do you mean the match at the 30 minute mark?
I was guessing they didn't mean to include a timestamp because the very first match is a Mika one and she wins it :P

I hope if they do update Mika's design they don't make her into something horrendous or try to make her 'edgey' or the like. Her bubbly goofiness is half the charm and it's always more fun beating folk with a character that has some comical elements :P

edgy? She's a comical character, so what you should be afraid of is the birdie treatment
 
I wonder if Capcom has the balls to make an obese woman wrestler ala Birdie.

They probably won't because no one would want her as their waifu and it won't sell figures.
 
ryu back to being 3s tier

ken back to 3s tier

Yeah, that would fall under the 'horrendous' category :P

I didn't realise people were queuing up to claim Birdie as their husbando :P
 
"The soundtrack release will include new remasters of both CPS-1 and CPS-2 versions of the arcade game, extracted directly from the arcade boards and approved by original composer Yoko Shimomura."

It would be so great if they got her to compose for SFV.

dont say things that only hurt me
 
Does anyone have the two competing lists?

There's no competing lists. There were only two that hadn't been apparently discounted by multiple sources (the one with 'sherry' was supposedly disavowed from several people in the know) and the one with the german femme fetale and si-won is proved a dud because it said Eagle would be shown at this SDCC event, which he clearly hasn't :P

The only remaining ones are Bogard's original which only states things that have now been proven plus saying there'd be 4 new characters: Laura, Rashid, Zen and an unknown from Africa, India and Brazil. He states in that leak that he doesn't know about the rest of the roster, only that he knows roughly how many there are.

The second leak builds on what Bogard said by adding returning characters:
This will be deleted in 15 minutes.

SFV characters:

-R. Mika
-Zangief
-Sim
-Juri
-Karin
-Ken
-Urien
-Alex
-Laura
-Rashid
-Zen
-New Boss

Bogard laughed at this saying "any list with R.Mika in it is Bullshit" but I theorise this simply means he thinks she's unlikely/dislikes her as the original leak stated he did not know who the returning newcomers are AND in response to a youtube video 2 days ago he stated 'I do not know who is in the roster'.

edit: it's worth noting that the siliconera 'leaks' of Alex, Urien, R.Mika and Karin only lend support to this list and Ken's reveal is still within the list's roster.

RIP in peace.

he said probably bullshit. not 100% bullshit, according to someone in thread.
 
At my folks place and putting my high school stuff in boxes. I got a certificate for "playing like a gentleman" in one of the sports I played from the athletic department. Coming to terms that I might be a Dudley player.

Still laughing at the new Ken. I like it but I imagine many would not like it.
 
Maybe Zen is the dreads dude
Could be, or the unknown boss :3

So that would make 20 if Akuma is included as usual as a secret boss.
No idea if that list is meant to be comprehensive. All I quoted is all there was in terms of an explanation.

Fair enough :3 Again, he's gone on to state 'I do not know the roster' so I think he's fairly adamant that he doesn't know for sure outside of the things he outright leaked. He did say what he had shared was second-hand from someone close to the info and the 'bullshit' line was merely in reaction to someone slapping the list in his face and saying "what do you think?" XD
 
Abel is a grappler, unless you need a full circle SPD to be a grappler.

I do consider Abel to be a grappler, but I've talked to a number of folks who wouldn't lump Abel into the category of Zangief and Hugo.

Still, he is as much of a grappler as Gief is. When your command throw is a key part of your gameplan, then you can be considered a grappler. Characters like Makoto and Abel are just as much a grappler as the big meat mountains like Gief and Hugo.
 
Something feels off about that Ken mirror match that I can't quite put my finger on, but I really like that the stun meter isn't invisible anymore. Thanks Sony

I kind of wish they would, or at least they should make R. Mika thicker/chubbier than her Alpha appearance. I'd prefer a wide range of body types. For instance, I'm mildly irritated they made Cammy bustier when she really fit that lithe archetype. But really, that's extreme nitpicking.
