Title: Super Street Fighter IV's getting more Alpha characters!
Post by: bork on November 24, 2009, 04:40:49 PM
NEW CHARACTERS REVEALED!  MORE ALPHA, BABY!!

Cody, Guy, and Adon are confirmed in from the new Famitsu!  You can see pics at  :nsfw http://wiieveryday.blogspot.com/  :nsfw*

So far, the initial unconfirmed info that surfaced a while ago on the game has stayed consistent.  If it keeps up, that means the SF3 characters and at least one new face (an Arabian wrestler obsessed with body oil) should be the next to be revealed.

We know the full roster already Lyte :P

Adon is cool, Guy is boring, Cody is boring.  Would have much rather had Rolento and Sodom or Birdie.  SFIV needs more oddball characters.  SF3 characters will be hot.  New characters will be lolz.  SSFIV part #2 with another 8 characters will be awesome because they'll be running out of old losers to port and be forced to make new characters! :O

Which SF3 characters are rumored to be in it?

Dudley, Ibuki, and Makoto.

From Alpha, I would have liked to have seen R. Mika, Karin, Rolento, and Sodom.  From Three, I'd like to have Elena, Hugo, and Alex.  Dudley and Ibuki are good choices.  I was never much of a Makoto fan.

I love Dudley.  He's the only character I care about in SSFIV.  He's got mad style and being a non-charge boxer with a dragon punch he fucking rocks.

Makoto is cool but I wasn't very good with her.  Don't like Ibuki much.

Sodom and Birdie would have been much preferred over Guy and Cody. I really dislike Cody.

Birdie was just a fun character to play.

Post by: Bebpo on November 24, 2009, 05:43:12 PM
Don't need Alex.  TvC has taught me that he's one of the more boring SF3 chars IMO.

Karin is hmmmmm, I always lumped her in the Sakura category of fast low-damage girls so I never used her.  I like to stick with medium/slow medium/high damage chars.  Hence why I don't like Ibuki either. 

I like R. Mika but her design disturbs the hell out of me so I'm glad she's not in.
Title: Re: Super Street Fighter IV's getting more Alpha characters!
Post by: bork on November 24, 2009, 05:44:17 PM
Damage depends on the game.  Ibuki was one of the best 2i.

R. Mika ROCKS.  Designs once again mean nothing since everyone gets an alt.

I love Dudley.  He's the only character I care about in SSFIV.  He's got mad style and being a non-charge boxer with a dragon punch he fucking rocks.

Makoto is cool but I wasn't very good with her.  Don't like Ibuki much.

I wouldn't discount any of these characters, since they are going to play differently in SSF4.  Some of the basic stuff will be intact, but like all the other returning characters, there will be plenty of changes.

I wouldn't mind it if Dudley just flat-out replaced Balrog.  'Rog is so fucking boring in SF4 (like Blanka!) and everyone plays him the same fucking way.

Makoto was one of my mains in 3S.  Great character with a lot of power moves and setups, can't wait to see her in SSF4.

Cody is a whack choice.

Alex in TvC is a bad representation of the character.  He just doesn't fit in well with that game's play style.

I wouldn't mind it if Dudley just flat-out replaced Balrog.  'Rog is so fucking boring in SF4 (like Blanka!) and everyone plays him the same fucking way.

 :lol

I will now use Cody against you every time we play when SSF4 is out!

CODY :hyper
GUY :hyper
ADON :hyper

I don't see how the fuck anyone could ever say Guy, of all characters, is BORING. 

[youtube=560,345]pJmghh6Y7ZM[/youtube]

And Cody is about as oddball as they come.  I hope they give him that weird auto-sidestep he has in V-ism.  That would be crazy.

Didn't THE BEAST, Daigo, use Guy in A3?
Title: Re: Super Street Fighter IV's getting more Alpha characters!
Post by: Robo on November 24, 2009, 08:44:01 PM
I thought he was a V-Ryu man, but I'm sure he switched it up a bit.
Title: Re: Super Street Fighter IV's getting more Alpha characters!
Post by: iconoclast on November 24, 2009, 08:52:01 PM
Pretty sure Daigo used V-Akuma until he played Alex Valle and then switched it up to a V-Ryu. Not 100% sure though, never really followed Alpha 3.
Title: Re: Super Street Fighter IV's getting more Alpha characters!
Post by: bork on November 24, 2009, 08:57:49 PM
I just remember there was somebody who was all beastly with Guy in A3.  One of the top players.

Everyone looks fun to use, especially Adon. :o

T.Hawk is the only new person shown so far that I don't even wanna try.

I hope the Ibuki and Makoto rumors are true. We only got one new female character so far.

Looks like Dee Jay still has his cr.lp, cr.lp, mp x dread kicks combo. Fuck yes. Though that did kinda look like cr.mp :wtf I hope you'll still be able to hit 3 up-kicks and juggle a super/ultra off it too.

Dee Jay  :bow2

And if I have to pay another $20 for costumes that I already bought in the previous game I'm gonna be pissed. And then I'll buy them.

I'm wondering if the "bonus" they keep talking about for people who keep their SF4 discs is some way to get extra costumes for free or something.

Did they, Bebpo?  That's good.  I hope there's new alts though.

They better let me keep my damn Championship rank too.  The thought of having to play through G3 again makes me very sad.

I don't think this is going to stay; didn't they say they were changing the ranking system to work for individual characters?  It's better that way, IMO.  Just like the arcade version and like VF5 and Tekken 6.  Plus it's also good if everyone starts over again anyway.  It would kind of suck to get the game and then find that there's fewer people playing in whatever class you're in.

I doubt it, bro.  Seth Killian was talking about how the whole back end online infrastructure is being redone for SSF4, which is why they couldn't just patch SF4.

They already said costumes transfer over.
And they'll add more costumes for the new challengers at a fee, no doubt.

This video shows all the new online stuff plus the bonus stages.  Online looks to be beefed up, but I'm worried that the quality of matches may get worse in rooms with eight people.  Keeping the faith though!

It's the Metro City stage.  Keep it OLD SKOOL-- that ain't Hugo, it's ANDORE, bitches! 

Why is everyone freaking out about that, anyway?  Tons of Final Fight characters were in Guy's stages in Alpha 2 and Alpha 3.   :)

Isn't Hugo basically ANDORE?  The ANDORE character had multiple palette swaps in Final Fight, so I always thought the 3S incarnation was just a personalization of the character.  He does have Poison as his companion.

Andore has really lowered his standards.   :(
