Yeah ono said no to Asura. It also has to be a character they have full rights to. They aren’t paying money to any partners
They’ve already told who the new character is.
If it is Haggar then Gief’s costume will be ankward.
I wouldn’t bet on him.
People don’t even read the posts above them, anymore.
ONO SAID NO ASURA.
God fucking damn.
I don’t know why, but for some reason I feel like Matt Dahlgren is trolling about the 6 sfxt stages in the new sf4 version…as for the new character, someone from RS makes sense
Roxy or bust.
so way you’re saying is
Asura confirmed?
It does look lazy that all of them are from SxT but I’m happy for Elena and Hugo anyway. I hate Rolento, though: use of grenades and ropes feels so alien to SF. Ibuki and Eagle are the only characters that can pull it off without feeling cheap.
I really wanted to see another 3rd strike character (Oro, Q or Remy) as the fifth character but if it is new, my guess is that he / she is going to be blood related to an already existing one. From the top of my head:
A son or disciple of Gen
Chun li’s younger sister (expect fanservice to the maximum)
Eagle’s niece
Zangief’s brother or cousin who worked for the KGB in the past
I’m guessing Deadpool. He likes SF and asked Capcom to be in it. Though I’m not sure how guns would work.

I am very excited for the new update! Even though Rolento and Poison are ok at best I am very pumped for Elena and especially HUGO!!!
As for the 5th character… I am really sad that it isn’t Remy, but then again, I never really expect him to make it into another sf game. :((((((
I would really like Haggar and Gou Hibiki. But I doubt two grapplers would be added at the same time, and I thought Gou was dead? They would have to bring him back somehow (probably in a really lame way.) If I had to guess I would guess its a brand new character from a new nation.
SO excited for the new update!
Tom from Alex’s SF3 story leggo
Everyone knows it’s Scorpion. Why does everyone deny this? Scorpion has never been in an SF game and this sets up the SFvMK game coming out in the future…
Does anyone else want a new character that plays like the SFxT Mishimas? Would be an interesting addition to say the least. If SFxT showed anything, it was that people will definitely play that kind of character.
Dude, ewgf with kazuya was the only thing fun about that game.
I’d flock to a character like that in no time.
There is one restriction nobody seems to have brought up beyond “not been a playable SF character” and that we’ve probably seen him/her. It’s going to be a paid advertisement. Why would Capcom release a character for a five year-old game whose casual following has all but died? There’s no profit in it. They’d lose money. That’s why so much of this update has been recycled. This character is going to tie into another upcoming game. It will probably be one that hasn’t been announced, and the character will be very popular and bring hype. It will probably be a fighter, so this character can act as a sort of “preview.” This will draw in casuals, make it popular, and give publicity that brings in revenue immediately (as opposed to ads which have delayed profit). The character announcement comes toward the end of the year, and the game announcement will arrive around the time the character is available.
I don’t know what that game is, but if this assumption is correct it rules out almost everyone that’s been listed. Scorpion would make sense if it were a SFvMK game, but I find SFvMK rather unlikely. The two styles don’t mesh well. SFV is also unlikely; this would be advertising to only the hardcore fans who remain playing SSFIV, because all the popular characters are taken. I don’t know what the game is, much less who it is, but this is the character that Capcom wants to profit off of. The others are irrelevant fluff designed to make it seem like a much bigger expansion to casuals. Our first clue, really, should be “What’s in it for Capcom?” We’re starting off on the wrong foot with our speculations and likely wrong on all of them.
would kick so much ass if its someone from Rival Schools, especially Kyosuke, but it will probably be Haggar. sigh…
I’m going with Gou Hibiki. Doubt we’ll see a brand new model and he’d bring in good hype/discussion.
I highly doubt it, but it would be so fuckin hype to see a Power Stone character.
