Here something new to talk about:

More news. Most current change list for the returning 39 character, as well as a break down on the mechanics. Like the command for Red Focus, now harder to come out accidentally like I noticed was happening in streams.

Street Fighter IV has been a game where pad players are at a serious disadvantage, particularly because of links that really require plinking to get it right consistently. The controls for Red Focus is now a new example of pad unfriendly design. LP+MP+MK... WTF... how about MP+MK+ any Hard Attack

I'm sad about the Fei Long's nerfs but if I'm being honest they are necessary.

I like the buffs for Gouken. Particularly the decrease on the startup of EX Tatsu since the EX timing was always so different than the normal one. I'm concerned about how the light Senkugoshoha actually travels a little now, I wonder that it will cause an (about) 3 frame extra on start up.

Looked up Rufus (because I watch JWong play him so often). Those are some painful nerfs, particularly in damage.

[Sabaki]

@Acey: I'm surprised about the nerfs Fei got as well. Same as Balrog, for he got damage nerfs for the sake of frame advantage on block, on recovery, etc. It's not like Balrog is that damaging anymore nore that damaging. Guess we may see more combo-focused players now.

Cammy nerfs are long over due. Although she's one of my pocket characters, I have to say that her damage output & stun rate were way too good. I think reducing just those would be good enough nerfs. Her buffs (I.e. Cannon Spike during Hooligan Combination and less height restriction on Cannon Spike) are good, though.

My mains didn't get hit by the nerf bat too much. Guile's hitbox adjustments are mainly buffs (especially for Cr. Med K), air grab range increase, and Sonic Hurricane damage increase are great. Don't understand the nerf of Flash Explosion,  though...

Guy got some good buffs. Hopefully it'll allow for better footsies with the increase walk speed, as well as consistent combos and frame trapping with the improved hit boxes. Ibuki, on the other hand, needs to be played more honestly from what I can tell. Some tools improved, but her vortex and frame trapping ability may have taken a hit. Will tell once the new update comes out.

HMMM with all these nerfs and buffs going on and stuff....have they yet to disclose who this 5th character gonna be ? I am thinkin more than likely when closer to a release time frame they may jump out from the curtain and say so.

"5th" will be revealed mid march in atlanta georgia is what i read.

I feel that Poison's over-the-top sexuality and S&M will make this a difficult game to play during family reunions.

I feel that Poison's over-the-top sexuality and S&M will make this a difficult game to play during family reunions.

Specially if you consider saying she is a transgender in the reunions. But I have seen greater sex-related chars, like Ivy, for example, she is BDSM personified.

[Aumio Khan]

Is it Retsu???

[Trinitronity]

 
The 5th character is female...

[Magma MK-II]

You should know that this is just fanart.

[Aumio Khan]

Oh, yes, It's Female. And only 4 people correctly guessed who she is.

[Macaulyn97]

I wonder if its Decapre, like I said. Not much people think about her. And they said that people will not be happy initially, well, no one would have high expectations of one of the Dolls, specially one that wasn't even playable.

[Aumio Khan]

I thinks She must be one from the dolls of sadaloo.

The fifth new character's movements are a little on the speedy side.

This has already been reported about, but the new character is a she.

When released, she'd likely be a bit of a nuisance.

In fact, when we finally reveal who she is, at least initially, probably nobody will be happy about it.

Ayano: Woah woah woah, what an absurd thing to say! (Laughs) That's way too much!

Ono: Finally, we've also already said this before, but even though the new character exists within the Street Fighter universe, she's never once been playable.

... And with that, that's enough about the subject. Please let us off the hook!
She's a speedy character, is a bit of a nuisance when released into the wild, and likely to be a character that won't make anyone happy when she's finally unvealed, at least initially.

I guess that means we can finally scratch off Hakan's wife from the list.

Just pray to the lord that its not Ingrid, please.
And while I lik Decapre, she is like a mugen character. They could bring someone really diffrent.

What do you have against Ingrid, Ilu? She is very cool. Anyway, I think Decapre would be worth it, I just don't know how she would fit in the story.

They are creating two scenarios, the tournament worthy Ultimate version and the crazy no holds bared mix up. This gives everyone what they want (their old characters without the nerfs) and yet a tournament worthy game.

[Swiziga]

the option doesnt really make sense to me. i like to play endless lobby more than something like ranked. you won't really be able to learn the match ups of ultra if everyone will just pick the buffest version of their character. it made sense when they let ppl choose what version of the game they wanted in the lobby creation like ssf4 or ae edition but the character themselves at the select screen just seems dumb to me 
for example shoryukens are unsafe even after an fadc now but if you're playing vanilla ryu or ken that won't apply. its like why even make balance updates

[Trinitronity]

Ingrid is automatically scratched from the list, because she already was playable in a Street Fighter game, while the fifth character will have her debut as an playable character.

[Magma MK-II]

It won't be Decapre. Everyone and their mom guessed her, and so far only four people guessed right who the new character is.

[Trinitronity]

If that's the case, then we only have got this candidates left:
-Gouken's daugther
-Gouken's niece
-Santamu
-Lita Luwanda (the other Delta Red girl)
-Ibuki's friend (hopefully not)
-Sakura's friend (hopefully not)
-female Blanka (wait WHAT?!)
-Nilin from Remember Me (could someone please clarify, how that rumor happened?)

[Uche_of_IMT]

-the other Delta Red girl (forgot her name)

Her name is Lita Luwanda.
