Well I wanted it, and I received it; much sooner than expected I might add. One thing that I can take away from this is the fact that I now fully understand the love behind Dudley people have, what a truly amazing character he is, so British. His ultra is reminiscent that of 'Punch-Out' was my first thought, and no doubt a faster and better combo specialist than his American rival Balrog also. The music is fantastic, a splendid score, for it brings his 'third strike' stage theme into the 21st century; my tastes aren't what they use to be so I could be wrong about that statement. Being as popular as he seems to be around these parts, no doubt I shall be coming across this guy many MANY times over the inter-web modes, he'll be the Ken of today; least he doesn't have a hadouken eh.
Ibuki you certainly can't go far wrong with; at least from what I see, the teen ninja seems to have all of the right tools and looks great from her SFIII days, and an ultra to match. She reminds me of Vega somewhat, a very quick attacking character who uses the air to great effect, if tiers are introduced again; of which they most likely will be, I can see her hanging around near the top of the board, or at the very least middle sector. The music score is good again like Dudley's; maybe too much like Dudley's if you know what I mean,
but it's certainly not as calming as her original obviously to which I preferred, and takes away her unique background a little, but it's in keeping with the feel that is evident with everyone else in SFIV.

Out of the three shown here, Makoto impressed the very least which saddens me. Perhaps the footage didn't quite show us what she's really made of, or that the music score was disappointing, but she seemed somewhat sluggish. She comes across here as the sort of character that will take time to master properly, but with the probability that she could become one of the toughest in the whole game makes her existence here not all bad. Her ultra makes up for a few negative vibes at least, smashing someone right in the chops has quite the appeal; especially if it leads to your opponents crushing defeat. I am intrigued by how they plan to introduce her into the game, as she only made her first appearance in the third game from the SFIII series; a bit of a gap if SFIV takes place beforehand.
The game is finally beginning to take it's final shape, and with oil wrestler Hakan making his vocal appearance right at the end; at the same time as cementing his existence, it takes the newest editions total to the roster up to a healthy ten and thirty-five overall. April 30th CAN come soon enough......please?
