I forgot where it was mentioned specifically, but yes, he doesn't get consumed by it. He could go into it like the power of Nothingness. By his own will.

Edit: Also, random question. If another new shoto was to appear. Who would you guys take if it were to happen. Goutetsu/Go Hibiki/Mel Masters?

Goutetsu was on the same path as Gouki, just that Gouki surpassed him. Him not getting consumed might mean he had less power lol

Adding him is probably Jinpachi-level of madness.

Guile isn't cool at all. The only thing great about him is his theme.

Eh i disagree.

Then again c.viper is th better version of that character in like...every way. To the degree in which she herself embodies the phrase "go home and be a family man" because he entire existance takes hot dumps on most cast. Also she's black widow

But guile is aiiight
 
All of you who like Hakan are good people to me. Best SFIV newcomer.

Out of the 3rd Strike cast I really just want Dudley. As cool as Urien and Alex are I really need my boxer since Balrog's chances seem so slim.

That's all I ask now that Bipson is already in.

I think that if ever Gotetsu shows up (and i hope he does) he will be as much of a shoto as Gouken aka not so much.

I think the whole SF2 cast will make it eventually, those who don't make it to the disc release will be DLC at some point. At least I hope so as I love them all.

"Character I don't like is totally an unnecessary addition to the roster"

It would be nice if people would at least justify what makes a character an unnecessary addition. Even if one doesn't like Viper, she is unique in both play style and aesthetic, so she is anything but an unnecessary addition. I guess the same goes to Rufus.

What you're saying is true, but I didn't like Viper's play style. Unecessary.

Rufus is the worst and replaced a cool black guy character that was wu tang as hell to be an un funny bundle of stereotypes

I'd love to see King Cobra make an appearance, hopefully in a different outfit to distance him from Shoto accusations.

Rufus is the greatest Street Fighter character though. Great fun to play aggressively and amazing to look at. That belly!

I hope someone who plays like Makoto appears. I do like Bison's new walk animation but that's not enough.

WTF did I read lol, she is nothing like Guile.

Viper is a KOF character in a SF game, even her visual design is similar to Vanessa. She is probably the flashiest and most rewarding execution character in the roster, pulling off that FFF EX seismo is a treat.

Well, I guess I should elaborate: C Viper as a character really does not fit the Street Fighter aesthetic at all (imo) and replaces several SF4 characters that share a similar rush moveset - everything that made her fun to play could have been applied to another existing character. She was just fan service to American (western?) interest in cleavage, and almost an attempt at copying SNK.

Rufus? Is there anyone who will ever miss him? He and El Fuerte were the Necro and Twelve of SF4: Creepy and out of place.

Goutetsu and Go Hibiki are both dead. Mel would be still way too young to fight. Goutetsu's brother would be intersting I guess :p

I completely lost you once you mentioned Necro and Twelve. SF2 had Blanka, a green beast capable of electrocution so don't know why Necro and Twelve would be out of place as they fit the SF3 storyline pretty well.
 
Funny how these discussions always devolve into "ur fave is shit", lmao.

Stay positive and big up ur favorite character without tearing down others pls.

Blanka was a pretty serious and scary character, as characters go. Rufus and El Fuerte are terribly designed (and creepy) comedy relief characters, in the vein of Necro and Twelve. Apparently this is not a popular idea on GAF so having clarified myself as I best could, I'll just shut up. :)

Nah it's okay man, I get you, it's your own opinion. I just want Capcom to take some risks sometimes in regards to character design and Necalli is a good start as far as SFV goes.
But Blanka... I don't remember much of him in SF2 but he was pretty comically displayed in the Alpha games. His intro's, the butt scratching, fruit eating etc. Twelve at least was way more serious than that, he was indeed intended to be creepy and Necro...Yeah that's a different story and I agree with you on the fact that he's not a very serious character.

A lot of these tend to boil down to "I hate all of the new characters, please keep it to the SSFII cast and never ever change it, ever."
 
There should be an official roster prediction thread like there was with Smash 4. Obviously you can't guess the new characters, but I'm curious to see who would be the closest in their predictions, or which characters most people think will appear.

Maki is a lock by the way.

I think he means personality-wise. She's a badass American government family woman. She doesn't have the dead friend background though.

