As a guy who somehow likes the Alpha series more than Third Strike, this game is a wet dream.

with rose... the roster looks complete to me... i cant see them add any more characters. all characters are the "probable" characters... the ones most likely to return for storyline reasons, popularity and fit the new game engine.
rose is a decent counter character... something the game needed
as much as i want to see 3s characters... all signs point to no.

LMAO :lol You know,I didn't even notice the Twix fingers until I read your post, probably because I viewed the original link and didn't pay any attention to the repost.
With that said, I think I share the same sentiments when I say that I would have preferred to have Ibuki or Alex over Rose.

I wanted a few 3S characters too but what can you do? I'll play it regardless. And if they include Karin, I'll forgive anything.

If they add another row it would make the grid asymmetrical. But if they add two rows...

But she´s not a shoto in SF lingo, so that´s why people misunderstood what you said...
primarily as Ryu, should have kept playing as Ken, but I tried Sagat, Blanka, and the new girl with the feux hawk.Star Power said:
More like archetypes than stereotypes, the game was successful because of its international appeal, SFIII ruined that, and till this day I still prefer SFII and the alphas over SFIII.Zophar said:

Ono's a f@cking douchebag.
It really is Street Fighter EX + Alpha! :O

I haven't been paying attention to SFIV news the last few months and WOW that's disappointing!
Only 5 new characters, every SF2 character (including bosses), 3 SSF3 characters and 4 Alpha characters!?
Wow, really really disappointing. I had hoped for a majority or at least equal parts new characters and the elimination of fairly boring SF2 characters like Honda and Dhalsim.

Will find out via Gamefly, but I'm doubting it will be worth keeping. I can just buy SF2HDR for half the price, less shitty character roster, and slightly less hideous visuals.
Sorry Capcom, you lost me when you sold SF out to the 3D shiny / pretty crowd. Nothing about this game is hyping me up, and that's a shame because the character sketches from SF3 pre-game release had me stroking my peeny.
King of Fighters 12 can't arrive soon enough. The only 2D fighter that is worth getting my stroke on over these days.
you just need to play it, admittedly I was excited about the game before heading to austin, but the game plays extremely well, to the point of me being surprised, and it looks even better in person. If you have an arcade near by or know that you will be passing one on a trip, give it a chance. I just don't see how a street fighter fan can truly be disappointed with it after playing it. I can understand people having a preference for one of the past games, because different strokes for different folks, but there is no doubt, the game is of capcom's top quality. This isn't fighters jam, or SF EX, this should be considered in their upper tier.The Take Out Bandit said:

Unfortunately I live in North America, so the closest arcade to me was closed at some point in the past year. :lol
I was going to swing by and see if they had SF4 in there, but when I got there the windows had "for lease" signs where the Namco arcade used to be. :\

The only reply I want to see from you is the source of your avatar.
that sucks man, well... just saying save final judgement till you play it. I truly love fighters, in terms of 2d fighters I play the SNK and capcom stuff, and its of great quality. I worried about the game being floaty because of the 3d, but it feels very much 2-d. I also really like how the 3d can give some characters weight, especially Akuma, because when he entered for the first time you can just feel that he is powerful. A little slower than before but powerful.The Take Out Bandit said:

Yeah, I don't have any of those concerns as I've never had issues with 3D fighting games. Where SF is full of fail is in the visual department and character selection.
They could put a wang on Crimson Viper and I still wouldn't want to play it. :|

I don't get the bitching, people were fine when the top and bottom rows were missing. Game had great word of mouth and then reviews (the 9 in edge for instance). The game looks fucking great, among the best Street Fighters ever and now people bitch because of extra stuff? WTF guys.
I am curious and would like a quote saying Ono recently said he's against dlc. I remember him being all for it to begin with.

Damn :lolvag 2.0 said:
I haven't kept up with this as much as many people, but I believe that going for a "truly new feeling" is the exact opposite of what they're trying to do here. I've always thought the point was to have all the old familiar characters to pull back in the SF2 fans from ages ago.AMUSIX said:

I'm just surprised by the number of characters. They've added a half dozen new ones in the last week (Gen, Cammy, Dan, Fei Long, Seth and Rose).
So many options...and the Japanese tier list is about to be thrown in disarray.
And due to the 3D nature of the game...I hope they skip the yearly increment and go for five, which explains what happened in Three.
But if you're listening Capcom, I wouldn't be too pissed off about a $30 rerelease like Lost Planet with new content.

Yeah my biggest concern is not the actual characters themselves, but the fact that none of them have received much play testing. Right now the game in its current state is pretty well balanced and Id hate for a couple of the new characters to be horribly overpowered.

With this game, Capcom, specifically Ono, was trying to appeal to both new and old fans by using the old SFII cast, using 3D graphics and simplyfing (sp) the system from what it was in Third Strike.

True, but the beautiful thing about new console releases is the patches. I hope Capcom makes use of it. And since you've been playing it, how do Seth and Gouken play out in the tier list?
And has anyone taken a look at the Master Guide? Is it worth buying? Wish Versus Books was still around, so we could get a kick-butt strategy guide along with the game.

A lot of people I know never heard of third strike, they think the third street fighter is alpha 3, that's why capcom maybe didn't use third strike characters...

Personally, I love the addition of Rose.
Looking at the character select screen (from top to bottom), there is a row representing SSF2T Fei Long, Cammy, Akuma) 2 rows representing SF2 (the original eight), a row representing SF2:CE (the bosses), SF4 (new characters) and SFA (Sakura, Rose, Dan, Gen).
It's a great character roster. I understand people are upset about the lack of SF3 characters, but if this sells well enough, there will be a Street Fighter 5. And I'm confident we'll see a good handful of 3S characters in that.
Timeline wise, Makoto, Yun and Yang aren't even teenagers yet.

Rose = Fuck yes
Total lack of 3s = Fuck yes
Total lack of 3s = Fuck yes
Why is this a viable argument? Do you seriously believe that if they included those characters people would find the experience so jarring that they wouldn't enjoy the game as much? Who cares about stories in fighting games?brendanrfoley said:
