Updated rumor: Street Fighter IV Dash Characters

Update: Earlier in the day another thread sprung up on the Shoryuken.com forums talking about the Street Fighter 4 Dash (Champion Edition) characters and again after getting to a couple of pages in length — it was deleted.
Once could have been an accident, but happening twice in a short period of time seems very suspicious.
Perhaps the original poster was truly on to something.
Regardless, take this rumor with a dose of sale, nothing in here has been confirmed, yet.
Henaki on the Shoryuken.com message boards mentioned he heard through a friend of a friend of a friend that the 10 new characters for Street Fighter IV Dash (Champion Edition) are:
- From Street Fighter 2: Dee Jay and T. Hawk.
- From Street Fighter 3: Dudley, Ibuki and Makoto.
- From Street Fighter Alpha: Adon, Cody and Guy.
- Plus two completely new characters.
Now, pretty much anyone could jump on the forums and claim these characters will be in the game, but Henaki has a solid reputation and a ways after his post was made the thread was deleted. Normally, threads are locked for stuff like this, but the current post was up to 4 or 5 pages before it was zapped.
Regardless, it will be difficult to know the facts until more is confirmed from Capcom or another source, but we know from the official Japanese Street Fighter 4 blog that something is coming soon.
