Hmmm those flashes could have been new characters, but I think they're just new costumes. I know the guy who looks like Paul is just one of Jacky's new looks... but who was the football player and kendo fighter?

Yeah, I'm assuming the same thing -- no new faces, just new costumes -- since the captions just before this sequence refer to "new items" and "new techniques." I think the footballer is Wolf, but I can't tell who the kendouka is. Random_Silver at the virtuafighter.com forum agrees on the footballer, and believes that it's Akira in the kendou gear.

EDIT: Finally managed to pause the video on a good frame of the kendouka. I agree that it looks like it's Akira. It appears to be him in his usual white gi, with the kendou helmet popped over his head -- I think I can see the ragged edges of his gi's shoulders sticking out from under the helmet's neck-protecting sideflaps.

Perhaps SNK will include them in the upcoming 3-D "KOF Maximum Impact" for PS2, and then license them (and some of their other characters) to Sega for "SEGA vs SNK: The King of Virtua Fighters."
At the very least, Brian Battler and Jacky Bryant should be selectable drivers in Sega's next formula one racing game.

Looks interesting, and I'm sure it will only be about $20 or whatever, but I'm not sure I want ANOTHER copy of this game.... and if they do that "let's throw away Vanessa's REAL P1 outfit and replace it with another copy of her P2 outfit for no reason" thing again, I'm definitely not getting it.

Actually thus far this is an arcade-only release.
Edit: Okay, first Goh's 2p outfit looks suspiciously like Jin's... then this Brad guy looks like Steve... now Jacky looks like Paul? WTF, is AM2 having an identity crisis?

I heard that the Thai boxer guy...what's his name...doesn't really do Muay Thai in Evo. But in the vid, it seems like they gave him a true Muay Thai outfit (meaning Joe Higashi) and made him fight like a true Thai Boxer. (you know all that swaying and pivoting) Is this true or am I seeing things? (I don't play VF4 you see)
My biggest gripe with Evo was that there was no kicking martial art representation. No TKD (how I wish they'd add one) and thai boxer doesn't do muay thai justice. I hope they fixed this problem.

Sarah's style is listed as TKD, I think. And Brad is supposed to be just a normal kickboxer, not Muay Thai... I think. I'll have to recheck the manual when I get home.

Brad's a Muay Thai fighter. The manual says "Kick Boxer (Muay Thai)" for his style. Actually, I've always thought "kick boxer" was the same as "muay thai fighter". He does sway in Evo, and his P1 outfit was the traditional Muay Thai outfit (you have to earn the arm and head ties, though). Vanessa used to use Muay Thai as her second style, but they changed that for Evo.

Well, you're obviously only referring to the US version. Also, though so far it's only announce for Japanese arcades as Gojira said, the liklihood of a PS2 release in Japan seems... likely. The chances of a US release seem slim-to-none, however. I don't think Sony would let a third VF4 in such a short time slide, even as a $20 title.

Well yeah, that's what I meant about the whole Vanessa thing (in the US version).
There's no telling if it will get released here. I'd ASSUME yes, but... it might not. Who knows.

Sarah is TKD? She doesn't look nor feel like one though... And Brad fights more like a kick boxer than muay thai- he is a total sleezy punk in the story too. I want the "VF realism versions" of Hwarang and Bruce...you know what I mean?
"Brad's a Muay Thai fighter. The manual says "Kick Boxer (Muay Thai)" for his style. Actually, I've always thought "kick boxer" was the same as "muay thai fighter".

Well kick boxing is not the same as muay thai- my understanding of kick boxing is that it's more like a sport the way boxing is as opposed to a martial art.
I wish that Brad would be either a pure kick boxer or a pure muay thai...not some half assed punk. A faithful adaptation of muay thai and/or TKD into the VF engine would kick so much ass. (no pun intended) Come on Sega...do it now!

Although this is incredibly sick looking... I know it's just a small holdover for the Japanese players anxiously waiting for VF5 (which is in development as I speak).
I did hate how they took away Vane's costume, but supposedly they did because it would "upset the kiddies". Which doesn't make sense because original VF4 had the costume completely intact. BS IMO =P

I agree, too. That's the part that bugged me the most- the fact that it was in the original VF4, but not Evo.

I have a question related to VF4EVO:
I have a customized Kage after playing Quest Mode, and I have a friend who has a customized Akira. Is there any way of loading both players in the same game? I want to kick the butt of his "Rurouni" looking Akira with my "Yankee" hair-styled Kage!

On two separate memory cards? I'm pretty sure you can't. That was another bizarre change in Evo- second memory cards are NOT TO BE TOLERATED.
I mean, you can't even load replays from another memory card within the game.
