As Nakky promised over on the official Super Street Fighter IV dev blog last week, the new issue of Famitsu carries within it some hot new character reveals for SSFIV. Officially joining the roster this Spring will be Adon, Cody and Guy from the Street Fighter Alpha series.
Looks like Adon's foot was probably the source of Chun-Li's pain in that Focus Attack screenshot we saw last week, and the new stage was Cody's. This being a leaked scan spotted over at Shoryuken, Capcom still has yet to release any official information on these characters. But a look at the scans gives us a taste of what kind of action they'll be bringing back to the game.
Perhaps when they get to talking, they can tell us why Cody is still wearing his prison clothes and shackles after all this time.
And if our SFIII fans out there are feeling let down, don't. Take a look at the gallery below and you'll see that the cropped shot of Guy's punch is blocking a kunai. Furthermore, the text above that image in the magazine pulls the Chun-Li teaser stunt from last week and asks whose it might be.
Hmm, kunai ... I don't want to speculate, but I'm going to guess her name definitely rhymes with Ibuki.

My childhood would cry out in joy.
If Makoto and Dudley are confirmed, this will become my favorite fighter of all time.
I'm still holding out for Makoto and Dudley.
This roster is so versatile now. Its amazing that they are releasing this at a reduced price. Capcom rules!
Awesome!
I'm with you 100% on that statement.
The Ibuki projectile is a bonus to know about too.
@Brad
Didn't Scorpion have a rope tied to his kunai?
But anyway, they are only showing Alpha Characters. So hold your horses.
I'm 99% sure you have nothing to worry about so far 6 of the 10 rumored fighters have been revealed so there's no doubt that rest of rumors will be i.e were getting ibuki which you can tell from the screen shot anyway plus theres no doubt we will be seeing dudley, makoto and the other new fighter. so the roster is pretty much set nothing to worry about.
What unintelligible voice actor will they pull in for such a character, though?
DAMMIT, I GOT FUCKIN' GUY!!!
That's it - this is officially a wrap, folks. It's like they went and handed a genocidal maniac (that's me, in this case) two dozen nukes and told him to have fun (that's the rest of the world, in this case).
It's motherfuckin' Bushin time.
Hard to say, but if Brad Pitt himself was willing I'd go with him for the full Mickey feel. :)
At this point, I'd pre-order the special edition REGARDLESS of what's in it. If it costs 4 times as much and came with that Street Fighter Snuggie, I'd be motherfucking SET FOR LIFE.
Here's to hoping the final number of new characters is in fact TEN.
But As far as SSFIV goes...GIVE US HAKAN ALREADY!!!!!
POR QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NOOOOOO?!?!
Anyway, Guy is gonna be a lot of people's main now, I can tell.
Cataract will have Adon to complain why isn't he top tier.
Here's praying for Sodom to SOMEHOW make it in.
Now all I need is Rolento.
Well, I need to go change my pants.
I'm actually happy to see Cody in his 1920's prison uniform. I don't think his costume defines him as much as most other characters' do but I'm glad they did not ditch it.
So many awesome characters... when this drops I may not bother playing another fighting game for years!
