Meanwhile, SF4, a much better and more successful tournament game than MK9, has 44 characters.
They need more 1P content than they have had, though, so maybe a smaller cast helps that.

Don't resist it! Embrace it and Buy PS4 and SFV .
And the pasta bowl and ryu sit down in the train...honestly that stuff bothers me.
In this game Chun Li gets a bowl of noodles stuck on her head and Ryu is punched into a bus seat.
Wow you weren't kidding. That was excellent

So the Illuminati took Rugal's remains, after his death in the KoF franchise, and revived Charlie with them. The SFV story already sounds awesome!!!
But on a serious note, Charlie looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!! His moveset, his super, his artstyle...off the charts!
I'm also liking the further refinements to the graphics engine and art assets. The characters almost have a clay-like look to them. I'm not sure if that's a negative or a positive, though it's certainly different. I also like they added spectators to the background of the China stage to make it looks more active.
I think sending this game through beta testing is the perfect idea and avenue to refine the netcode and get the roster more balanced before release. The limited arcade releases in Japan aren't cutting it anymore.

For Urien, I heard that Street Fighter V was placed between Street Fighter 4 and Street Fighter 3 in timeline. Basically we haven't met Urien yet in a sense.
It's possible that Bison might got new body in Street Fighter V. He was looking for a new body in Street Fighter 4, correct?

Completely missing the point. First I'm not talking about success with just competitive players. I mean I started my original post talking about single player content, come on.
Second, it has 44 characters have 4 revisions. It started with 17, and later 26 for console release. But SF4 is what started this new age of fighting games. A game released that way in present time would be panned for being barebones the same way Marvel 3 was.
Dang that would be so unfair. Better make it a command move.
can be tiger knee'd though

Not really commenting on his looks more as his new questionable moveset.Besides even Vergil has a flattering imitation of the move that destroyed many lives and wallets at arcades. You know what I mean,the Genocide Cutter!
Charlie and Guile can never be bros again now that he's got more than 2 specials
Charlie's always had more than two specials.

Damn, game looks much better to me now. Hype trailer!
I really hope so, I really like the III series as a standalone story cause even though its pretty much standard SF wackiness I dig the tone a lot more.
Remy is the character from 3 I expect to never see again.

What made this move awesome apart from the animation was the sound (it sounded like a blade) schliinng!. It was always so satisfying. CVs3 next please.

Zombie charlie, reminds me of vicktor from darkstalkers
I thought it might just be because Bison secretly has a drinking problem, and THAT'S why he goes through so many bodies...
Of course I played Marvel. I was posting about UMVC3 hype threads we had here just like you were!
Marvel's pacing of it feels much different than me, especially with the team-switching and overall feel of the game. One of the things I love about KI is that it brings gameplay normally only seen in more mechanically-complicated fighters into a more pure 1 on 1, oldschool-ish fighter. I feel like Charlie here is doing something similar, being more of a "VS game fighter" design, but under the umbrella of normal SF. I wouldn't even say Chun'sters stomps in the first trailer, ending with the spin, seem directly "street fighter" in their speed and feel. Nor do these post-round KO animations. If anything, it'll be the things that DON'T feel purely SF that make me buy a system for this game. Much as how I loved the Alpha series for seeming less like pure SF, and more like a SF / Darkstalkers series hybrid.
Anywho, considering how fresh some of KI S2's characters are turning out, I do hope some of that freshness rubs off on V. If anyone has the clout to make characters into fresh takes on archetypes, and make them stick, it's Capcpom!

Be like me and just cry into a pillow every night. It helps.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!
Meh.
I never liked Charlie.
I never liked Charlie.
The original SF4 had 17 playable characters. People forget that the massive roster SF4 has now was built up over many editions of the game.
Obviously they shoehorned Victor's unfinished model into Charlie after Darkstalkers is not dead, died.
Obviously.

Rugal will be proud.
Yea it would have been perfect if it had cutting sound effect like Genocide Cutter.
Well it doesn't quite seem like he's a zombie or even evil as he says he'll only have to kill Chun-Li if she gets in his way. So it sounds like he has some kind of mission and is still somewhat good.
Nan I think we will get a lot of the others over time. We already got Alex in TvC.
Remy though doesn't have a fan base and even if had a small one it's nothing compared to Guile or Charlie and they actually have a story to use.
Remy just has NOTHING going for him.

Glad someone found the color correction. The visuals look a lot better now.
My only roster request is a grizzled, too-old-for-this-shit Haggar with a five o' clock shadow and graying hair. He can replace Zangief if need be, who I'm sure will return as DLC or in SSFV.
Alpha brought us Cody, Guy, Rolento, and Sodom, SFIII brought us Hugo, and SFIV brought us Poison. Haggar's time is now.

I just meant that he's the only normal dude left, besides Alex (who I forgot about, he probably has a decent chance of returning too). Like, fucking TWELVE is never coming back, for example.
I think the new returnees in V will be Alpha dudes, mostly. Oh, and Skullomania.
