No clue on Dudley, but I think there was a figurine announced for "Dark Sakura." Since people are thinking that those figurines are indicative of the roster, that'd mean we'll at least see her in that form. I'm really hoping Dudley's back, but I can see them saving him for the Super Edition/Season 2, depending on how they ultimately go about this.
You mean the reason why street fighter still exists?
Ken is just looking for a girl with a little more cushion than ElisaYeah, I'm not sure how they decided would be on the other side of the cover.
All I know is that Ken seems to have his creep face on and all fei long is missing is a pair of shades to go with his expression
So, new never-before-seen character reveal at Comic-Con...?It won't just be rebooted characters from past Street Fighter games, though. You will see some fresh faces in the mix this time around.
"Very soon in the future, you will see brand new characters for the franchise," noted Dahlgren.

So, new never-before-seen character reveal at Comic-Con...?
"We're not revealing the total roster count just yet," said Dahlgren. "What we can say is that we're putting a strong focus on making sure that every character put into the game is very unique and has their own individuality.
"We want to start off with a core roster which will be inviting to new players. When you start off with a gigantic roster right off the bat, it can be pretty daunting for new players to figure out where to start."
"We did a lot of research before choosing our roster, and it was one of the largest debates within our company," mentioned Dahlgren.
"We did a poll that ranked all of the characters in order, and when we put through the roster, we had all of those spots in there so we know where things lined up.
"We did not just follow the poll rankings as law, there's a lot of elements that come into play when creating a roster and gameplay styles, and it's not necessarily our job to give fans exactly what they want it's our job to be innovative and give fans what they don't even know they want yet," he said.
"Every character won't have a stage based on them, but we will be staying true to the Street Fighter franchise in bringing new locations throughout the globe to the game in the form of new stages, but there won't be parity between characters and stages.
"If we had to do a stage for every single character, our character roster is going to be a lot smaller," said Dahlgren.
"We are paying attention to how everybody handles story related content, and we will be doing things differently this time around for Street Fighter 5, but we'll be sharing details on that at a later date," said Dahlgren.
"We have paid attention to the way that we've managed things with Street Fighter 4, and we will be mixing things up this time around," said Dahlgren.
"This is the only disc you're ever going to need to own to get all of the content in the game, but we'll be revealing details of how our post-launch content happens at a later date, but it will be good news," he concluded.

Maximillions top 5 characters he wants to see in SFV.
My personal top 5
5. Q
4. Urien
3. Alex
2. Maki
1. Hagger
Safe bet? Probably new character at SDCC and returning vets at eco..So what are we thinking? 1 character revealed at SDCC and 2 more at Evo?

The first two SFIV reps will be Juri and Abel I'm pretty sure.I bet Juri is in it but C.Viper is not.
With Alex in there's no chance for Abel.The first two SFIV reps will be Juri and Abel I'm pretty sure.
Viper would probably be next after that.

I'm not sure why Alex would disqualify Abel. They're really not that similar in playstyle. Hopefully we'll get both!With Alex in there's no chance for Abel.
Pretty sure Juri will be the only SFIV rep. Thank god.
As for Abel, he obviously has connections to Charlie, but if Capcom is going to include a vet solely because of their connection with Charlie, it's probably going to be Guile. Besides, Abel's pseudo-grappler playstyle would be too similar to Alex's.
So two characters with a similar playstyle archetype, implemented in two very different ways, is less plausible to you than two characters that literally have the same attacks as each other
As it stands now, Abel is more unique comparatively since Alex is not yet confirmed.Have you not seen Charlie's gameplay? They share a sonic boom, that's about it. Not to mention, Guile would still be a charge character, meaning he would fill a completely different gameplay archetype.
I think Guile is more plausible mainly because he's from SF2 and Capcom loves the SF2 cast. My point is that thinking Abel is going to be in because of his connection to Charlie is silly because there is a significantly more popular and more unique character who is more deeply connected to Charlie. Capcom could still decide to throw Abel in, I just wouldn't bet on it.
They said in that same interview that the poll results are not the end all, be all. (Hence Birdie!) And more recent big polls have placed Abel slightly above Viper in terms of popularity.There's no way on earth Abel would make it BEFORE Viper.
Juri and Viper ARE the most popular SFIV characters. That's a fact according to the official poll (that Capcom recently referenced in that interview!)
With the emphasis on "uniqueness," Abel as a grappler can be substituted with other past characters, Viper plays so differently than every other character and that what makes her chances much more likely.
With SFIV being one of the most successful Street Fighters, they'd at least have 2 reps. Juri is a LOCK. There's no denying it. The second rep (that could come as DLC/Season 2) has got to be Viper. They can get as creative as they want with her V-Skill or whatever and give her an optic blast (like the one she had from MVC) or whatever gadgets her battlesuit has.
So different she doesn't even have to block!There's no way on earth Abel would make it BEFORE Viper.

