Well, for starters, here's your current lineup:
SF2: Ryu, Guile, M. Bison, Zangief
SF3: ChunLi, Yun, Alex, Urien
Darkstalkers: Demitri, Felicia, Jedah, Anakaris
SFA: Sakura, Karin, Guy, Rose
Red Earth: Leo, Hauzer, Mukuro, Null
New characters: Ingrid

Here's your different grooves/isms what have you. I think it's based on what character you pick.

SF2: No subsystems, but you do alot more damage, and apparently can delay a wakeup. I also think you get a super bar, ala Super SF2 Turbo.

Alpha: You get air blocking, custom combos, alpha counters, and weak supers.

SF3: you get the universal overheads, superjumps, quick stand, dashing, and of course, parries. CvS2 style parries though. You do get more then one super though, and 2 levels of meter.

Darkstalkers: ES and EX moves, air guard, chain combos, guard cancels, "moving wake up", and hitting knocked down opponents. They do less damage then other characters though.

Red Earth characters get guard cancels(Ultimate Counter) and super combos. They get gems by fighting, which can be used to level up or use supers. At the end of a round, though, they lose all levels. Levelling up makes them do more damage, and assumedly, take less. its done with both medium buttons.

Ingrid gets CvS2 style C-Groove, essentially. All grooves have throws done with the two weak attack buttons,
It's a team game, more or less. You choose which one of your characters you want to play as in each round, as my understanding. Super meters carry into the next round.

A few character notes-Alex's dash and normals are fast, but his specials are slow, and the darkstalkers characters absolutely murder him, since he can't use any of his mindgames against them.

Zangief does so much damage that his piledriver is almost Samurai Shodown-ish.

Jedah, Anakaris, and Demitri are prety dominant in this build of the game, able to use their subsystems well enough to pretty much destroy characters like a turtling Guile, or Rose.

Urien's Aegis Reflector got toned down.

I heard Ingrid plays alot like an SNK character, which could be interesting. I've heard one thing about this game-it's not boring. It's a fun game, and that's why I'm really looking forward to it. Supposedly it ends up playing like a cross between Alpha 3 and Guilty Gear. And I know I can't argue with that.

Nope, no Ken. He's a background character, so the chances of him being in the game are next to nothing, along with my boy Honda :(

I'm looking forward to CFJ, even though capcom's record for new franchises tend to suck-case in point: X-Men COTA, SF2: World Warriors: SF3: New Generation, SFA1, or Street Fighter 1. Still, it has potential, and by having a beta test this early in its life, they have time to correct the problems (a lesson they clearly learned from SNK's Sam Sho Special).

Speaking of Sam Sho Special, Robotron is getting the home cart soon, so expect me to put up my thoughts on the game as soon as I can.

What I like about this game, is that A) It's back to a nice "round" format, no team on team thing, B)The fact that you get 2 characters to work with, making a new twist to counter characters, and C) it's fast paced. As long as those 3 things stay, I'll be playin it.

WTF, dude. That's all I got to say. This is regarding the lack of Ken and Honda. Actually, I'm not too surprised with Honda... out of the original eight World Warriors, he's probably the least famous, sadly enough. But no Ken?? That's gonna take a little time to get used to... I'm not too broken, however, as they are presenting three of my all time favorites; Guile, Yun, and Guy (who rules regardless, despite the fact that he's not one of my better characters.) As another surprise, while I'm not a great fan of Darkstalkers, they managed to fit in Jedah, my favorite DS character, without a doubt. If the roster isn't yet complete, that would be good, because I have GOT to see my main man Akuma as a part of the playable characters. Him and Sagat would be very noice.

About Bison... he has his Psycho Crusher in this game? It resembles his Street Fighter 2 incarnation as opposed to Street Fighter Alpha? Damn, they toned Bison down in Alpha... and I wonder who the boss is gonna be... I'll eat my hat if it's Gill.

Supposedly Akuma is the boss...no word on if he's playable. Not that we need him, with Ryu in there.
