Well maybe people agreed that the the EX Dreadkick is WAY to simple as a ultra setup.. and we all know it is... Seems its more simpler, than Goukens throw to ultra...
(Which baffles me how come Goukens back throw doesn't take damage, even though he throws ya outside of the screen...?)....Riiiight...

didn't they make gouken's back throw really easy to tech on purpose to prevent it being abused? Vague recollection of reading that...

And yeah, it should do SOME damage if uninterrupted. So annoying online if you whiff his tatsu

I think there's a few extra frames to tech Goukens backthrow but the timing is slightly different than a normal throw tech. That's why the option select throw tech doesn't always work.

According to an interview at the Norcal regionals with Seth, DeeJay's EX dread kicks no longer crumple.

It did seem a bit OP at the time, wonder how DeeJay will fare now and if they'll give him another way to land his ultra.

Bummer. I didnt really think it was overpowered, especially when you look at how many ways rufus can land his ultra without even using any meter.

You have about 50 years approx. to tech Gouken's back throw.

In ST and Alpha 3 Maz DeeJay can super after an upkick so I'd say he'll be able to Ultra from than in SSF4.

Sorry for the double post but:

http://iplaywinner.com/news/2009/12/10/super-street-fighter-4-teaser-image-surfaces-second-new-char.html

According to the rumoured list of new characters, the second entirely original character will be called Hakan and, depending on who you believe, he is either a Turkish oil wrestler or a hilariously stereotypical oil-obsessed Arab. If the guy hidden behind the Blanka toy is indeed him, it seems (to me, at least) that Capcom have thankfully gone with the former.

Yeah, same thing posted here. This is getting ridiculous, capcom are doing this shit deliberately!

Retr0gamer

You'd swear they were doing this to get me stupidly excited!

Now where's Ibuki!

Looking at one of those links, where it said "Some characters will have air ultra's" I hope to god that they brought back Akuma's super fireball, I'd rather that than two demons...

As long as he's not as much a mujahideen as Gief is a crazy Commie, I doubt I'll mind.

Didnt this chap have a super called "Dhrum Bomb" or something like that? Threw ya into space and SPD ya back to earth... Took so much hp...

K.O.Kiki

So I just read the questionnaire about Cody.
"A character for players who like switching around a lot."

Hmmmmm...

D4RK ONION

I hope he doesn't use the Gen system, I hate that so much.

Nyet; he'll just have different move properties depending on whether he has a knife or not. Additionally, he'll have a wrench & lead pipe as weapons.
Also, he should have lots of command moves (a la Makoto), if I'm reading between the lines correctly.
More on EventHubs.

Nice info:

If you bought the alternate costumes for Street Fighter 4, you'll be able to download them for free!

Should mean we'll get all the new characters costumes for free also.

Also, the background? Is that Africa? Who's from Africa?

Placebo

Sagat06
