BUT WHAT WILL WE GET IN NOVEMBER?!
Better be a trailer showcasing what modes will be in the Console release @_@

I mean, at this point, it's not unrealistic to expect trailers for DLC before launch. Hopefully, it feels more like Smash 4's "It's coming, but we literally showed you everything we've finished in this trailer," and less like MKX's "We're not saying it's nearly finished, but we'll have 4 more characters within 2 months of launch, and also here's a pre-order character." Granted, everyone but Jason and Goro was ultimately delayed, but the Season Pass didn't sit right with me.

Either way, I'm expecting at least something DLC-related to be known before SFV launches.

Spoiler

My money's on Akuma.

I'd expect DLC to be discussed later, though; I'm with you on modes being highlighted/announced characters being looked at in-depth in November/December, with a DLC reveal in late January.

 

[KidA Seven]

There's 7 character reveals left, not 8. Assuming we get one this week, two reveals in September, two in october then the last two at PSX fits nicely

There doesn't need to be 2 at PSX. I suspect the announcement at PSX will be the 2016 Capcom Pro Tour announcement.

 

[Tik-Tok]

Doesn't the game come out in March? That's 7 months.

 

[Tizoc]

When does the fiscal year end for Capcom by then? IIRC they plan on releasing it by Feb. 2016.

Yeah, I recalled about rumored date. Was it Feb 12, 2016? or Feb 16, 2016?

Google and Wikipedia says March. Amazon says February 28th which is obviously a place holder.

Yoshinori Ono ‏@Yoshi_OnoChin 1m1 minute ago

I'm excited about it announcement!! ;D At last I've got my wish!! I'm sure that it will make you happy.

Sounds like a vet reveal.

 

[Dead End Irony]

R. Mika incoming from the sound of it

 

[aly]

Ono's excited? Aww yeah time for Ingrid!

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

If Ono "got his wish", then it's either Mika or Ingrid.

 

[Stone Ocean]

At last I've got my wish!!

 

[E_Darkness]

Going by the wording, he didn't specify if it was a character announcement.

Then again, Ono's English is normally broken. So bring on Alex!

Edit: Oh his wish... Blanka costumes for all!

 

[Tizoc]

Sounds like a vet reveal.

Watch it be Blanka :V

 

[Tik-Tok]

Sounds like a vet reveal.

Some part naive part of me is hoping this is his Darkstalkers wish.

You wouldn't reveal that till after SFV shipped in order to keep the hype cycle.

From 2010: Super Street Fighter 4 Producer on Which Character Didn't Make the Cut

"I'm a big Rainbow Mika fan, I don't know if you remember her. So I wanted to put her in 'Street Fighter 4' and I really wanted to put her in 'Super,' so I basically harassed the director constantly, just whispering in his ear, 'Rainbow Mika! Rainbow Mika!' Unfortunately he didn't listen but maybe next time I'll continue my whisper campaign, we'll see what happens."

Also 2010: Shacknews interview with Yoshinori Ono

Shack: Are there any characters, new or from franchise history, that you wanted to add to Super or the original that just didn't fit?

Yoshinori Ono: Even back in the original Street Fighter IV, I really wanted Rainbow Mika. I tried to start a whisper campaign. Talk to some journalists about her to show the development team, 'Hey look, people are talking about Rainbow Mika'. It didn't work.

 

[Maligna]

Ono has long held that he's wanted Mika to return. If he's "getting his wish", you can bet she's next.

 

[Tik-Tok]

You wouldn't reveal that till after SFV shipped in order to keep the hype cycle.

The tweet could be just unrelated to SFV announcements.

Spoiler

i know it's not Darkstalkers

 

[IntelliHeath]

People are going to get very upset about Rainbow Mika if she got in.

 

[Kouichi]

People are going to get very upset about Rainbow Mika if she got in.

Man when it comes to fighting game rosters, people will always be upset about something. It's best to just relish in the salt with the people who are happy about the character.

 

[Infinite]

I hope Capcom goes all out and make rainbow Mika fat.

 

[Renekton]

I will try not to participate in any GAF gender politics thread arising from this haha. It's always a graveyard.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Revealing Mika at PAX though? That's surprising as she'd be a huge hit at TGS and that's huge a few weeks away. Unless they have a certain other character planned for there...

