The new fighting game character news just keeps rolling in today! Courtesy of the latest issue of Famitsu, we get out first look at the newest addition to the Street Fighter world. I continue to approach all Street Fighter IV news with cautious optimism. The game is being produced by a man who worked heavily on the god awful Capcom Fighting Evolution, and visually there are many niggling complaints to be made about the game thus far, but at least it's a new Street Fighter game. That's something I wasn't sure I'd ever see. Now Street Fighter IV officially has given us something we never had in the Street Fighter world before -- a red haired, brown-skinned woman with a flair for half-opened, button-up shirts and hair styles popular with Japanese biker gangs in the 1950s. My feelings on this are understandably mixed. I'm just hoping that unlike Poison for Final Fight, Crimson Viper will never give me cause to think "WHY PENIS WHY?" [Via NeoGaf - Thanks, Justin]

She looks very KoF, but then Rose always looked more Darkstalkers.
SHe looks like she would belong in No More Heroes
I can see this being similar to Poison
I'm not really sure what to say... I guess new ideas are always good, but in the end its all about the gameplay.
Spoiler: Crimson Viper IS Dark Smoke Puncher.
Yes, I recycled my own joke. That's still more bearable than Ryu's bulge.
Tranny Alert! I mean Sterling, Alert! I mean...Lame. They might as well have named her Black Mamba...CV=fail
Not sure what to say. she doesn't look like she really belongs in SF. she lookslightly outlandish without being outlandish enough.
I also done thunk poson/why penis why.
This character design, it's not awful it's just... meh.
She looks like a librarian from Hell.
I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating cookies.
The characters are all a blur past SF2 to me. I stopped playing the series when it ceased to get ports on the SNES
looks like a cross of Vannessa from KOF and Macy Grey
Not impressed.
Stick to the original characters capcom, stick to the originals.
Or her:

Damn youz BBCode!
Her:
"Crimson Viper will never give me cause to think "WHY PENIS WHY?""
We'll see, man. We'll see. ;-)
She looks like Rose.
that's stupid, you're stupid
She looks like Tay Zonday.
Looks good, but it's on paper. If Ryu and Ken are any indication, we have no idea how this will look in-game.
Oh man, that doesn't look good. Everytime I get more news on this game the receipt for my purchase seems to morph further into a ticket aboard the fail train.
Everyone bitches and bitches, but you know... I like this character already and welcome her to the fold.
Actually I think she looks like Kelis:
I'm with ---AMARU---, she looks like she could be Travis Touchdown's sister.
Hm. I really don't know what to say about her.
She just doesn't seem very Street Fighter at all.
Even the name...Crimson Viper?! Meh.
She looks like a lesbian yakuza.
And Kelis^ is fit. Good job Guitar Atomik.
Very No More Heroes-alike.
Honestly only the name is bothering me right now...hopefully it is a nickname...and I would like to see the hair on top a little more free...ie not in a clump on top :)
Somebody forgot to close their bbcode tags. That somebody is Jonathan Holmes.
Also, I would fear to face that woman in combat, armed as she surely is with righteous (lesbian) feminism
Meh. She looks OK. Don't really care. I just want to see more of the game, and yes, they are sticking to the core Street Fighter II characters so quit yer bitchin' about keeping it original. A little extra never hurt anyone.
She looks like a character i'm not going to play.
I thought they specifically said that this would be taking place between SFII and SFIII, and would not introduce any new characters. I'm not upset, just confused.
basically.... what Cheeburga said.
That name sounds strangely like a Mega Man X Boss...
while i always appreciate new street fighter info, i dont know about her...
also, yea i immediately thought she looked like poison
It's not a video of her in gameplay so.... *indifferent shrug*
I hereby proclaim thee
STREET FIGHTER IV: BIG FUCKING THIGHS EDITION
Let's get it on now
Select and make your first pick!
Let's get it on now
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six
Let's get it on now
Choose and pick the best one
Let's get it on now
Five, four, three, two, ONE!
I had to look up the word niggling to make sure it was a real word. You just stomped my mind grapes into mind wine with your large vocab. Also, crimson viper would not even have been allowed as a call sign in the movie top gun which had such winners as iceman and maverick.
All I'm going to say is, "She'd better have some good moves."
Looks okay to me.
@ Nilcam; My thoughts exactly on the KoF reference.
@ Snaileb; err, no she doesn't.
She looks okay. I'd only mind if she was a cheap fighter or a rubbish-to-use one.
This is exactly the kind of character design crap I didn't want to see in the new SF. The dream is over.
Looks like a lil bit of Fergie in the character.
I translated the name myself using a Katakana chart and and a little imagination.
The direct phonetic translation of the Katakana to her right is "Ku-Ri-Mu-Zo-N Vu-Ai-Pa".
So don't have me fired if it turns out that her name is actually "Cream son, wipe her".
I like the hair. All you people seem to be missing the hair is obviously that of Cammy and Charlie's daughter.
The rest, we'll have to see.
More like Cammy and that goof ball from Yu Yu Hakusho. What's his name? Zorro?
You know the one I mean.
fap?
meh
chocolate rain?
@Niero: That was SFIII: Third Strike. According to Capcom logic this would then have to be SFIII: Third Strike Turbo Thighs Edition
@Johnathon: Design-wise, she reminds me of the Street Fighter EX characters mixed with KOF. I'm simply not sure how successful that will be for Capcom considering how poorly the EX games did. Also, I salute your banner as you did mine; it's fucking tight.
Yeah, at this point I'm really feeling like SF IV should be renamed SF INO (in name only).
But I am ready to be proven wrong.
Wow! You guys are all taking this news WAY too hard!
This is ONLY a character design...something that they are trying that is new...that isn't EXACTLY what many expected.
The game right now looks like they are spending buku amounts of time to make it awesome, and we've ALL seen the videos for it and the new fighting system for it. Right now, I've seen many singing their praises for this game. Now a character design comes out that doesn't look perfect to us and we're going to shit all over this game just because of this?
I understand that this isn't the most perfect design they could've came up with for a new character, but c'mon, stop busting them up over this! She may actually be an awesome character.
Yeh! Break out the Vasoline! I'm about ta jack off!
Oh sweet, a new character. Please be a woman!
Jordan is a greasy jerk
