Maybe I'm just too used to Super, but these new characters just look off...I know they're still in development but it looks rough.
 
K Brad was amazing there.

But fuck that shit. Not only is it a pallet swap for a character most people hate, it's a character who just beat the man who just proved himself the best at the event. I'm just annoyed Capcom are willing to fund risky as fuck projects like Dogma or even smaller indy titles like Strider but aren't willing to give a budget to the SF team which allows them to makes an actually new character when it's a given that it will sell.
 
Tekken Revolution gets more original character designs than a full fledged update in SF4.

Capcom did not have much money for this version, so the fact we got the ports and Decapre is alright with me. She is like E Ryu - only really about 50% new but it beats no character at all.

Hell there's already precedent for having multiple cammy/doll characters in a SF game. Visually she's really different, the moveset is really different, I'm cool with it.

This is the same company that's taking a huge chunk of their monster hunter money and putting it all into mobile.

Ultimately this would have been fine and people would have expected it, the problem here is that they teased and dragged this out for what, 5 or 6 months?

At the end of the day she plays pretty differently and she's a charge character so gameplay-wise she's fine. My only concern at this point is balancing, aka she better not be on some Marvel shit like what we saw here when the game actually comes out.

Sigh >_> I hope they add Alex and one last group of characters to the list with Ultra SFAE2015Edition to SFIV before going to SFV.

Man, it's obvious they only picked her because she would save resources...this whole upgrade seems cheap. :( Recycling whatever we can! I was hoping the 5th character was their attempt to say "no we have new stuff as well!" but I guess not.
 
I'm glad you have terribly low expectations to be honest. I was currently contemplating the worth of Diablo 3 RoS's given the expansion only added one new character, Ultra doesn't even add that.
The other 4 characters reused assets. My expectations were in line with what we have been given. Anyone expecting an original character model needs a reality check.

Also, she reminds me of Painwheel aesthetically.

ITT: People learn how big of a project Ultra actually is, that Capcom America is spearheading it, and that it literally only exists so the fighting game division has something to do before they are allowed to make a big fighting game again and so they have some shit to shake up in SF4.

She's a charge character with hands and teleports, even an air-charge drill.

Screw the hate, I'm in there.

Really didn't expect her to be a charge character, and didn't expect to want to use her also. Yeah she looks like Cammy, but hey, with the budget they're probably on, it's better than nothing.

What a surprising turn-around for me.

Hopefully we'll see a teaser for whatever that is at EVO and then we can start this whole damn process over again,

(Expecting absolutely nothing at EVO)

None of that changes the fact that this reveal is really underwhelming.

My expectations were that they went with pallet swaps with the others so they delayed this announcement because it was something bigger. I don't think that needs a reality check, to be honest I think you need to wake up and stop being happy with companies fucking you over like this.

Also don't compare her to the beauty of Painwheel you monster. She reminds me of Cammy aesthetically because she's fucking blatantly Cammy.
