Don would be crazy awesome. First, raccoons in Marvel, and now possibly raccoon dogs/taunki in Street Fighter. Only thing is, I think he’s in Ibuki’s art on the website so probably not. Would be a huge twist though.
My body is ready for Elena Any news on that?
You know the chances of Sodom being in the game are pretty high right?
Do any of you guys think Bryan Fury might make the cut? Dont know who would be his partner maybe bruce, but as much as i want him in the game, i feel its a super long shot…
Not really. By that logic, El Fuerte and Alex have high chances because they have billboards in the game. I don’t think these little cameos are in no way indicative of their inclusion or exclusion.
um how do you know this?
You can also extend it to include E.Honda and Blanka on the trucks as well. But while i agree with this train of thought, I still don’t think Sodom should be discounted just yet because he has both a sign cameo along with his truck stage.
Sodom has a higher chance than Fuerte and Alex because…
1/ He would be the logical partner for Rolento
2/ His alpha stage
3/ His name on the wall in the CGI Movie
Knowing Sodom’s back story. That E.Honda truck is probably Sodoms. He is literally obsessed with the man.
Sodom, rolento, elena, Rmika and karin all have the best chances of being capcom characters that make it in.
There is no proof of what he is saying anywhere.
Hm… now that you mention it, if Capcom was really lazy they could probably get away with E.Honda/Sodom instead of Rolento/Sodom like everyone is expecting. “Fuck it, we’ll just reuse another SF4 model/character” I sure hope as hell not though… =/
I don’t think 1/ really counts unless I’ve missed some major Rolento annoucement. If anything Rolento would be the one piggy-backing off of Sodom to get in the game at the moment. The same point still gets across either way so yea a slight nitpick, i know lol.
Also from the general discussion thread:
What do you guys think? And where can we find a reference to this eventhubs post anyway?
I personally think it’s a crock a shit. What sort of licensing issues could there be? I don’t think it’d be the UDON comics since there’s an Ibuki one and she still found her way into SFxT regardless (and hell Karin isn’t even the main focus, she just shows up as part of Sakura’s one).
If Karin really doesn’t make it in then that’s going to be a massive disappointment.
The Post is in this thread http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/aug/26/new-street-fighter-x-tekken-announcements-tokyo-game-show/ post #11 by Utsusemi. The issues i think are because of the origin of Karin. She was originally a character from the Street Fighter manga Sakura Ganbaru! but her character would be integrated into the video game series starting in Street Fighter Alpha 3 where she appears as a playable character.
Street Fighter: Sakura Ganbaru! (さくら がんばる! Sakura Ganbaru!, “Sakura Gives it Her Best!”) is a manga series written and illustrated by Masahiko Nakahira. n-masahiko@sag.bekkoame.ne.jp The story follows Sakura Kasugano in her quest to become a street fighter and meet Ryu.
The same happend with Strider in MvC3. If Karin is not in the game that kills all hype for me.
But Strider is now in MvC so hopefully they could make things work with Karin. Please capcom!
I don’t care for Karin too much. But I’d be crazy to say she wasn’t the most requested character for SFxT besides Poison. I would like to think she was on the top of the “Not in SF4, but we’ll put in SFxT” list.
To be specific it was Poison, Hugo, Karin, Elena & Rolento that were runner ups. Hugo Cameo in ssf4, Karin in Sakura’s win quotes and Sven saying Elena missing the ssf4 roster by one spot( I smell bull shit on the last one) i wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t make it in but i’ll be surprised if the do make it in lolol
Now that i think about it, there weren’t any licensing problems with her when she was in Capcom Fighting Jam and Namco x Capcom, so SFxT shouldn’t be any different.
^ Those were older games though, maybe Capcom’s license on Karin might’ve ran out by now…
Thanks for that.
EDIT: According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masahiko_Nakahira
Evil Ryu was also another Nakahira original character. If Capcom managed to get him into SF4 (and probably SFxT) then they should be able to get Karin in as well. Unless for some reason Karin and the Sakura Ganbaru manga has a shitton of extra redtape to deal with.
Karins still fits well as a streetfighter or tekken character. It would be ashame to have elena and no Christie or eddy. Which I don’t think will happen. I’d love to see makoto with chain specials and tags.
No boxer kinda upsets me, but I guess they are trying to go for a bunch of different styles.
So that’s why I feel like rolento, karin, elena/makoto, sodom r mika all have strong chances. Add to the fact that alot of those characters have been heavily requested. Seems like gold…but this capcom
Akuma is pretty much sure to be in… but who may he be coupled to? The only character that would really make sense is Evil Ryu but I do hope he won’t be included… the only other character I can think of is Oro. However he is not that popular… oh, well, I guess in the end Capcom will not care at all of the SF canon and show Akuma with some other character that just sells the game.
Oh, I forgot… also Akuma and Dan would be nice! Father and son!
