Super Street Fighter 4 characters.

Just a basic 'What-I-Think' of the new characters in the upcoming Super Street Fighter 4.

The two new fighters.
Juri: Juri and the next guy boast some pretty big Firsts for the series. For one she's the first Korean character and Tae Kwon do user, another first is the fact that when new characters are made in fighting games, their usually heros. But Juri is just nasty and evil. It'll be interesting to see her cutscenes. Juri

Hakan: Hakan was mentioned in the trailer revealing Dudley, Makoto and Ibuki but you really knew nothing of him. Besides the oil part. This apparantly made alot of folks (like me) think he was an oil tycoon. But alas. He's a Turkish wrestler who usess Yagli Gure. Which pretty much means grease wrestling. An extremely zany dude who covers himself in oil before fights which makes him slippery and able to slide around the stage. Awesome. Also on a side note, in his reveal trailer you see a woman behind him when they reveal his name, I'm guessing that's his wife. And she still looks good after popping out all those kids. Also it's nice to see Grapplers getting some much needed spotlight in fighters. SWEET! Hakan... may cause some laughs near the end

Returning from Super Street Fighter 2
Vid
Dee Jay: Ol' Smiley is back! HELL YEAH MON! WE BE JAMMIN'!
T.Hawk: Didn't really like T.Hawk in his first appearance... hopefully he'll be more fun to play this time.

Returning from Alpha
Vid (includes Juri, T.Hawk and DeeJay aswell as the characters i'm going to list)
Cody: Originally from Final Fight. Cody seems to have pretty much the same style as he did back in Alpha... which unfortunately mean those god damn rocks he throws are probably back... s**t!
Guy: One of the only dudes I actually liked in Alpha. Helluva lot better than Vega in terms of ninja. Also his izuna drop is back! ******** YES!
Adon: in summary, the speedier version of Sagat. Not much to say.

Returning from Third Strike
Vid (also includes mention of Hakan at the end)
Makoto: While I loved pretty much everyone in Third Strike (my personal favorite of the whole series), I really didn't like Makoto, her attacks were weak, reach was short for most moves. But it was nice to see a karate user in Street Fighter (For your information, Ken and Ryu use Shotokan, not Karate as alot believe)
Dudley: My fave character of all SF glory is back baby! Why do I love Dudley? For one he's black, british, boxer, AND DANDY! FEEL THE FURY OF THE DAPPER PUNCH MY GOOD MAN! What's going to be cool is to use him against Balrog who is more of a charger type character.
Ibuki: Next to Guy, Ibuki is pretty much the most ninja o the whole SF series (sorry Vega... you were cool but when I heard you yodeling in one of your winning poses... you ruined it). I've always loved her story, a simple teenager trying to balance school life and Ninja training. Just like something from a shoujo manga! REAL MEN READ SHOUJO IN PUBLIC!

It's a great and wonderful cast of new characters for the game. Though I kinda wish they'd bring Elena back other than Makoto. But then again she would kinda clash with Juri as they are both 'Kick Only' characters. As in all their attacks are kicks, kinda like how Balrog's and Dudley's attacks are all punches.
