Rumours, speculations and theories

Balrog is so derpy to me. I just don’t like him. I can handle him and understand he requires effort, but I just hate the character in general, from moves to design.

^Yup, I honestly wouldn’t even care if we never saw Balrog again. Just a bad, boring design, imo.

I don’t know what you guys are talking about. I don’t use Rog, but I love his design. I just don’t understand why he doesn’t have an ear biting super yet.

I mean more for his moves. His personality, is sort of funny. But his moveset and how he plays, so boring.

That’s true, but I think that is an unfortunate side affect of being a charge character. I find characters like Bison and Guile to be kinda boring too, even though theyre two of my favorites character-wise.

You and other people whining about too many SFIV characters need to fucking get over it. SFIV had 39 characters in the game which is the most for a SF entry, it also has most of the popular SF characters in it so of course a lot of fucking SFIV characters are going to be a SFxTK game, especially when the amount of SF entries is around 22-25. Even if they had redesigned the character models instead of reusing/retouching the SFIV models most of the announced cast would be exactly the same.

Get over it, they’re not going to include people like Eagle or Twelve with only around 25 slots for the entire fucking franchise.We already have one brand new character in a way with Poison, Rolento and Hugo rejoin the fray. The entire Tekken side is brand new to SF players which people ignore, most of them are better characters than random trash people would praise solely due to them not being in SFIV.

As for the people you mentioned.

Karin - Still a chance
Alex - Doubtful with so many grapplers already in game.
Elena - Still a chance
Urien - Still a chance
R.Mika - Is hinted at, may be a cameo but we’ll see.

The only complaint that I have is that out of the Street Fighter roster, all of the non-SF4 characters are Final Fight characters. There were other popular SF3 characters than Ibuki right? If they threw in one of those I’d have nothing to complain about. Actually, now that I know Vega’s in I’m pretty happy, because Vega is my favorite SSF4 character that actually had a chance of making it (unlike Hakan).

Street Fighter characters not in SF4 I’d like to see in SFxT, and my opinions as to if they will get in.

Hugo - Already happened
Elena - Doubtful
Q - No way
R.Mika - Probable
Sean - Doubtful

There really aren’t many characters not in SF4 that were even requested at all honestly. R.Mika, Elena, Karin, Urien probably being the only ones not already announced that have a want from the fans. They’re also the only ones that even have a chance, probably.

Did people ever actually want R. Mika? I feel like the only reason people ever mentioned her is because she’s supposedly Ono’s favorite or something.

:frowning:

Ingrid is pretty high on the wish list over on Unity.

I do.

no it’s because there isn’t enough white pussy in HD. people are getting tired of only cammy being the white piece of ass. so yeah, that’s why they also beg for Karin and R.Mika. needs moar white power! lots of fap material

Hey there stormfront. :blush:

Arent both R.Mika and Karin Japanese? :stuck_out_tongue:

So what are you guys expecting from NYCC? I think we’re going to hear about the release date there. Someone asked Ono when would the Vita version of SFxTK be released, and he said he would announce it in a few days. Probably going to happen at NYCC. http://twitter.com/#!/Yoshi_OnoChin/status/122299552026988544

I’m also expecting a ton of reveals at NYCC. From 4 to 6 on each side.

Blue outfit, white frills, blonde pigtail-thing… has to be Mika. Whether she’s a playable character or not is another matter… Man I will be so pissed if turns out to just be a model they made for a background cameo >.<

As to her shoulder being covered up there could be a multitude of reasons. Weird pose and/or camera angle, covered up more skin (they did it with Ibuki), screwed up the outfit/not finished, who knows.

  • 8 characters revealed, Rufus to finish his pairing with Zangief, Claw & Boxer pairing and than finally Juri. On the Tekken side Asuka and whoever, wouldn’t be surprised if Paul and Law were shown off, would be a good place to reveal them.
  • Chun Li & Cammy vs Asuka and Lili CGI Movie, seems to be the last big event to show off something like that.
  • Gem System explained.
  • Release Date
  • More tweaks to canceling specials from chains, Pandora, Cross Assault and dmg overall.
  • 2 new backgrounds

I almost forgot about that CGI. You’re right, we’re probably going to see it there.

Ono’s event is scheduled for 5:15 PM on friday. NYCC starts on the thursday, if the new build has the new characters, we’ll probably hear about it then.

Btw, is Capcom taking a SFxTK build to Seasons Beatings this weekend? Would be cool if they do.

I’m betting on 4 characters and a new CGI trailer. They’ve never revealed more than 4 characters at a time before, and I don’t think they’d skip over TGS and SDCC to do it an the smaller comic con.
