At around 1:31, we can see a green gem glowing on Charlie’s forehead.
Urien & Gill has that same green colored gem on their forehead.

So, either the Illuminati found Charlie alive and brainwashed him or they revived him. Shadoloo vs. Illuminati confrontation?!
Dat Genocide Cuttah at 0:46 tho.
I didn’t have a chance to see it before I posted. The ESPN from Wil destroyed my browser.
It seems a lot of people are split on which visual style is the preferred one. The new style is more cartoony due to the lighting and shading, which makes the characters “pop” more from the background and their sillhouette’s during gameplay are easier to read. The older style was more subdued and imo more “realistic and gritty.” The models and texures are better in the newer one. By the way, i prefer the celshaded-ish style, but i like them both.
If Capcom is able to have “filters” as a setting then i can imagine people will easily be satisfied because of this.
Also, and this has been a staple in the SF series, the hand and feet of the characters are humongous, it is a stylistic choice ofcourse, and it might even help recognize differing normals during gameplay, but honestly it looks wierd, they should tone it down somewhat.
Got to page 4 and can finally breathe again. Can a mod clean up page 3? It’s either the HD gifs or some HD pictures just sludging up my CPU. Anyway, I’m stoked on the reveal. I just hope Capcom removes those staples/stitches and gave him more of a skin grafted look. Like subtly disfigured, perhaps make him less recognizable. Like why does he still have that cool hair? And why does he still wear glasses? Shouldn’t his vision be better now that he’s undead? Anyway, I’m counting on him still being a charge character for the sake of balance, maybe make him a hybrid.
dat rugal kick swaggg 
Offending GIF removed and Wil given a warning.
Not surprised Bison is back. Why bring him back for one game (SF4) then cut him? Charlie…hmmmmm I feel as though Shadaloo and the illumanti are working together (Bison’s pretends to work with the illumanti then backstabs them later on). Since Charlie’s teleports resemble that of decapre and the gem resembles that of illumanti…
And those boom teleport mix-ups…don’t look very safe. They seem to have quite a bit of recovery. Hmmmmmmmmm right now this looks to be a good match-up for Juri. And his teleport seems to have air direction switches allowing (so far) for ambiguous cross-ups or fake cross-ups. His super seems to have range, I’m guessing…10-15 frame start-up. Wonder if it’s an unblockable…
Also Charlie’s Jumping fierce seems to have quite a big hitbox. It seems to extend past his hand. Either that or Chun’s hurtbox is bigger.
He also seems to borrow ibuki’s (what’s that kick special called where she kicks rapidly and it can go low?), it’s just preformed a little differently slower.
I’m hoping Juri is the last character revealed.
I don’t know if the teleports are good or not. Low recovery is the whole points of sonic booms in order to follow them with extra pressure. I would love to have legit pressure from both sides but if they somehow get nerfed because of the need of flashy teleports then screw it.
Hell yes the airbore inverted teleport! I hope at least one of the variants has float properties or invincibility such as it beats DPs consistently (yes, it should be unsafe on block and noncomboable to balance it out).
However, that Dictator reveal almost kills the hype. Unless he dies once and for all in this game, the net effect is that the new boss will be downplayed yet again since Dictator will be on his role of “everything is part of my plan and at the end of game I kill, steal the new puny boss powers and maybe transfer my soul to his body OMG you weren’t expecting it at all”. Let’s hope Capcom it’s not that predictable.
Does anyone know who the voice actor is for Charlie? Doesn’t sound like the guy from Alpha series or the anime.
For the teleports. There seemed to be a bit of a delay when he teleported after his boom against chun. After the teleport (chun was idle the whole time) it seemed as though she would have enough time to do something and punish charlie easily and evade the boom. The boom teleport also looked like a cancel. I’m willing to bet that. I’m also willing to bet that his booms won’t have quick recovery like guile’s nor the quick start-up, since he’s aimed to be more aggressive unlike guile. And no doubt teleport is a motion move (charge teleport would be dumb) and it seems he has a few target combo’s as well.
Back to the boom’s…I wonder if they will be + on hit and block like guile’s…maybe. I bet charlie’s reversal game won’t be super good though.
As for Bison. As long as Juri gets to fight and kill him then I’m good. I don’t want the good guys stealing the spotlight. Feel free to watch.
I don’t do jap voices but it does sound familiar…then again lots of voices in JPN kinda the same…
This game looks like ass look at ugly outline on the graphics now vs before is not even noticeable. The new lighting makes the game look more cartoony with more light/strong colors. I liked the dark more realistic looked it had before, you fucked it up Capcom.
this might be running on actual PS4 hardware that could explain the graphics downgrade
Meh.
Fucking Decapre bs character.
Wait, so that characters actually standing out from the backgrounds now is a bad thing?
I think the teleports will expend some Super gauge.
Still looks a loooot better than SFIV
Hope so. I hate these gimmicky characters that look like they come from an anime fighter.
His death was never completely confirmed. And there have been implications that he was still alive this whole time.
