Joke about Poison's penis. Also: "Will you cross the line?". The jokes right themselves.

@RaidenMitsuru: @takeoffyourpantsandjacket: Final Fight and Street Fighter share the same universe. This isn't her first time in a SF game and isn't the only FF character to appear in one.

Soul Calibur Yoshimitsu is way cooler than Tekken Yoshimitsu.

Final Fight was developed and published by Capcom. Additionally, Poison has already appeared in multiple Street Fighter games.

Did they seriously just pair this with new Hollywood Undead?  What is going-on over there at Capcom these days?

Alpha had Rolento, Sodom, Cody, Guy; 2nd Impact/3rd Strike had Hugo and SSFIV had Cody and Guy (and Hugo in the background). Final Fight, Rival Schools and Street Fighter are on the same universe.

" According to the book All About Capcom Head to Head Fighting Games, the characters were originally planned to be cisgender females, but were changed to transsexual females (or more specifically "newhalfs") due to the suggestion that "hitting women was considered rude" in America and the concern that feminist groups would sue." 
 
That's probably the most "interesting" part.

Hey, Poison, awesome.  I'm still not buying this game until we get the second, 'superior' version of the game that will come out 6-12 months after the first game.

First time Poison has been playable since Final Fight Revenge if I'm not mistaken. The more I see of this game the more fun it looks.

Fuck yeah Tekken 3-style Yoshimitsu. Everyone knows that's the best Yoshimitsu design. And they're using his awesome robot-demon-voice. 
 
I still don't know what to think about the other Tekken characters speaking English though.

Now that's a well done trailer. If they confirm Lili (will probably happen) and maybe Dudley (probably not) I might bite.

This comes from the same article that raiz linked.
 
Street Fighter IV's producer Yoshinori Ono, when asked in an interview about the matter, stated "Let's set the record straight: in North America, Poison is officially a post-op transsexual. But in Japan, she simply tucks her business away to look female."
 
So ninja and laketown, the DUDE looks like a lady.  And Cody's into it.

You can't believe anything Ono says...really.
She was a women. It was not ok in the US to beat up women so they said she is transgender, but she never really was.

I'm just going to skip the Poison debate in the comments and say this game looks fucking bananas. I love the darker art style and the announcer seems to have gotten even more ridiculously over the top. Also the crazy juggles are going to be fun even if I won't be able to execute most of them.

ALL I CAN THICK OF IS HOW FUCKING AWESOME STREET FIGHTER X MORTAL KOMBAT WOULD BE, which makes this game kinda depressing really.

@ProjektGill: All we need now is the intro song to be more Street Fighter IV rather than Super Street Fighter IV for the over the topness to be complete.
