Street Fighter V - Charlie Nash trailer; beta for all pre-orders in NA

So you ignored the second sentence in that quote where I say that and just focus on the first?

I said that Ken would be in, but I believe in Ono's mind the three biggest SF Characters are Ryu, Chun, Akuma.

Ono didn't direct MvC3. And Akuma was in MvC3 primarily because of his history with the series. He was a hidden character in X-Men:COTA.

This is a fair point. I shouldn't say Ono so much as Capcom as a whole who continues to push Akuma along side Ryu with things like MvC III and Ryu/Akuma DlC for Asura's Wrath.
 
Looks like my date of ps4 purchase has moved up to the opening of this beta.

Would anyone else interested in a linux version? I know i would.
 
Alex and Mel. Let's do this! Isn't Ken's real hair color black? Why is his son's hair blonde? I guess his mom.

Ken was originally a "white" American, until Cacpcom Japan decided that they didn't like the idea of a white guy being Ryu's equal.

I'll always take fighting in the French Quarter over some rooftop in Detroit.
 
Are people still saying this looks like SF4?

God damn this looks good. Charlie is going to be sheninanigans though. Good thing they're doing a beta.

Akuma's always been pushed as a top Street Fighter character. He's in Puzzle Fighter, Pocket Fighter, and even Cyberbots.
 
Nice. I'm glad they managed to bring someone back in a new cool way. Hope we get brand new characters next. Hopefully they don't go overboard on bringing back the old favorites.
 
I think the Frankenstein stuff looks crap, I hope they have some alternate costumes where he looks like he used to. Why couldn't they have just gone the clone route instead? Also Nash is a terrible name so I hope they change it back to Charlie.

I agree he has, but at the same time we usually see Ken join in those times along side Akuma and Ryu.

My only point is I think that Akuma is as much as lock for SF V as Ryu and Chun and even more so then Ken (whom I believe will be in the game)

You're right, he'll probably be in the initial 16 or whatever it is. I guess at this point he's just as important as Bison. (not to me though)

I would kind of just like to see more original characters or ones we haven't seen for a while instead of a bunch of auto includes.
 
Upon watching the trailer another half dozen times, more thoughts...

-I LOVE the new music. I hope this is Charlie's new theme.
-The stitched up look is pretty cool and definitely makes him stand out, but I do hope he has an alt of his traditional look.
-His new moves are incredible. He looks really fun to play as.
-I liked that they showed off more stage interactions. Those little details make a huge difference to me.
-M. Bison got a new outfit? Looks like a long coat of some sort.

There's only a japanese build right now. I think it will be changed when the final version is out.
But even the official US Capcom site is calling him Nash. (Charlie Nash too.) I wouldn't mind since I like both names, I just want to know what's the deal.
 
Is no one going to mention the implied rape in the trailer. Screen goes black Charlie appears behind chun li then she screams. It's a disgrace boycott the game

i joke of course. I'm so excited
 
Humoring that rumor, I'd include these veterans:


  1. Ryu
  2. Ken
  3. Chun-Li
  4. Guile
  5. M. Bison
  6. Cammy
  7. Akuma
  8. Nash (Alpha’s protagonist)
  9. Sakura (incredibly popular/iconic Alpha woman)
  10. Alex (SFIII’s protagonist)
  11. Ibuki (incredibly popular/iconic SFIII woman)
  12. Juri (most popular SFIV newcomer)

There are a lot of popular Street Fighter characters, obviously, but I tried picking the most important ones.

I like this list a lot but I feel like most people would prefer to see more Alpha/III characters that didn't come back for IV (R. Mika, Karin, Oro, Urien, etc.). I think Ibuki is pretty expendable, and I'd say the same for Juri but it'd be weird if they didn't return at least one SF4 newcomer (Viper or Abel would be viable too imo). I also have kind of a weird feeling about Guile not returning - I'd love for him to, but comments they've made about not knowing how to make Charlie and Guile distinct in SFIV made me feel like it's possible there's only room for one of them. Though to be fair the Charlie we saw in this trailer is very distinct from SF4 Guile so it's entirely possible lol.

I just hope somehow Dan or Hakan manage to slip into the roster. Too much fun. Haggar would be excellent as well, though it's sad that would probably be at the cost of Zangief :[
 
was hoping to see a new stage reveal too, but zombie nash looks awesome
 
The first thing I notice was that Chun Li's hands, even though still rather large, no longer look like those of a mutant. Her fingers have a more feminine look. They have made a lot more changes too. The bottom image is horizontally flip to match the top one.

To be fair then went back on that with characters that are strait up more powerful than ryu. And the C.Viper, who in her entire concept shits on the entire lives of a bunch if not most of the SF cast

Oh, wow! It's subtle, but I really think they've improved her face, and her overall shape. My one main problem with SF4's style was how everyone seemed lumpy or "meaty", or something. From the looks of the new screenshot they're streamlining the characters more. I like it.

So if Rose is in SFV (fingers crossed) she might actually look like she's supposed to now? That would be amazing.
 
It's pretty normal to have darker eyebrows than your hair color. Ken is just an exaggerated example.

the fuck is wrong with you

Yeah, I don't think that's an issue anymore since they've clearly managed to make Charlie more unique this time around.
 
The only thing I miss from the previous build is Chun's different shade of blue, it looked cool. I'll still pick her white costume, though, so it's not important :P
 
Love the aesthetic changes. I can't wait to buy this game and become incredibly frustrated because of how much I suck at it.
