New guy could be New Zealand:
Weird scars/mark on his face might be Maori reference.

Dreadlocks can account to a tribal background.
You can see a tribal drum behind him in the last picture:
Ryu, Ken and Birdie = SF1
Chun, Cammy, Bison = SF2
Charlie = SFA
The roster is starting to fall into place.
but they were all in Alpha alsoā¦
Talking about first appearance wise.
But debuted in different series, thatās what matters
R. Mika and Karin are also from Alpha along Charlie
Then we get Alex, Urien andā¦Oro? = SF3 series
Then Juri, Abel, maybe Viper? = SF4 series
Then new characters = about 20-22 chars at launch
Iām not disagreeing with you, just stating what the overall connection is.
Oh, I see. Itās like like a clash of Alpha vs. New Generation.
I wonder if everyone here will be OK if:
[list]
[] Makoto
[] Dudley
[*] Ibuki
[/list]
Donāt come back for Street Fighter V.
I will miss Dudley as great chara design, 10 times more if we donāt get a boxer character
Iām in the ball park where I think/hope itās a new characters to offset most of the SFI/II cast thus far. But the character could be Gouki without the Satsui No Hadou power, which might explain the lack of red eyes and dark skin. And if thatās the case, his V-Trigger would probably be Satsui no Hadou, where he does gain the red eyes, dark skin, and pulsing red aura. I really hope not since Ken is in there (not complaining because Iām proud Capcom made serious modification to him.
well time will tell. Iām thinking it canāt be in between Alpha and 2, or 2 and 4, since Guileās SF4 ending suggests Guile thinks heās either missing or dead. And 4 takes place after 2 but before 3.

Seriously. I donāt care about Makoto or Ibuki (especially Ibukiā¦ughā¦) but would love to have Dudley as a core member of the roster.
All of them are godlike. I used to be a huge Ibuki fan, but then I fell in love with my Russian boyfriend and stopped using here. Dudley is the baddest black dude in games and Makoto walks slow. All of them are awesome in their own way.
Dudley would be a great fit, but honestly the more non sfiv characters the better for me, so Iām fine if they donāt get in.
Hopefully DLC waves will bring him to SFV at some point
Him, Claw, Cody, Sagat, Guile, maybe Yun
And Zangief if he isānt already in standard cast
Oh boy! I canāt wait for Fei to come back. Maybe heāll be in the fifth season of dlc if it makes it that far 
While I agree that Dudley is a total bad ass, I always saw him as being Indian rather than black.
gay
There is a 95% change those specific characters wonāt be in this game.
A late DLC wave featuring Yun and Yang as adults with really different fighting styles like a new Ryu/Ken is something I could totally get behind.
