[Multiplatform] Street Fighter 4 - For some reason they're still putting in characters other than Ken

You didn't like R. Mika? You're gonna make her cry.

Actually, to be fair I'm not a huge fan of wrestlers in fighters either (except Mika!), but I have to say this one isn't TOO bad. But it reminds me more than a bit of the one in Virtua Fighter 5, El Blaze. Down to the name, even. But I like the art, it's kinda cool-looking. I guess I'll have to wait for the actual in-game model though, because the artwork has been really cool so far and that hasn't necessarily translated into good-looking 3D models.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone from the design team said that the character is based of El Blaze from VF5. Wouldn't be the first time Capcom did a spin-off of anoter game series character.

Ryo[KoF] (based off) Ryu[SF]
Shen[KoF] (based off) Steve Fox[Tekken]
Dan[SF] (based off) Ryo[KoF]
Leo[Tekken] (possibly based off) Rock Howard[KoF]
etc...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Am I the only one seeing the dash of irony at complaining about wrestlers in fighting games when one of the existing characters in Street Fighter is Zangief, a professional wrestler?

R Mika was more than enough (though I accepted her character since the design and personality kicked ass) but this? Might as well copyright Ultimo Dragon >.>. This should look rather interesting. Three new characters and not another returning character mentioned yet..

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't really see what's so ironic about that. It's a pretty legitimate complaint, as far as I can tell.

Aside from my not being sure how many people actually like Zangief (I was shocked and amazed to find that one of my friends knows somebody to whom Zangief is their favorite character), even if we were to accept that Zangief is okay being a wrestler... Why have two wrestlers? I mean, I know there's Ryu and Ken, but I personally don't like them that much either.

But like I said, it might work out alright. He seems different from Zangief judging by the design, so I don't think he'll be like Zangief 1.1 or whatever. Well, I hope not...

Zangief is a beast. How I enjoy FABing everyone and suplexing them. This new character is cool, though i'd love to see Darun Meister make a comeback, but that's EX. Oh well.

There's a lot of love for the Gief, dont you worry.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

There are various types of wrestlers, so this Luchadore character is more than welcome. Especially when Capcom could do something really awesome and tie Saturday Night Slam Masters into Street Fighter. Don't see it happening, but can't wait to see this dude in action in any case.

Ultima at HVO's Location Test breakdown. EX SPD having Super Armor is insane, looks like the grapplers are getting the tools to be quite scary.

Kamui and some other guys played it. Some random notes from the thread as I'm reading it:

- No new stages or El Fuerte, unfortunately. They seem to be testing out the IC cards. With the cards, you can register a character (only one character per card, unfortunately) with the SFIV website. It keeps track of your win/loss ratio. You can also earn zeni (shades of Forgotten Worlds?). No one knows what zeni is for as yet.

- Game feels slightly clunky at times, but still very positive reports from the guys who played it. Claimed it was a lot of fun, and looks FAR better in person than even in HD vids. It starts off felling like ST, but the more they play it, the less it feels like and more like something else. ST players will have the advantage in this game at first though.

- As expected, fireballs are back as good zoning tools.

- As stated before, Gief is a beast. Even with toned down SPD damage, he WILL grab you. Also, EX SPD has super armour! Can throw Ken out of multi-hit DP! o_O

- Ultra damage seems to vary wildly. Sometimes it does crap damage, other times it does up to 70%. Some think it's proportional to how much life you have left. Speaking of which, revenge bar seems to be proportional to you life. You will get access to Ultra at 50% life every time. Even if ou use it at 50%, it seems to be virtually impossible to build up enough meter for two Ultras in one round.

- With one notable exception (see below), Ultras seem to have so much start up that the only way to land them is by blowing through an attack, or by nailing someone during a move with large recovery.

- Chun Ultra is really dangerous, like 3S SAII dangerous: Goes through FBs and travels half screen. Don't throw FBs at CHun when she has revenge bar.

- Charge partitioning is in. Some guy was doing with Blanka: Focus Attack, cancel into forward dash, c.MK XX Blanka Ball.

- Kamui beasts with C.Viper. Air mix up off of kick, rush punch can go under FBs. She can also combo Focus Attack to Ultra! o_O Her Ultra is apparently hard to hit with otherwise, though, since the initial start up is long and, despite how it looks, is lousy for anti-air.

- Different players getting win streaks with different characters, depending on player ability, actually. Seems like everyone has been doing well except for Guile, and Chun to a lesser extent.

