Street Fighter 4 is my first fighter (please don't punch me) but I always thought Alex and Q looked like they would be fun to play.

To give you an idea.. Q plays like a slower and worse Balrog.

Q, Alex, Elena, Urien. Any combination of those characters, or all of them, would be nice. After that, Karin.


And waaaaaaaaaaaay at the end of the list after characters like Lee and Poison, we have Rainbow Mika.

Karin please. I really want to :3.

Agreed, she is tons of fun to use.

Edit: Also those of you who want Urien in do know that it would by highly unlikely for Capcom to give him his unblockable Reflector setups in this game? From what I have heard thats pretty much all that char has *though yeah barely tried or played 3S*.

i don't think they'd take out shoulder rush->aegis reflector setup whatsoever as it'd probably be his super...c.fp launcher->shoulder rush->super...soooooo satisfying...think of aegis like you'd think of yoga catastrophe without a teleport *shrug*

That new character select screen confirms the console version. The only reason they would need to shrink the character portraits would be to fit non-widescreen televisions, and I'm pretty sure those don't come in the arcade cabinets.

Except that he has a command throw, super-cancelable dash punches, a juggle super and EX wallbounce combos. Plus he's so tall you can't really cross him up in the corner. Oh yeah, and the whole defense multiplier thing that makes him completely different than Balrog.

Karin and Rolento were supposed to be a packaged deal. They are the ying and yang. Not Yang and Yun. Those twins can rot in hell. No Rolento, then there must be no Karin. Screw you Ono. Screw you.

Yes, I am bitter.

That makes no sense. There is nothing relating Karin and Rolento lol. Being over-bitter robs people of their sense of reason I guess.

I will agree with you that Yun and Yang can rot though.

Does it really matter what the AE characters are? Assuming that it even comes to consoles, everyone online will still play Ryu/Ken/Akuma/Bison, with the odd splattering of the other more popular mid-tier characters showing up rarely, and tournament players will all flock to the Higher tier characters to have a better chance of winning outside of a few specialist players rarely place in the top 3 in any major tournaments.

You may also try to pick up a new character, but will most likely give up upon finding they have been completely destroyed in the transition to the Street Fighter 4 engine, or perhaps Capcom has decided to remove your characters best combos and links in favour of much shittier ones.

Meanwhile, all the annoying as shit characters that assholes (A few people disregarded, of course) love to pick to annoy the hell out of people such as Blanka and Vega will be left completely unchanged, if not buffed.

I have the right to be salty as hell. My favourite Street Fighter character has been and always will be Makoto.

- Instead of arguing about specifics Q is generally a slow character with bad normals and parry reliant in 3S to get in to do damage, so unless they give him crazy mixup and easy way through zoning (Dudley) he'll have similar problems to Makoto.

- Defense multiplier is game specific.. taunts don't do anything in sf4 unless they do something like make it his super or power up move.. (Makoto/Hakan).

Checking out old Karin vids
Japan vs USA 2000 SFA3 - JOE (V-Karin) vs. Alex Valle (V-Akuma)
Japan vs USA 2000 SFA3 - JOE (V-Karin) vs. John Choi (V-Sakura)
SBO3 CFJ - Mago (Karin) vs Daigo (Urien)

Also I noticed after Valle(Ryu) vs Daigo(Akuma) world champs at A3, in later vids Daigo is playing Ryu and Valle Akuma.

my god.. the walk speed in those games compared to SF4 :lol

Supposedly, Daigo switched to Ryu after playing against Valle's. Valle probably switched to Akuma because... Akuma's just better and severely dominated the game for a while.

Daigo “The Beast” Umehara OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED for SCR

Who would have seen this coming!? This is totally out of left field =P. Well It’s finally official. Daigo Umehara, aka “The Beast”, of Team MadCatz and a man who needs no introduction, is finally confirmed to participate in Southern California Regionals. This brings the tally now up to 3 well known top players from Japan, including Sakonoko and Tokido, confirmed to attend. Mark “MarkMan” Julio of MadCatz had this to say:

"We are pleased to work closely with Level|Up & Tournament Legacy to support the game community at SoCal Regionals as the official arcade stick of the event. Team Mad Catz’s Daigo Umehara’s participation, along with all the talent from around the world, show just how great of an event SoCal Regionals will be!"

Therein would be the troll, at least i hope. he says a lot of ####. Elena & Q would be godlike.
Or something out of left field like Poison and Eagle.

Poison and Eagle would be a dream come true. The only character I want more than them is Charlie.

Lately I'm all about Eagle though. I think he would be crazy slick.

I think they should reinvent all SF1 characters and old Final fight characters and add them in.


birdie.jpg
eagle.jpg

Birdie and Eagle they already have a base to work off of, with CvS2 and Street Fighter Alpha

geki.jpg

Geki I guess was reworked into Vega, but if they wanted to add a male Ninja equivalent to Ibuki (Sorry Guy, you suck!) they already have a good base to work off of

joe.jpg

Joe could be a good addition. He doesn't quite look like any other person in the cast.

retsu.jpg

Retsu could be a non-shoto Karate master. He looks infinitely more bad ass than Gouken

lee.jpg

Lee looks different enough from the rest of the cast for me to say that he has honestly not influenced another character from SF2-onwards

Yeah, but you have an excuse.

Then just give EX Dash Low armor or fireball invincibility since it has relatively little use as it is.

So game specific, except that there's already a precedent for these types of moves in SSF4?
