Update: A video of the panel has been added into the story.

Capcom announced at the Street Fighter panel at EVO 2013 that five new characters and six new stages are going to make it into the next Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition 2012 update.

The new characters are the four from Street Fighter x Tekken: Rolento, Elena, Hugo and Poison. The fifth character is a brand new one that has never been seen in a Street Fighter game before, which does not exclude the possibility of it being from another Capcom franchise.

Hit the jump for more information.

This is a DLC download which will cost $15, or $40 as a direct digital download/retail copy of the whole game. The DLC will work with both Super Street Fighter 4 and Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition through a continuous upgrade path.

Players who purchase the full digital release of the update will receive all previous DLC costumes for free. Also, UDON is designing brand new costumes that will be released as a pre-order bonus for retail.

The trailer showcasing the brand new name and logo will debut before AE Grand Finals at EVO 2013. The release of the game has been stated to be "early 2014", to be released on Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Japanese arcades via the NESICA system.

Ono rules out Asura & Bad Box Art Mega Man as fifth Street Fighter 4 character, talking with EVO players about game balance

Capcom will be making an official announcement later in the year as to who the 5th character is that's joining the Street Fighter 4 franchise. Yesterday, Capcom announced that Rolento, Elena, Hugo and Poison would be added to the lineup, but they said there's one more who's never been playable in a Street Fighter game before.

Today, Capcom's Yoshinori Ono ruled out two candidates, Asura from Asura's Wrath and Bad Box Art Mega Man, who was a PS3 exclusive character in Street Fighter X Tekken.

Ono also said he's been enjoying talking to players at EVO about the balance of games like SSF4 AE v2012 and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

Yoshinori Ono ✔ @Yoshi_OnoChin

I could talk to a lot of SF/MvC series players about detail of tunning at this EVO time. Its very good experience.

Yoshinori Ono ✔ @Yoshi_OnoChin

Asura!! Unfortunately, he isnt. RT @RandomReduX any chance the new SFIV character will be Asura, since Ryu and Akuma showed up in his gamE

Yoshinori Ono ✔ @Yoshi_OnoChin

OK Fat MM doesnt join to SF. RT @rafaelmartines Please promise me that the new character is not Fat Mega Man

I've stopped regularly playing fighters because I don't have the time to dedicate myself to them on the level I should anymore. So I never checked out any version of SF 4 before. Might go a couple of rounds with this one just to see how the "ultimate vision" of the game is.

I would never. These people do nothing but master these games in their free time. Like I used to do when I was a kid at the arcades back in the day lol

It's more for me to play through the single player with some select characters and play against people I know in real life for money and shit like that. I can't be as dedicated to fighters as I once was but I could still casually enjoy them every now and again that way.

Pretty disappointed that they're sfxt rehashes, but can't say its much of a suprise. I like the new font for the logo though. Who do you think the new character gonna be

[genocidecutter]
