Edit: rumour has it now that there won't be Rolento (so it probably is Adon), and that the remaining new characters will be: - Hakan - Dudley - Ibuki (one of the Guy images shows him stopping a kunai) - Makoto

Im coming from Tekken, however, Ill wait till they fix the network problems before even trying to buy that game. Im also surprised at the lack of depth within the street fighter series in terms of moveset + movement in comparison to Tekken which is more fast paced with a lot of movement, I played it as a kid but I didnt know it was this much simpler, but I guess im still a newbie, so can anyone help me into getting into this game and starting up.
Yeah Street Fighter movement is intentionally pretty restrictive. Try SRK forums for character-specific discussion, but expect quality to vary widely between characters and posters. The wiki is a decent resource for system and frame data. Not sure if anybody does "this is what a player should be thinking about" writeups or beginner tips, or anything like that. Are you looking for tutorial vids or just high-level match vids? There's plenty of videos of top-level play, so that's not exactly a problem.

I always thought Cody was boring too... really like his design though.
Anyone else receive and uncommon amount of hatemail on Games for Windows Live? - most of it is really entertaining. I've gotten a few messages recently I thought worth sharing.
I don't have screenshots of the first few messages he sent me because GFWL auto-deleted them, but the story begins with me taking a couple matches from him on Ranked the first day I started using my new stick. My laptop Mic must have been on because he messaged me that I was a "faggot" for having a stick while he, as a real man, used his keyboard to play-- I didn't respond.
I saw him again a couple weeks later and joined. He's using Sagat now, originally he was playing with Boxer I believe. Round starts and he chips me a couple times with TSs and I notice that he set the time for 10 seconds and it was a 1 round match. Time expires, he wins. I laughed a little to myself and played a couple more matches before recieving this message:
I wish my messages were saved but I will try to give the gist of what I was saying. To the above, I responded with a simple, "Lulz." Nothing else, I was not yet aware of what I was getting into.
Ouch. Before then, I was going through life unaware that I blew ass. I suggested to him that the divekicks could be blocked both high and low, and were really nothing to be too concerned about.
Blocking isn't his style though.
Weeks passed, I received some sporadic hatemail from a couple opponents when I picked up sim as a secondary, but it wasn't the same. Then all of a sudden he was back, and I found my way into one of his games. I was excited and anxious about what was to come. I usually play with sound muted/music playing but not today and I could hear him talking to someone about how much of a "douche" I was and using various adjectives describing me as an unskilled player. I listened, and the game didn't start. I heard him say "This kid has no life, I can't believe this faggot is still here." I couldn't believe it either, so I stayed in the lobby and left to make a sandwich and have a cigarette. I came back a half hour later and he was still there. He really didn't want to give up. I turned on Dexter and smoked a bowl before he finally disconnected after ~40 mins.
I sent him a message complementing his game dodging skills and expressing my disappointment that he had given up after so long. To it, I received:
I told him that I was surprised by the change in language, that before I thought he couldn't have been more than 13 years old. I also mentioned that I thought I had heard him talking to someone with a masculine voice and not the girlfriend he asserted, but added that if it was a girl she might have severe pulmonary problems. From the response that follows, apparently I also criticized his grammar and used the word "diatribe" at some point which truly outraged him.
I don't know what else to say. Not only does this man have a 136 IQ, but he has a girlfriend who may appear in a commercial and once attended open tryouts for the Denver Nuggets. I hope to achieve half as much as him in my lifetime.
It's just easier to send detailed messages since the keyboard is right in front of you. I usually only have pleasant exchanges but that it probably because I try to avoid bad players.
the most i've gotten is "faggot" *leaves* on GGPO.
well actually one guy while I had cammy and he was picking ken and losing. so after a little while he got mad and switched to akuma. Not on HDR, but on ST. I kept playing because I was curious how I would do against this guy's akuma because of god awful his ken was I figured i could still win. After a very difficult match I won then he said "why are you so cheap" and he left. i dont understand

That is golden, hell I would settle to be a quarter of what he is.
One time I got called a stupid pussy fag because I headbutted, jumped over, and ex absorbed every single one of this guy's fireball. ): I almost quit SFIV because he pointed out how I only know how to BLOCK moves.
