Japan continues to get some major Street Fighter IV loving as evidence by the new Street Fighter IV Arcade testing. This latest build of the game has El Fuerte as a playable character and is said to have Vega and M.Bison as playable fighters as well. Can't confirm Vega and M. Bison returning for sure until we see some pictures or video, but we do have this video of El Fuerte battling it out with Zangief after the jump. This latest testing of the game has also revealed a new fighter as evidence by this first video above. His name is Rufus and he's fatter than E. Honda. Even though he's obese like crazy, he seems to move pretty fast still. I wasn't really sure about El Fuerte at first, but seeing him in action has made me like the guy now. His moves look to be extremely quick, kind of like Vega. What do you all think of El Fuerte and Rufus? [Via NeoGAF and power-glove's C-Blog]

God these new characters seem so damn lame. LETS MAKE ALL NEW BIG BULKY CHARACTERS. Why?
Rufus looks like one of those cannonball-lookin bombs from the bugs bunny cartoons
Rufus's belly physics are amusing.
outside of Crimson Viper and El...El something, everone else so far is a bleh for me.
and the fact Bison is back (if this is true.) still confuses me. Cause he should be dead.
Jesus, when did Street Fighter turn into World Heroes? I guess soon a demonic football player and a viking is next?
Rufus and Abel suck but I like Crimson Viper and El Fuerte so far
I'm not feeling Mr. Short Round, but I have to agree that El Fuerte looks fun to play. I think he is getting the same reaction that El Blaze in VF5 got and I think he will probably be accepted like El Blaze as well.
Man, I want some more HUGE, totally bad-ass characters added, but right now, I guess I'm content with Refus.....jeez.
Rufus = fail
El Fuerte is fine with me, as I refuse to let go of the idea that he is El Toro Fuerte, from the Jackie Chan Adventures.
hey but Jackie Chan Adventures was a good show save first 2 seasons. After that it was hell.
I think i'll latch onto El Fuerte only cause I haven't had my fix for El Blaze just yet.
Ugh, these new characters suck ass, no thanks.
I live for any 2-D fighter. ESPECIALLY anything Street Fighter.
I don't care at all for any of the new characters Except El Fuerte. He loox pretty fucking cool. Bison and Vega coming back sounds awesome too. Doesn't make much sense, but as a hardcore SF fan, YES PLEASE.
El Fuerte looks awesome, Rufus looks like the failed offspring of Mr. Heart and Cheng Sin Zan.
I want this. I want this for the 360/PS3 and I want official Arcade Joysticks. I also want a Mucha Lucha-based 2d fighter while we're at it. Mucha Lucha kicked so much ass.
this might actually make me get into street fighter.
prolly not. but still cool!
El Fuerte and Viper are looking mighty fine and are welcomed additions in my book.
...Now Rufus and Abel... not so much.
I don't know, Rufus looks like your typical fat-demon looking-esc character, not really to my tastes.
oh well.
The game's looking sharp though.
Meh, the obligatory "fat" character has already been done. It looks they took the globular fat physics engine straight out of DOA.
I'm really not liking these new fighters. The older cast needs to be in the game.
El Fuerte reminds me of ... I forget his name, but he was in Saturday Night Slam Masters (also by Capcom) ... freaking fast like Fei Long, and does piledrivers like Zangief? He's gonna hurt, for sure.
El Fuerte looks cool. He might be a little too fast, though...Rufus, I hate how he is designed. It's like a head, a perfectly round big body, and legs sticking out, like a fat guy in an old cartoon. Do not like at all.
El Fuerte looks badass. Rufus is a doofus. (You heard it here first!) jk
I love how fluid the animation is. COME OUT SOON PLZ
El Fuerte looks like he belongs but Rufus sticks out like a sore thumb.
YES!
tubbytubbyfatfat is my new main character!
Rufus is the Bob of Tekken 6. Every fighting game need a Fatass-Matrial-Arts-Expert... expect to see one in Soul Calibur 4. They just haven't announced it yet.
I’m starting a nickname: Rufus the Doofus. Clever, huh? But El Fuerte looks pretty cool — his special move was bad-ass.
NOTHING CAN HURT DA BLOB!
I just noticed that Zangief did an attack that showed an inksplash effect....sweet!
Do you think they took Doa's boob physics and made one giant boob for a belly?
Rufus is way too agile for a fat guy.
Its like a take on boob physics... but on a belly...
Is this a humorous take on 3D fighting trends?
SO is it as you said VEGA and M.BISON or is it M.BISON and BALROG? and to make it a bit clearer you're VEGA and M.BISON is it Jap names or western names? :D
Okay Tekken 6 and now SF4? Apparently obesity is in for fighting games?
I can't wait!! :D
Western Names
El Fuerte!
This looks really good so far.
Digging everything I've seen so far. This can't come soon enough.
Rufus = Hottest use of jiggle physics EVAR!
Rowr.
This game looks amazingly smooth, I can't wait to play it.
Also, all these new characters suck even though the game isn't finished and I've never played it before, BAAAAAAAAWWW!
This game is shaping up to be really, really awesome.
