This week's update comes courtesy of Nakky's blog over at the official Super Street Fighter IV website, and teases some big news on the way. Nakky has a screencap of Chun-Li being treated unkindly by someone of unknown identity, and she says there'll be "something huge" announced next week.
Nakky teases, "Chun-Li's getting beat up... but, by who?" Seems pretty safe to assume the big news will be a character reveal, and Nakky says the info will also be published in the 11/26 issue of Famitsu, which goes on sale shortly. This pleases me, because as we all know, Famitsu tends to be ... how shall I put it ... less than watertight with its secrets.
We'll probably know for sure before we're supposed to, but until then, feel free to point at the new stage pictured above and speculate as to whose it might be. In the meantime, Dan Hibiki, El Fuerte and Rufus have been added to the official character profiles page as well.

I mean the attack pattern of the Focus Attack seems really hard for a grappler to do(which is what Hakan would be if he's real).
Consider most other grapplers in SF4. Zangief's and Abel's FA always have the brush stroke on their body.
Case in point, I think it's Rolento. Fucking A', it better be. :D
Also they would have it blocked off it was a character in SFIV like Cammy or something.
You know, from Alpha 4.
You can play as Reptile!
I agree 100%
And Metro City would be great fan service if anything.
Yeah, that's exactly the move I was thinking it was.
Of course, if Capcom wanted to surprise me by making it Elena's Mallet Smash, I would be in total and complete favor. I don't have that kinda faith, though.
I want to believe.
The increased level of detail on the backgrounds is making me really happy here, I think that's the main thing in common with 3S. They look really alive!
CONFIRMED.
But the idea that this is an Oil Refinery seems a bit far fetched, particularly in that it's way way too close to the city to be safe, and you know Mayor Haggar wants to keep his people safe.
And the relation between an oil refinery and Hakan at all seems odd too because Oil Wrestlers use Vegetable oil, not crude oil -_-
I'm not particularly fond of any of the FF characters, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I think this is gonna be either Guy or Cody.
Zangief stole Hugos clothesline, Sakura never had a knee move like her focus attack, Guile stole Alex's qcf+p slash attack and made it into his focus attack, Honda's, Cammy's, Ryu's, etc. They're all new moves entirely, as opposed to modified versions of moves that they already have.

But whatever, speculation is fun.
That's totally Brad Nicholsons Focus attack.
And Rab, they can't use Darun Mister. Akrika Character and all that jazz.
Exactly. Unless you're de Bloo and you think it's Rolento.
" de BLOO
urgh, of course everything I posted here is IMO."
..."
Look, I can't read, OK.