 

[Infinite]

I don't think he meant that kind of upset

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I'll be happy.

 

[Tik-Tok]

Curves and jiggle for days.

 

[Korigama]

Other than the salt from the players who just don't like her, it'll definitely stir up the complaints about all of the blond characters in the game again.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I didnt' really play any of the grapplers in Omega mode when it came out - any of those updated movesets possible for Mika's? She's already got Hugo's ass attack.

 

[Pompadour]

I hope Capcom goes all out and make rainbow Mika fat.

Her ass will be so fat that it has hyper armor.

 

[Tik-Tok]

Honestly R Mika is not unlike Fuerte.

 

[vulva]

rmika is ono's fav character so that's most likely his wish

 

[kirblar]

Honestly R Mika is not unlike Fuerte.

Yeah, he'd be the one to test stuff on.

 

[SolidSnakex]

rmika is ono's fav character so that's most likely his wish

Someone mentioned before that he's also a big fan of Ingrid.

 

[peter0611]

Hmm. I tried R Mika out in SFA3, and most of her normals seemed bad similar to Fuerte's. So maybe she'll end up being a goofy vortex character to compensate for a weak ground game.

 

[kirblar]

I don't want Mika mainly because I'd like a better female pro character.

 

[vulva]

Someone mentioned before that he's also a big fan of Ingrid.

I think she holds a place in his heart, but I know mika's his overall favourite.

 

[IntelliHeath]

People always upset about something. I'll be happy.

Yes but it has been a lot of bashes about Mika & Karin lately because some people can't stand the thought of them being in the game. It may be small group but very vocal about it. It's going to be very interesting day if they actually made in the game.

Other than the salt from the players who just don't like her, it'll definitely stir up the complaints about all of the blond characters in the game again.

That reminded me of a discussion where people would complain about having too many blue haired characters with swords in Smash Bros.

 

[Pompadour]

The "this game has too many blonde characters" argument is so stupid because unless SFV won't feature alternate colors then every character will likely have black, red, blonde, and brown hair at the very least.

 

[Infinite]

Capcom better give me booty supers damnit

 

[Stone Ocean]

Capcom better give me ring supers damnit

Mika hasn't been in a sf game for years so a lot of liberties could be taken with her design and move set with out Capcom bad about it like with Birdie. You don't like her base design or moveset?

 

[kirblar]

Yeah, not a fan of her goofiness, design-wise.

I play Fuerte, I don't mind lucha bullshit.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Honestly R Mika is not unlike Fuerte.

In which case: Here's a video of Omega Fuerte changes.

 

[Zubz]

Yeah. I'm not a fan of Mika's base design, either, but I doubt she's just going to be a 3D version of her Alpha design. Plus, her playstyle's fun, and she gives the game another goofy character so Birdie doesn't just feel like the odd man out!

 

[peter0611]

If it's not R Mika, I hope we at least get a female grappler in this title. Tired of getting grabbed by you, Gief. :-(

 

[pizzacat]

It's going to suck when they announce mika. Gotta get that weirdo demographic

 

[Stone Ocean]

Gotta get that weirdo demographic

But they aren't revealing Hakan though

 

[Maligna]

Does anyone know Guy's racial background? Also, what does Sodom look like under his mask? I know he's an American.

I'm just trying to figure out how many Caucasian street fighter characters are blonde and how many aren't. I don't know about you guys but I barely know anyone who's naturally blonde in real life.

Only Caucasians with brown or black hair I can think of are Rolento and Hugo. Everyone else is blonde. Heck, even a lot of the Asians are blonde. Maki, Karin, Mika, Ken. I assume they all dye their hair. Vega is sometimes blonde and sometimes he has brown hair (He should have had brown hair in SFV...) Bison, I've always assumed was Asian, but I don't think anyone is sure.

 

[Zubz]

If it's not R Mika, I hope we at least get a female grappler in this title. Tired of getting grabbed by you, Gief. :-(

But if he's not in the game, then who will crush man's skull like sparrow's egg between thighs?

But they aren't revealing Hakan though

Not with that attitude, they won't.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Yes, everyone, let's start exaggerating and name calling before she's even confirmed. Saves us some time later.

Lol, female characters make some of you so uncomfortable. It's kinda funny.