And for all the new character haters out there - I felt the same way when T.Hawk was created. They just need some time to fit in and they'll be all good.
I'm liking El Fuerte.
Rufus reminds of the fat dude from the Fist of the North Star anime movie (crazy putty guts). Looks like a pretty good character to me.
Either way, Rufus is a welcome edition to have characters of all shape and sizes in a fighting game. Too many japanese games feature too many andro characters, that some games just become a cosplay paradise shop window (here's looking at you Square Enix). Its okay to have some rough looking characters to shake things up.
Blah, if this takes place between 2 and 3, I want to see some "younger" versions of the SF3 cast in this game.
And Second the "Bison is dead".
But note that he can clone himself, so maybe this is his true clone, since the one in SF2 was a weaker version of his SFA one.
Third the "Bison is dead". Dictator is lame, move on plz.
It's obvious Capcom's trying to ignore anything except SF II; and the cast sucks ass. Seriously, why couldn't they have used a buffed Rainbow Mika instead of Rey Misterio? There's only like, two female fighters compared to the ten or twelve male fighters. Not to mention the character design sucks. The overly dramatic moves and animations (don't get me started on the whole revenge system BS, either) are lame, too. Really, it almost makes me think SF IV is a parody of the series, because it's so outwardly stupid.
SF III fans am very cry. =(
I do have to agree that the obligatory fatman in a figher is very overdone. It was overdone back when Earthquake was shown in Samurai Showdown. I guess there are fads like masked wrestlers, but a fatman is forever.
i like the SF series, but SF's graphics/effects don't look as dazzling as those of guilty gear blaz blue.
They need to release this in US arcades right now!
I'm digging on Crimson Viper and El Fuerte, but Rufus and Abel really aren't doing it for me. I suppose two out of four isn't bad. They really ought to add more than one new female character, though.
honestly i dont see what all the bitchin is about.
1.Its STREET FIGHTER
2.It looks really good
3.You love the original, and this seems to be a pretty faithful recreation but with superb new graphic prowess
4.Who cares if the characters are bulky, as soon as you see the hot females in the game im sure you'll forget about fatty and lard ass gang anyway
5.God cant anyone just be happy that this is being made and it doesnt look like a total piece of shit or is reflective of the STREET FIGHTER movie staring Van Damage!
Seriously this looks friggin sweat and i am eager to play it regardless of all the fat people in the game. Hell do you all go into WalMart and bitch about all the fat fuckers that shop there too?
To the ppl that say these characters suck... WTF you like then? Dante? Vegeta? The only characters that dont have style are Crimson Viper and Abel which look too generic.
Also, El fuerte = Skullomania from EX
Rufus>Bob
No pleasing some people, perhaps we are all just spoilt fuckers.
Capcom don't do a SF game for ages and we bitch.
Now they are doing not one but two SF games, and still some not happy. The bitching is getting tired.
Respect and power to Capcom. Don't like it, don't buy it, but I know I'll be buying. End of.
0bshaky: "To the ppl that say these characters suck... WTF you like then?"
Makoto. Ibuki. Cammy. Mika, even. The art style in general I detest in SF IV--the promo art I don't mind, but in-game they're hideous. Seriously, I dare you to say they aren't goofy (look at their expressions, as well as Chun Li's penis thumbs).
If you like what you're seeing from SF IV, then I envy you. I personally just expected Street Fighter IV; not Street Fighter 2 3D remix.
But like I earlier said: If Capcom makes a pair of revisions for SF IV like they've traditionally done, and perfected the gameplay, balance, and added character favorites to those who don't pretend SF II is the only game in the franchise, then there's a shot it could be good.
I would like to see a special guest fighter Dante. Why not? They're both Capcom, and Dante has some pretty quick and sick moves. If Soul Calibur can add Vader + Yoda and SSBB can add Snake (WTF, FROM PS3 TO WII?) then I don't see why not. Special guest fighters seem to be getting all the craze right now too.
Never been a big SF fan, but the sloshing gut on Rufus is kind of unparalleled. It looks really good. Like a super-fatass in a monk's robe.
@Kalmah - Snake was on the Big N's console long before any of Sony's.
Rufus looks like he can flow. I bet it will be a blast to use him. He's just too fucking round. He looks like a clown or something... I know the game is not meant to be realistic but come on...
El Farte looks really cheap. I like him though. He plays like a Kinnikuman character somehow... In fact I'm pretty sure his finisher is the same thing as Wally Tusket's "Ice Rock Driver"
Yet another story that I don't care about... The Street Fighter has no place in the 3D realm. Or has everyone forgotten about Street Fighter EX?
@ flurecent grey way up the page:
BLAZ BLUE IS NOT RELATED TO GUILTY GEAR!!!
Oh man. I'm tired of everyone shitting all over EX. If you've ever spent a decent amount of time with Street Fighter EX 3 you know what I'm talking about. Okay, the "A.I." is weak in that game but if you have someone to play with you will never get tired of that game. I've logged more hours on EX3 than any other game EVER. And that's saying a lot.
To each his pwn I guess
this is why we can't have nice things
Fuerte looks interesting... That super was pretty nice.
