"Execute." The Decapre thread

How about Nilin?

[Negative-Zer0]

I think its Demitri from Darkstalkers to promote the fourth entry in the series.

Daigo saying that he was maining him was mad suspect

But then they’d have to make new models for every character’s Midnight Bliss. I think it’s pretty obvious they wont do that lol.

[Missing_Person]

I’d love to see a new character, but Capcom’s not got a lot of nationalities left to explore.

Canada
Australia
Israel
Holland
Philippines

Those are the ones that I could think of that may reasonable enter. Or they could also go really really crazy and create a character from Antarctica.

[Eternal]

There has never been an eskimo fighter

jus sayin.

[rikc]

Even though they were in SFA3 Max, I’d like to see Maki or Ingrid.

I hate how much time I’ve already spent thinking about this

I don’t really care for Ingrid in terms of “Street Fighter” her personality/character design/gameplay doesn’t feel Street Fighter to me. THAT BEING SAID I think that if they make a CvS3 game they should put Ingrid in because she DOES seem A LOT like a KOF character. Ingrid vs Athena seems like a perfect rivalry.

Hmmm, a new character of new nationality would be nice. Let’s get a fighting scotsman!

A Scotsman’s nationality is British and there’s a few of them in Street Fighter. We need a Canadian or an Australian!
In the mean time get it out your heads.
It’s not going to be Asura.
It’s not going to be a Rival Schools Character.
It’s not going to be a Final Fight character.
It’s not going to be from any other Capcom and Franchise but completely new. It’s an ORIGINAL character ffs!

Generally speaking, Scots only are British by law. Most scots don’t identify as British despite the technicality. It’s sort of like the opposite of Puerto Rico where a lot (but certainly not all) PRs would like to be known as American as they are TECHNICALLY american by law. Scots prefer to be known as scottish rather than british in most cases.

Source: I’m half scottish with A LOT of scottish family members.

The crux of the argument was nationality and a Scotman’s nationality is British. I’m not here to debate nationality, but I’d like to see more nationalities outside of the British Isles and Western Europe. With Hugo, Abel, Dudley, Cammy and Vega (claw) that’s Germany, France, UK and Spain in the one game.

As I said give us a Canuck or Aussie, I will be a happy bunny.

Just so you know, calling an English, Scottish or Welsh person ‘British’ is just as insulting to us as calling a Canadian ‘American’

Juni or Juli

maybe R. Mika or Karin

Sodom would be really cool, but Birdie would fail.

Charlie would be interesting.

URIEN!!!

Which part of “NEVER BEEN IN A SF GAME” don’t you understand?

[Shinrahunter]

I’m 100% certain this character will be Haggar. I like Poison but the other characters don’t interest me at all.
I’d love if it was completely new character but I highly doubt that.
Rival Schools has such a fan following that it would make sense to bring someone over, my choice would be Akira.
Felicia or Morrigan would be nice to tie it to the next Darkstalkers game too.

[nothing]

I wish it were Urien or Oro, especially Oro. He’s never gotten any love outside of SF3. I’ve got to assume that it’s a Rival Schools character

[REALPLAYER]

no matter who it is, its likely gonna be a character that will be promotional segway for a future (next gen) title. that can be a myriad of different characters. eagle is definitely not one of those options since he was in sf1. maybe captain commando for a CapCom reboot (just kidding). keep in mind capcom not too long ago registered their “fighters of capcom” trademark. so he/she could be a tie-in to that as well.

[KitL19]

Daigo. He will have no focus attack just parries. And renamed to Gaido Hameura! Complete with a sad background of when he used to be the king. He’ll have fans on his win screen. And every character will say he doesn’t seem motivated when they beat him

[Killer_Jigglypuff]

That one creepy Japanese pervert from MSH v SF. It’s so obvious. What was his name…Norimaru, I think…?

[SirMixahLot]

I hope it’s not Demitri, Morrigan, or Haggar. Why? We have enough shotos and grapplers. The ONLY grappler I’d be cool with is Mika, but she’s out of the question.

I really feel like the only options for this… (listed in order of what I think is most likely to least likely)

• Morrigan: Same as Batsu, but we have enough shotos, and unless they toned her supers down a bunch (e.g. a Raging Demon that hits in the air? or a fireball super that fills up the whole screen? Or how about a useless full-screen, blockable grab super? GTFO)… Besides, she’s super popular.
• Haggar: Model exists, and unless they change his moves up, he’s essentially a Gief clone. They’d hopefully take his pipe out, or make it smaller, as in no bigger than Rolento’s staff. That said, they could make him LESS grappler-like, and more Alex/Abel like, where he’s a combo power character with throws.
• Batsu: He’s never been in a SF game, they have a model for him as a starting ground, that they could tone up to fit SF better, his moves fit in well.
• Felicia: Model exists, moves fit in well, and her supers in DS aren’t stupid to input, so you can easily transfer to SF.
• Hsien Ko: Model exists, but her moves are asshole for SF… An air walk? GTFO, that’s OP already. Besides, the DS images don’t fit at all into SF. Then again, neither does the Cosmic Elevator or Jurassic Research Facility.
• Some random Tekken character, as they have models and it could promote TxSF.

Also, Capcom has a lot of random fighting game IPs that haven’t been touched in a long time. Batsu is an example, but with Project Justice, a game that has a lot of options, e.g. Hinata, Hyo, and a few I can’t remember (the nurse, the teacher that was basically Akuma, the fat dude…, you also have Power Stone, Star Gladiator/Plasma Sword, Cyberbots (Devilotte maybe? Jin?), and the plethora of random characters put into MvC2 and MvC1 assists. Don’t forget too, you have other random games as well. Don’t count out random characters from games like Black Tiger just yet.

[Lethiros]

Only even mentioning this one because he was in a capcom fighting game before. It’s highly unlikely but hah.

[SirMixahLot]

Who is that?

[canicus]

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.

Sounds reasonable and probably close to the ballpark to me. If it’s not that, it’ll be another fighting game using characters that already exist and we know. They’ll drop more hints in the future.

[Lethiros]

Who is that?

He happens to be a certain bizarre character by the name of Joseph.

[beesuit]

Joseph Joestar from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures.

[Genistar]

What about these characters?
Dorai
Hibiki
Batsu
Noemblu
Retsu
Karate Clown (He was close to making it to super street fighter 4)
Sarai (She already has a character model in the background of sfxt along with haggar.)
King Cobra (Already has a character design and they can use ken’s alt for him as well.)
