@DJ:
Thanks for bringing by that DVD! Even though it all looked like science and math hahah. I’ll keep playing BB though. Just taking it slow right now so I don’t get overwhelmed, cause man, I’m not used to the concept of being able to dash in the air or whatever you call it hahah
HAHA JON! SSF4DAHDTRemix! Here’s the list I found. It’s the stuff that was rumored to be announced at TGS or somewhat revealed. But I guess it might not have been solid enough to reveal. IDK, but the sources is what makes it believable for me.
* The previously leaked characters are all said to be in the game. Dee Jay, T. Hawk, Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto, Adon, Cody and Guy. The new characters are rumored to be:
o Hakan - An Arabic grappler obsessed with oil.
o Juri - Evil Asian girl fighter working for Seth.
* All characters will have two Ultras. They will both be available at one time, not selectable like with Third Strike's Super Arts. The commands to execute your Ultras do not overlap.
o It sounds like the characters from Third Strike are set up with their prior Super Arts. They had three in that game, so one will be their Super and the other two their Ultras.
o Gen has four Ultras because of his two fighting styles. One of these is said to be an Air Ultra.
o All characters still have one Super, except Sakura who apparently has a Shinkuu Hadoken (Super Fireball) as well.
* Some characters will have Air Ultras.
* The Bonus Stages will be returning.
* This will be an exclusive arcade release at least for a few months.
* An official announcement is said to be coming at the Tokyo Game Show and on the Japanese Street Fighter 4 blog soon.
* Expect the return of the many familiar Supers, and a few new ones like Metsu Shoryuken. You'll see the return of Chun-Li's Kikosho (Super Fireball), Gouken's Denjin, Sagat's Tiger Cannon (Super Fireball).
* Ibuki has a run command.
* Guile has his Sonic Hurricane move from Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
* Dudley has his Chain combos from Third Strike, plus one additional Chain combo.
* Cody is the only character with an Alpha Counter and he still has his knife. He supposedly needs his knife to perform one of his Ultras.
* Rufus can cancel-break the last hit of his Spectacle Romance, or the launch kick of Space Opera Symphony.
* Guy has his Chain combos.
* Makoto has her Tanden Renki Super from Third Strike.
* Zangief is said to have a 720 degree motion Air Ultra called the Siberian Blizzard.
* The game takes place one year after Street Fighter 4.
* Dudley was searching for his car in Third Strike, in this game he's searching for a rose.
* T. Hawk's storyline involves him protecting Juni or Juli.
* Dhalsim's new Ultra is called the Yoga Shangri'la.
* There's a new gameplay system called Tadan Saving, the phrase implies a multi-hitting or multiple-level Focus Attack.
* The console characters are all said to be added to the upcoming arcade release, with the possible exceptions of Seth and Gouken.
These details came in from various sources on the internet, like Johnny5Optimus on ProjectCovo.com forums, Ultima on Shoryuken.com forums and TimeKillr and Ryan “Fubarduck” Harvey on the NeoGaf forums.
And I believe that Ryan is a really credible source.
You didn’t skim enough to notice it said Gief is supposed to have a damn air 720?! hahah That’s like the first the first thing I noticed…me being the ultimate Zangief hater…Right PETE?! hahah
I used to hate grappler characters too, but Phong converted me. Send your grievances to that man lol. The only grappler I’ll stick with is SF4 Zangief – so far nothing else is as easy and as fun to play.
I’m kinda iffy on those updates. Seems like a mash up of various sources put together, although I agree with Ricky that Fubarduck is a credible source. He has good reasoning, but I’d like to see his sources and opinions as to why these changes are there.
Oh and, did you guys see that pic with Ono-san standing with some journalist from the German gamepro? There’s a pic of T. Hawk standing in the background…
Oh btw, DJ did you get your DVD back? You left it at Jon’s house last night.
And Ricky, I’m going to have to eat my words. I think you’re on to something with that post. T. Hawk, DeeJay, and new Korean character with Tae Kwon Do skills character Juri have just been announced. Mind blown.
It’s ok Pete! haha always gotta take rumors with a grain of salt. But just the fact that the sources who said it were reliable, I believed it a little more than everything else I’ve been hearing. And those screenshots are amazing! Just gives proof that at least some of the rumors are for sure true.
I’d be interested if we can get something arranged! Just let me know!
