Fans, have been teased by Capcom and EGM for years about his inclusion in the game. But, this year that joke may change as this is souped to be the best Street Fighter game to the franchise.

Capcom is likely to cash in on the popularity of this character and listen to the fans as they demand that Poison and Sheng Long to finally be included in a Street Fighter game.

If I remember correctly, Poison was removed because of violence against women. The whole transsexual thing was because of a failed attempt to turn her into a transsexual to get away with this "violence". In the end she was replaced, but in the original design she was very much a woman.

As for Sheng Long, that would be incredible to have him exist. Wasn't he supposed to be this all powerful being that had an over powered version of every signature attack in the game? It is hard to believe that he wouldn't be a disappointment after a rumour like that, and due to balance issues there is no way he will live up to that much hype.

Don't quote me on any of this. There is a good chance I made most of it up. lol

DAMN poison looks hot 2 bad she is a he or he is a she whatever!! WHATEVER happen to the original Street Fighter?

but to the best of my recollection. The master of Ryu and Ken was Gouki's (Akuma) older brother, Gouken.

^ right, that's what I thought... this whole Shen Long thing is new to me.

I know things can be weird in video games as well as movies and other forms of entertainment,but come on now; it is a little crazy that poison character is a he/she.Anyway,I have played SF Since it first came out and it still is one of my top three fighting games of all time! I can't wait to play the new edition.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster924d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
