I must be one of the few T Hawk fans out there. I was so pumped to see him in SF 2. I just wish they had redone his moves so everything wasn't a chop.

The only good thing that came from T.Hawk is that his stage music is the best thing

It really makes no sense NOT to have the 4 New Challengers,in there. I mean, chronologically, since they were the last characters added in the SFII game line, they would MORE LIKELY still be around in the SFIV tournament, then say Honda or Guile or Dictator.

Boxer (Balrog). :lolThe-Switcher said:
Actually that look would be interesting.
Also, I heard that Ken is 3/4ths Japanese-1/4th American and dyes his hair (it's actually black?). But I don't know if that's canon or not. :lol

Fuck, it looks like yurinka has been holding out on us: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1exYBXibII&eurl=http://capcom-town.es/2008/04/26/primera-imagen-y-video-de-vega-torero-y-mbison-dictador-en-street-fighter-iv/K.Jack said:

Well I know they've referenced his mom as Japanese a few times, I guess it's not a stretch to assume his dad might be half Japanese. And I think a bunch of the Street Fighter cast in general must 'dye their hair'.
Karin = Japanese blonde
Birdie = Black blonde
Ryu = USED TO BE A REDHEAD
Rainbow Mika = Japanese Blonde
Akuma = Japanese Redhead (Okay maybe that might be demons)
Granted I'm dipping into SF1 and Alpha here, but there's alot of fighters who keep peroxide around.

I think it was Ken. Ryu won the 1st one (SFone). I think Alex beat Gill.QCF Punch said:
Does Akuma's appearance in SF2 apply to the canon?
I really like SF's backstory but it's confusing. o_o

I agree. People talk shit about SF's story, but for a fighter it's pretty damn good and i really enjoy it. It also has the benefit of being a very long running series, which allows for a lot of character development. That's why I hope some A3 or 3S chars make it into IV so that we can get a little more expansion on their stories.
I also agree that's it's confusing, but eh.
I always thought that Akuma killing Bison was canon, but i won't lose any sleep over it if it isn't.

Depending on how the World Warrior was actually set up, it's hard to tell who actually "won", and if the Four Heavenly Kings actually took part or were some preset finalists. All signs point to that Ryu didn't get a match with Sagat (possibly that he was seeded to fight someone else instead) and dropped out. Most likely Chun-Li and Guile fought in the semi-finals and Chun-Li decided to throw the fight to let Guile face Bison in top condition.
But yeah, really, nothing is decided and I doubt Capcom is gonna sit down and give us a run-down of who fought who as a backstory for this game.
Which is kind of poor. Even Virtua Fighter that basically has NO ongoing story (apart from vague statements that Wolf is fighting to save the world from the evil of J6 and noone else has a clue) states more or less who beat who in the last tournament.

Do you still go to the USSR when you fight Zangief? Always thought that was weird that it was still called USSR in all those SF2's.

Yep ^_^J I know the video is awful, but it's the only thing we found. BTW the four bosses look great in the scan, no? There are the victory images when they win a round (enhaced with ink effects, etc).
This week was suposed the day with the update in the oficial site, but looks like next tuesday / wednesday is when we are going to see oficial artwork and snapshots of these new characters.
But would be before if certain Arcadia magazine is properly scanned...

THIS IS DELICIOUS
BTW, to the haters/trolls who are always looking for arguements to bitch SFIV: This is not the first game where Vega (claw) is brunette ingame and blonde in the artwork. It happened in a lot of other games, including some SF2 titles. And wait to see his "alternate pallete colors" before talking about anything like that.

I really wish there weren't so many SFII characters in this game. Vega looks great though.

^That's why I posted a link from SRK that had the pic in it on the last page. I wasn't really sure about the scan thing.

It's just the start, there will be more new characters in the future most likely.

I am not digging the style of this game, BUT Vega(US) looks great.

Fei Long, and the 3rd Strike's cast absence is mostly forgiven.
But, if Yang, Makoto, Ibiki, and/or Dudley return...
Must buy.
Game looks like it's shaping up to be excellent, regardless.

Holy shit at Sagat's Ultra, and his kneeing to the gut throw.
tapedeck said:
Yeah i noticed that too. Though it could have just been an animation they added for when you get hit while doing a Focus Attack, since it takes two consecutive hits to knock you out of one. But even though Ono seemed adamant about keeping parries out, I'm keeping hope alive.
QCF Punch said:
Focus Attacks eat one attack (except for supers and ultras), but you still take damage. So it's kind of like a parry... your attack still keeps going through even though you're hit. The cool thing that was reported from the location test is that whatever damage you take is greyed out and actually recovers if you don't get hit for a few seconds. But if you get hit then you lose all of that damage forever. It's a pretty neat system.
Reno said:
Yeah that is pretty cool, and will add another layer of strategy. Though they must have just recently added the blue flash animation, because that wasn't in any of the vids i had seen from any of the earlier loketests. I like it though, because it gives the player a visual cue as to whether or not they have absorbed an attack yet.
Somewhat unrelated note...i cannot wait for this game.

This game is looking so cool! And the power attack definitely adds a layer of strategy, love it.
I'm really wanting to see other characters (so many, too many) like Cammy and Fei Long.
