full rumor list (which has been p. much on the money so far):

[LIST]
[*]The previously [URL="http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2009/sep/17/rumor-street-fighter-iv-dash-characters/"]leaked characters[/URL] 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:
[LIST]
[*]Hakan - An Arabic grappler obsessed with oil.
[*]Juri - Evil Asian girl fighter working for Seth.
[/LIST]
[*]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.
[LIST]
[*]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.
[*]Gen has four Ultras because of his two fighting styles. One of these is said to be an Air Ultra.
[*]All characters still have one Super, except Sakura who apparently has a Shinkuu Hadoken (Super Fireball) as well.
[/LIST]
[*]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.

I'm looking forward to this. Glad I waited and didn't buy Old IV. Hopefully they won't come out with Super Street Fighter IV Turbo Championship Hyper-Fighting Anniversary Strike Edition in '11 or something.

Probably. I haven't played the game seriously in the past 4 months. :cool:

Unnngh yes Third Strike Characters. This is going to kick ***.




Posted by Linko_16

I cannot wait to beat the **** out of a car again.

Cody <3 Makoto <3 Ibuki<3 I kind of hope I see Oro and Q somewhere in there. Weren't those twins (names escape me) in Chun-Li's opening movie? Guess we won't see them then. I'm a bit "ehhh" on Dudley, but Dudley vs Balrog will be cool. This "extra content" for those who have SF4 already better be more than costumes.

I half expect to see twelve in there to face off against Seth or something.

I'm REALLY excited about the SF3 characters.




Posted by Ant

Yang and Yun. Yeah I'm surprised they weren't on that list.




Posted by Big Boss

I'm half-upset they couldn't just patch up IV, especially in this day and age. Might get the 360 version this time since I got the Hori Tekken 6 fightstick for it.

It's odd that Cody, of all characters, is in the roster. On the other hand, I'm looking forward to picking Guy. Street Fighter Zero 3 is my favorite one, after all. I am hoping they improve Vega, though. While there's a great sense of accomplishment from owning a shoto with him, it isn't easy, and oftentimes impossible when the opponent knows what they're doing. He has no strength, no stamina, no impact combos, so I can only drag on fights by poking and evading. Also, the claw and mask moves that eat up the EX meter can be pulled off by accident and serve no worthwhile benefit.

at least you look like a badass while doing so.

And since I never played any of the Alpha's it should be interesting to play as Guy, Cody, and Adon. Based on from what I saw in the trailer I'd probably like Guy the most.

cody owns in alpha 3, though the knife-collecting mechanic is kinda annoying




Posted by Ant

who thought it'd be a good idea to have johnny yong bosch be the english voice actor for t.hawk? seriously, a generic stereotypical indian voiceactor would have been better.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

yeah i wanted him to be all like 'me thunder hawk. you ryu.'




Posted by Prince Shondronai

He should have a victory pose where he sheds a silent tear of despair when a random spectator throws some trash on the ground, too. That'd rock.

Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Posted by Ant

I didn't see anything that looks very much like a prison level, even on the linked page.

He looks like Palmer from Titan Maximum in that shot, for some reason.




Posted by Slade

I like the India level. Reppin' animal labor!

Do I have to play SF4 if I've ever liked the SF series?




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

dur yes




Posted by Linko_16



A pal posted this on my other forum. I can't speak exactly for its authenticity since he didn't post a source or anything.




Posted by Ant

The ??? are the Third Strike crew. PLEASEEEEEEE




Posted by Kamek

It's off Seth Killian's blog I think. It is authentic. It's probably Ibuki, Dudely and Makoto. Some have been saying MAYBE Alex, but I'd go with Makoto.

I wasn't too happy about Dudely but after playing a little 3rd strike for Dreamcast, I'm okay with it. I would have liked Oro or Q maybe.

y'all are terrible at researching, this is from the famitsu SSF4 livestream

they're just a little too close to each other there.

at least the menu is a bit more stylized.

Lol, I don't bother because generally good chums like you go ahead and post it here first. But I saw this and no one had posted it here yet, so I did.

Ibuki is pretty much a shoe-in. She is by far the most commonly popular Third Strike Character.
