"Execute." The Decapre thread

[SirMixahLot]

Does Capcom vs. SNK 2 technically count as the “Street Fighter” franchise?

If not I could see Eagle being in.

Same logic with UMVC3 and Haggar.

No, but Eagle’s in Alpha 3 Max on PSP and Alpha 3 Upper on Gameboy Advance.

[ilitirit]

It’s probably someone that was planned for UMvc3/SFxT/AE but never made it in because time/budget constraints.

Wasn’t their a rumour that Dr Octopus was supposed to be in MvC3? Maybe they take his model and reskinned him as a Capcom char?

Which of the Rival Schools chars have never been in SF?

[C_VICTOR]

The Udon costume pack kinda makes me think it’s someone out of the comics. I wouldn’t mind seeing Decapre.

Alex = Hulk Hogan.

Except if we take what they say very literally then the statement they made means that this character has been around and thus had a chance to be in a SF game, but just hasn’t yet. It’s awkward to say “hasn’t been in a SF game” about a character that doesn’t exist yet. As far as the rest of your reasoning goes how does that apply to Cody, Guy, Yun, Makoto, and Yang?

It’s kinda silly to really put a lot of thought into this, so I’ll just throw out one.

Gene from God Hand would seem to be a very logical guess. Lots of people wanted him in Marvel 3. He makes a lot of sense.

No, I don’t think the statement implies the character had a chance to be in a SF game but hasn’t. It does imply he or she has been around. I believe the exact wording is “This is a character that has never been in a Street Fighter before. It’s going to be a brand new character.” None of this implies the character could have been. OTOH, it could imply the character is completely new. Either way, I do suspect the character will be a tease for another game.

My reasoning doesn’t apply to them. They were released quite some time ago. SFIV was a year old then and pretty fresh, but it will be five years when this DLC comes. The question “How does Capcom intend to make a strong profit from a half decade old game whose casual following has died?” simply doesn’t have the same force as “How does Capcom profit from a popular game that is one year old?” does. Capcom isn’t doing this for fans. It wants money, so if we want to figure it out, then we should ask who Capcom would expect to be most profitable. Even if my model is wrong (and there’s a good chance it is), this is the single most important question unless the character is brand new. In that case, there’s no hope in figuring it out.

For my part, I’m not guessing too hard until I have more information (such as new game leaks). I’m just certain none of the guesses really work well yet. God Hand’s got enough following that if they wanted to do a sequel, inserting him would serve as a good advert.

hey I think you’re on to something.

Didn’t ono troll post something about bringing back darkstalkers or something on twitter in the last couple months? Can’t remember which game.

[scrubforever]

Wouldnt it be nice to be Kazuya or Jin ? Oh, gawd i can only dream its gonna be Asuka

[AzureXIII]

…

Motherfucker in the front like, “You’re already dead.”

I am really sad that it isn’t Remy, but then again, I never really expect him to make it into another sf game. :((((((

Member of the Remy Brotherhood sighted. Sadly, we’ll probably never see Remy again. I think he and Twelve are like the least acknowledged characters in all of SFIII.

[lovepig78]

Juni or Juli

maybe R. Mika or Karin

Sodom would be really cool, but Birdie would fail.

Charlie would be interesting.

URIEN!!!

[john4p]

I hope it’s either Dorai or Haggar.

Don’t want another shoto (Goutetsu or Go Hibiki).

[King9999]

Go Hibiki is an interesting guess, but if we take canon into account, he has no chance of appearing. Then again, Gouken is in the game…

My guess is Haggar.

[SirMixahLot]

So

The new stages:

Listing of stages in Ultra Street Fighter 4 that are being ported over from...

Jurassic Research Facility… Does NOT fit into Street Fighter by any stretch.
I wonder if this means the fifth character =

[Edgeman]

Ingrid from Capcom Fighting Evolution.

[SirMixahLot]

Ingrid from Capcom Fighting Evolution.

She was in Alpha Max, so she’s a no-go…
Though that said, I would be very happy with that decision.

[pietastic]

Fulgore, obvi.

[Nevermore]

I can’t possibly see it being Haggar. Not only because of the Zangief similarities (yeah, we really need a shotoclone scenario applied to grapplers, right?), but Zangief already has the Haggar outfit and because Hugo is also being brought over. Two grapplers out of five characters? Highly doubtful. The game doesn’t need any more grapplers as it is anyway.

[takinflight]

Jo Jo’bizzare character possibly

Cyloid a or b?

Fuck it grimloc…

Wait it’s gonna be Webagail McDuck…

Or wAit how about that fuckin hand in seths background in sf4… Sup wid dat shit?

[HNIC_Mike]

i dunno if i want haggar in SF. pipe would be way too OP

[d3v]

It’ll be Morrigan, and she’ll have a new move that can be used to cancel out of her Soul Fist called Hidden Missiles.

[Nevermore]

Or they could just Cody it up and have it in his ultra only. Not that I’m hoping for that character to begin with. To hell with all of these other additions, I just want Akuma’s pre-2012 appropriate music back. His current theme is completely nonsensical.
