I don't really care for his design.

Good Capcom, you made a slow, ugly fighter because you wanted to make it 3-D.

Godammit, can't I get a modern day fighter without a fucking mixed martial artist showing up? At least give him a decent costume (or replace him with a model of Dean from Final Fight 3, I could buy that).

MMA is ridiculously popular, so I'm not even remotely surprised that one made it into SFIV. You have a point though, but every time we get new info for this, I become less interested in ever playing it.

I kinda like the new guy, but that's about it so far.

I don't mind MMA so much as it seems that an MMA fighter will have no personality, no decent story, and will have eye-bleedingly bad costume choices and will just look like a waste of a picture on the character roster.

I hate Craig Marduk. >>

Well, Marduk was hardly the most dramatically interesting character in Tekken, but I at least enjoyed playing AS him.

If this new guy combines a decent bit of grappling along with striking, then I'll wanna try him out. And the whole Brock Samson resembalance IS sorta amusing. XD

...wow, this looks like someone's entered a slow-motion cheat into the game. I... damn. Whatever happened to the at-least-normal-speed SF3 combat?

Also, god... Ryu looks like he was hit with the Hulk Stick... then had that stick wail on his face for several hours.

Someone on GFAQs has implied that Abel might be based off of this man: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedor_Emelianenko

The reason for the implication is not only the style similarities, but due to the fact that Fedor's standard ring attire is this: http://vestiaire.yamamusha.free.fr/fedor7.jpg

If that's the case, then I'm even more interested in him. I've been a fan of Fedor for quite some time, and any chance to get to see more Sambo in fighting games wins for me.

See, now I almost want a new military guy who's a Krav Maga fighter, just as a counterpoint to Guile. XD

Huh. I'll have to stop bitching about Abel now since that sounds like it makes sense and the stupid outfit would then be excusable. >>

But we can still bitch about other things bout the game, like the speed or lack of it.
I'm sure I'll be okay with the speed after I get use to it but I would rather play at a faster speed. It just looks a little too slow for my tastes.

Well, I'll go out on a limb here and say that the console version is certain to have the ability to adjust the speed.

Well, Guilty Gear Accent Core Plus and BlazBlue are being made too... not to mention Melty Blood: Actress Again. Go play one of those if SF4 looks bad. >_>

What I'm most concerned about now is just how many new characters we can expect. We've already got confirmation on the 8 classic SF2 fighters, plus our two newcomers.

Frankly, of all the remaining SF2 guys, the only one I care about getting back is Sagat. I mean, I'd enjoy getting Fei Long and DeeJay back, but it's hardly a selling point, and I don't much have an opinion on Cammy or T. Hawk.

More importantly, I really, REALLY hope that the end boss isn't some sort of magic man this time. I want my final match to be against a guy who OUTFIGHTS me, not someone who uses his mysterious evil brain power or magic elemental "come-back-to-life-after-I-whup-his-ass-just-to-be-an-annoying-dick" tricks to win.

Yeah Sagat needs to be in the game. Cammy would be good for me. But what about Dan? I need to beat on people with Dan or get my ass beat because I am Dan.

I'd eat my hat if Sagat and Cammy don't make it.

This has probably been said before, but does Crimson Viper not look like she just wandered out of a Suda 51 game?

Most people think she looks like an SNK chara.
