Urien and Gill are Greek. They resemble ancient olympian athletes and their fighting style is based on pankration (with pillar men influences on their special abilities).

IIRC, they were Spartans. Which makes them Greek. Urien only had a stage which was Egypt (or was it Mexico?).
Remember what I said about the Dubai reveal possibly being the Dubai World Games Expo in November? Scratch that, Ono actually meant Games 15 in Dubai, which is happening on September 11th.

Ono's going to be there on the 11th
Which makes sense as September 15th is when Sony's holding their TGS conference, and i'd expect him to be there for that.
Thanks for pointing that out. I edited the post accordingly.

Do we know when the reveal for PAX is going to happen? The only Street Fighter related event on the PAX schedule is a USF4 tournament taking place Sunday night.
They may do the reveal before PAX like they did with Vega.

Do we know if SFV will be playable at the event? If so, I'd expect the trailer soon as they will probably have that character playable in the build there.

PAX reveal?
Cardboard Tube Ninja as guest character?

Looks like Rainbow Mika will be revealed at Pax...

Looks like the link was already pulled, there was a full character reveal and screenshots on the French Sony blog.

That led me to a French broken page link? Do you have another link?
Probably taken down because someone published an article too early or something like that.

Yeah, it could be a reveal like Bison and Vega where they came out of nowhere. But that would be a weird way to reveal Mika since she's been such a requested character.
Ono has just teased it as "At last i've got my wish". BobbyRoberts found a couple of quotes from Ono talking about how much he'd been begging the SF4 director to include Mika, so people are thinking it could be her.

They pulled the site down after 15 minutes. I got it from /r/games. There were in-game shots of her.

I'm positively beaming right now, one of my major concerns was that they'd make her look awful but she actually looks ok there :3Yep, confirmed.
Could've done without them lowering her top but I'll live and she's even brought a microphone with her this time
Haha thanks. I normally don't share anything so this is one of the incredibly rare times I've actually made any insider knowledge public... not that "Mika is in the game" is much to share

Can't wait to see her in motion.
SFV needed another Vibrant character.
The next character who will make me incredibly happy, also Urien. Please Ono make it so.

Always been a Mika fan. Glad to see her in!
I'm torn between it being Urien in the blue space with Mika, Nash and Birdie with Alex and Karin for DLC or the blue space representing Alpha characters and Karin is the last space there with the green representing numbered SF games with Urien and Alex filling the rest of the green. Or I could be completely wrong.

Spectacular.
Ask Vega. I believe he took her slot. There is no way SF3 wont be represented with 2 characters.

So, if we're still assuming the colours mean something I'm guessing we can probably agree that the section with Birdie and Charlie is an 'alpha' section now?

Oh god Siliconera leak please be real, Alex Urien Mika and Karin would be the dopest shit

I'm starting to lean towards that now. Maybe we were all thrown off and green is actually numbered SF characters, not just SF2 characters?
Definitely. After Vega dissapointment i lost hope for more alpha and sf3 characters.

The colors be bullshit or the "SF2" section could be "Everyone not brand new or from Alpha" section.
No characters from III at launch would be too cruel.

I'm gonna go with "colors are a red herring, the way the characters are arranged is more important"So, if we're still assuming the colours mean something I'm guessing we can probably agree that the section with Birdie and Charlie is an 'alpha' section now?
