Is it me or is their a LACK of 3rd Strike & Alpha representatives
3rd Strike so far there is Ibuki ( I consider HUGO a FF a character) ONE if you don’t hugo
Alpha ??? Nobody unless you count the FF fighters ZERO if you don’t count the FF characters
Final Fight Poison, Hugo & Rolento THREE
SF4 Abel
SF2 everyone else unless you want to get technical and say Ryu, Ken and Sagat is from SF1
You do realize that the majority of Alpha’s cast was from either SF1, SF2 or Final Fight right?
Rose, Sakura, Karin, R mika, Charlie, Birdie at least two of them should make it in
Out of the Alpha pool Sakura, Karin, and R.Mika are the most likely. (Birdie isn’t an Alpha character btw)
guys i think rolento is ibuki’s partner, looking at the blur this is what i found
There’s also the reddish hue from Rolento’s hat in that picture.
Jeah… I thought we agreed from the start that it was Ibuki/Rolento.
Also, what’s the consensus on the new teasers? Lily and…Zangief?
ibuki and rolento is such a wierd team… still hoping for alex

So I’m looking at that picture Ono put up with the double meter, and I’ve been thinking: Could that have been intended the entire time, but was kept “hidden” this whole time as well?
Think about it, meter fills up easily, and the Cross Art costs you the entire meter for doing lots, and lots of damage. This would mean that fights could end ridiculously quick and would only require the partner character to show up when necessary. What if this required both characters to have a full meter? I think the costs would justify the damage and wouldn’t make the Cross Art centralizing.
Then there’s the Cross Assault. What if, like the health bars, the meters become one averaged meter?
I think the reason why they’ve been leaving it as is is to build hype for the game and to catch flaws. Since barely anyone in the public has gotten to sit down extensively with the game, no one has really found ways to manage/conserve meter the best, but Capcom cut the meter costs in essentially in half so people can see the stuff and that Capcom could tweak them.
Why arhave all the ‘new’ fighters only been from FF?
I still say it’s Geki 
Could be wrong but in my eyes, I see Akuma (with his back towards us, like he just did a Raging Demon). Kinda weird for a tag team though, I won’t claim my view is true.
The Zangief announcement was kinda meh, but this give R. Mika the chance to enter the fray. But if Capcom is in a recycling mood, they maybe team him up with E. Honda, which would ruin the fun IMO. Heck, I’d go and play SF2 till SSFIV:AE to play E. Honda. If Capcom is on a hype mood, maybe Alex can tag along with Zangief, although his overall chances to get in the game are very slim. R. Mika FTW! Can’t wait to see her boo… uhm MOVES in game. xD
Yeah, got that idea from you. I actually can’t unsee Geki now. So now I shall present to you guys, my TERRIBLE Paint skills xD
Blue: His Back
Red: His Arm
Black: His head/mask
Purple: (This one is a bit of a stretch) it’s a smokebomb he throws. In SF1 he teleports a lot. When he does so, he goes up into a puff of smoke.
We are looking at Geki from his back.
Here’s his sprite again:
And here’s the original pic Ono posted: http://oi51.tinypic.com/s6jel3.jpg
And I actually think it’s not Geki perse.
Geki isn’t a name, but a title. He’s a Ninja from the Geki clan. One of the Geki Ninjas defected and started his own clan
IBUKI’S CLAN
He could very well be the man who defected and started the clan himself. Or his son.
Ibuki/“Geki” could be SF’s side’s awnser to Tekken’s Raven/Yoshimitsu.
Team Ninja vs Team Ninja.
Street Fighter’s Ninja are traditional
Tekken’s Ninja are modern/futuristic
Throwing Geki in the game would be very random. And also very awesome.
Haha, wow ok
Now that I can’t see.
Strange tho how we both see Geki in this, but in a different way.
It’s all that purple really. If it turns out to be Rolento then no biggy, I can see it working as
Yoshi vs. Ibuki
Raven vs. Rolento
Ono is in San Francisco for 3 days. Wonder what came up? Does it have to do with that character poll he released on psn for Japan? Maybe he realized it was a big mistake leaving out Sakura? Who Knows
You still haven’t told anyone how you know who is and isn’t in the game already.
