I wouldn't call that ever being dead.
GO ON capcom bring it fast i can't wait. HA DO KEN
anyway, that chick is looking pretty SNKish(KOF) to me. I wonder if Shinkiro is working on this game, since that would explain the similarities.

As for the visuals I was really disappointed that it didnt retain the kanji like style, its too bright for my liking, and character models don't appeal to me at all. But at the end of the day SF has always been about competitive gameplay im sure it will live up to the hype.
New chick looks like a mash of several SF characters, Rose, Juni, the lady boy that follows Hugo around, and the bearded dude that had the baseball bat in the EX series.
I'm cautiously optimistic. I want to know why they're focusing on new females when I have a feeling that Ibuki, Makoto and Elena are going to get left out in the cold. He says there aren't enough girls in the SF universe, but that's really not true.
I think Ibuki and Makoto will be definately be in the game, if you look at the SF3 cast they are the most original characters and loved more or less by everyone even if you dont use them. They are always great to watch.
If you havent done so, go to 1up.com and watch the gameplay and interview footage!!
We'll see how it turns out. I'm just being a little cautious about the hype surrounding SF4, because personally, I see it as quite a big deal.
They need to reveal Chun-Li now. I hope she looks cool. Will Sakura finally make an appearance in the core franchise? Is Cammy back? So many questions. I'd be pretty bummed out if we just got the SF2 cast + a couple of new characters. I'd rather see a sparse number of SF2/SF3 characters and a large new cast that don't look like elite beat agents.
I love 3s more than anything, and after seeing the gameplay videos, this game reminds me of those old SF EX games. They didn't suck, but were nothing like 3s or the alpha games. Character art can be improved some, but I have big respect for these guys using cell shaded like 3D even if I was hoping for some rich high res 2D.
I sure hope it plays well. Need more videos!