Can't block while airborne anywaaaaysSo different she doesn't even have to block!
The most recent big name poll was from January of this year on Eventhubs, where Abel placed one spot above Viper. (9000+ votes, so it was not a small sample.) I think that Capcom poll is 2 or 3 years old by now.I would like to see those polls, please.
As it stands now, Abel is more unique comparatively since Alex is not yet confirmed.
I expect both to be in the game, perhaps not all at once, but definitely at some point.
For later "seasons" I can see them adding Abel of course. But I really doubt both Alex and Abel make it into the initial roster.I'm not sure why Alex would disqualify Abel. They're really not that similar in playstyle. Hopefully we'll get both!
If we have to suffer through Juri again (which we will), I need my Abel.
If I had my way, we'd have both Abel and Alex right off the bat, since they're two of my favorite SF characters. I'm definitely not trying to disregard the demand for Alex. (Because I'm part of that demand!) I just think it's strange that some people think they're so similar just because they both have grappler style moves. Grappler can mean a lot of different things.Sure, but I think that Capcom is well-aware of the fans' demand for Alex and I would hope that they act on it. But, it wouldn't be the first time they've disappointed Street Fighter fans. We've yet to see any SF3 characters so far.
As long as we get both eventually, I'll be happy, but as it stands now, I think Abel has more reason to be included first if we're considering things from a story standpoint.For later "seasons" I can see them adding Abel of course. But I really doubt both Alex and Abel make it into the initial roster.
Oh man, I'd love to see Geki back. Just like a straight up, old school ninja. Joe and Retsu would be cool too.I don't think Geki or Lee will every be playable in a future sf game, Lee especially. I mean he'd be a hybrid of his nephews but they already sorta gave Rufus some of Yun's stuff and added the Twins in anyway. Retsu however. I got a feeling about him
Ibuki you mean? (Or maybe Guy?) Geki has been gone so long that they could tweak him to make him more unique, but as I was saying before, without Vega/Ibuki/Guy confirmed, Geki could also fill that niche. (And technically he's the original.)Yea Eagle would be great, but I guess I meant character not seen since one. Geki has claw and stuff which is what Vega is all about and if you wanna switch him up to a straight up Ninja, there's already characters for that
I doubt thatThe first two SFIV reps will be Juri and Abel I'm pretty sure.
Viper would probably be next after that.
I doubt that
I dont think anyone cares about abel,Juri and viper are the only two people actually showed interest in.Viper got into marvel for goodness sakes.Also while my man alex is at the top, that poll aint representative of anything resembling the full sf fanbase or even folks who like it casually. I like alex but sf3 kinda wasn't a thing.
Birdie is in the game.
Not every character that Capcom includes will be a popular one.
With Alex in there's no chance for Abel.
Pretty sure Juri will be the only SFIV rep. Thank god.
2 jacked blonde pseudo-grapplers are not going to be both making it into the game's initial roster together.
Juri might be a big reason why Ken's rumored to be skipping the initial roster. Omega Mode Ken and Juri overlap conceptually w/ their kick-fireball stuff, even if their playstyles are radically different.
Combofiend's EH interview suggests that we have a newbie reveal coming up soon, probably at SDCC or EVO.
