Capcom's Street Fighter IV will not be adding any new characters to its roster anytime in the near future, in an effort to maintain the core game's relevance.

While Capcom has already released two downloadable content (DLC) packs for Street Fighter IV, with the first being "Championship Mode", where players compete for points and ranking, along with the ability to record and vote on matches. The second DLC pack was five sets of alternate costumes for characters, and later on a value pack of all the skins.

In a recent interview with Gaming Union, Seth Killian, Capcom's Community Manager, revealed that Capcom has,

No plans for additional DLC right now. We want the core game to be a completely functional package, and character DLC could split the user-base.


Players can probably expect more DLC like the above, as they don’t affect the gameplay; just not anytime soon. However, there are no plans at all to add characters such as Dee-Jay and T-Hawk to the rosters.


That is fucking bullshit! You promised you penny pinching mutha fuckers! :fight2:

I don't remember them promising extra characters, but I might be wrong......

I'm not that bothered to be honest, I'm hardly expert with the characters that are available anyway.
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

As they mentioned at the end there, DeeJay and T-Hawk barely missed the release and didn't take much work to finish off. They were almost a certainty to see release once the extra costumes were done (which they are).

Dee-jay they can keep but T-hawk was/is cool in a spastic sort of way.

They could always release the chars and just make them unavailable for ranked/championship play.

It seems strange to sit on clear money winners though, as if they did release those characters they'd make a mint from them. You have to respect that, at least.

This coming from the guy who always wants more cars. :P

MvC2 has over 50 characters and I still wanted more. You can never have too many.
