« Yun & Yang coming to Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade? New Hints revealed in Arcadia Magazine »
haunts;)
Azrael over at SRK posted up a few photos of the new Arcadia Magazine which includes some of the first hints of the additional characters coming to the arcade version of Super Street Fighter 4. This isn't the first time this image has surfaced, but it was originally assumed to be fake -- these photos seem to prove otherwise. You can clearly see a skateboard and a pair or rollerblades, which are staples accessories for both Yun & Yang.
The official Capcom blog mentioned that they would release hints on the upcoming characters this week. We'll have to wait and see if the Saikyo Blog will offer more details or simply the same silhouettes contained in Arcadia Magazine. Stay tuned!

I think its them. The hint from the character spaces beside juri and hakan probably wasnt their shape, but maybe the fact.. That they looked like each other.
I dont really care if its them. Id rather it be someone like Karin, but Ono has been saying R. Mika. So, Maybe there are more characters coming.
i hope this is true
I would love to see Yang in this game, I always thought his playstyle would be a perfect fit. On the other hand, having Yun on the roster seems a little redundant if you ask me. That said, in the back of my mind I'm thinking this is a red herring to throw everyone off from the real announcement. I guess it just comes off as a bit too obvious, and again, I feel if they were going to actually add these characters, it would be one or the other, not both.
Either way, I'd love to see them in the game, much more so than say Oro or Q or f'in R. Mika.
capcom has a history of poorly kept secrets and...less than subtle hints, I'm sure it's true. A little disappointed myself, but the character base is already good enough for me so I can't complain. What am I talking about... this is the Internet- of course I can complain! Waaaaaah I didn't get what I wanted ;_;
A lot of people complaining else where about it not being alex/charlie/elena/karin... So many people hate yun and yang for no reason, guess because SF:3S had a more niche market, but that being said why do a lot of people want elena, alex, and Q? I'm sure a lot of the people making these requests rarely played these characters but you never know I guess.. Oh and Charlie? Hes Guile 2.0 do we really need that?
Can we just agree that this wasn't a hint, but a reveal?
I'd love to see these two in the game. For whatever reason I feel like they'd play really well within the SSF4 arena.
Honestly, I never thought these two would make it in because (as Haunts pointed out) it seemed like there would be some redundancy. But, then again, all the shotos are distinctive enough.
I hope we don't get any more shitty alpha chracters.
Probably two of my least favourite choices. I was hoping to see some characters with more original play styles. It just seems like these two will not change the way the game is played.
i'm pretty sick of seeing these characters and i dont even play 3rd strike.
it just seems like the only thing do see from 3rd strike is chun, yun, yang, or urien(which i do enjoy watching).
at least its not another shoto..
they should have SKULLOMANIA in the game...
I don't think it will be bad if these are the two, Franky most of the whining is coming from people who really want X character badly. Yun is someone i have always wanted to pick up and really get down to learning.
I think Haunts might be on to something. Yeah capcom is bad at keeping secrets, but it seems odd to just toss in two more third strike characters. Even more odd when you think of Ono's comments in the past. Best thing about all this is we will hopefully know soon. I also wonder if this will be on consoles around the same time that the new costumes hit.
Yun and Yang? How about Oro, Elena and Eagle? Oro vs Gouken for the right train Ryu would be awesome..
"For the right to train Ryu."

"Franky most of the whining is coming from people who really want X character badly."
Absolutely correct, sir.
Oro, R. Mika, Elena, Rolento, etc, etc, I'm cool with any of them getting in too, but Yun and Yang--how can you hate their inclusion? Play 'em in 3S, they're both fun as hell, and will probably transition into 4 even better than Makoto, Ibuki, or Dudley.
I read on Kotaku that there might be upwards of 6 new characters ultimately in the works? http://kotaku.com/5627104/hints-at-new-super-street-fighter-iv-characters
Makes me wonder if we'll be seeing a couple new chars every 6-9 months or so...?
"Franky most of the whining is coming from people who really want X character badly."
or people who wanted more variety...
I think it's definitely possible. They were both show in Chun Li's story trailer in 4, as was Adon, and they ended up adding him.
I REALLY hope this is what they're doing because then then only one left to add is CHARLIE!!!!!
and he's the one character I've wanted them to add from the start...
This game needs more wacky/bizarre characters. Not more "cool" ones.
People, WTF is up with y'all and Charlie? They have Guile, they gave guile his power. How can they add a character that is DEAD in this timeline? Are you all dumb? Wake up already, it's not happening and all of you begging for Q didn't even use the damn dude. And last but not least they already stated that they WERE gonna do a NEW capoeira character before but chose Hakan instead. I think most of you just want a cool looking character not an actual good character becuz I have yet to see an r mika player in alpha. Get off the bandwagon, y'all weak asses just wanna see if they give her titties a jiggle effect.
