Badass official art to kick off the news post~
I knew it.
You knew it.
We knew it.
Everybody knew it.
But Capcom kept denying it.
At last, after a lot of teasing, hints and leaked info it's official!
And by "lot" I means LOTS of leaked material since last year.
The two last characters to join the cast are:
- Sentinel, one of those X-Men hunting Marvel robots. A returning character in fact from MVC2.
- Lei Lei/Hsien Ko from Capcom's Darkstalkers series. Yum! :'3
One word on these new additions? Awesome! Both are great!
Here's some screens in the meantime:
And the brand new trailers showcasing both newcomers:
My first impression as a long time Vs. Series fan?
Hsien Ko looks totally awesome! Just as bizarra and brutal as she originally was.
Sentinel looks...slower than last time...? Maybe to balance the gameplay. (he's a big mean one)
This was the last announcement. The total of available characters is now up to 36!
The game will be out in ~2 weeks, on February 15/18.
On a separate note here's the new characters that were announced to join the cast of SF in the arcade release of Super Street Fighter IV:
That's right! It's classic cult obscure characters, Evil Ryu and Oni Akuma/Shin Gouki.
I'm pretty sure Capcom will be releasing them at some later point for the Xbox 360/PS3, specially since SF developer Ono said the game was DLC friendly. (or they simply lied to us, and will released another version again under the label "Super Turbo Reboot DX Director's Cut Ultra Championship Edition")
Here's more screens:
