Haggar. Believe.The other two returning vets will be Gief and Sim, nobody plays like them and they are iconic as hell. Tons of casuals instantly recognize then and play as them.

i really hope it isn't blanka. i feel like him showing himself wearing a blanka shirt is just misdirection. i realize he loves blanka. but i don't think he will be in the first 16.
Haggar. Believe.
Meanwhile, in the background, there's figures of chun-li and cammy hanging out with a figure of Juri
I do.Haggar costume for Zangief. Believe.
Haggar. Believe.
With Vega revealed, I'm getting more and more of a sense that the rest of the veterans will be SF4 characters just because they're more marketable to a casual crowd. They'll probably save guys like Urien and R.Mika for DLC. They know we'll eat them up.
So I'm betting on the rest of the vets being:
-Balrog (Boxer)
-'Gief
-'Sim
-Juri
"Look forward to a new character reveal at Brazil Game Show"
That's about infinity percent more stuff we have going for Blanka over Juri, btw. Just felt like I should point that out.
Being too obvious is a tell for not being in there
Blanka costume is just a fake out.
Ono is probably just trolling with the Blanka stuff.
100% trolling/misdirection, imho.
No it doesn't. Siliconera leaked 4 characters. We still have 4 slots left for returning characters and 2 of them are most likely alpha characters considering charlie and birdie(alpha design) are in the blue box.You know what? With Claw in, squashing Siliconera, I'm less inclined to believe Alex is in, if only somewhat. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna board the Haggar hype train and ride it all the way to Metro City!
He mostly just wears that costume because he wore it once, and knows that people expect it now. I think he wears it because he's the "Blanka" guy, and not as a hint.
Also, I think Claw's somewhat popular, but I agree that, whereas he has a universal appeal, the rabid fans that want, say, Q or Mika, are more likely to pay for them as DLC than they/casual players would for Claw.

So yeah, Vega probably next to Bison or something. Karin and R.Mika for the Nash/Birdie/Alpha blue area and Gief+Sim as the other two World Warriors?
Yeah, I feel like following the releases and rumors so closely has opened me up to be very disappointed.Man, I remember when Nash was revealed and all I thought was 'Wow, this means anyone can come back!' and now I'm sitting here honestly debating whether or not I can be bothered with this series anymore if all we're going to get is the same characters re-hashed.
Totally. People have forgotten that the colors were just added by some dude.I do think (And hope) it goes this wat

I want Rolento, Akuma, and Dee-Jay. Please!

Streetfighter always has pointless (story-wise) characters though. In most of them Zangief, Dhalsim, E Honda and co are just kind of 'there' for whatever the heck. I imagine Birdie will be much like that so I doubt it's much of a point against the green goofball, no matter how much Capcom tries to tell us it's taking the story much more seriously this time

I guess you weren't there when I pointed out that the colours are actually on the official capcom slide?Totally. People have forgotten that the colors were just added by some dude.
Until you posted this I didn't realise the background actually has coloured squares on it. I coincidentally just got to that part in the video just as I was typing this response so it's the first time I've had a good HD look at it
Ick... I was happy with where we were going with Ryce's idea. The actual sections hinted by the coloured squares in Capcom's slide? Do not want -.-
edit: for those who haven't seen it yet: https://youtu.be/VW8OhG9GB8Y?t=12m15s Check the background 'boxes'
I guess? My mistake then.I guess you weren't there when I pointed out that the colours are actually on the official capcom slide?
edit: those colors are from the Evo panel slide:

Yeah I was wrong, sorry.No, I'm fairly certain the colours were visible on the Evo panel.
Light hearted designNon-trolling, honesty question here. Why do people seem to want R Mika so badly?
I just don't get it. Is it to add more diversity to the roster? If so, there are plenty of other female characters to choose from.
In general, the population rarely gravitates toward grapplers and her design is pretty clownish overall. Does her being a more agile grappler make people consider her more of a contender than a more traditional grapple character?
I guess? My mistake then.
Light hearted design
Female
Only female grappler in the series
Hasn't been in a game for a long time
Alpha characters are a good fit for the game's systems
People actually like her
Pick one

Pick up guy and Cody along the wayHe mostly just wears that costume because he wore it once, and knows that people expect it now. I think he wears it because he's the "Blanka" guy, and not as a hint.

Simple. She's bubbly, a grappler and female. She's literally the only Streetfighter who even qualifies for the last two categories because all the rest of the grapplers are muscle boys.Non-trolling, honesty question here. Why do people seem to want R Mika so badly?

I remember people had this format after it was first shown off but the coloured boxes are there for a reason and they distinctly have 8 in the green, 4 in the purple and 4 in the blue. Now what those colours stand for is anyone's guess but with 90% of the green box filled with SF2 characters it certainly looks like 50% of the roster are returning SF2 characters with the blue box just returning characters. Purple is obviously newcomers.
I do think (And hope) it goes this wat
No worries, as you might gather from the post I quoted, I had no idea either until I watched the HD video, at which point everything clicked ^.^;I guess? My mistake then.
Yeah I was wrong, sorry.
snip, mocking gif
Wouldn't be at all surprised to see 10 SF2 veterans make it to the launch roster now. Juri might sneak in though.
The chances of getting Alex and Urien are getting slimmer by each reveal
I kind of assume this to be the layout from the final character select screen?
I've literally given up now.

Based on those colors, unfortunately, it does seem like they are going to omit the SF3 cast entirely at launch.
the rabid fans that want, say, Q or Mika, are more likely to pay for them as DLC than they/casual players would for Claw.
I've literally given up now.
You and I both know there's no point in even thinking about EX characters because they're owned by Arika and Capcom has been rather stubborn in never paying the fees to use themKarin, Maki, Sakura, Ibuki, Elena, Makoto, Juri etc. From Ex even: Pullum, Hokuto, Sharon.
Out of the entire Street Fighter roster there are a number of other female characters deserve a spot. Yes, there are a ton more male characters, but it's not like SF is devoid of females that we have to throw in the clownish character.
I'm dubious that if Mika was in the game, Ono being Ono would make her a troll character like Dan.
