Pureauthor · (01-09-2008, 06:48 AM)

I... I don't know what to say.

chaoticprout · (01-09-2008, 06:49 AM)

Weiiiiiiiird looking chick.

PepsimanVsJoe · (01-09-2008, 06:49 AM)

Hey it's Vanessa from KoF!

God she's in dire need of a haircut.

Vyse The Legend · (01-09-2008, 06:49 AM)

neo delivers, as usual. Good job, sir.

The new girl looks... odd.

Little Green Yoda · (01-09-2008, 06:50 AM)

Maybe this will put the "omg SF2 rehash/fanservice" people at ease? Now we just need a translation of what said...

Oh, yeah. Thanks for the scans!

Kintaro · (01-09-2008, 06:50 AM)

Oh snap.

Wait...looks like Capcom's spin on KOF's Vanessa.

Mistouze · (01-09-2008, 06:50 AM)

I get a Vice/Mature feel from the new character.

Sho_Nuff82 · (01-09-2008, 06:50 AM)

She (he?) looks kind of KoF-ish.

Gunloc · (01-09-2008, 06:50 AM)

Not so keen on the hair, (perhaps it looks better from the side) but overall not bad.

abstract alien · (01-09-2008, 06:50 AM)

oh my...

Mr. Pointy · (01-09-2008, 06:51 AM)

She's a bit SNK-like. Not bad though.

abacab driver · (01-09-2008, 06:51 AM)

Worse and worse.. :(

ThatCrazyGuy · (01-09-2008, 06:51 AM)

Mohawk and boobs. sweet.

evolution · 06:57 AM

Reminds me of a fighter from the KOF series. Like Vanessa maybe

SnakeXs · (01-09-2008, 06:52 AM)

Hair and glasses gotta go.

She's closer to being in good shape than the actual game though. Zing.

Himuro · (01-09-2008, 06:52 AM)

Doesn't Capcom have the old SNK character designer on their payroll now?

drohne · (01-09-2008, 06:53 AM)

omgwtf

wasn't sf4's character designer just talking up sf2's 'simple, iconic designs'

and then his first original sf4 character looks positively falcoony

pilonv1 · (01-09-2008, 06:53 AM)

What's Pink doing in SF?

aeolist · (01-09-2008, 06:53 AM)

Crimson... Wipe? Is that what it says?

Or Wiper?

methane47 · (01-09-2008, 06:53 AM)

My Arms Your Hearse · (01-09-2008, 06:53 AM)

It just keeps looking worse and worse.

ezekial45 · (01-09-2008, 06:53 AM)

She kinda reminds me of Rose. I don't know why though....

MutFox · (01-09-2008, 06:53 AM)

Whatever, as long as she plays good.

Mr. Pointy · (01-09-2008, 06:54 AM)

Shinkiro.

DarkSloth · (01-09-2008, 06:54 AM)

Vulcano Rosso's sister?

Grayman · (01-09-2008, 06:54 AM)

reminds me of pink.

Vic · (01-09-2008, 06:54 AM)

Very SNK-ish that new character...

Fady K · (01-09-2008, 06:54 AM)

Not very street-fightish chick, but the game looks fantastic.

The Faceless Master · (01-09-2008, 06:54 AM)

man i remember when 'scans' meant 'scans' and not 'digital camera photos'

Segata Sanshiro · (01-09-2008, 06:55 AM)

What the hell is that?

Borys · (01-09-2008, 06:55 AM)

This game is approaching the bottom of the barrel of the franchise rather quickly.

That girl looks like something from KOF. WHICH IS GOOD BTW, cause SNK designs > Capgod designs.

MCD · (01-09-2008, 06:55 AM)

She looks like someone from KOF maximum impact, in term of design.

Mockingbird · (01-09-2008, 06:56 AM)

The name's Crimson Viper.
Occupation: Vega's Chief Concubine
Age: 33

SRG01 · (01-09-2008, 06:56 AM)

(Insert umpteenth KoF/SNK reference here)

Strider2K99 · (01-09-2008, 06:56 AM)

Not quite what I expected for a game like Street Fighter. SNK design is a good description.

AltogetherAndrews · (01-09-2008, 06:57 AM)

So what kind of game is this?

Mr. Pointy · (01-09-2008, 06:57 AM)

The character isn't that bad. Her overall design is a lot cleaner and simpler than most of SNK's stuff. Her overall look is reminiscent of Vanessa and Vice/Mature from KOF, but I think she fits into SF - in an SF Alpha kind of way.

KittenMaster · (01-09-2008, 06:57 AM)

She looks like something that would come from an early 90's movie. This would make her unique in a world where people actually try to look cool.

IzumiK · (01-09-2008, 06:57 AM)

Bet she's has the move set of Zangief.

Whoa whoa wait up wait up.

Chief Concubine?
And are we talking about Vega Vega or M. Bison Vega?

robut · (01-09-2008, 06:58 AM)

mature w iori's hair

Jackson · (01-09-2008, 06:58 AM)

Hey, he got put in a video game! Good foryou Chocolate Rain youtube celeb guy!

zaccheus · (01-09-2008, 06:58 AM)

im interested in what makes you guys say the style of the new character is KOF-ish.. not that i disagree, im just wondering what part of her design gives the vibe

Kintaro · (01-09-2008, 06:58 AM)

Joke post?

I would laugh a hearty laugh if they brought back Vega again...or if Vega is using this chick's body as a vessel.

Everything except her name was a joke post. Her name really is Crimson Viper.
Oh, and not a joke. She's a Pro Wrestler (or uses pro wrestling moves).

Edit: Ok that's a joke too. Only her name is not.

I hear it has streets, and people fight on 'em.

Oldschoolgamer · (01-09-2008, 07:00 AM)

Eh. She looks fine, if not like she came from KoF. Doesn't matter though. I wonder how she handles.

JJN · (01-09-2008, 07:00 AM)

If that is a long-ass braid trailing behind her, then I call some sort of hair-whip attack

Topher · (01-09-2008, 07:00 AM)

I am Jack's disappointing glare......
