man the rooster shown in game play right now is a bit too.. well sad. Yes I'm sure the final revision will have double that or something (it better).

I am liking how he is respecting fans' requests and whatnot.

Dalshim and Guile's stages looking good to me.

 

Still irritating though (and very sad, too) that jumping characters always have screen focus. You can't see crouching characters that well (i guess beat down characters [actually lying characters] completely disappear). @Guiles finishing Sonic kick it gets far too high of the ground.

Or @Honda's stomp attack round 0:15 // and 3:20.

 

Never liked vertical scrollings. Doesn't belong to a flat Beat'em up.

ALot of reports thus far that Sagat and Boxer are CPU only fights. Which is if you only fight against CPU, they'll appear. SST here we go.

Abel looks pretty tight... but I'll be disappointed if there's now claw in the game

You had my hopes up... I thought you meant claw Balrog, not boxer.

Why is it that, in Japan different characters are named after other characters in the game?

from Wiki:

When Street Fighter II was localized in America, Capcom was afraid of a lawsuit from boxer Mike Tyson over a character with his likeness and a similar sounding name (Mike Bison). Additionally, when the designers presented the game to Capcom USA's marketing department, they believed that the name Vega was a weakling's name.[1] They decided to rotate the names of three of the four boss characters in the following manner:

 

The boxer is known as M. Bison in Japan and Balrog elsewhere. In discussions among English-speaking players from Japan and elsewhere, he is called Boxer.

The Spanish assassin/bullfighter is known as Balrog in Japan and Vega elsewhere. In discussions among English-speaking players from Japan and elsewhere, he is called Claw.

The evil dictator and head of Shadaloo is known as Vega in Japan and M. Bison elsewhere. In discussions among English-speaking players from Japan and elsewhere, he is called Dictator.
