_________________________________

________________________________________________________________

Abel

This young amnesiac chases down the remnants of Shadaloo. His fighting styIe is based on mixed martial arts and is well-suited to his mercenary background. Though he may appear to be a bit of a misanthrope at first glance, this is merely a side effect of his earnestness. He has no memory of his past.

________________________________________________________________

Adon

This self-proclaimed "King of Muay Thai" makes his naked contempt for others known with his surly attitude and tendency to throw insults at those he feels are inferior.

________________________________________________________________

Akuma

This demonic warrior discarded his own humanity when he let the dark power of the Satsui no Hado take over and murder his own brother Gouken in cold blood. He seeks the ultimate fight to the death and is especially intrigued by Ryu's inherent Satsui no Hado tendencies, which he frequently tempts the young man into succumbing to...

________________________________________________________________

Balrog

This boxer, whose violent tendencies led him to be expelled from the realm of professional boxing, teamed up with Bison to make money. He has not been heard of since Shadaloo's collapse.

________________________________________________________________

Blanka

Following a harrowing plane crash in his youth, Blanka found himself alone in the Amazonian jungle, struggling to survive and live on his own, granting him extraordinary survival skills and unique set of characteristics. He now fights to earn the love and respect of his mother.

Cammy

This swift and deadly fighter is a member of a British paramilitary group known as Delta Red. She had been brainwashed by Shadaloo and put to use by that evil organization as nothing more than a living weapon, but she does not let this past hold her back and now fights alongside her comrades on a new and dangerous mission.

________________________________________________________________

Chun-Li

This Interpol detective uses an arsenal of deadly kicks as she scours the world in search of her missing father. She became a detective at the age of 18. She is currently engaged in an investigation with Guile into rumors of Shadaloo's reemergence.

________________________________________________________________

Cody

Despite his history as one of the heroes who liberated Metro City from the grips of the evil Mad Gear gang, Cody has a short temper and his penchant for starting fights has landed him in prison.

________________________________________________________________

Crimson Viper

This tough and beautiful agent assumes a business-like demeanor, seemingly ignoring the pettiness of human emotion and obligation to fellow man in favor of her own goals. She wears a high-tech suit equipped with an assortment of deadly gadgetry. Her true goals and identity are unknown.

________________________________________________________________

Dan

This fighter boasts an impressive set of taunts, but his fighting moves are often half-baked. Though he has trained with Goken in the past, his moves are based more upon his own unique technique, a styIe he has dubbed Saikyo.

________________________________________________________________

Dee Jay

Though he is the Jamaican kickboxing champion, he moonlights as a musician, releasing popular albums in his spare time. His disposition is extremely cheerful and he is always smiling.

________________________________________________________________

Dhalsim

This mystical Indian yogi is reluctant to harm his opponents and is a pacifist at heart. Nevertheless, when his family's village is threatened, he once again ventures into the world, steeled for combat and ready to teach evil a lesson.

________________________________________________________________

Dudley

This English boxer is a refined gentleman. Always looking for a clean fight, his regard for the rules can be seen as a weakness in a street fight.

________________________________________________________________

E. Honda

This bad boy of the sumo circuit continues to make a name for himself on the world stage. He has attained the rank of Oseki, though he is generally considered good enough to take on the mantle of Yokozuna. He travels the world in an effort to spread Sumo's appeal around the world.

El Fuerte

This fighter divides his time between perfecting his lucha libre skills and his cooking abilities. His indomitable spirit is a match for even the legendary Red Cyclone. He now travels the world in an effort to assemble the greatest recipes on the planet.

Fei Long

This young man has made a big name for himself in the world of Hong Kong cinema. Having trained hard since childhood, there is not a single fighter in Hong Kong that has kung fu skills worthy of being compared to his own.

Gen

This assassin enjoys legendary notoriety in the underworld. He continues to scour the world for foes worthy of the fight to the death he seeks. He has a connection with Chun-Li's father and, as such, possesses very complex feelings towards her.

