Nicotine Caffeine (or Kaffuin if you're going by some of the games).

Also, people keep telling me they see Gaoh in the opening of the trailer, but I can't find him.

He's during the bit at the start that looks like a painting. Pause at 13 seconds and you'll be able to see him and his spear pretty clearly

considering Earthquake's beautiful face is back, putting kusaregedo might be too much pure aesthetic power

[Baron Rider]

How come THIS gets remastered in a new style but not Darkstalkers?!

Because Capcom.

 

[Baron Rider]

Because Capcom.

Shouldn't they put a stop to themselves and head backwards, pleasing fans and hopefully attracting audiences, BEFORE something cataclysmic like Street Fighter 6 happens?

 

[videoman190]

Silhouette's of the new characters, from Famitsu. I can tell one of them is Darli Dagger and the other two is one female and one male.

Spoiler

the stream on the other two is coming on April 5.

 

[HeadcrabNinja]

[Jutsei]

She's either holdin' a reflective dinner platter or a mirror.

 

[d3v]

Also the profiles of the three new characters.

Spoiler

Darli Dagger (voiced by Yuu Kobayashi)

A shipwright who has mastered the use of various tools. She washed ashore an island at an early age, where carpenters taught her how to make things and pirates taught her how to protect herself and survive. She is currently building a ship said to be unsinkable with her comrades at the island’s workshop.

Wu-Ruixiang (voiced by Seira Ryuu)

A descendant of an ancient and honorable feng shui clan, Wu-Ruixiang is a woman who serves the Qing dynasty. With a mission is to protect generations of long mai, she travels to various places under the emperor’s command. She is wise, but extremely clumsy. She also dreads exercise as she tends to seclude herself indoors. She calls forth powers of divine beasts, and her secret art can even summon a dragon.

Samurai Shodown

Samurai Shodown

Yashamaru Kurama (voiced by Kouhei Amasaki)

A young, fallen samurai. He hates villains who exploit wealth from the weak, and moves in the shadows as the chivalrous thief known as the “Karasu Tengu (Crow-Billed Goblin).” In the past, his father was executed on false charges, and his hatred for the Shogunate is deeper than anyone other. He fights wielding his memento nagamaki sword, and uses the power of the tengu (long-nosed goblin) passed down for generations.

maaan I hope these songs get released

 

[Baron Rider]

So Terry Bogard is an extra in Fighting EX Layer, Iori Yagami is an extra in Million Arthur Arcana Blood, and most recently Heart Aino just got confirmed for BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle...

I'm gonna go out on a limb and wonder if Ragna the Bloodedge or Johnny might be extras in this game!

Baiken or Hakumen seem more likely to me TBH.

Chipp might be a good option too.

 

[d3v]

Baiken and Hakumen were actually mentioned in a supposed leak from a known leaker.

Oh let me guess, it's the guy who commented about them?

 

[HeadcrabNinja]

my dad works at Nintendo!

 

[HeadcrabNinja]

YO HEY, HEY YO

 

[Dunk]

She reminds me of Monster Hunter from MvCI, I like that. I am a little concerned about the release date so close to EVO, it makes me worry that maybe only three early top tier characters will be seen at the tourney.
