Dee Jay And T. Hawk Coming To Street Fighter IV?

Announcer audio featuring some old Street Fighters surfaces. Could new characters be on the way?

MAXIMUM

Earlier today, Capcom released a "benchmark tool" for the upcoming PC release of Street Fighter IV. It's essentially a non-interactive demo of the game that'll run and let you see how well the game will run on your system.

Yeah, I think it's sort of silly, too. But considering this is a game you probably wouldn't want to play at all if you couldn't get it running right, it makes some sense.

More interestingly, some folks have been digging through the audio files and came up with some announcer audio that specifically mentions Dee Jay and T. Hawk, two Super Street Fighters who didn't make it into the original release of Street Fighter IV. As EventHubs points out, the two characters were, at one point, under consideration for inclusion in the game. So this leads to the obvious question: is this leftover audio that just never got cut out of the game files, or is this a sign that additional characters are still on the way?

That's something we'll probably have to wait for Capcom to reveal. Meanwhile, if you're after that benchmarking tool, FileShack's hosting it. It's nearly 400MB.

Actually, i think Cammy and fei long are quite all right. If you put some time into them, they'll definitely give you something back. Not a big fan of Dee Jay and T. hawk though.
Can anybody give me the Dee Jay movelist?? I was always kinda lost on the guy.....

What problems do people have with T. Hawk?  I never knew what was wrong with him.  Could any of you explain what it is that makes you dislike him?

Dee Jay was my favorite from SF II Turbo so I'd be pumped if this was sign of new characters.

Paying for extra characters?  Definitely don't approve of that.  Tips the scales in a very unbalanced way...

Character DLC won't happen. In order for Capcom to add more characters, they would have to fully re-released the game, which there are rumors that Capcom would do so.

If they made T.Hawk & Dee Jay easier to use, and not so cheap or annoying, people would use them more - I also think if you're a true fan of the Street Fighter series , you'd add them/ download them - I really hope/demand they add more SF Alpha & SFIII characters to the list.

DeeJay was as deadly as Guile so im sure it would be a good thing to add them. T. Hawk was a bad Gief rub off and shouldnt be included.

That would polute my game when it already has a perfect roster. I also doubt those ppl are going to be downloadable characters, it's all speculation.
