least hope they changed Dhalsim's look a bit. I never cared for his visual design.

 

[Horseress]

Today, son.

oh shit

 

[Kysuke]

I see what you mean, but I think it's just fire

It's literally an evil face floating above her head

 

[Horseress]

It's blanka with a new fire attack

The ultimate troll

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

His paper bag with holes in it now has the ass cut out as well. "Hot" Dhalsim.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Dhalsim is too obvious

It's clearly Sagat

 

[mdsfx]

Evil Ken...

 

[Kouichi]

Oh sweet, I can't wait to see Sim in action.

 

[Karsticles]

Yes. I hope he gets the Bison and Vega treatment.

 

[Horseress]

Old man Sim would be sick

 

[Zerojul]

It looks too much like Sim to be Sim

Spoiler

yet it is Sim

.

 

[rocK`]

Yes. I hope he gets the Bison and Vega treatment.

Make him close to his mvc2 version

Also, normal/sf4 sim looks to be going against their design principles.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Holy crap they actually sent him the blanka toy XD

Naw, he probably took the picture few days ago.

 

[Geminosity]

As a French guy I can say all those names are straight-up ridiculous and, having a character named like this would be hilarious
"Fanny" is a somewhat common name though.

Haha yeah, I thought they sounded a bit fancy but not being from france myself I wasn't sure XD

It's interesting to remember how the leak happened, he used an indirect way to do so, he named Pokemons to hint at the characters names and origins. So if he knew about an 'indian' character, and didnt have his name, he needed to come up with one. And maybe he went for the first thing he had in mind when he though about India.

Acronyms are composed of consonants, or vowels if none available, and sf5 filenames seems to respect this rule.
Which means if TUT and FAN are acronyms, and since they contains vowels, the missing letters are necessarily vowels too and not consonants. So it cant be names with more than the 2 consonants we got.
So, for 'FAN', maybe Fani, Fanie? Or whatever strange name Capcom usually imagine.

whelp, considering the yoga fire hint picture I guess it's not a french character so whatever it's short for it's probably not a french name

edit: there's always the possibility that 'FAN' is actually just their entire name too ^.^;

 

[Karsticles]

FAN could stand for Fanatic, too, given that this is the rise of the Illuminati.

 

[Tizoc]

I see what you mean, but I think it's just fire

No really what is that face supposed to be?
Did 'Sim get some slick new Deity power or something?
When he yoga fires the deity's face appears when he attacks?

Naw, he probably took the picture few days ago.

Do not underplay the importance of the Blanka toy!

 

[Troubled Bat]

It's just the flame effect.

 

[joffocakes]

I absolutely cannot see a face in that smoke. Could someone outline it?

Its time

 

[Woody Invincible]

At this point, I'd love to play as Dhalsim. Watching Arturo play well with him in IV is like poetry in motion.

 

[Zombegoast]

Please don't let it be Dhalsim. Besides TS Sabin and Filipino Champ, who plays this character?

 

[Karsticles]

You could say that about most characters.

How many noteworthy people main Bison?
Cammy?
Ken?
Vega?
Chun-li?

Better clear them all out.

Having even two major players in the field main a character is a big deal. Aside from tier whore picks like Yun, E. Ryu, and Elena, you won't find many characters with more than two noteworthy mains.

Even Ryu, when he was worth using, had maybe 3-4 people using him at high level, and he is the game's most iconic character.

 

[SimSimIV]

Nooooo! I mean, I hope Sim, and a LOT of stuff points to Sim, but... It's Ono! He never makes it that easy It looks too much like Sim, and therefore I am scared Wish it was more subtle! Reminds me too much of criminal upper, Corkscrew Blow and the spoiled Blanka electricity troll.. God no, please be Sim!

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

Nooooo! I meam, I hope Sim, and a LOT of stuff points to Sim, but... It's Ono! He never makes it that easy It looks too much lile Sim, and therefore I am scared Wish it was more subtle! Reminds me too much of criminal upper, Corkscrew Blow and the spoiled Blanka electricity troll.. God no, please be Sim!

Remember Zangief's tease? I don't think Ono minds being a little obvious now and then.

Take heart. Zangief was clear as day from his pictures. No one else on the expected list uses fire.

Don't fret my friend, our time will come. Even if it's not today

Zen tho. And Ono's in France. They have been announcing characters on their home country, maybe Zen is French?

Still think it's Sim tho
