Ironic considering how beefy everyone is in SF4 anyway with the design style they are doing.

Well if he is the boss of this game and he is like he was in the original he is going to rape players left and right.

The new IC card system features in place now are the ability to buy different colors for your char's outfits (2 each as of now) and also earn stamps from different arcades that you play at.

M. Bison playable, yay. He better not be the final boss. If so, disappoint-a-ton. Hopefully it's not Akuma either. I'm anxious to see what Vega looks like.

For the Johnny come lately's here are some poor quality vids of Balrog (the boxer) and Sagat from the first loc test.

The hell? Zombie Bison confirmed then? Either that or some kinda...Shin Bison. In death he realized his true powers...or something like that I bet.

Clone body most likely. I doubt it would be the real Bison (If the character returns) since his soul was totally destroyed by Akuma in SF2.

So they've only added one more female fighter so far. In the beginning, they made it sound like there was gonna be quite a few added.

Edit: I read somewhere else, Rufus might be female?


Vega (M.Bison) coming back was a dead cert. They're going for SF2 3D, so I'd expect him to be the final boss, or at least boss before the final boss.

How do you mean?

Was this in the videogame storyline, or the movie, or what?

That Rufus looks like the freak so many people were asking for. He reminds me very lightly of Hugo. Looks like a cool character. I want to see Bison and Vega, I'm glad their making their return. I've already seen Balrog and Sagat in action, they look great too if you ask me.

Also, there is rumors flying about, saying that a new character named "Rufus" is in the game. Although the person from 2ch (source of the rumor) says "Rufus" is a Chinese-African who is female, nothing has been confirmed about what the character looks like. However, checking the keitai site, I did see the name "Rufus" in katakana for the character rankings.

Awesome news MarkMan - thanks!

I need to get the dirt on Balrog (the boxer) if he's still as nasty in Super Turbo...

Ryu, Balrog and Guile in the game bring a smile on my face - I haven't seen too much of what the new characters can do, but the classics are already good enough for me...

Can't wait to see what Bison and Vega look like in the new style...

This thread is pretty lame so far, where's the media?

So that makes 16 characters so far? Hopefully there are about 25 by the time it's on consoles

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Mr Bison, what?

Tried out Rufus, who is a blonde big fighter, similar to that fat guy in Tekken 6 almost, but with a ponytail. I'm not really sure how he could be Chinese-American, he looks white to me but ::shrug::.

Rufus is a round character with blonde hair, a ponytail, wearing suspenders (?), and his whole model jiggles this way and that hehe.

From Shoryuken forum.

This loc test just started, as in really "just" so don't expect flow of media yet, lol.

Maybe if Rufus is like Bear from Fatal Fury Special it'll be interesting, but I doubt it.

What's wrong with Ono? The new characters designs ranges from decent to lame. Fuerte looked good in art but in screens he seems really shitty.
