That may actually be the new "New Zealand" Character they are going to release.
What if that was Honda and he went Rastafarian on us.
Looks to be a new character, villain even if I would guess. Those dreads...
???
Capcom did say they weren't going to make clones anymore.
Ken has no interesting mechanics, hes the same old shit in every game. Now he's got more ways to do flame torando kicks, so exciting! Him, Ryu, Cammy and Chun are all painfully dull. But they gotta get these tired and predictable characters out of the way to keep the fans happy(who for some reason value nostalgia over creativity or innovation).
Do you play Streetfighter?
who is this new Character they teased tho ?
[/QUOTE
For some reason I think its Akuma
Now that I look at it...it may be an updated Honda....I thought Urien but lets see
... To reiterate what @Notez4 said, do you play Street Fighter?
That's no Honda. That's a new character right there. Supposedly from New Zealand
Alright, watched it again, still looks boring as fuck and completely lacking anything worth getting excited for. Now what did I miss again? He's got a few new things, nothing substantially new to the game as a whole. Am I supposed to get excited for a slightly different way to use my tornado kick from the air? Some different juggle properties? He still has most of the same old shit, he'll most likely just be a more aggressive Ryu like he always has. I want unique gameplay mechanics, divekicks, fireballs and uppercuts are not that. Simple enough to understand?
Play as in present tense? No, but I played several versions of 4, several versions of 2, a bit of 3S and played Alpha when I was a kid and the SF characters in the Marvel games. Ken and Ryu are probably the most boring SF characters in existence while they've gotten more distinct over time their differences are negligible. Flame uppercuts here, some flame tornado kicks here, slightly different footsies, etc etc.
Air lightning legs? That shit hasn't be new or interesting since I was a child. That move was pointless and uninteresting in 4(the lightning legs, not the air aspect) and seems to be the same in 5. It's a complete nostalgia and visual move, people like it cause it looks cool and it's a classic of the series. I can't imagine it being used much out of combos and if it is then cool it serves the purpose of a footsie but is a footsie tool that's that simple supposed to get me hyped? I don't care about bringing back staples of the franchise I just want characters to drastically new things or just see new characters entirely. Which I know is a lot to ask from a SF game.
