I think that second ultra should earn the game a ESRB rating of M. Really I don't like Cody, I don't like T. Hawk, I don't like Dee Jay, Adon has different controls in different games, in alpha 2 he was my favorite, in 3 something was different and I never figured it out. Basically I am happy enough with extra Ultras, and the SF3 guys.

Reminds me of Will Ferrel in the Ladies' Man:

Haha, at first, I wasn't really that interested in this character, and since people were saying he was going to be a homosexual, I was thinking his final desing would look sort of like Urien/Gill from SF3:3S (notice I said sort of).
Now, after seeing the man in action, I find this guy absolutely hilarious. It sure is going to be fun beating Fireball spammers with this man. And his ultras are win! Especially the counter one. Nothing is more degradating than losing with an ultra like that.
In my views, that really makes the phrase "You just got raped!" stand out.
On another note, I saw the picture of this man with his wife and kids. Anyone thinks his children look a lot like toadettes?

Kirkpinar! Turkish oil wrestling! This is the best thing ever! I hope at least one of his grapples involves shoving his hands down his opponent's pants. That's the way it's done.

Almost as lame as rufus. I was expecting a cooler final character reveal.

Sadly, I can already picture the loads of 'fanart' prominently featuring his fists...
But there's always rule 63 to make it awwright.

At first I was excited to hear that there was a rumor of a Turkish oil wrestler because there hasn't been a middle eastern character in Street Fighter (or at least the main series street fighter). But this... this dude doesn't even look human.

Turk here. We don't fit so neatly into the "Middle Eastern" bracket. We're more white than Westerners think. I'm personally olive skinned with curly black hair and brown eyes. I certainly don't look WASP white, although I may be able to pass as Southern European white.
However my sister has white skin, straight light brown hair and gray eyes. If she walked around in a WASP anti-Muslim town in America she would fit right in and no one would think she is a Muslim! However I would stick out like a sore thumb =P
Turkish is one of the few ethnicites in the world with a variety of phenotypes.

We get this... character... over the likes of Karin, Elena or Alex? Hell, I'd even take Twelve over this guy. This is just... dumb. By the sound of his character, I thought he was going to be some sort of Middle Eastern wrestler that dealt with oil in some business matter.
Not one that rubbed himself in it, then himself on woman. Fail.

This guy looks a lot like The Creeper (DC Comics, old Batman acquaintance), except this guy is red and buffed. Anyone remembers the Creeper from the comic books?

I'm all for new characters but I would've much preferred to see Rolento in his place
Posted: Mar 10th 2010 10:07AM Cafecito said
What the hell is this shit? Hope there's a DLC to remove him. Damn Capcom, you could've done so much better (Karin would've been great).

#1. That guy is Megaton Awesome
#2. He is basically a Guido from Jersey Shore
#3. PC gamers will mod that oil to be White and sticky

if they wanted a middle eastern grappler with a gangs of New York style mustache then why not just take Darun from SF EX Plus Alpha....
On that note the version of Kairi from the First one should be in here too...

I don't know what you are all talking about... That dude looks awesome! :P

A grappler who makes himself slippery....wouldn't that be something you WOULDN'T want to do? If you're going to make him weird, why not make him put on a suit with velcro all over it so he can more easily grab people?
That's like having Ryu come out and chop his own legs off...how's he going to do a hurricane kick with no legs or jump in the air for a shoryuken?

I can't believe Capcom wasted time on this guy when they could have put in another character from Street Fighter 3. Disappointing.

(unnecessary info) Hakan is the Turkish name,he is a Turkish "pehlivan" i think.It means some kind of wrestler.
Turkish wrestlers oiled themselfs before the game.

Oh god, just looking at him makes my eyes water. Betting that his ending involves being chased by a flock of birds that see nothing but a "big shiny thing"

This is really nice btw, the tournaments for the Oil Wrestling in Turkey are in spring/summer time.
Because of oil and wrestling under the sun for a long time, the skin gets red. Also the leather pants that the wrestlers wear are nice details.
Also as I can see in the reveal trailers, some of the grappling moves are the techniques that are used in actual Oil Wrestling.
But the blue hair and the Lion Shaped Barrel are unexplainable :)
But for now It seems that this guy will be my new favourite character.