Gouken

Akuma's brother and mentor to Ryu and Ken, this legendary fighter is responsible for developing and refining Ansatsuken, a fighting styIe he taught to his pupils Ryu and Ken. He was defeated at the hands of the vile Akuma and now makes his triumphant return after having been presumed dead for decades.

________________________________________________________________

Guile

This American Air Force Major has dedicated his life to taking revenge on Bison, the man who killed his best friend, Charlie so many years ago. His fighting styIe is a unique blend of military trained martial arts and other moves that he finds useful in combat. When a series of incidents in which Shadaloo's involvement is suspected...

________________________________________________________________

Guy

This serious-minded ninja is a practitioner of Bushinryu. He speaks traditional Japanese, lending a stiff formality to his speech and mannerisms.

________________________________________________________________

Hakan

He is the uncontested champion of Turkish oil wrestling and has been so for years. He is out to prove the superiority of his fighting styIe and to find worthy opponents.

________________________________________________________________

Ibuki

This high school girl lives in a ninja village. Having been raised in a ninja clan, she often dreams of an ordinary life enjoyed by other girls her age.

________________________________________________________________

Juri

This S.I.N. agent has earned the nickname of "spider." She is very aggressive and takes pleasure in causing pain to her opponents.

________________________________________________________________

Ken

Scion of the American financial group that bears his name, Ken Masters is also the closest friend and rival of Ryu. With a brand new life on the way to get his and his wife's family started, he hesitates when invited to climb back into the ring with Ryu. Eventually, with some prodding from Eliza, he decides to take the plunge.

________________________________________________________________

M. Bison

Drug trafficking, human experimentation, weapons dealing; no crime was beyond the reach of Bison's foul Shadaloo organization. He uses his Psycho Power to strike fear into the heart of those who oppose him and further his own twisted and vile machinations. Thought to have perished in the fall of Shadaloo, Bison garnered a new...

________________________________________________________________

Makoto

Though she looks young, her fighting prowess is nearly unmatched. She is a country girl raised in the rural Tosa region of Japan.

________________________________________________________________

Rose

This beautiful and enigmatic fortune teller is well-known in Genoa, where she has set up shop. She relies on her mastery of Soul Power, an energy that draws its source from her very life-force, rather than on physical techinque to vanquish her foes.

Rufus

This portly fighter uses his own unique brand of kung fu. He has declared himself to be the America's greatest fighter and has a deep, though decidedly one-side rivalry with Ken Masters. He fights to prove that he is indeed better than Masters, though he frequently mistakes other fighters for his supposed rival.

Ryu

Continuously polishing the moves he learned from his master Gouken, this solitary street fighter trains tirelessly for his own betterment. His power and nomadic way of life are a big draw to admiring challengers. He seeks the path of the "true warrior", but his pursuit of this lofty goal has set him squarely in the sights of evil...

Sagat

Also known as "the invincible Tiger", Sagat is exalted as the King of Muay Thai. His legendary kicks are said to be the most powerful in the world. A fateful defeat at the hands of Ryu left a broad scar on his chest and drove him to even more intense training.

Sakura

This high school girl followed her idol Ryu into the world of street fighting. Bright and energetic, she finds enjoyment in all she does and never misses the chance to fight a strong opponent.

Seth

Seth is the CEO of a weapons manufacturing and trading company known as S.I.N. He has collected data from the world's top fighters and assimilated it into his own fighting styIe. Though he was developed to be a replacement body for Bison, he has plans of his own. Plans to rebel and make Shadaloo his own.

________________________________________________________________

T. Hawk

This warrior is a member of the Thunderfoot tribe. His father, Arroya Hawk, was killed by M. Bison and his tribe was forced from their tribal land as a result.

________________________________________________________________

Vega

This narcissist values and trusts in beauty above all else. He joined Bison's group purely to improve his own aesthetic senses. HIs extreme speed and beautifully exectuted move set makes it difficult for opponents to keep their mind on the battle. He has not been heard from since Shadaloo's collapse.

