yea capcom cup, and beta 3 info there too.
The recent comments by Capcom kinda throw the Siliconera leak into question. But at the very least, their first batch of info is looking to be legit. The only sure-deal is Ken Bogard's leak.

yeah, the only real wrench in that is the "characters you'd expect to see" comment, which would make Alex and Urien slightly less likely, but I think ultimately that picture of the character roster split up into the different colors is going to end up being 8 street fighter numbered series characters, 4 street fighter alpha characters, 4 new characters, which would allow for Alex and Urien in the green section
Yeah I'm expecting that.
Bogard was wrong about Rashid and Necalli. He claimed the three new characters were named Laura, Zen and Rachid. Since there are only 4 new characters he's gotten at least one wrong and can no longer be trusted.

wha? He misspelled a name and mentioned 4 new characters despite only giving three names. Ken Bogard's leak was 100% correct

Sorry, I thought it would be obvious I was joking.

It's okay, she can come too.
Still blonde, do not want.

Haha oh okay, I thought that may have been the case, but you can never be too sure here...
Oh, okay then.

Now for TGS and for the Queen of Fighters to make her return!
I have never played the SF game she was in, so can somebody enlighten me what's so special about Karin?
She looks like the most boring design imaginable to me.
Yeah, Bogard's leak is absolutely solid and it happened last year, too.

Ojousama, that's all you need to know.
All good I get that a decent amount. Check the Senran Kagura 2 thread for a good example. I didn't even tell them I was kidding because I thought it was funnier that way.

Unique play style being a mixup/follow up rekka character
Ojousama trope
She's also kinda "Makoto before Makoto" being a serious martial artist that just punches and kicks people

I asked this too!
From what I've gathered it's a mix of personality and her play style. Unlike most SF female characters, Karin is sort of like Mika in that she just beats the shit out of you, and has a rekka move set in the vein of Fei Long, but she's less boring than Fei if that makes sense. I don't want her though so I could be wrong! And they've managed to make every character super interesting (except Cammy) for me so who knows what they'll do.
She's the spoiled rich girl archetype subverted enough that she's actually really likable and has a really fun moveset.

Her theme song. Other than that she has Fei Long's rekkas

I don't know how subverted she is. Seems like a pretty atypical example of the archetype.
She is a cool character though. I'm interested to see how she is represented in V.
The archetype is usually antagonistic and petty, but she has a rather friendly rivalry with Sakura. Her relationship with Mika was pretty far off from how you'd expect it to play out too from what I recall about it.
Karin's coolness (from a fighting perspective) comes from her Rekkas, she is not like Fei Long or Poison who have 3 straight hits, in Karin's case, after the first hit, you have a variety of options: low kick, another Rekka, anti-air, a combo finisher or a counter. Plus she has counters like Gouken but less sucky (at least in A3). And a comand throw.
Plus she laugs like this

I've always thought that what was cool about Karin personality-wise is that despite absolutely being an ojou character she's much less hot-headed than similar characters and actually pretty chill most of the time (at least in Alpha 3, haven't played NxC or read any of the comics she appears in. I've gotten the impression that she's much more antagonistic in some side material, lol).
But really my favorite thing is just that her animations are really good. She looks so smug during moves like her counter and stuff like her throws look methodical and calculated. They have a lot of personality and I'd love to see how those carry over to SF5.

I'm not saying that it could happens but I'm trying to clear up the confusion with people taking one translator's words as gospel. I think that those three countries were assumed by translator but I could be wrong.
I'm looking forward to see more information about Rashid.
Also other quote from same guy,
There is other translation for information by someone else.
So I could see how they would assumed those locations with the information they had: Latin America = Brazil, South Asia = India, Africa = Africa! Also it's easy to assign the names to the countries.

That tornado reminded me of Urien's Aegis Reflector
Mmmh I like him. He looks cool, and seems to have just the right small amount of goofiness at the same time, which is as SF should be in my book. Will definitely give him a try.

This type of character is just popular with people. That's why a bunch of people want her even though they never played Alpha 3. She was Lili before Lili was created in Tekken. And Lili is so popular, she became one of the faces of the Tekken franchise and they also put her in Digimon.
you really need to stop with these assumptions as facts.

It is a fact. Just because it doesn't apply to you doesn't mean it doesn't apply to everyone.
She hasn't been in a Street Fighter game in awhile. That's basically it.
Exactly. From the archetype you'd expect her rivalry with Sakura to be petty and vengeful, but actually she wants to beat her to uphold her family honor and is more friendly toward her than anything.
The rivalry is closer to Ken and Ryu's than Lili and Asuka's.

relative to what? 3rd strike? Compared to how popular street fighter is now?
If you're a college student right now, you were conceived the year Alpha 3 came out.
