I wanna know what’s up with Alex not being in SSF4AE? The supposedly main character from Street Fighter 3 not appearing in Street Fighter 4 is so odd and bizarre
how much you want to bet that we dont get alex hugo or karin, or anymore characters that were actually asked for in ae because theyre saving them for sf x tekken so more people will buy the game. and instead we get 4 clones which cost little to no money or time to make.and judging by the way capcom handles business i wouldnt be surprised if this were true. and considering the sf roster in sf x tekken is only people from vanilla minus a few(according to the leak list which has proven true so far) they would really need those really sought after characters to sell that sack of shit.so in the end ae gets shafted for sfx tekken. i mean why charge a couple bucks for character dlc when you can charge 60?
No I dont think so.
I am sick of reading stuff about how AE needs to be patched already. Fucking scrubs screaming about Yun and Fei Long is retarded.
exactly, I let Yun and Yang slide because they were in Chun Li’s prologue in Vanilla SF4 and Chun Li’s ending in Super SF4 Evil Ryu and Oni Akuma were weak, I hope the last 2 will be worth it and I do hope it’s Alex and mabe Hugo, Urien or Sean
The character select screen looks kinda odd now. I think there are 2 more characters coming.
I like how everyone is like, be happy we got 4 new characters. When in fact, we got one new. Yun or Yang. The merge of the two. Just like E.Ryu and Oni Akuma are way to similar to existing shotos. Extreemly boring characters, it wouldnt make a difference if they wherent added. Perhaps, it would even be better if they werent.
You can always tell who hasn’t actually played AE (and/or 3S). 
I can understand if people think E. Ryu is a little…derivative, shall we say, but Oni? Almost everything he has is brand new.
^My day is actually ruined now.
Ah well, hopefully we can see characters like Alex,Q,Hugo,Rolento and Karin in SFxT.
I think 35 characters is enough, Its a huge ass roster.
^I think so too.But at the same time I think Capcom missed the ball when they were adding characters to AE.Yun and Yang were definitely not requested as much as Alex and Rolento.Thats why I’m gonna hound them until that original wish comes true.
Dude, reading people’s comments about them crying that the DLC is too expensive, that they are boycotting because Karin isnt in, that Yun is OP so they are boycotting this, etc etc etc. It makes me sick. Shut the hell up, and let us who actually dont blow our money on twinkies and ugly clothing enjoy this fine product.
Also, I am really glad to see that they are not adding anything more to AE for console. I want the arcade and console versions, to finally be exactly the same so we can all unite in terms of SFIV version.
No reason to unite under the worst installment.
Believe it or not, me and a friend explored the SSF4AE hard drive from the typeX² arcade machine. One of the file is named “DLC” which already contain Yun, Yang, Oni and E.Ryu file.
I suppose that the DLC file might be reserved for additional content in the future, maybe for new costumes and why not new characters.
It’s still a pure speculation, but this DLC file might no be in the game’s hard drive for nothing…
Interesting.
If everything dealing with AE was already revealed don’t you find it strange that they would announce everything over a month before the games release? 1 month with Nothing to promote the release? or maybe they will be last minute hype builders.
I gotta agree with VanCity. In the weeks before a release Capcom usually comes out with some sort announcement to build hype. (eg. Sentinal/Hsien-ko or Hakan reveals).
However, in both Super and MVC3 it was expected that SOME character would be revealed. Aside from the leak lists though, there wasn’t a peep about the characters before they were officially announced.
It seems a little fishy that they would reveal everything 2 months before release, saying no more characters and leaving 2 blank spaces in the character select screen.
Bottom line: If I wanted to create a whole lot of hype for AE, I would say no new characters and then right before release be like “BAM!!”. New characters.
Capcom has more leaks than a swiss cheese rowboat though…I hate to admit it but if nothing has snuck out by this point we probably aren’t getting anything, it’s barely a month until release now.
I think we will get the game, then hear an announcement before someone cracks the disc and finds the secret two on DLC for sometime this Fall. Meaning, since DLC can’t be hacked we’ll get the character announcements in early June.
As far as character, Ono got the Arcade deal because he came up with a way to split resources. Basing characters on replicable pairs probably was the way to convince the developers he could get six characters out for the price of around four and could sell another console edition. I wouldn’t be surprised if it went like this.
3.Yun / Yang (3rd Strike)
- Evil / Oni (Alpha-mostly)
then … (possibilities)
-
Bring back two SFI character so every edition gets a couple new characters. I’d love a re-designed Birdie and Eagle (pairs, get it?)

Use two more twins - The Cammy twins. Juni, Juli

‘Replicable’ Characters. Your Charlie, Sean, Hugo, Karin. i.e. characters that are related to other characters very closely and can share some modeling and animation similarities. (Yes, I know Hugo is the biggest leap in this list but, his model is half-done anyway.)
