As the heading says, this surfaced near the end of September with sources very closely affiliated to the game and leaked most of the changes to SSF4. A lot of people dismissed them, but others like myself believed in the rumors. When the supposed leaked characters began to show up in trailers, people's minds were changing. This whole thing was probably one of the worst industry kept secrets, though nowhere near as bad as the Knights of the Old Republic Online rumor circulating for years.
Now almost 4 months later, everything on the leaked list has been confirmed true. Each character has a 3rd costume, everyone has a 2nd Ultra, other modifications to balance characters, etc. Oh, and the fact that 3 fighters from the under appreciated Street Fighter 3: Third Strike were being added. Ibuki, Dudley, & Makoto are the latest 3 additions. Yesterday those "rumors" were confirmed true by the popular weekly magazine Famitsu. Some magazine scans were released, and showed all 3 in action. Today, knowing their "secret" was blown, Capcom released another trailer for the game, including the previously mentioned characters.
I have to say, Capcom knows how to put out a good trailer. Every one of these I have seen gets me more and more amped for the release in late April. With these characters, plus more to be revealed, this is shaping up to be one great fighting game. The orginal Street Fighter 4 was amazing enough, this will be even better. Check for the new trailer below!
