The cinematic trailer hints at Devil Kazuya and Evil Ryu (I'm thinking bosses), and I wonder if the Jin name drop means he's in (thematically I don't know how he'd fit in, honestly).

It would seem that this is the Tekken 6 era with Nina working with Kazuya and one of Jin's Tekken Force soldiers being abused by Kazuya. With Abel in, we can safely conclude the SF4 era on the SF side (although the SF4 roster is more or less a generational dream match deal itself).

Possible rivalries:

Xiaoyu/Asuka vs Sakura
Lili vs Karin
Raven vs Guy
Leo vs Makoto
Steve vs Balrog/Dudley

Also Balrog and Dee Jay are illegitimate Mishima sons and want the Zaibatsu.

Kazyua went through a black girl phase.

Yeah, completely expected to be honest. They'd be crazy not to include cammy with Nina already in.

It's cool they're starting to reveal characters but it's not exactly the most hype inducing reveal. No game play, no music or anything.

I'm hoping for Zangief vs Kuma.

We'll definitely see zangief I think. Especially since he missed mvc 3, but kuma is a bit of a longshot. Yeah, zangief wrestles bears, but it makes more sense for king to be his rival in the game.

Not the best reveal trailer compared to SSF4 and MvC3's series of trailers but considering who we're talking about...

*giggles*

Have they said how big the roster is going to be? Because I figure if we've got 40ish characters You could go to town on obscure, but otherwise good for the story type characters. Eagle anyone?

Not sure, but given the current climate I'm betting mid to high 30s. 40s is the new maximum, but the SF4 team doesn't seem the type to consider huge rosters a selling point. I can imagine 30s at first and seasonal DLC up to early 40s.

They have a shit ton of SF4 models to transfer, so they'd only have to draw and program Tekken characters and SF characters who didn't appear in SF4 (which are some SF1/Alphas, Final Fighters, and many 3rd Strikers).

I'd love to see Karin, and for some reason Maki. Other than that, like MvC3, I don't need to ask for much. I'm happy.

Looking for a T. Hawk appearance. Seems unlikely, but I'd love it.

Cammy :heart: :heart: :heart:

Another character is revealed for the game and this one didn't even get a video. Just an image. Come on Capcom, you'll try and hype us up about Evil Ryu in SSFIV but not hype us about characters in a game people have wanted for over a decade?

The new character:

Cool. I guess.

Yeah there doesn't seem to be a hype train with the character reveals, I guess we got spoiled with full fledged trailers showing a character whoopin ass to his theme song. I mean this says nothing about the game, but it conveys lack of interest on Capcom's part, imo.

GET HYPE CAPCOM

Bob was revealed in the video where 10 characters were revealed.

Bob Saget

Sagat wasn't.

Oh word. Long day at work, is what I'm gonna blame that on.

Late but whatever...

(Might as well remove TxSF from the title, it's not happening anytime soon. :()

Ok, going to make a guess that the final roster will total 20 (not including any DLC, if there is any).

My (flimsy) reasoning is this. Here is the Japanese site for the game. It has the characters revealed so far, minus the teaser characters.
If it's anything like SSFIV and MvC3's site, all the characters should fit into that little area. I tried it in paint by copy/pasting and it fits perfectly.

In other news, Ono seems to be taking requests for characters on Twitter. No idea if it'll make any difference.

Pfft, it won't make a difference. He's just having fun.

We better get at least 4 characters at E3. Ono already said there will be a new build. Should get some 3rd Strike info too.

Requests are the usual. Karin, Poison and Elena.

We're getting 3rd Strike info at E3, Capcom said so a couple weeks ago. It's onmEventhubs, somewhere.

Whoever got modeled for SF4 but didn't make it is a sure bet, an advantage of SFxT having the same art style sans updated shaders. If I didn't know better I'd say Ono's team played a good hand.

I am a little worried this will be SFIV vs Tekken. I want characters from other games. Let's have R.Mika, Eagle, Sodom, Joe or anyone else that wasn't in SFIV.

I can see the idea being to make the retail cast pretty predictable and then to suddenly reveal a bunch of characters from other Street Fighters as DLC at 800 a character.

There will never be a 10$ fighting game DLC character. No company, so far, is that crazy. 5$ at best.

That's what I meant. Whatever they charged for Jill and Shuma.

Yeah, 5$ characters all day. The more people ask the more likely Capcom will make them premium.

When fighting games are demoed at events, like SFxT will be in a few weeks, they still use good ol fashion How 2 Play stickers like arcade machines did. Here's a peek at SFxT's stickers ready to print.

Did NOT notice the toys sitting on copies of MK. lol

Ono is king of professional trolls.

Would like to see how she works in 2D. She's one of those characters that just belongs in 3D.

Oh look, Kalyx posted a broken image. How refreshing.

Also, was that last vid hworang?

Yeah, pretty sure it was.

I can see it.

*sips tea*

So Capcom decides to spice up the PSV version of the game by adding a guest character who has shit to do with SF or TK (or Capcom and Namco for that matter). I don't think Cole fits in any shape or form (seems like a Marvel Vs guest character if anything).

ugh

Yeah, Cole would be great in a VS game. Definitely an odd fit here though.
