Ono's Riddle

New SSFIV DLC characters. Probably just a new fancy trailer with different art panel filters just like how SSFIV trailer suddenly had this cross hatching pencil stencil effect. Maybe this new one is more ink and water color based art filter trailer with Rolento and co!

SF1 with the new engine would be brilliant but Ryu’s got a red headband there like said before.

Im not saying it is SF5 but just because “it would piss off fans” isnt the best reason to dismiss it. He did mention the next SF game would come out much quicker this time. He also said this feeling reminds me of the UK Press Event October 2007. I recall that being when he first showed an in-game shot of SF4.

He’s got the trailer ready. Im guessing its not extra DLC costumes haha. We’ll see what happens. This speculation is fun, given that it lives up to the hype. I fear for Ono that it doesnt live up to the hype.

I completely agree on the EX point. Despite contrary beliefs, I actually really enjoyed the EX series and would love for it to be rejuvenated (although I don’t think it will as Capcom do not have the rights to the characters in that game). I believe that the series (along with SF3) were not such economical successes in comparison to SF2 and 4 because they had TOO MANY new characters that people didn’t familiarise with. Maybe a 3D version of SF 1 can work as most people are now familiar with a lot of the SF1 characters such as Gen, Birdie, Adon etc. I cant recall a good 3D fighter with projectiles…

Well “piss fans off” was a quick explanation to what I meant. I don’t think that announcing SF5 so soon after releasing SSF4 will be a good idea, especially as SSF4 sales are still strong. Maybe they will announce it, I don’t know but we can speculate all day and be completely off the mark lol. Just praying that it’s something interesting and not DLC or anything like that.

Only thing that fits the bill is Namco VS Capcom, so I’m going with that.

Me too. I don’t want it to just be DLC for “SSFIV”. I hope we get a revamp of an old “cult classic”.

Why do you think that? I’m just curious. No dissing just asking for you to elaborate a little. This is a discussion. We’re trying to figure this out. Any clues to why you think that?

Well didn’t SFIV have the cross hatch shading effect? Are you saying you think it’s just going to be character add-ons?

figure what out? Why don’t you just fucking wait instead of this blind theorizing?

Its not like knowing what he’s coming out with (even if it were somehow possible) helps you get the product quicker or something.

My analysis of the Clues. Ono-san is really good at giving clues to another clue. Stating that, I think that the controllers mean that the game that would probably hint to what’s in production is on 2 consoles (PS3/Xbox) I wanted to take note in the Macbook being in the picture too not sure if it’s related. The pic of Ryu to me means that it’s based off a “SF” game, or it’s either that Ryu was in the game (leaning on cross-overs like Pocket fighter, Puzzle Fighter, MvC, CvS), or the obvious that Ryu is going to be in the upcoming release, and then if you notice doesn’t that look like Evil Ryu? Could Evil Ryu pop up in SSFIV or could it be that they are continuing Alpha ( I just thought about that as Im typing)? The water mark in the other picture isn’t really clear to me either, could that symbolize the style of the game, and how it’s going to look? That’s all I got so far more break down to come…

1st off don’t cuss at me. I’m not your brother or child. If you don’t care about the topic. Don’t read the thread. 2nd I like solving riddles and no I wont get it quicker, but knowing is part of the excitement. So go herd some cattle or something. Also don’t say anything else to me. If you do I’m not even going to egg this on. Obviously we are having a discussion about this whether you approve or not. So please if you don’t care about what’s being talked about. Then just don’t even view the thread. Hide it on your hub or something.

This. He said once we heard about it, we’d want to buy it. The only thing that could make me want to do that is SF5/CvS3/DS. And I doubt it’s either of the last two.

Somebody said it’s SSF4 for PC, but I doubt that. This seems much bigger than that.

Now what’s interesting about you saying that is. I was wondering could it be SSFIV for Mac? My reason behind this is the fact that he took the picture of the Mac with the two pads on it.

What fighting games are with namco other than tekken again?

To solve a riddle, there needs to be a riddle to begin with.

Good ?. Idk off tops. Might have to look into that. Did they make battle arena toshinden? Remember that game?

Oh shit soul calibre charatcers!

“To solve a riddle, there needs to be a riddle to begin with”. Look it’s walking proverb.

Of course, so I take it you haven’t seen the picture clue to the game? If Ono-san isn’t presenting a riddle by giving clues to the game, then maybe I should go look up what a riddle is; but I’m sure this is a riddle in a shape or fashion. That being said the riddle is “what game am I going to make next” ?

I forgot Namco made “SC”. Still you have think about projectiles. “SF” is a projectile type game. What projectiles are in “SC”?

Not everyone has a projectile… Gief, alex, adon, rufus etc. A soul calibre character would be kinda like playing a billy kane, eagle, vega etc
