Guess the Garuda dream is dead.

Sounds legit to me.
Most of the leaks so far have been true.

I mean...I don't know why people thought Garuda when they clearly stated it was people that have never been playable in the series.
They obviously count EX as SF. That was really reaching.
If we can get some run/stop action with Zeku, I'll have my new main.

I guess the prospect of having an EX character in a mainline game was just so exciting that it made people jump the gun a bit.
Still, Zeku is an odd choice with which to end the season. Wonder why they decided to close with him rather than Menat, the only character who's 100% brand-new to the SF universe?
I kept telling ya'll that shit was dumb

Zeku is a weird choice considering Guy surpassed his ass years ago.

When it was first announced that S2 would be almost all newcomers, I was disappointed, but Ed turned out to be a total stud, Kolin brought her unique fighting style, Menat has a sweet design, and Zeku has a lot of potential in both the gameplay department (an older ninja), and the hunk department. (A silver fox ninja!)
And Abigail...? Well, as I said, at least Canada will be on the SF map now.
So it has exceeded my (admittedly low) expectations so far, which is nice, and we're only half way through. (With maybe a bonus character at the end?)

I'm still ready for an all vets S3 still though.
Abigail and Zeku feel like really random picks.
Everbody likes old man ninja characters.

After a Canadian rep in the form of Abigail, we really need a Pakistani rep for Street Fighter.
Maybe a guy who's only special is to bad mouth Indians.

either way they'll probably do right by them so I shouldn't complain. Zeku could be real cool as a heavy ninja or something.

No Kolin tho?
He mentioned her too, I just forgot about her.

Thats those season 2 buffs
Wouldn't be surprised. I was hitting people from what felt like pretty far away. I was like yo, what is this...
They added that at the beginning of S2.

Awesome! Been looking for exactly this. I've only seen vids comparing and contrasting with other 2D fighters. Thanks!
Abigail and Zeku are fucking bizarre choices to me and I honestly cannot comprehend why Capcom chose them out of every NPC character they could have picked. Who knows, Capcom might surprise me with them, but until they do I just cannot fathom why Abigail and Zeku deserve slots in this game.

Why is that strange?
here's hoping Abigail, Zeku and Menet are 360/720 grapplers
I hope Sagat is a 360/720 grappler
no need for those tiger shots/uppercats/genocide whatever. just give me Tiger Piledriver and we are good to go

Sagat isn't an s2 character. Why is that strange?
They make sense as gameplay archetypes, I think. A big body grappler and a ninja-style fighter.
Here's hoping fighting games never use 360 movements ever again.
Oh, and also that Abigail got turned into a gorilla by a Bison experiment or something, I think that would actually work well, since his original design is just a dumb looking Andore pallet swap
I read some speculation that SF4 Omega Hugo might've been prototyping Abigail and I think he was all about charge moves in those, you might be in luck. And Gorilla Abigail? Hell yeah.
Just replace those which don't work anymore and give every character 20 trials...
Well there it is.

I just can't get past that there's potentially gonna be this big hench monster guy...called Abigail.
I will accept a Gorilla called Abigail mind you because hell yeah Gorillas!

Indeed. Guiles ain't easy either.
Never played Final FIght?

Nah, everything I know of final fight comes from capcom fighters funnily enough.
Is he actually a notable character there?

He's the penultimate boss of the first game.
I sense that S2 is the season where they experiment with weird/new shit in terms of gameplay, like a counter-based character, a character with 'simplified' inputs and (going by Ono's hints right before S2 dropped) a character who has four buttons instead of six. Unusual things like a charge grappler would fit right along with that.
Isn't that Alex?

And Honda.
This has been done before and it turned out poorly can't remember which game though
Alex is a hybrid grappler/charge/motion character. He has everything but TAP style charging and mash inputs.
