nah man, jurassic park (upper level) has a dope theme, so does mad gear hideout (first round). but yeah, the music was terribad in sfxt.
I tried to find the source where it said they were supposed to be robotic, but can't seem to find it. So, I can't say with 100% certainty.
On my phone, but I think EventHubs explains most of those terms.

Terminology varies per game, but here's one for SF4.
FDAC isn't an actual acronym, but you're probably thinking of FADC which stands for Focus Attack Dash Cancel. In SF4, there's a move called Focus Attack that you can charge up and you can cancel the charging animation by dashing. However, you can cancel other moves INTO the Focus Attack, so you can essentially cancel some moves (like a shoryuken) into a focus attack, and then cancel that focus attack into a dash. This is what FADC is, roughly.
"Wake up" refers to the time period after someone is knocked down and is getting up.
It's Shaq
Only the full retail versions have all costumes included.
The $40 version yes.
Great, thanks!
I originally played the vanilla version on the PS3. Since then I have built a sweet PC so I'll be grabbing this version for that!
Both retail and downloadable full versions, I believe.
And I'm not still not convinced that includes the DLC costumes for vanilla Street Fighter IV.

Nope, the digital full version (which your source simply forget to mention) will be the same one as the disc version, so it will also include all of the costumes.
Not according to the original reveal and Capcom's fact sheet...
(Note that the fact sheet says "all previously released costume DLC for the Street Fighter IV series", which should include the costumes from vanilla Street Fighter IV, logically, but there are only 78 screenshots in the reveal video... Would be nice if they could clarify that one.)
Apart from size differences, they would also have to remove some of the Tekken cameos from the background and decide on which part of the stage will be the fixed view for this game (as some of them, like the Dino one) feature multiple views. That is assuming that they don't keep the stage transitions.
So in the worst case scenario, tweaking means that are just doing the bare minimum of adjusting the stages to fit the SFIV world (i.e. no Tekken cameos, no transitions) but in the best scenario they will actually alter a few details so that SFxT players will not feel like they are playing on the same stages again. In that regard I would prefer them to add new cameos or some alterations to the background events and treat them as a sort of sequel to their SFxT versions. New music could also be a good thing indeed.
And regarding the DLC stages question above: while I understand the technical difficulties this could result in with online versions etc., I can't say that I - as a fighting game stages fan - wasn't quite dissappointed when Capcom (A) never made character specific stages and then (B) didn't at least add a few more ones as DLC or - better yet - in their SSFIV Arcade Edition update.
For me, seemingly inconseqential things such as stages, ending cutscenes, music and sound effects are actually what makes me remember a fighting game because it helps to establish their unique atmosphere. Without this atmosphere, even when the gameplay is solid, I still won't be as driven to return to old games as much. (Keep in mind, this is coming from a guy that most of the time plays New Generation instead of Third Strike because he likes the stages, the art between fights, and thus the overall atmosphere in that game infinitely better.)
I for one will thus welcome these "new" stages as long as they don't create a rift between the original ones when it comes to world building too much.
Edit:
No real rumors but quite a few hints, as discussed here earlier. In summary: it will be a possibly obscure off-everyone's-radar type Capcom character that is new to Street Fighter but is related to it, that has never been featured in a fighting game, that could have something to do with the age rating of the game going up (though I might be remembering that one wrong), that could be a woman (as hinted at a panel) and whose name could be starting with an 'Y' (because the other four new characters' names start with 'H', 'P', 'E', 'R' as was pieced together here in this forum). Yoshinoro One himself could be a possiblity, as could my own suggestion of R.Mika's teacher Yoko Harmageddon (probably not though), but characters like Haggar or Damnd are out because they already are featured in fighting games. Asura and Bad Box Art Mega Man are also out as said by Ono himself. Now that I think about it, the 'Y' hint - if true - could also imply a character related to the Greek letter upsilon. Does this ring any bells for people? Or it could indeed imply a third Yun and Yang sibling, as has been suggested here (and which would be easier to create). Or it could..wait for it...refer to 'You', as in a character the player can create himself by choosing a look and moveset from different presets (as is possible in many wrestling games).

The panel question didn't really seem like a hint imo, just a little girl wanting the mysterious character to be a girl (hence just making the audience happy "we could make it a girl if you want it to be"). Also the HYPER theory breaks down when you consider that all the characters ported to USF4 were SFxT characters not present in SSF4, so its more of a coincidence that they spell HPER. The game isn't even called Hyper street fighter.. so why would they limit the character to a name starting with y.

Gene, Nilin, Go Hibiki, Goutetsu. I don't know, but I want to know who it is already!
It could be "OHPER", which would mean Darth Vader!

Probably all true, these considerations. Then again, I was just summarizing the thought process and detective work in the thread so far. Wishful thinking or not, the HYPER hint is too well found not to at least mention.
Also, everything is allowed in wild speculation ;-)

Sigh...

Now to patiently wait again for any new crumb of info...
It's PERTH, Tom from Alex's backstory and an all new un-announced Australian background!
Electric Snake (E. Snake), a male-counterpart and rival to C. Viper who is also tasked with investigating Shadaloo.
HERPES
That reminds me that there was a male counterpart to Crimson Viper...
Smalt Raven:
I guess that would be a character that isn't on anybody's radar.
(I wouldn't bet on it, really.)

That guy's boss. I want that guy.
Pretty sure he got killed by Vega (/M. Bison) before Street Fighter IV even began though.
Not that Capcom is particularly known to care about such details, but...
Only if the pompadour is used in a attack.
dawgtanian says all new characters will be good
one thing that doesn't make sense though, is that they want the game to reward intelligent play, and to that end they are trying to tone down vortex setups since they are "auto-pilot"
Well, so are Auto-correct DPs. While we're at it, Option selects are pretty brainless too, instead of choosing a single move you get to choose 2! If that's not auto-piloting the game, I don't know what is.

Using your option selects would be an intelligent thing to do.
Assuming frame data is not changed dramatically from SFxT and that most juggle heavy moves will not work, Hugo may end up the best grappler easily with Poison easily high tier.
Rolento with his current adjustments and Elena are the ones I worry about

Every character can OS and auto-correct specials, not every character can vortex. Plus arn't OS and auto-corrects in SF4 a result of the input leniency for inputting EX moves?
Using your vortex would be an intelligent thing to do.
I'm just pointing out that Capcom is claiming to make the game less brainless by "rewarding intelligent play" yet, there are clearly other thing in the game that are braindead.
auto-correct DP -- I don't even care what side you are jumping at me, I can cover BOTH sides with my DP
option select -- Oh, you are about to get up? (example) you have 4 wakeup options, your opponent has an option select at kills 3 of them. great. intelligent play!
the reasoning behind toning down vortex, capcom claims, is to make the game less braindead. Yet, there are other of braindead things here still.
I'm scared that Capcom's definition of intelligent play is OS's, links and vortexes.
Glad to see all chars get new toys, though they need to be unafraid to nerf things as well. Nerfs that come with buffs are the best nerfs.
