I thought the bosses in MK9 were intended to be playable but later scrapped due to the jumping animations/mechanics. I’ve seen hacked versions where they have not just move lists but names for the moves as well along with names for their fatalities in the fatality trainer. Not saying you’re wrong, but I do think the intention was initially there of them being playable.
You can play as a them in the challenge tower with out cheats, well goro, I remember playing as him.
Of course they have movelists and names for there stuff, they don’t create bosses any differently then normal characters, and they need to be playable for testers to test there shit, so there not broken.
Its easy to tell they were never intended to be playable just by looking at there moves, each one only has one combo string, and all of there specials are just random and have no synergy with each other, and you can’t even throw them. They were just designed to be cheap fuckers. None of them are any fun to play as.
Don’t matter who these reveals are. All the cool kids would pick Batman and SuperMan and have their debates decided in a fighting simulation
This news…it pleases me greatly.
Raven is getting like a mini series comic by DC I believe so her being in here could be DC’s way of pushing new characters. I’m just glad that NRS gets to use her classic costume instead of that terrible New 52 costume they designed.
Raven getting another mini? Sweet. I hope it’s better then the first one because that one was terrible. It better not have “emo series” splattered on the cover this time.
Am I the only one who thinks that Boon’s line about “some characters in story mode might not be playable” is probably referring to someone like Lois Lane or Krypto or something? I just don’t see any reason to believe that with all this commotion and a deliberate namedrop like the magazine listed that Raven isn’t in the game at this point.
Better music for this point in the thread:

Also, Krypto for DLC plz.
Making the 3D model is like 5% of the work in creating a character. You have to design a move set, program moves, animate every move, create hit boxes, probably create an alternate costume or two, record voices and sound effects, not to mention test everything for months.
Imagine the opposite; ONLY characters who are playable and have a complete moveset can appear in the story mode. Want to see a cameo by someone who’s not playable in the game? Nope, sorry, spending a week making that model of Plastic Man is a “waste”, because they didn’t want to spend 4 months making him a playable character. That’s like saying it’s bullshit that Blanka’s mom appears in his SF2 ending without being playable, “oh man, I can’t believe they wasted those sprites and then not make her playable!”.
If there’s a character I like, I would prefer a story mode cameo over them not appearing at all.
More chance of getting Bat hound as DLC.
I understand where you’re coming from but I didnt mean it to be that literal. What im talking about is it the “IDEA” is there Id bet playing Raven would be kick ass than just Blankas Mom. No offense Moms are cool.
This game needs more Krypto the Super Dog. I freakin loved that show 
Well, sure. But I could take any other example, like Dante appearing in Jedah’s CFJ ending, Psylocke appearing in Cammy’s XvSF ending, or Edi.E appeaing in one of Cody’s SFZ3 winposes. The point I’m trying to make is that a lot of people seem to think it’s crazy that NRS would put a character in story mode without making them a full, playable character. Of course a lot of the characters mentioned in this discussion would make great characters, and I too think it’s likely that most if not all of them will be, but just because they would make good playable characters doesn’t necessarily make it a foregone conclusion.
One might even argue that it would be wasteful to try to tell an “epic” story, only using the 24 or so characters on the game’s roster.
Is it possible to mod a Xbox 360 Street fighter 4 tournament edition stick to work on the Wii U and still work the Xbox 360?

This thread is sad…all this talk about characters and we still have yet to see any footage of most of them. At this point I wouldn’t be shocked if the release trailers all came out the week after the game drops!
NRS is so good at so many aspects when it comes to design and PR…yet they are so terribly bad at previews and such. I mean come on, you don’t have to go the full Capcom MvC3 monte and shit when it comes to that but give us SOMETHING.
I feel like bart when he was at camp krusty rocking himself to sleep at night in a deluded trance that krusty would be there soon…I keep thinking"this is the day we get a trailer"and the fucked up thing is I keep on deluding myself to just holding out just more day in hopes we would get SOMETHING!!!
You’d think they’d learn their lesson from MK9…guess not. I don’t want shit to go down where we don’t even know some of the characters by release (or you know, leaked release aka a week or two before the official release).
Boon likes the good ol’ days when players would discover secrets when the game came out and generally kept in the dark. I personally don’t have the time for that shit. Tell me what I need to know to retain interest in your game Boon!
What I really don’t get is why he isn’t showing us some kind of gameplay, even if its a low quality vid with a shaky camera its better than nothing.
I wouldn’t care if every vid was Batman vs Batman, i’d still watch them all.
