I haven't seen it anywhere, so...
In the Arcadia of the mounth, the only true news is that, in CFA☆, there is a "new" system called "dramatic counters (along with dramatic finishes and progress super arts) that is the fusion of blockings and zero counters : in other words, you do a blocking the exact same way you did in SF3, but instead of parrying and giving you a few frames to do what you want, it does a determined counter action (that can miss depending on the opponent moove).
The game will not become that parry frenzy 3rd strike was, but will it make the game interesting....
A side comment, but what I found odd about the SF3 tourney vids that were posted here recently [yeah, I don't have the URL in front of me at the moment] is how little parrying was used. To hear some people discuss SF3 you'd think the characters just stood there flickering blue and occasionally red.
Considering the Alpha/Zero counters were also thought of as abusable when they first came out until they were eventually toned down to a shadow of what they were I wonder what sort of damage, speed and priority the dramatic counters will have. Will they be something like letting Ryu parry straight into an uppercut or will it be something like Alex going for a grab that almost never connects and that has really long whiff animation? Something else to look forward to testing out when the game comes out.

Yo Iggy,
Thanks for the info, but I still don't understand how the counters work. For example, when is the counter released? Right after the first parry? What if you have to multi-parry, does the counter occur after the end of the multi-parry?
I knew parrying was in this game but folks, imagine the animation Capcom could use for this. Because its 3D graphics, Capcom could program the game so that the parrying animation is specific to each attack! Then it will really look like the matrix.
In SF3 every character only had 3 parrying animations, parry low, parry standing and parry in the air. If Capcom were really trying to make this game special, you can have Ryu do a special parry for just a standing jab, ducking short, standing roundhouse, etc. Imagine the possibilities, this would be the first game to actually look like real martial arts. Well, people still throw fireballs- how the hell do you parry that?
I'm hyped over this game now!

From what I've seen, Dramatic Counters are like Alpha Counters, just done like a parry and without need for super energy...it's an Alpha counter in effect, but it's a parry in execution and conditions!
I don't know about multi-DCs, but I know you can use them to go through projectiles (You'll just whiff!)
