Adon is in top 8. No Cammy, fei, viper or Seth.

Er...doesn't XaioHai play cammy? I believe he does. Didn't he beat Haitani to make it? Unless you are being sarcastic. Which I obviously didn't get :P

There's a pretty big chance yeah. Ono IS going to announce a new SF4, that's for sure. It's just whether it's a "2013" patch or a new release really that's in question.

You're right, Sako beat him. But he made it to top 16 which is pretty close tbh. And he only lost when he stopped picking Cammy and went to Yun.....which kind of proves my point about Cammy. Had he stuck with his main, he would have made it.

XiaoHai played Sako in the Cammy - Evil Ryu matchup at Topanga and got destroyed.

Best thing about that pic is that there is no Marvel in it. Japan I so envy you!

It was specifically mentioned that the fifth new character would be brand new to SF.

K.O.Kiki

Time to show y'all the power of AFRICA.

Azza

If its anything like the other powers you have showed us I doubt I'll be impressed.:cool:

Ramza

And then Azza's LK button mysteriously breaks.

Scavenger XIII

They made a point of saying "new to SF" so it's most likely an existing char that hasn't been in a main SF game.

C'mon Haggar, FF crew needs to be all accounted for.

Sairus

Quick summary for those that didn't watch the panel:

The update is a big one - bigger than Arcade Edition. It has:
Balance changes
5 new characters - Elena, Rolento, Poison, Hugo and 1 new character "Never in SF before"
They won't just be straight ports from SFxT as they need new Ultras and whatnot.
6 new stages
New modes

You can get it in 3 flavors:
$15 DLC
Can be upgraded from SSF4 or Arcade Edition.

$40 Disk
Disk comes with all DLC costumes
Preorder the disk to get fantasy themed costumes for the 5 ne characters designed by UDON.

$40 Digital
They didn't detail this, but I assume it also has the costumes.

Release date is Early 2014.

The title of the update and debut trailer will be shown before the AE grand finals at EVO on Sunday.

---

My money is on Haggar or Asura for the 5th character.

Doctor DooM

Watched the panel. Retail release is specificslly for to's and comes with allcostume dlc unlocked, the idea being this will be a one sfop solution for them.

2014 release date, looks like a while before we need to think about next gen!

Sairus

Also, while not terribly relevant to those outside Japan, this edition is being ported to Nesica arcade cabs in Japan. This means there won't be dedicated Street Fighter 4 cabs like there are now. Instead arcades will only need a Nesica cab that can store dozens of fighters like BlazBlue, Persona, etc.
The smaller arcades that are out towards my area have been steadily replacing all their SF4 cabs with Nesicas so this is a much easier way for Capcom to get back into those without operators putting down a huge investment on new cabs again.

Sairus

Double post woo.

http://evilgeniuses.gg/capcom-details-sfiv-update-a-whole-new-game/

angstygaijin: Any hints on the new fight locales?

Matt Dahlgren: The stages are actually the same ones you saw in SF x T. If you played them in that game, then they’ll look familiar to you.

SSFIVAE Copy and Paste Edition.

I wouldn't be surprised if they actually went with something like "Super Street Fighter 4 X" as the title to reference how this is mostly just adding the SF stuff from SFxT.

Scavenger XIII

I won't be too bothered if they properly clean them up and remove a lot of the OTT nonsense.

kisaragi

Some of the character changes. Happy to see Chun getting a few much needed buffs

UberPrinny_Baal

^Deejay ultra 1 range increased.

Also counter-hit juggles into super OUTSIDE the corner.

Interview over on Evil Geniuses with some info on Rufus changes.

angstygaijin: As members of Team EG, we have to ask: what did you do to Rufus, and are there any fixes…erm…changes to EX Messiah?

Combofiend: It’s funny, because everyone asks for one thing for Rufus: fixing his EX Messiah…and we did. So that has been addressed fully, but we’re also taking a look at modifying the followups afterwards because it ends up being TOO advantageous as a 66% rock-paper-scissors game after a successful block. That’s not fun for a lot of the cast.

itsvandole: We have a special request from Ricky Ortiz, actually. He complained yesterday that he really wants his Ultra 2 back…

Combofiend: That’s been addressed as well. Ultra 2 has been addressed, Ultra 1 damage has been addressed, throw damage has been addressed. With all these changes, though, we did want to leave Rufus intact, and the divekick is unchanged. He’ll still be able to play the game his way.
