Yea but i after one event ono said the the roster is about half revealed. A little over or a little under. I think that was in July event. Anything over 40 is wishful thinking.
Bingo.
The sad truth is why put in a character where additional contracts, paperwork, money for royalties, etc are needed, when there are dozens of other characters that can be easily added to the game. A licensed character will automatically go to the bottom of the list, and it takes fan demand to push them higher. For Strider’s case in UMvC3, the fan demand for him was overwhelming. If you really want to see Karin in a future fighting game, you really have to step up the efforts. Overload Ono’s Twitter if that’s what it takes.
Really ? IIRC Lemres asked Udon Comics about this and they answered this:
Well to be fair, Udon did say "as far as they know". They’re not the ones making the game so they could be left out of the loop as well. And plus the licensing issue with Karin for use in the Udon comics is probably an entirely seperate matter to Capcom and their use of her in one of their games.
If true then it’d be rather disappointing to know that the effort was made to negotiate for Evil Ryu but they didn’t bother to do the same for Karin even though they were both in the same boat. Despite this, I’ll still keep my fingers crossed for Karin till the very end though. There’s been no offical confirmation/disconfirmation for her just yet so there could still be a chance!
@ Oracle since you been on a roll what do you think of elena’s chances so i can move on lol.
But remember this is Ono we’re talking about. There have been times where he gives “false leads”. Just take everything he says with a grain of salt.
On a roll? he hasn’t predicted anything? >.<
I think people are more concerned about him knowing more than we know or him being an insider. I don’t believe it though. I don’t think there’s any chance Karin won’t be in this. She’s been highly demanded ever since SF4. Plus when I heard “characters that weren’t in SF4 will be in this,” Karin was the first character that popped in my mind and I’m sure the same can be said for other posters on this forum. If Oracle can provide something more substantial about the rest of the game (i.e. names of the supers for Rolento or say Cody), then I’ll eat crow.
Hmm ‘that seems’ huh? Are you hinting at Sodom? Rolento looks pretty lonely in your sentence…lol
Well if they will add all the high demanded characters than we can expect Elena and Karin. From my understanding top Where poison, hugo,rolento(ono-san’s favorite),karin and r mika(ono-san’s favorite also) that didn’t make it on the ssf4 roster. So far we got 3 out of 6. I beileve capcom generosity stops at 4.
I’m still in doubt about Elena though because of Rolento being Ibuki’s partner. So I say karin and R mika has a 75% chance of getting in than Elena
Saying too much would be a lot like opening pandora’s box.
There are probably a few more wacky pairings in the game.
I’m pretty sure oracle does know some things we don’t know. He said with 100% certainty that Ibuki’s partner was going to be a FF male that wasn’t in SF4 (rolento) and he’s as good as confirmed. We really can’t expect him to say too much more because I’m sure he can’t just say whatever he wants.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m just gonna sit and wait until he provides us with more info (if he does)since it seems at least somewhat reliable.
So you don’t know for sure? I’m pretty sure you can tell us since your not giving away any characters.
I love these Easter egg hunts and these clues we got to decipher. Gives us something to talk about and it’s just enough where we’ll always want more. Oracle was spot on with the FF clue w/Rolento as what now seems to be Ibuki’s partner but there were others spotting him in the splash which I figured were just trolls/shots in the dark. I’ll play along though. More wacky pairings in response to Elena… hmmm= Elena and Sodom. So obvious now. 
j/k Oracle’s clue does suggest Elena’s got a good chance, but with already more than enough FF character means no Sodom.
Just to comment on something I read a few pages back…
Banjo - Kazooie would make a better guest character than anyone from Halo or Gears of War IMO. Just saying. Plenty of crazy shit to draw from for a move list like shooting ice/fire/grenade eggs, Banjo slinging Kazooie around by the feet to melee ect. Also a Spiral Mountain stage. I finally beat Banjo Tooie a few days ago so the characters are pretty fresh in my mind right now, I think they are just stupid enough to work. But I don’t think Microsoft has expressed interest in adding an exclusive character, have they? Hope this isn’t MK9 all over again.
Anyway, if they were to add Geki wouldn’t they pretty much need to redesign him from the ground up since he hasn’t been seen since SF1? What did he do in that game besides throw stars?
Wasn’t Poison more or less designed from the ground up?
She had a planned moveset for Capcom Fighting All Stars. I’m not sure if they used any elements from it for this title or not though.
Not trying to discredit Oracle at all but just wanted to reiterate Doopliss’ point here. Before we start putting anymore weight on what Oracle is telling us, we really do need to wait for more official information so we can start verifying the credibility of them statements.
I believe she actually is using bits of her CFAS moveset.
Personally, I’d just rather we make posting leaks an infractable offense. Just like how it was in the MvC3 forum.
lol, well you’re the one in control of the hit stick, so pretty much your call i guess.
I kinda think it’s alright as long as the leak/rumour isn’t purposefully mis-leading for the sake of trolling. But the issue is, you really can’t confirm if it is or isn’t an authentic leak. This is what i guess the banning would probably aim to get rid off altogether.
