Rufus is MALE. I have confirmed this. He looks like Cheng from Fatal Fury, Bob from Tekken, Heart from HNK... you name it. He looks AMERICAN, but looks like a wanna-be Chinese fat guy. Whoever posted that in 2ch was misinformed.
He is a fat, obviously caucasian who has a half-beard (no growth on the chin, but has hair on the lip). Has one of those chinese hairdos where they are almost bald, but has a ponytail and a patch of hair. He wears a skintight suit that exposes his stomach and a patch of hair where his navel is.
I played him once... he seemed hard to move with but had a few good moves. It was mesmerizing to watch his fat move... he's built like an orange. I called him the "uniboob". It's like if you had a DOA girl, but she had one boob and the boob took up her whole body. With a patch of hair down the middle. That's Rufus all right.
El Fuerte was like Ramon from KOF, but hyper and way fast with the command run. He is dangerous if you knock someone down and play wakeup games, but he is high-risk with his attacks. His Ultra is not very useful, because he will jump in the air and can only catch a grounded opponent from midscreen. It is also slow, ironically. You have to leave yourself wide open to get hit from this.
He has an anti-air command throw, some moves he can do while running and that's pretty much it. We are trying to figure out how to make him successful, but it will be difficult because if he's running, he's very vulnerable.

Or more likely, was misunderstood by the person who reported it.
I don't know if they will add more characters, but if they add even one more my money is on Gôki first, and Cammy close second.
Rufus has a girlfriend. His moves have great names, Kyûseishû kick, ginga tornade, spectacle romance, space opera symphony...
There are a lot of new background, including a very bright shadoloo base where they look like they are producing wine (which might be a nice reference to Capcom's ex CIO).
The faces look better, especially Ryû/Ken.
Vega acts like a mix between both versions, floating in the sky and talking as a big undefeated boss.
The selection screen looks good and full, 8 upward, 8 downward. Not good for any further addition.
Balrog looks good, and plays well. The direction holding works fine. He can loose his claw, and has metallic sounds when he guards with it.

Not much info on Vega(Claw), but everything I've read is simply AWESOME. Maximum Spider-esque Ultra? That's one of the most awesome supers ever, so... WOHOOO! EX Wall dive hitting on the way up? That's just amazing! I would have never thought of adding that property to his EX dives. And has a badass taunt, too.
Also, from the vids, El Fuerte looks even better in movement! I'm really surprised with this character, I think I'm going to like it a lot.
Regarding Rufus... Well, so far, I don't like him. Maybe when I see more pictures and videos of him, I'll dig the design, but so far he looks horrible.

I don't like him either from what I've seen, but so far I've had at least a little bit of nasty stuff to say about everything in the game, and the combination of time, screenshots and loketest reports have changed my mind about almost everything, so... it's hard not to be open about it, I guess!

Rufus vs Blanka
El Fuerte ve Zangief
Well, the game looks better than the previous loc-test, it seems really good even in these bad resolution vids.
About the charas: I like El Fuerte al lot; he seems a hybrid between Ramon and Blanka, and the style is very interesting. Pretty well animated too.
Rufus is REALLY a giant boob ^^'
I don't like his design much but it seems fine to me gameplay-wise. His animations are also good, exept for his boob-body, so absurd.
Now I want more new characters, especially girls.
And please, Cammy and Gouki are fine, but STOP WITH THIS SF2 TRIBUTE!!!

I just came home and posted the rest of my report in srk.com. The game is coming along nicely. The only thing I worry about is that the two newcomers (El Fuerte and Rufus) are lacking a bit in moves. They have a lot of potential if they added more stuff to them, and oddly enough it's good that this game is in 3D because that means that it's much easier to add/subtract things in the game. For example:
* Abel's super is completely changed
* C. Viper now has a few useful kicks that actually can hit out in front of her, if she jumps forward.
* Some characters look much better, some look the same, but hopefully the final version will give everyone equal love (no C.Viper love in this loketest apparently)
I understand the general public and their concern of this game being too much like SF2 in 3D. And really, it is an opinion that is very valid. The game plays like Super Turbo, with speed of gameplay similar to 3S (except for Fuerte, who is on crack).
However, the gameplay is very solid, even moreso with the small tweaks they have done this time around.
Maddy and I had a similar argument before I actually tried the game 4 months ago, but what he said to me made sense. Capcom needed to go back to the basics, bring back the players that loved the game years ago, and make it really fun to play without having to learn so many complex new things. Games like Tekken, VF and even the later SF games just got too complicated and scared off new players. IV is very very accessible and fun for both new players and expert players.
If you liked 3S and hated ST, yeah you will hate the game. Unfortunately, it does go old school with zoning being a main game tactic, but there are some new school tricks that opens up the game much more than ST did.
Maddy was right... he's always right. He is probably God on Earth.

Well, I can't say the game looks bad anymore,
I must say that I'd like to know what has brought about this change of heart.
Just for the record, "looks" means "seems" in this case.
But I feel that way mainly because of positive reports and updates to the game. I don't know if all the little graphical hiccups are fixed or not, but I know the renders are being updated, and the animation has certainly improved from the earlier footage.
Before, the only reports I had were nothing but hype from the general gaming press, which is the last source I trust. Now that more people have sat down with the game, have nice things to say, and those nice things seem to be evident in the videos, the game seems solid enough.
I still don't like...well...just about everything about it, but it doesn't look like a bad game. Before we had much information (or information from sources I could trust), I think that fear was justifiable.
