if Alex comes back i wonder if they will get rid of his bangs because Ken has bangs now or will they just leave it?
by the way i always felt Alex had the coolest design of all of SF
I have always felt they have abandoned the notion of a main character, and things just happen. And ryu is just the face.
The protagonist is whoever you wanna follow

Yah guy felt like a complete after thought in SF4. Characters like Dudley had way more juggle points then he ever did, and hell they let Decapre combo into her air throw but not guy... I played him a bit at SSF4 launch,but I eventually switched from him... Bring back alpha 3 guy....

Guy isn't even a bad character in Ultra. He's pretty good.

Not saying he's a bad character, he's just not very interesting compared to his previous iterations. His floaty ass jump was pretty bad in SF4 too because he can't air block.

No but really, what about Oro.....
Yeah i loved playing him in the Alpha games but he never felt right in 4 and I never really picked him up.

His elbow allows him to alter his trajectory, so his floaty jump isn't much of a liability like it is with, say, Bison or Chun.
Guys jump all the time in SF4 and get away with it, because it's hard to anti air a character who can change his arc freely.
There's an actual emphasis on story this time. They can easily just have Guile be a part of Charlie's story. Same for other playable characters who are usually tied to a character who isn't playable, like Alex/Urien with Gill, R. Mika with Zangief, or Karin with Sakura.

She's my fav SF lady so I hope she makes it in soon, but I don't expect her in the initial roster. Her play style is perfectly suited for SFV though, and we can finally get a 3D model of her that matches her design!
Ehhhhhh... His whole "jaundiced prune in a trash bag" look has always been incredibly unappealing to me, I wouldn't mind if he never came back. I've always felt that he and Necro (and later Q and Twelve) being relatively out there unfairly overshadowed the rest of the cast and led to the whole "Freak Fighter 3" pejorative.
Give him a decent redesign if he's coming back, please.

You can pretty easily react to his elbow drop so it makes him pretty linear and predictable in his approach.
And bison should not be jumping at all with his footsies, and chun also has better footsties than guy and a fireball . So if guy didn't have his elbow drop he'd be deejay tier.

Or even easier, cutscene background fodder. They don't have to make a whole playable character for every other character to have a story, or they'd have to stick the whole cast in the starting roster.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Guy has some of the best mobility in the game and anti-airing his a huge pain in the ass when you have to deal with his cross-ups, elbows, and his Izuna drop. On top of that his pressure and frame trap game is insane. Deejay tier man? Come on.
direct_quote
Member
I don't feel guy is difficult to deal with at all when he's airborne. His cross up attempts are pretty obvious. Blocking cross up dive kicks is hard. Plus Guy was considered deejay tier in some of the initial SSF4 tier lists . Obviously now he isnt close to deejay, becuase he got useful buffs in later versions, but I rarely see him in tournament play beyond like a couple people.

Since the debut of Street Fighter 3 I've found that I've grown fonder of the new cast as time passed. I would imagine in some time I will have nostalgic feelings for the newcomers in Street Fighter 4.

I always appreciated how R. Mika wasn't very fanservice heavy, from looking at her artworks
She has a very regal and serious vibe from those 2 artwork alone
and in-game art
They play her as the aspiring wrestler which is part of why I overlooked the 'sexy' in her design.
To add I also liked how growly her yells are.

I think one way they can satisfy both camps is to give returning characters new movesets like they did with Birdie. Then u can have ur newcomer and returning character in one.
So, not sure what to think of it but I bumped into a friend of mine I've not seen for a while who's pretty well connected as far as fighting games go and we got chatting. He basically told me that Rainbow Mika is 100% in. He said a bit more than that but that's what it boils down to and that's she's far enough along to be playable. I guess I could've asked more but I didn't want him to think I was only catching up so I could pump him for info so I kinda left it at that
I don't have any reason to doubt him as he's always been trustworthy buuuuut... feel free to suspicious of this little bit of hearsay
...now I'm just sitting here wishing I'd asked him more @.@
Interesting. So what does your Uncle have to say about the upcoming Nintendo NX?

Colour me dubious but it's an interesting theory at least :3
These days I just see her as a fun character, but now that you point it out it's interesting that most of the truly suggestive stuff is pretty much all fan art. The closest you get officially is probably her failed shooting peach animation but that always struck me as more humorous than suggestive
edit:
Haha, yeah, I figured that when I posted. That's the issue though, you can't really say much when it comes to these things because otherwise you might risk getting someone into trouble :/Interesting. So what does your Uncle have to say about the upcoming Nintendo NX?

