Capcom are looking to revive the popular SSFIV series with a batch of five fresh faces and six new stages at a cost of $15 per download as revealed by @Slasher and the destructoid team.
The four new confirmed characters are said to be Elena, Poison, Rolento and the giant Hugo who were also recently featured in Capcom's failed cash cow, Street fighter X Tekken. The fifth combatant remains a mystery for now although this person will supposedly be a completely new character to the series.
Capcom won't rest as this is now counts as the fourth Street fighter iv version and while these characters may be new to SSFIV circuit, they're technically recycled from SFxT so not exactly 'new' right?
Fans will even probably argue that this is four years late considering that the Arcade version was released way back in 2010. Either way this should excite hardcore players and gradually revive the SSFIV online mode. The Dlc will be coming to PS3, Xbox and PC soon.

Whoo... All this Street Fighter IV love is getting me so hype!
ReplyDeleteI guess it was wishful thinking to assume that the character popularity poll would actually play into 4's dlc. I'm not sure how much I want to shell out for dlc that's just SFxT characters ported over. The new character sure, maybe.
ReplyDeletewhy no Karin, Sean?
ReplyDeleteElena?
ReplyDeleteI got a new main!
Poison will be mine. She's my girl. ^^;
DeleteYou mean he?
DeleteYO WHERES ALEX AND KARIN???
ReplyDeleteSince this is the FOURTH version of Street Fighter 4 they're making, I don't doubt we will see another Marvel vs. Capcom 3 version soon. I bet it's going to have Mega Man.
ReplyDeleteMarvel don't want any more updates. It's out of Capcom's hands. According to ex VP Svensson.
DeleteAre you serious I waited for this just for them to tell me there putting characters in from sfxt? I was really hoping Alex or Sean was in they were going to be my new mains
ReplyDeleteno Twelve.. no reason to get it. SSF4 still doesn't have a character I want to play >_>
ReplyDeletei wanted these characters when AE was announced not after theyve all been used in SFxT. now would be a chance to put in Alex, the highly requested Karin, and MAYBE two other characters we wouldve liked more instead of just putting SFxT characters.
ReplyDeleteeh, i guess im still "happy" to play Hugo and Poison
Isn't Hugo in the metro city stage? haha
ReplyDeleteOnly recycled characters... Oh, Capcom, always so predictable.
