So basically, a cast of obscure characters that casual fans don't know would be better?

Buisness are in buisness to make money, not to give hand jobs to fanboys.

They keep it up, and they'll be giving handjobs for cash. I'm talking out of business. Done.

Most of the people you call "fanboys" are those posting suggestions from "obscure" games on other sites. They happen to be the people that play the games.

Again, 1/2 old, 1/2 new is the way to go. Sonic Boom, Shoryuken, *yawn*

Time for something new.

Erm, the movies come up grey for me. I get audio, but no video. Anybody know what codec they might be using?

I don't think that new characters are even as important as new stuff to do with the characters you already know and like. Sure, add a couple new characters, or obscure picks like Tessa and Shiki, but add some fundamental changes to the existing characters. So much more important.

I don't think most of us are tired of the characters necessarily, but we're tired of doing the exact same things with them game after game. Say what you will of them, but I think one of the reasons the Vs (XvSF, etc.) games were so popular is that you were able to do all sorts of things totally new with familiar characters.

Fury: When I get a new PC, we should play the MAME edition of A3 or some other classics.

This is EXACTLY the problem as I see it. I see the old SF 2 characters in, and I think "Well, this will probably be the same Guile, same two special moves, same throw, different look" and then I think the same about Sagat, Ryu, Dhalsim, Bison, Chun Li.

They have the exact same moves and style as they did in SF 2, and it's time for a change. Kyo has managed to make changes every year, and Ryu hasn't made ONE in however many years.

I would be happy if they said "It's got the SF 2 characters, but wow, that new move they gave Guile is killer, and did you see Ryu's new super? awesome!" But sadly, nope. Same old, same old. Even Terry seems to be the same as CvS 1.

Uhh, what the heck are you talking about? All the characters are reported to have move tweaks and such, for better or for worse. Dan is reported to be a powerful character in the game... DAN. Mr 'pink gi wearing copy of Robert and Ryo who was made because Ryo is a copy of Ryu.' If that's not a change, I don't know what is.

[Roufuss]

"Tweaks" is different from "a new move or hugely different change".

Old school Terry getting new school Terry's Buster Wolf in CvS 1? That's quite a change. I don't see tweaking a couple of existing moves a very huge change at all, because Ryu is still Ryu with the same damn palette of moves he's always had.

So, I wonder if this is the final character roster. Anyone heard any other news/seen any new links?

I know our resident "Man in Japan" is going to be on top of things if SvC beta tests in Tokyo.

I'm hoping SNK will do a home console surprise, and throw in some fan favorites. I mean, hell, they did it with KoF 2002.

[arjue]

so what exactly is the line up now?