I don't usually share stuff I hear like this but with the siliconera rumour already out and about I figured this one wouldn't do much harm. It's not like anyone's going to point to me and say I was the one who 'predicted' her being in when she's revealed after all
At least in the original New Generation, Oro and Necro are p great designs, maybe the two best ones (e: with Dudley arguably the other possible "best one") . Oro is maaaybe a little too monochrome, but still. Oro greatly conveys his weird "really powerful character that only lives to fight", maybe even better than Ryu.
Q is okaish but Twelve is just undefensible.

Oro is basically Street Fighter's Master Roshi.

Isnt Guy said the same as Guy in Naruto. Basically written as Guy but pronounced Gai.

Its actually quite surprising Guy was able to maintain his popularity a little , and not drop to the bottom tier of the character popularity list. His design is still quite unique and so is his gameplay. So I guess a lot of people still like him.
Seems you just aren't familiar with the matchup , every character has a way to deal with it. You cannot use traditional AA methods.
People "think" it has a godlk hitbox , but the reality is the timing and button used needs to be different. Look up high level matches and see how many times Guys jumps in "for free".
Guy is just a character that does well in mid skill level because people aren't familiar with the matchup. In high level he isn't that great.
With that said he isn't anywhere near as bad as Dee Jay or low tier ever since AE ( In the original SSF4 , yea he definetely was low tier), As a character he didn't transition that well into SF4 and he isn't all that fun in SF4 compared to Alpha. Seemed more of a shoehorned character.
After looking at Birdie or Charlie , I have hope that they will do his play style justice. If he doesn't fit in SF V then make changes to him so that he does.
In SF4 is just felt like they threw Guy in there and nerfed a couple of OP Alpha 3 stuff and called it a day.

That would actually be really good , If they are focussing a story mode they should club in a story mode expansion in the pack. To get people to buy the whole thing, instead of just their fav character.
Like a Final Fight pack would have Guy/Cody/Rolento..etc and have the FF storyline in it.
A New Generation pack would have Ibuki,Yun,Elena,Makoto and have their plotline.
Shoto pack would have Akuma,Gouken,Sakura?,Dan? and that respective story.

Yeah that's the idea i had as well. Final Fight pack, Rival Schools season, Sf3 characters and so on. I think that would be a pretty good way to do the DLC.

Honestly though, at least Akira/Batsu being in as some surprise guest character later later later down the road would be hype.

A lot of Guy players have done well this year. Marq Teddy, RB, Electribe, Meimomo, etc... have proven that Guy isn't low tier and is viable at the top level. That doesn't mean that he dominates as no one character dominates in Ultra and the players that win tournaments are made up of like 10-13 players.
Last month Electribe and Meimomo won a Japanese 2v2 double elimination tournament and that tournament had players like Nemo, Tokido, Mago, Misse, etc... all in there. We've seen Marq Teddy eliminate Fuudo, as well as RB eliminate Nemo, and seen Kindo get top 8 at a big tournament.
He's a good character in Ultra.
edit: Japanese pronunciation: Vowels are like spanish.
a = ah, e = eh, i = ee, o = like a grunted O sound, u = sort of like due/boo
You always pronounce those letters like that. So Gai = Gah-ee = guy
Mai also sounds like english "my" once you sound it out.

Sean will never be in this game because Necalli already has a better basketball-themed move.

Never said he was Low tier after AE. Only in SSF4. In Ultra every character can do well , the game has really good balance. Nobody dominated in UItra , but you have to admit there is a slightly stronger upper tier and a reaaaaly big mid tier.
With that said the complaint was how his gameplay plays and feels in SF4 , not his Tier strength. SF V seems to have more variety in gameplay styles with V-Trigger,V-Skills and game mechanics in general.
It is more like "guy-den". "Gai" and "Mai" rhyme with "high".

I would really love to see guy in this game. The graphics are so beautiful! Now someone buy me a ps4 please
Shadoken

If omega is anything to go by , his V-Trigger might be a teleport like Charlie or a really fast Bushin flip. But I hope they come up with something more interesting than that.
I really really hope they dont pull a cammy and just make one of his existing moves his V-Skill.

Why are we using the Japanese pronounciation for Guy when he's American? Couldn't it just be that his name is just like some guy?

Gai sounds the same as Guy
