Rumours, speculations and theories

also if we are getting 4 characters a month like everyone is saying then chances are by the time that the game comes out in march…

we will have an an additional 24 characters (not counting march) with a total of 46… thats a lot

I personally do not think they will withhold roster members till the very last month before the games release.
I’d say all will be revealed (saved for secret characters that may exist) about a couple months before release.
Putting the roster close to 40

meh that is probably the more reasonable outcome, still hoping for at least 40+ characters

Please let it be Rufus and Alex as a team. PPLELEASEE!

Do they have anything in common at all?

I am still hoping for Jack to get in

Team Jack up with Bryan, team android

Bryan the loud-mouth Jack the silent-yet dangerous type

To be fair, the current possibility - Gief/Rufus - doesn’t make much sense either.

I think law will be Fei but with more combo options.

you do realise they are incorporating tekkens style into this game. law wont have rekkas, cw motion or anything of the sort, he will have his original command moves maybe a qcf move. Just look at Kazuyas strings. Dont just assume that because it’s bruce lee they will play identically etc

That’s true, but they do share trailer space together, something which Alex and Rufus don’t. Also, Strongest Fighter in America vs the Red Cyclone?

“For Mother Russia!”
"America sheds a tear!"
Just sayin’

Is anyone else liking the fact there’s gonna be loads of nationalities in this?

Already there’s Americans, Chinese, Canadians, Aussies, French, German etc

One thing that Tekken done better than Street Fighter was nationality variation, I hope for future Street Fighter titles, Capcom takes a few tips.

Unimportant details attached to a certain set of pixels in its context that you interpret yadda yadda yadda.

No he won’t have that, what you will probably see is roundhouses, ridiculous flips and sweeps along with DSS shenanigans.

I always forget Raven is Canadian.
As for my speculations, I expect Dictator to be in (still upset Akuma made umvc 3 instead of him). As a partner Claw makes the most sense,but you never know. Plus this game needs more evil capcom characters. As of right now they only have Rolento(who’s inclusion is an awesome thing,but he isn’t really too evil). Juri would work too.

As for tekken, no clue. But I hope for Feng,Lei,or Lee

This is a screen cap from the newest trailer we saw today. Does this mean the Panda from Tekken going to be in the game too?

Isn’t Panda and Bear just a palette swap in Tekken?

Pretty sure they are gonna save the Rufus “reveal” for NYCC

Remember how we got the Poison/Hugo vs. King/Marduk trailer at comic-con, but didn’t get a Hugo “reveal” till Gamescom in germany? yeah, just sayin

Funny trailer! So, Rufus will be Zangief’s partner? If so, R. Mika’s chances are small.

That’s pretty much possible, yes. Maybe they’ll give away Law too then at NYCC… Paul can join him later probably.

Panda, Idk. He plays pretty much the same as Kuma, no (don’t know this, haven’t played Tekken that much)? [S]And with who would Panda team up with?[/S] Xiaoyu most likely then.

Wow, I haven’t complained about anything until now. Rufus?! What the hell?! I thought he would be the one SF character to never appear again. What a serious waste of a spot. So R.Mika deconfirmed. Sodom probably is too. Just an awful, stupid choice.

Just because you don’t like him doesn’t mean it’s a waste of a spot.
I don’t really care for Rufus either, but I would never say he is a stupid choice because every Street Fighter or Tekken player has his own favorites and they have the right to request them and be happy about their announcement.

He’s only a stupid choice if he turns out to be Zangief’s partner.