- HOLY SHIT LOL! BLANKA EX BLANKA BALL GOES THROUGH PROJECTILES! SHADES OF CVS2!!!

- In this build at least, you can dash cancel Focus Attacks. Speaking of which, while their start up can absorb hits, the actual strike is vulnerable. Also, if you're hit during a Focus Attack, you take damage, but you get the life you lost back if you're not hit again within a certain time frame. Odd

- You can cancel regular special attacks into Focus Attacks! Ryu can do j.HP, c.MK. Hp Shoryuken XX FA! That won't connect, I don't think, it's more for positioning. Holy shit, that sounds dangerous, since you can cancel the FA into a dash.

- Actually, it seems like you can cancel into FAs, period. But canceling into FA uses super meter like EX moves.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

El Fuerte gameplay. Wow, so damn fast.

NEW CHARACTER: Rufus
Reminds me of Cheng ShinZan from the Fatal Fury series.

FELIPE NO

Damn, son! El fuerte looks fuerte and rápido! That last move looks like it can deliver all kinds of pain, too. Very interesting character (need to lose the fabric belt thingy, though).

Poor Rufus, the internet is ablaze with hate for him. Looking forward to Vega and Bison.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

El Fuerte looks like he plays exactly like Ramon from KOF. Love the Ultimate M.U.S.C.L.E style super though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, don't know really why though. He seems.... unique... at least in the SF world. Anyways, the hate will last till the next new character is revealed. Everyone will start saying how amazing Rufus is and the hate will go to the new character. Everyone seems to like El Fuerte now...

My thoughts exacly as I saw him doing that climbing up the wall. He seems much faster than Ramon though. I hope they'll add the "Viva Mexico" quote from Ramon too.

Enough with the new characters. Can we have Sakura now Capcom?

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm really curious as to how Vega will play. He's always been one of the fastest SF characters, has a very unique and interesting design, and quite the personality too.
Bison is allegedly thin again in SF4, so that's something I want to see as well. I read that his Ultra = PAIN.

This game needs a couple more girls; something fresh, like Elena when SF3 was new.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Another trailer came out for Street Fighter IV.

STREET FIGHTER IV ƒXƒyƒVƒƒƒ‹ƒgƒŒ[ƒ‰[

The trailer isn't the CG stuff with Chun-Li or anything like the first trailer released. It's an anime and it's quite beautiful. Has a fight between Ryu and Akuma and there's a bit of a surprise at the end of the trailer.

Most amazing jew boots

Whaat.. That dude's been alive the whole fuckin time? .

Great video though. The best thing I've ever seen since the other movies. Generations was ok.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I like it but I don't thing so Gouken still alive,this scene from SF4,is that not mean not die after fight with Akuma.away this trailer not complete scene as scenes from SF4.they make cut just for trailer.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Awesome, be interesting to see how they're gonna explain what we saw at the end there. The artwork is reminescent of Ikeno's work. The trailer's music really stood out, sounds like the work of Jamie Christopherson or Hideyuki Fukasawa (probably the latter) as the style is very familiar to that of Shin Onimusha Dawn of Dreams. Love the revival of Ryu's and Ken's theme, man, I really hope they bring back the old character themes for SF4. Actually I also hope Hideyuki Fukasawa provides the soundtrack, love the guy's work.

Is the anime itself a pack in with the game, or is it going to be released on a seperate medium (perhaps a supplement to the game's story)? Can't wait till a soundtrack is released for it.

FELIPE NO

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I am willing to import that shit solely for Ryu taking a dump.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wait why are we getting constipated Ryu instead of Chun-Li? Do they think people will not buy the game because aaaah it's a woman I've obviously never seen.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

America. Fuck Yeah.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

They're both boring covers that would look right at home in the $10 PC budget bin next to Math Blaster Has a Hernia Today and Magic Schoolbus Visits the Smash Repairs. Needs more GIGANTIC Blanka coming to get Chun-Li as she tries to kick but her cock dangles down and distracts Ryu who passes out.

Sold eighty four billion Super Nintendo's, it could do it again!

There should be a hospital drama starring Gouken just so he can say this line every episode.

Has anyone seen any arcade cabinets where they live?

There's only one place in my state but lucky it's on the island I live on. I'm considering going down there to check it out even though I don't want to stand around in a smoky pool hall all night. Should be interesting, however...I haven't been excited about this game but now that I have access to it I kind of really want to tryit.
