Sadly...it would appear the rumors are true. We're getting Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma in Arcade Edition.

I'm hoping that they are only bosses for Arcade mode. Did the trailer actually confirm that they were characters? It didn't seem like it but I can't read Japanese that well.

If they were going to add in another shoto I would hope they would have done a super troll. You know like The new Characters are Evil Ryu and Oni Akuma! But instead just put in Evil Dan and Demon Sakura or something.

That way they would still have the same # of angry customers, but they would also have players rejoice at the SLIGHT creative idea of installing these characters instead of the already known bad versions of Ryu and Akuma, and have a good amount of players that appreciate the joke/double trolling.

Haha, palm seems to build a good amount of meter... Also, Genei Jin lasts for a pretty long time(Well it only makes sense since the super bar is big)

We've got this game at the arcade I work at and I figured I'd share some small info.

Some cool features you guys might care about:

1. You will not challenge an opponent until after you've selected your character, you cannot see your opponent's character until you've selected your own.

2. You are able to switch Ultras between opponents, but neither player can see which ultra you choose until after you have both selected.

3. They've added an event mode which has a level selection option available.

4. The graphics have been enhanced since the SSF4 console version. It looks like they've used more sophisticated bump mapping for the models.

5. Akuma is a CPU secret boss, no word yet about Gouken, Evil Ryu, Shin Akuma or Shin Gouken. In SF4 Vanilla you had to put in a password to play against CPU Akuma and Gouken, we'll probably have to wait for that password this time around, too.

I think the password to unlock these characters was e-mailed to everybody who purchased the boards from Capcom. Most arcades in North America that have AE should have Evil Ryu and Oni Amuka soon (FFA and AI both have them already).

Apparently they are fun looking shotos, where one doesn't exactly play like a shoto, even though he has all the tools of a shoto (Oni). I also like how Evil Ryu has little. Apparently they aren't OP either. Just extremely flashy.

Everything I've seen of Evil Ryu just makes him seem like Akuma to me :/

Oni looks cool though. That cross-up thing looks great.

This is true.

For something that seemed like a bad idea (adding more shotos), it turned out nicely. I know some people will be playing the hell out of Evil Ryu, but at least he has low health, which makes it easier to defeat scrubs.

Oni however, seems to have more health, and deal less damage. Seems opposite to the traditional Shin treatment. He also looks more like a new character in terms of moves.
