Seth is really not a good visual design. They could have made something a lot cooler around the idea of the ying / yang symbol in his chest, even while keeping enough visual of him being a clone.
You mean normal like(Me:“Thinks about someone… time passes on”) Akuma?
How do you guys not like Hakan? He’s such a great design… think about it. They wanted to add another grappler so picked a Turkish oil wrestler and actually added oil as a mechanic! It’s pretty clever, even though it’s been done before (Shun-D from VF drinks from a flask the same way). Also his look is great, almost every character is an exaggerated stereotype in SF… look at Honda, Guile, Balrog, etc… That’s what makes the characters so instantly recognizable. Juri, the other new character, also has a great design. I actually like these characters a lot more than Viper and Abel from vanilla SF4.
Viper and Abel aren’t very original visually, but their gameplay is pretty good.
And Viper fits because the game just didn’t had an older serious female character. You could argue that Rose fits that but heh… Pretty nice still. First mother in the game, first american female,
Hakan without the oil mechanism or the exggerated look would make him too generic, him being so outlandish and odd makes him interesting and unique, if you ask me.

he basically he another teaser at the end of the third strike characters reveal trailer with some golden oil dripping down with his voice clip playing before this
everyone speculated on how he would look and play like, most people was disappointed and called him a joke character
I remember that trailer… it got me SO hyped for Hakan. The music, the voice acting, the ultra demonstration… everything… I was actually drafting into the army when SSFIV was coming out, so I didn’t get a chance to play the update for a long time… but I still kept up with all the updates, leaks, videos, all that stuff… it was an exciting time to be an SF fan. When I finally got to play him obviously it wasn’t quite what I expected, but I still had a blast playing. Out of all the new characters, he’s BY FAR my favorite… I also agree with the guy saying Abel and Viper were important additions. That’s true but still they don’t do much for me… now Rufus, that’s an awesome character.
This video is an unofficial list of things i think should/shouldn’t be done in the next iteration of street fighter 4…let me know what you think…whether you agree or disagree with me…all opinions are welcome…

Holy shit hakans music is SS+++ Tier. I mute in game music + I never play vs hakan much but damn lol.
what confuses me is when does hakan say “I LOVE MY DAUGHTERS THEY ARE SO PRETTY?” was that just trailer only?

this is the one I was talking about, all that build up…lol
About that rumor list posted a while back…training mode being able to do fight request would be SO FUCKING TITS if true.

Training mode fight request would rock agreed. Now I sit in boring arcade mode, but instead I could actually train inbetween matches meaning 100% productive time!

Hakan is a Turkish oil wrestler, the oil mechanism makes the character.

Seth is an abomination of game design both from a design perspective and an aesthetic perspective. Abel and Viper are great additions I agree, more for their gameplay than their look. Juri hits the mark on both categories, she’ll definitely be in SF5.
I think Abel,Viper,and Juri will be in SF5.
I’m really itching for some actual game-play footage of the new 4 characters to be released. The post today was one giant tease. A tease I would be more content with if we were back in July. The red focus and the double ultra news was great, but I would like to see some actual video footage (outside of the announce trailers) now that we are coming up on mid November.
I understand they are saving the 5th new character. I can totally see a late December/January release on that, but this delay is making me think that Capcom is having severe developmental delays.
It’s starting to feel like we won’t get anything until the first locktest.
I had an awesome dream where Combofiend was like “did we say we have 5 new characters? what we actually meant was 15!!!” then proceeded to show us various characters from other SF games such as Eagle and Necro… sadly it was only a dream, but I would seriously pay $60 for that…
I think we have enough characters.
They could have stopped at the Vanilla/Super cast and everything would have been fine.
Honestly after these last 5, i also agree with saying “no mas”. Ultra will put the roster at SFxTK/TTT2 levels of huge. It shouldnt go past that.
Seth is fun to play and that’s all that really matters, he’s the character of liberty, you have a move for every situation and a good variety in his gameplay. What you think is a good design is subjective, someone who is unfamiliar with SF may find that Ryu is just a dull karate man while Seth is original, it’s totally possible.
I’m a person that doesn’t play characters with bad designs (Blanka) but I make an exception for Seth because he is indeed fun to use
How dare you! Blanka has the best design in the game. He’s green and electric and throws his whole body at you! Can’t get any better than that.
