It may be Cody but the ink trail looks like its coming from a focus attack that goes in a downwards motion rather than an uppercut. Someone online said you can sae a statue of Mike Hagger in the background of the Chun-li picture so it's Metro City, not NY. So it's likely Guy or Cody's stage.

Guy :y:
Cody :n:
Adon :|

Fuck Cody. Seriously.

Not gonna lie tho: Dudley and Makoto = win. I'd have preferred Elena, Yun or Yang over Ibuki, but fuck it 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Tis is all provided that list is true, tho.

I still want alex

I agree

really don't care for cody

Gay

You and me both. Also, I actually meant to put :-\ and not :| for Adon. He's not bad, I just don't think he's all that suited to this shit. Sub him out for Yun and Yang and add some of the SF3 originals (ie. guys who aren't SF2 ripoffs like Remy) and we have some good shit going.

Cody? Adon?

This does it... They actually do not like 3rd Strike. Do they find it a weak entry? Perhaps the fact that it dropped around the time fighters died gives it a bad 'aura' or something. Let's face it: Juri, T.Hawk, Dee Jay, Guy, Cody, Adon... That's about three characters left if any, and will they really be 3rd Strikers? I hope, but it doesn't seem likely anymore. I have read rumors, but I don't feel like putting up hope anymore.

In any case, SSF4 still looks like a definite buy. More characters mean more variety in comp, so let's have it.

Christ, is anyone paying attention? Capcom never said "exactly 8 new characters". Could be more. Wait till everything is announced to begin bitching, at least.

I doubt if they're going to even add 8. This is Capcom we're talking about.

If that's how its gonna be i want the rest to be new characters

It would seem we're all a bit underwhelmed by the latest Alpha entries. Meanwhile, who fucking knew Cody and Adon had so many fans at SRK (typical). At the very least we have great new modes and all characters unlocked at launch. SF4 is still a great game. And who knows... we might come to like the new/old challengers. I didn't think Sakura would nearly be my main a year ago.

Count it up, what I said has more than 8. Settle down, yourself, Blitzkrieg.

Was responding more to Kalyx and Fig.

Cody I could take or leave. Guy I wanted. Adon looks like he could have be fun to play.

Seriously, tho: Dudley, Makoto, Yun, Yang, Elena, Alex... any of them would be phenomenal additions.

The list posted a while ago has been accurate so far, as Blitz said. So we should be getting 3rd Strike characters soon.

They said 8-ish new characters meaning maybe a little more or a little less. Plus I'm not sure if that 8 included T.Hawk, Dee Jay and Juri. Didn't they say there would be about 8ish more fighters after revealing T.Hawk etc?.

I don't care about Guy or Cody but Adon is alright.

Dudley I wouldn't mind. Makoto never did much for me. I'd love Elena, Yun/Yang or Alex.

All those fucking El Fuerte spammers are gonna be fucked with Guy around.

:roll:

Are you one of them, then? :mad: Can't stand those fucks.

I mean, let's be serious: it takes pretty good timing to keep someone down once you have them in that loop, but fucking hell does it makes the game a lot less fun.

I hear rumors that Ibuki might be included... gonna look into it.

Makoto, Ibuki, and Dudley is the rumor.

Pretty good set, if it's true. And while I've got no beef with Ibuki going in, I believe I've already stated which character's I'd like to see make the cut.

I do main El Fuerte but I don't use that loop beyond 3-5 hits followed by a Tostada Press or to be fancy the Gordita Sabat into El Ferte Dynamite. Damage scaling however does balance out the issue.

A scan from Famitsu:

Taken from the Japanese Blog: "Guy blocking a kunai thrown from someone with his saving attack. But now, in SSFIV there are no characters who throw kunai's. That means....?!"

Also, in Fei Longs SFIV ending, Seth gets one of those weapons thrown into his back from an unseen character. Likely Ibuki.

Cool, looks like she'll be included. Hopefully Dudley as well.

Dudley FTW!!

... I'll be watching you

I toyed with Ibuki in 3rd Strike years ago. Might give it another go this time in this engine. Makoto should be interesting with the Saving Attack system.

Fucking hate Cody so much.

I'd have Karin over Cody easily.

Like I said, he was supposed to be Joe from SF1, but they were like let's make him Cody. Then we got Final Fight Streetwise. :mad:

You know, Cody's not so bad...

I never knew anyone who played him seriously.

If we were in a room talking about this in person, this would be the point where I foam at the mouth and try to bite your face off.

I ruled Alpha 3 wit this guy. Plus he's got a more interesting storyline than anyone in the game period. Fallen hero.
