USF4 5th character revealed.

Two characters who were strong in a certain point and time in SFIV's lifespan.

LBSH, how well do you think these two would have fared if players knew what we know now?
I can't answer this with any kind of accuracy, but the beautiful thing is Edition select will be here in 3 months so I won't have to, WHOOP WHOOP! VANILLA AKUMA! In all seriousness and my trolling aside, she is going to be solid.

I've been playing a charge character in SF for 7 years now. It is a frustrating constraint at times. Her charging ability absolutely dampens the chances of her being broken. I don't even have a safe way to combo into ultra lol.

R.I.P Doctrine Dark, Shadow Geist, Kairi, Skullomania and Volcano Rosso, they were never allowed to live.

I was so exited to see how the so called 5th character is until i see her design, way to fuck this up capcom

Capcom does not own the rights to those characters. Akira des.

I'd gladly pay for patches as long as they were spaced sufficently and allowed the game to breathe and allow players to learn match ups, instead knee jerk reaction that ruin characters and then after 6 months the developers no longer care.

To the people who don't understand the backlash: I don't understand you.

Every second of anticipation for a new character reveal exponentially intensifies the disappointment when it turns out to be far and away the least interesting among them. You can't make us wait for you to slap a mask, some pants and charge mechanics on one of the game's most loathed characters. Capcooby pls.

That being said, I was a lock for Hugo and gave no fucks anyway, so it was totally worth it to hear that room full of glorious silence and to watch 5,000 viewers ditch a Capcom stream faster than a crosseyed blind date.

When's GGA!?
not sure if this was said or not but a smart move on NRS part would be to release 2 more characters to fill out those 2 empty spaces in the Injustice roster to capitalize Capcom's lackluster reveal.
 
Tell me, how is MK9's support going?
Better than Darkstalkers.

Damn it.

Yeah someone else in here already said they should have just showed her from the start with the other 4 instead of hyping her up to be a big mystery. As much backlash as Freddy you have to admit that wasn't "just another character", that was a choice worthy of being a mystery for better or worse. Had they put in Asura it would have made sense to make such a big deal and hype him up as a mystery character.

Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!
And can you guys imagine if instead of Scorpion, we got KABAL in Injustice?

In a game with plenty of long range 6/7/8 frame combo starters, universal armor/invincibility, whilst his own armored move is notorious for being put in blockstun by other armored launchers? Yeah, we'd be doomed. *rolls eyes*

I actually like Freddy being in MK9. I'm one of those people who welcome guest fighters.



Speaking of which, I'd actually would have been okay with Asura being a guest fighter in USF4.

*snip*
To each their own. And I think Asura would've made sense too, it's just funny that everyone was expecting Tremor, who is Jax in a Brown ninja suit, lol.

I'm just glad that a 6 year old game is still getting support in the way of a balance patch and new characters, regardless of how copy and pasted of a job the characters are.

Tell me, how is MK9's support going?
The only way MK9 could reasonably be amended is through a physical UMK9 release. Everyone trying to convince NRS that they just want the top 5 nerfed, are quite frankly, lying to themselves.

Please watch gameplay before hating or calling her a clone, please.
Immediately hating something that's not our game makes us seem insecure, immediately needing to defend our own game from something that's not even harmful...

It's no hating, the game is 6 years old. 6 FUCKING years and instead of sitting their ass down and build a new title after such success, they keep doing the same bullshit they are doing since 1991 with names, superturboultrahypermothafucka SOU FOU and have the audacity to keep secret 4 recycled characters and now they present a teleport-charge-cammy as the roster's refreshment. I wish SF players are happy, but I also wish some Crapcom studios to shut down

Get on that hook

But...she is a clone. There are many characters in the SF universe that they could have put in. But god forbid they do something other than copy/paste, right? And what makes you think we're the only ones unhappy about this? Besides, that's not even a talking point at all. Those who care are people who play SF. I don't see Tom Brady , M2Dave or 16Bit posting here.

I no longer main characters on any fighting games.
I find it both funny and slightly ironic that Decapre is a clone of Cammy White because that means that she is basically the Phase-4 of Street Fighter.

Releasing USFIV is a really smart move on Capcoms part. You guys can love them or hate them, but they're putting out a game with added characters, stages, modes, and balance changes. It doesn't really matter if they were in SFxT. It gives the SF fans something new to look at to hold them over until SFV. I for one am excited.

Design sucks but gameplay, the most important part looks pretty good.
What's that old fighting game quote? Players would use a character that is a bag of feces if it was top tier.

Also, 90% of top players in SF4AE2012 have still been using their main character they started with in vanilla and super. The new characters aren't the main draw for ultra, the double ultra, red focus, delayed wake up, and massive balance patch is. The game will attempt to remove unblockable and vortexes, to move the game away from set-up figthter 4 into a more neutral focused footsie game. It's attempting to readjust some characters horrible match ups and tone down the upper tier. Do you all remember how hype everyone was for injustice's latest patch? the patch that completely shook up the meta and is now making top 8's extremely diverse and hype to watch? That is what USF4 will do as well. Yes, Decapre is a clone, both in the lore and in the game- at least from a visual standpoint. But so fucking what? she plays extremely different, not just from cammy, but from any other current SF4 character. And she, along with the ported SFxT fighters, is just icing on the cake.
