The sad thing is I don't think Hugo has been competitive in any game he's appeared in except maybe SvC Chaos. He's like the grappler version of Dan, though not as obvious a joke character. He's just way too big and way too slow. And I'm a fan of him.

Good idea to do what they did with AE and go the split release route. $15 for just the upgrade and $40 disc for anyone who doesn't have the game yet or lost it or sold it or whatever. Also glad to see it isn't just a character/stage pack and they're changing things around.
Wonder what new modes and gameplay changes they're adding. Truth be told that excites me more than the new characters.

Anybody notice that Hugo is still in the background of the 'Skyscraper Under Construction' stage? It's only of note due to the background characters in 'Small Airfield' changing depending on which character's used.
What? Absolutely no one gives a toss? Thought so......

SF4 plays differently enough from SFxT where they can't just be straight exports. Sure they re-use the models, but so what? The models in SFxT look pretty nice and can fit in well with SF4's models. It's not like they're putting in Morrigan's Darkstalkers sprite like they did in MvC2 where it looked so hilariously out of place. Besides for anyone who doesn't really play SFxT, they're just as new characters as anyone else who could've been in the game. Hopefully he'll be a lot more competitive and easier to use than he was in SFXT. The sad thing is I don't think Hugo has been competitive in any game he's appeared in except maybe SvC Chaos. He's like the grappler version of Dan, though not as obvious a joke character. But here's the rub, is there really that many people who cares enough about this DLC to get it that hasn't played SFxT by now?

Probably more than you'd think. SFxT was a pretty awful game when it first came out combined with the DLC On Disc controversy, along with a bias against Tekken from 2D fighter fans. The game got it act together with the 2013 patch that made it viable, but even then that's just the competitive part of the FGC.
I know a lot of big SF4 fans that skipped out on the game entirely for one reason or another. I don't own the game either and have only played it a few times before and after the 2013 patch. So the DLC interests me a lot.

Three great fighting games for 40 bucks? Now that's what I call a good deal.

I wonder if there Ultra's will be upgraded seeing as each character gets two? Cosmic elevator returns? I love that stage, probably my favorite from SfXTk. As for the fifth mystery character I hope it's something unique. I doubt a Darkstalkers character would make it although I would love to see Sasquatch A Powerstone or Rival Schools character is a possibility.

Now that's a series that deserves some recognition.

Unfortunately, due to almost all of the character designs, minus Haggar, were made by Tetsuo Hara, who apparently is still in a dispute over Capcom regarding something, the franchise is dead and buried.

If we are getting the mad gear hideout stage I think that counts out Haggar who explodes out of the main stage after a couple of rounds. I'm looking forward to the first T.Hawk v Hugo encounter and of course the various silly dialogue and taunts we will be getting. So from a stage alteration pov ... the skatepark needs to remove yun and yang, dino crisis needs to get rid of the tekken boxing dino, the blast furnace needs to remove the tekken sumo guy, you could keep the mech zangief as i'm sure there's more than one of those in cosmic elevator, pit stop is fine I think and the mad gear hideout is fine as I doubt we will see haggar, Sodom or damnd in USSF4.

I don't know. Haggar really does seem the most likely candidate at this point. I still want Alex, though, I don't care if he's already ruled out due to Ono wanting to add someone who hasn't been in a Street Fighter yet.

^ I hope not, he wouldn't fit in the game at all. I think Dante could fit into an SFIV/SFxT styled engine, but he'd need to be seriously toned down from the offensive blitz he was in MvC3. The use of his sword and guns would have to be special moves.

Now that they've announced that their bringing Strider back, is there any chance it might be him?

The mystery character is said to never have been in a Street Fighter game before, not fighting games in general. But still, I highly doubt it's Strider, or anyone from Capcom's crossover games.
