Amen, brotherdude. Personally, I will always hold a place in my heart for Q, Elena, Poison and Eagle. I mean, Balrog's pretty damn good in this, and Q, playstyle wise, is essentially a cooler Balrog, albiet with slower normals... plus I just want to see him step on someone's head in glorious 3D, so I'm still open to the idea of a third SF IV game coming out, even though SSF IV has the biggest SF roster and is remarkably balanced, and also has my personal favourite character that I've been calling for a reappearance of for years (Cody).
Also, interesting rumor: people found a Hugo icon in Arcarde Edition and are thinking that it may possibly mean Hugo remains hidden on the machine as a playable character.

Where is this living active American arcade with SSF4 Arcade Edition cabinets I see? I thought they were extinct and now I really really wanna go there.
Luckily my favorite characters ad who I will always main, Guile and Balrog, aren't ever going anywhere.
Asking people to not moan like bitches on destructoid is like asking Jack Dee to cheer up.
Never in all my meager year upon the face of this planet have I ever crossed such a miserable, ungrateful, self-entitled bunch.
Evil Akuma and Oni are a-ok in my book. Capcom need to pull their fingers out and bring them to the consoles post haste, whatever the cost. Damn I just want to air dash and throw real nasty fireballs in peoples faces, is that too much to ask?

I like how they gave the Oni a new identity. Makes it feel a little less like a reskin. And yes, I'm going to call it the Oni from now on.
So they're not even bothering to make new shotoclones? Fantastic. I'd much rather have one completely new character than two shotos.
They're meant to be playable for sure, otherwise they wouldn't have character select portraits and full endings.
People complaining about them are being silly, though. For arcades, this game is a huge fucking update, since the last SFIV arcade had even less characters than the console version of SFIV. I'm surprised they even added Yun and Yang after the other 10 characters.

Nope. I'm a destructoid man through and through but I am getting awfully tired of wanting to contribute to this beautiful site and being cock blocked by spoilt children and unwarranted negativity.

Well, yeah, of course they're meant to be playable [i]eventually/i]. People are playing them after all.
What I was trying to say was, Oni and Evil Ryu are secret characters, not available in the regular roster, and therefore, they stand in their own catagory. It's apples and oranges to compare them to great-but-standard characters like Elena, Rolento, etc.
The only other SF characters in that category are Gill, Seth, maybe Violent Ken, and Psycho Drive Bison from SFA3 (and even then, not really).

Oni fucking PUNCHES fireballs.
If this comes to the PS3 or 3DS versions of the game, I will actually buy them. Finally.

@Holmes Don't you forget Sunburnt Sakura.
WHERE'S MY SUNBURNT SAKURA CAPCOM OMG WHY DO YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME
But yeah, I'm excited about these guys. Oni has an aerial Shun Goku Satsu. Which is all you can ask for in life, really.

i guess capcom is prepping up for Super Street Fighter IV Turbo HD Remix for consoles at $29.99
looks badass, i wonder if Violent Ken can meke it here ^^

Violent Ken really needs to make his triumphant return! He was the coolest thing about SVC Chaos. Since these characters aren't even meant to be playable (I imagine they will be if capcom releases yet another disc based sf4) then might as well put in Violent Ken.

@Perron
The only problem with Violent Ken is that he was posses by the raging blood, or whatever the hell it is Iori is possessed by.
They'd have to brink SNK lore in to bring him back as it's already been established he doesn't have the demon inside him like Ryu has.

I still reserve my right to be a little upset. I mean, it is basically just an Akuma love fest. In addition to Ryu and Akuma, we now have Akuma-ish Ryu, and Double-Expresso-Version-Akuma. I CANNOT HANDLE THIS MUCH AKUMA.
B-but-but-MAYBE WHEN YOU BEAT ONI AKUMA, HE TRANSFORMS INTO HAGGAR, WITH A ONE HIT K.O. UNDODGE-ABLE GRAB!!! AND STUFF. D:
No special Gouken? Fuck you Capcom. Once again you give the same ol charachters the special treatment.
@ palpablepalpatine- Awesome name.
And Gouken is special enough as it is. It would be too soon to make a "Shin Gouken". Street Fighter 4 was his first "real" appearance!

@ Jonathon Holmes. Thanks, that is high praise indeed. Btw I loved your Sagat segments and I think your an awsome reviewer.
But yeah Shin Gouken was in SSF4 but he wasn't playable. I'm just venting out frustration that Gouken players miss out on the good stuff compared to the other shotos, or just Ryu, Akuma and maybe Ken.

Actually Oni and Evil Ryu seem to be just as balanced as any other characters(from reports of arcades) and are part of the cast as well. They're just like Akuma in the vanilla SF4 arcade. Hidden for a limited time.
God forbid Capcom try to spice up the game. But I just want Rolento to be in the last two, that'd be nice.

This is really dead-on. I agree 100%.
Still, at least we got Yun out of the deal. Yun and Elena were pretty much the only characters that I felt were obvious omissions from SSFIV.
