Were the issues related to PSN? I thought they were with Capcom's infrastructure?

and custom intros

especially custom intros
At this point I'd settle for custom intro dialog like MvC3. Chun-Li cheerfully challenging M Bison in SFIV is weird.

lol, how is Chun gonna go from pulling a gat on Bison in A3 to that?

Eh, I don't really want to see the ladies all bloodied and bruised up. Do you?
This would be amazing, though.

Who are the solid blue and red characters?
I just want to reiterate that I want another sista in the series.

She became a pacifist during her SF2 days.
When you out it that way, no. Honestly though it never bothered me back in SF2 though.

Well Laura might be the character from Brazil. I'm hoping she's a kinda swole, mobile grappler.

Probably because there's nothing to be bothered by

Yep, I want so that if Juli or Maki gets in I want her punk ass to look into my Chun-Li's eyes and know how much she ain't shit.

I wasn't a big fan of it back then, either. Just kind of gross in general.

So do you guys think they will reveal a character at Gamescom?
I don't think it will happen but I hope so.

I think Ono talked about adding battle damage to characters in-game during the design of SFIV but they ended up being worried about the ESRB rating. I would think damaged portraits would fall along a similar line. Although I remember reading something about SFV possibly getting an M rating anyway, so who knows? Probably too late at this point to add damage to the characters either way.
Maybe if they have a German character or stage for some reason.
I feel like they were gonna add mid-match battle damage, the ESRB deemed the game to be rated M because of said battle damage, & Ono removed it so SFV could maintain a T rating. I have no evidence for this, it's just a gut feeling.
Trust that gut feeling.
This would actually make sense -it's a thing in MK, not so much in other games.

we still won't know because we don't even know if that ending is canon or not
Hm, now that you mentioned it, I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if Gill was Alex from some sort of time travel experiment, sort of like what is going on with Necalli. I mean the last game was called Fight for the Future for a reason and considering Alex is considered to be the main protagoinist in the III series.
They share extremely similar appearance.
I was always wondered about the ending why Alex becomes like the son offspring of Gill/Christ/ending in the ending, but I think it's starting to connect.

There was a post on the official Street Fighter Facebook page mentioning that Street Fighter V was rated M around the time of E3 2015. It showed up as the promoted post of the page for a while.
O.O
If they really removed it for that reason instead of trying to tweak it so that the damage wouldn't warrant that M-rating, then that would suck imo.
I've always wished they'd show some wear and tear on the characters (mostly in a humorous way, not a gory MK style one mind you), so to read it might actually have been planned at some point but not come to fruition because of the ESRB? Man, that stinks!
Once again, I have literally zero evidence for that post (nor do I have any inside information on the matter). It's just an educated guess based on what we already know. That being said, it wouldn't be the first time a game was impacted by the ESRB in hopes of gaining a particular rating. Smash 3DS had to remove the Tharja trophy to maintain its E10+ rating.

Are there any T-rated FGs with battle damage? Guilty Gear maybe? Tho it seems to be limited to disheveled hair and dirt marks in -REVELATOR-

You mean Alex.
Sure, I realize we're all just speculating for the most part. Still, would have been cool if they had kept it in, if the character damage existed at some point that is, which could have been the case.
Heck, why not go with this theory indeed!
Yup, whoops that's what I meant.
Have you tried clearing your cache on Safari on your iPad? I see Gon btw.

While we're waiting for more news, I keep looking at the half of the roster we have and finding it odd we don't have a single street fighter 3 character yet. I know we can never know, really, but I do wonder why. You'd think they'd have shown at least 1 by now.

Why would battle damage necessitate an M rating when in T-rated Uncharted you kill human beings with a gun and there are blood effects?
Does a beat up person's face (a fighter no less, who has consented to combat and survives the encounter) count as more violent than a body count in the hundreds?

The Japanese REALLY hate those in the arcades. It's like throwing in SF2 levels of hate. SF and VF both removed them for that reason.

The lengths some people will go to bad mouth Mortal Kombat.
In terms of ESRB ratings, I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, you could make a decent argument that the scene in Indiana Jones when the guy waves his sword around and Indy just shoots him could be considered less gratuitous than a Rocky movie where you see close-ups of skin rippling after a brutal punch to the face.

yeah..it will be interesting if capcom continues with Alex and his connection to Gill
I was about to do this when I noticed in another thread that my avatar is showing up like normal again. Weird.
Cheers for the tip and for checking it though!
I think Alex may have some connection to Necalli as well, they share the same V type mark going on in the face and body,
But, I don't know, that part may be a coincidence.

This could be a good catch actually! Edit: though now that I think about it, Alex's shoulder/chest markings always appeared more like scars to me, while the red under his eyes seems to be paint. Did we ever learn why he has these scars? Surely not from his suspenders, right?
If you guys permit me one more small side note: do you (or anyone else here) happen to have a hi-res version of the image on the left with all the characters? I've been looking for it for some time as I had planned to have it printed on a t-shirt, but with little luck so far.
As far as I know, it's by Akiman and it was used for a small jigsaw puzzle that came with the Japanese collector's edition of 3rd Strike on PS2. Not sure if this was the only use for it ever though. I have seen it pop up on a mug on Ebay at some point but can't find that anymore either.
