Gill was a stupid character too. No gods and shit in my SF. I just want martial artists who are more or less everyday people with bad ass abilities.Seiken said:

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
shidoshi said:
Hell no! Those characters are a fucking joke and unlike anything a Street Fighter should be, hell even Sakura falls under that description. They were well drawn and well animated, but they do not fit well in the Street Fighter lore, maybe more into the anime craze the Alpha series ended up being, but not Street Fighter

Would you rather they hire this artist?
(hint: its the same artist from SF IV)

But we don't know what, if any, role Seth will play in this.
If Capcom wants to keep this game canon, which I'm sure it does, it couldn't use Gill or Urien. Gill received his powers just before Street Fighter 3.

Hey look, it's Bob from Tekken 6 after twenty strokes of the ugly stick. That cool Sammo Hung vibe has been replaced with "look at me, the morbidity of my physical condition is rivaled only by my unfortunate hairstyle and wardrobe!" Ick. I guess I'll hold out on the hope that he plays well.
The other character doesn't do a lot for me either. Looks kind of like Sagat's mutant freak cousin or something. Very meh, but I guess he looks alright in-game.

He's just red and blue, like Blanka is green.

Then I guess you don't want Bison (with his "Psycho Power") or Blanka?
Xater said:
SFIV takes place before SF III, and most of those characters faught in the tournament for the first time in III.
Seth most likely explains why Bison is back from the dead. I mean the guy has modified his body with all this artificial stuff AND worked for Shadowloo. Akuma was suppsed to have killed him in II. M.Bison really isnt an every day guy...compared to everyone else, same with Akuma. And Gill/Urien arent supposed to be gods, arent they just kids who were genetically altered then grew up to be like that?

I'm sorry, but it's hard to imagine anything more retarded than a dickless man with a freaking ying-yang symbol for a stomach... I mean at least Gill/Urine word underwear and the other designs mad sense. Oro was a freaky demon thing, Necro was a failed experiment, Q was a freak in a mask, Hugo was a giant, not to far a stretch for the imagination. However here you need to ask why the fuck somebody would replace their mid section with a ying-yang and remove their wing-wang. There's no freaking logical answer.

o now i see >_>...
opinions are funny like that i guess. to me blanka has been the biggest joke character in any fighting game ever. fucking green goblin is not fun to use at all, but i don't cry about it and make a fuss, because its obvious thats just my opinion.

Blanka was the "more or less" part. But him and Bison are still human. What the hell is this guy?brendanrfoley said:
It's all good. I just think they are taking it too far.

Himuro said:
Compare the characters you get in SF 2 or 1. They each represent one discipline, are battle tested around the world,have a history ... and then hey look, we get high school students and were supposed to believe they can beat Ryu in a fight
R. Mika is just a terribly designed character is all. Dont like her outfit, dont like the hearts, dont like the hair, just doesnt do it for me at all
Raging Spaniard said:
The amount of ridiculousness in this thread is already over the limit. They don't fit in with the Street Fighter lore? You mean the lore where a kid grew up to be a green-skinned monster just because he lived in the wild, or a guy from India who can stretch his limbs, or young girls mind-controlled by Bison to be bodyguards?
Yeah, what place would a relatively normal girl who idolizes Ryu and wants to be like him have in lore like that.
Spirit of Jazz said:
His body is totally artificial, the yin-yang thing probably is some crazy artifact that gives him power. Gill and Urien were supposed to be human then were genetically modded as kids or something.
Xater said:But I don't care about the fucking story. I just want some of my favorites back
Blame Capcom
You know how they get when they want to tie up things in their games. Just look how they skipped around with DMC and Megaman.Spirit of Jazz

Geez, Reno was right...
If the game plays great in the end, shouldn't that be what matters?Reno said:To be honest, I won't be posting any technical stuff here because it's going to get bogged down in the typical 'omg 3D SF sux' and 'lawl Rufus is homo' shit, so if you want actual gameplay details from players attending (not only me, but about 10 others as well) then hit up SRK here: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=156482
If any gaffers go I guess you can use this thread for your impressions.

You know, I understand there are some of you who don't care about the story. But there are several of us who do.
To dismiss us out of hand is no different than us raising concerns about the Street Fighter universe, and making sure everything fits.

lol wut thats really your reason for not liking sakura and karin. dude grow up...
(yeah i dont like mikas design either, but who cares)
brendanrfoley said:
i was under the impression that anyone who actually cared about the story would be excited for SETH's inclusion. it looks as if he will be a link to 3s gill/urien

NEITHER OF THESE ARE HAGGAR.
Himuro said:
Believe it. I say take what you get, and if the gameplay is good, make sense of the story as you go. It really does make sense as you go anyway...
Also from earlier: Seth is the CEO of S.I.N., the weapons division of Shadoloo. He has transformed his body and acquired various fighting data.
Hes pretty much not even human anymore and has a totally artificial body, why are you people even asking about male genitals after reading that? Hell, why are you asking about it at all?

Himuro said:
Blanka: Man Beast living in the Amazon, abandoned by his parents, hes a fucking monster, dude! At least he looks like he could fucking murder you
Dhalshim: Yoga isn't a fighting technique, but it was awesomely "implemented" regardless and they used a lot of neat things into his character, such as spitting fire like when you see street performers do (and plays the Indu stereotype, which is an issue, but it worked in the game)
Bison: First he had presence and hey, hes the last boss so he gets to be mysterious, plus he had a real intimidating look, which none of the characters I complained about had.
Vega: Well, got me there. As a Spaniard I just couldn't make any sense of him, thats for sure
They're all still better than "hey Im in highschool yay! lets fight whoo!" That characters like Sakura and Karin introduced. If Sakura makes it into SF 3 then that would make sense, as she would be a grown up fighter with some experience
and like I said before, with Mika I have more of a problem with her actual design, not her discipline

The majority of people complaining just don't know what they want. Characters like Seth 'don't fit within the SF universe', but more normal characters like Abel 'lack personality'. Capcom are giving us a healthy quantity of both freakish and normal fighters, but you people are never happy!
Dudley and Makoto please!