Zangief

This Russian wrestler is popularly known as the "Red Cyclone". Inside his massive chest beats the heart of a true patriot. He throws himself into another worldwide fight in order to keep a promise he made to a group of doubtful children.

The long wait is nearly over. The month of the release of the latest version of the greatest (Fighting) Series of all time is FINALLY here!

Watch this topic for movies, pics and other tidbits of information concerning the Triumphant Return of the World Warriors ! ! !

To give credit where credit is due: This topic is NOT meant to replace Ask_Story's awesome, existing SFIV topic.

It is merely meant to suplement it and focus more on the amazing characters and rock-solid gameplay of the phenomenal series that started the whole fighting genre!

Please refer to Ask's Topic for Official Reviews, accessories, box art and release info!

For a character that started as a "joke" there's certainly a lot of pictures of Dan pummeling the best of the best of the World Warriors!

...now THAT'S more like it! :P

When it comes to the lore of Street Fighter, THIS battle has been a long time coming!

For those of you who may be wondering why I may have dropped off of your PSN Friends List:

I have initiated a sel-imposed online "blackout" until:

(1) I get my Street Fighter IV FightPads in the mail and can put up a better fight in SFHD Remix.

(2) I get a bit of practice time in with the PS3 version of Street Fighter IV.

_________________________________________________________

My PSN Screen Name is: Phantom_Leo so you can add me when February 17th finally arrives!

Feel free to post your own Screen Names in here and I will organize them as the date approaches!

The descriptions of the Characters comes straight from Capcom's own site.

They were left (for the most part) untouched and unedited from the descriptions there, even in the cases (Guile, Ryu & Bison) where they were incomplete!

Guile versus Abel Trailer

The Power Trailer (includes clips from the Anime included in the Collector's Edition)!

Before I decided to do a Mega-Topic on Street Fighter IV, I was pondering a question. I am going to reprint it here so (maybe) it'll get a bit more exposure and discussion.

_____________________________________________

Not that anyone can answer this question yet, BUT:

Anyone think that amnesiac Abel is actually Nash/Charlie?

Watch some of the videos of Guile and Abel interacting and you have to wonder...

Granted, I've only seen a small handful of videos BUT if Rose, Gen and Sakura are in SFIV, Why not Guile's long lost buddy too?

Pay particular attention at 1:32 in this video.Phantom_Leo

Guile's Ending in Street Fighter Alpha 3

Notice Abel has a Somersault Kick-like Move? Watch at (:30)...

His leg sweep is also similar to Charlie's --AND-- one of his Super's resembles Charlie's Crossfire Blitz... Hmmm...

Great thread Leo. I'm looking forward to playing this, but not sure I'll buy or rent it.Travo_basic

Thanks, Travo!

If you are interested, keep watching this topic: as more information and movies on each individual character are released, they will be linked to the existing profiles.

Oddly enough, there's next to no info out there (or movies) about Honda, Dhalsim or even Guile!

Keep watching this space!

Already pre-ordered my game and stick.

If you don't have a stick, don't even bother.

I need a stick!

Which version of the game are you guys getting? This could be the official thread for online matchups and ass kicking as well.

I need a stick!SteelAttack

[QUOTE="SteelAttack"]I need a stick!GodModeEnabled

No derailment allowed in my mega-topics! :evil:

I'll sig a mod on you both! Oh. Wait.

______________________________________________

Besides...

[spoiler] I got a stick for ya! I'm a big HOR...i ...fan! [/spoiler]

So... Barring the new challengers for a moment... 'cause no one knows how they play, yet...

Who's your character? Who's that one Street Fighter you always go back to? (For me it's Ken, if you didn't guess that already!)

Reading the profiles and watching the available videos, any of the new guys catch your eye? (I like the moves of Abel, but the agility of El Fuerte seems great too!)

(This was the original intention for this topic, btw...!)

Nice thread, Leo!