But as long as we're calling characters shit based on personal preference... I'm gonna have to say Gouken is the worst. Like worst character in USF4 period. Does anyone like this guy? He's a lame retcon in essence, his move set isn't that cool, his design is pretty bad, and his voice is super annoying. I don't know how we're arguing Fuerte of Viper (one of the best) or even Rufus when Gouken is sitting around there. I'm assuming more people aren't mentioning him because everyone forgets he exists? I came aboard with SF4 and never really played Alpha or 3S, so I feel uncomfortable saying a character like Ingrid or Remy sucks because I never got to use them really. I would be super disappointed if Gouken was revealed for SFV though.

Other stinkers: Rolento, E. Ryu (or most of the AE cast really), Rufus. Not a huge Makoto fan but I can see why she has merit.

It's.. not that, like, at all. I mean, I have four favorite characters and only one is from SF2 (Ryu), the rest are from SF3 (Makoto, Dudley) and SF4 (Abel).. People just have different tastes.
 
Inuhanyou said:
Rufus was an unfunny mean spirited stereotype, considering the other American characters in the game.

Wasn't it enough for Sodom to be the ignorant Japanophile/Weaboo American?

Well, in any case, that was 6 years ago that those comments were made. I dont really think such a mindset carries over to a game where they are intentionally being bold with some of the more set characters like Ken. They may have been hesitant with all the characters in 4, but in 5 i dont think it particularly hold water.

I think we were talking past each other a bit. I thought you were arguing that they were scared to change her look and she would stay a schoolgirl in SF5 because of that. But if your not saying such a thing, then there's no need for a bet really
Click to expand...

I always thought Sodom's thing was pretty funny.

Yeah I think they could go either direction in this case. They certainly have precedent to keep her in the uniform but they are taking more risks and playing off nostalgia less. My personal opinion is I'd say she has a 25-33% chance of being updated. Karin I'd put at 50%.

Anyway I hope they both get updated, but we'll see.

Eh, they're pretty different personality-wise. Guile is a prim and proper military man while Viper is the high and mighty CIA asshole.
Click to expand...
Yeah pretty much. Viper always stuck out as antagonistic (or at least an anti-hero) to me, but Guile is definitely a hero for better or worse. lol.
 
C. Viper is nowhere near as American as Guile is. No one is.

I personally really like the OG SFII cast and part of me wants them to be in every Street Fighter game, similar to how the 12 initial Smash Bros. characters have permanent spots on the roster. But since this game will only have 16 characters at launch, I wouldn't mind cutting a few and putting them in as eventual DLC. I like theory about the character select screen where you have your four new characters on the top, six SF II vets on the left, and six characters from Alpha/III/IV/Final Fight/Wherever on the right. That's a good sampling for fans of any SF game. You've gotta think the DLC characters will come fairly quickly. If it takes like six months to push out a new character, people will have already saved tons of fight money and have zero incentive to use real cash.

Pls no


I don't want SF to just be about shoto super saiyans. Not every shoto needs that. Ryu and Akuma are enough.

The whole "Evil Sakura" thing isn't really new and honestly makes the most sense from a story perspective since she's never had formal training meaning she'd be the most susceptible to it.

I see I am not the only one so thirsty for new reveals :V

Wish we'd get this Rashid character revealed already, Tekken got Shaheen, so I wonder what Capcom got in store.
Click to expand...

Rashid isn't going to be as cool as Shaheen is so don't get your hopes up too much. Great design for the Tekken staff there, looking forward to trying him out.

Reila said:
Personally, in terms of roster at least, Street Fighter started getting interesting from Alpha onwards to me, with 3 having the best roster of new characters. The SF/2 roster isn't bad, of course, but my favorite characters are all from Alpha/3/4.

Agreed, the hate Viper gets surprised me. In fact, I didn't know she was hated until a few days ago. I mean, I never expected her to be Juri levels of popular, but hated? :v She is IMO one of the best characters in the series.

Hakan's great. I want him back and his wife playable as well.
Click to expand...

Mos tof my favorite characters are from Alpha or 1, 3 had some cool ones but I am not in love with the entire roster like everyone else seems to be these days. 4 I don;t care for much aside from Viper and Hakan.

I think Viper is mainly hated for an aspect of her playstyle. Hakan I don't expect to see again but I'm certainly down to play him more if I'm wrong and he shows back up.

Isn't that non-canon? Same reason why I wouldn't want "Violent Ken." It's just too much.

It always happens in every speculation threads. I guess I could say that I'm getting used to it at long that I don't get involved with it. Yes, it's getting very silly.

Anway back to topic, I think most characters that are playable in USF4 are more likely to return in SFV because I have a gut feeling that they are going to reuse assets from USF4 in SFV.
