Why just stop there?
Might as well give him Trip's speech patterns while having a New York accent. Hell, make his V-Trigger carry a sledgehammer for good measure.

Best case scenario, we get both characters.
In singlets.
I'm assuming you're referring to the "only one wrestler character" comment, but they were talking about Mika and Nadeshiko, so I'm pretty sure he was just making a joke. (And I expect a Nadeshiko alt anyway.)
I'm confident Alex is in.
I feel like Guile (for story reasons regarding Nash), Juri, and Karin will be the remaining characters, with Urien or Gill serving as the initially non-playable final boss. Guile will have a dramatically different look and move set.
Since the story probably takes place before III, Capcom might not want to bring Alex back yet since his impetus for becoming a "Street Fighter" hasn't happened yet. I hope I'm wrong.
IV -> V (collapse of Shadaloo, rise of Illuminati) -> III

No Juri confirmed 
Edit:
so
Classics - Ryu, Chun Li, Cammy, Bison, Vega, Ken (2 remaining)
Previous Games and not seen in a while - Birdie, Nash, Mika (one remaining).
New characters - Necalli + 3 more
Silconera leak said Karin, Alex, and Urien. So if Alex and Urien are considered "classics" and Karin the previous games spot, it makes sense. I just don't know if I would consider Alex and Urien classics though.

The "classic = numbered games" and "not seen in awhile = Alpha characters" would still work perfectly with the leaks.No Juri confirmed

I still expect Alex, Urien and Karin to be in the initial roster.
That would make sense, but that would depend on if they consider SF3 as a game where its characters haven't been seen in a while. I'll say this though, if Karin is revealed, I'll have little reason to doubt Siliconera.
I was gonna say, that quote wasn't directly from Capcom but rather GameSpot themselves.

I'm all for some brand new people
BRING EM ON!
BRING EM ON!
I wouldn't say that the dream is dead, yet. We don't know if that quote was from Capcom or if that's just GameSpot's interpretation from the EVO Panel chart. And even then, the Charlie comic implies that we're gonna get someone from the Illuminati.Noway in hell they would consider Alex and Urien classics... The dream is dead
Please be boss character Urien , thats our only hope.

Interesting. Does Gamespot know the final roster though? Or are they just guessing based on the boxes like we are? If the former, I'd guess we still have Urien, Dhalsim, and Zangief left.
Again, this depends on if GameSpot knows the final roster or are just guessing based on the boxes from the EVO Panel (as stated by Beelzebufo). If the former, the last character we haven't seen in a while would likely be Urien, seeing as (as stated earlier) the Charlie comic implies that a rep from the Illuminati is gonna be in the game. Plus, I'm not sure if Siliconera would put their credibility at risk like this.
Eh, I think we're good with just Mika as the main grappler of the base roster.

Street Fighter 3 got that upscale re-release not that long ago, and even if it didn't I'd still say that it would be considered "classic".
Otherwise they might as well of just said Street Fighter II. As much as I love that game, it has to stop being the end all, be all of the series. They rely on it too much at the expense of all the other characters.

8 WWs would be so boring. Come on Capcom you can add at least 2 characters from SF3. SFA (besides the classic characters), has 2 characters exclusive to it in this game..

Blanka has to be coming in the future right? RIGHT?!
That rumor didn't originate from Siliconera, if you read the article. The character rumors came directly from Siliconera's sources, who also got them the FF7 remake scoop.

They got the info from Matt, as the linked article says. So, the info is from Capcom themselves:
The Gamespot articles feels like they've looked at the coloured boxes on the EVO panel and just put their opinion on what each one was representing into an article. Besides, I doubt anyone other than Capcom (and probably Sony) would now who is in the roster. I'm not putting much weight on this.
As always I'm cautiously optimistic.

GS wrote the article as if it was facts, aka that's what the Capcom rep told them. Also, Capcom could have easily switched their roster after the Siliconera article came out. Maybe shufflled around the initial DLC characters with the launch roster.
So you think that one guy's theory about Capcom screwing over leaks is on the money? By that logic, you'd think that they'd switch out everyone from the leak.
There's no way they would switch out characters by now. The main roster was decided ages ago and DLC is either being decided now or was also decided ages ago.

I don't think Capcom really cares that much. I'm sure Capcom hasn't even started working on the DLC characters yet beyond preproduction ideas..

Honestly I am still kinda surprised with the Roster size. This is still a $60 title , I mean as a competitive player it doesn't matter since we'll keep getting updates. And mastering even one character takes ages.
But from Casual standpoint , what exactly is supposed to be the appeal of the game? They havent detailed ANYTHING about story mode. Which can be the only thing that might entice casuals. SF4 had the whole nostalgia factor going for it.
This is a major title for Capcom , are they just banking entirely on the FGC?

That's the main problem I have with that one YouTuber's theory.
Which theory? I haven't looked at that many.

That's a good point. 20+ is about the number of characters needed to get people to stop caring about the size of the roster.
And they are really just riding the hype of it being the sequel to SFIV.
This is a fantastic idea IMO.
Make it community driven so as the game evolves and new strategies are unearthed, community creators can design new challenges that keep up with FGC developments. You can even have events that coincide with big tournaments and make money + add to the prize pool like Dota 2 does, like for example a Momochi Ken alt costume that comes with a set of combo challenges he designed and priced in a $5 pack, $2 of every purchase gets added to the next Capcom event prize pool.

The game doesn't launch until March, I assume they'll finish up most of the roster by the end of the year (if not all of it). Right now it's mostly SF enthusiasts who really give a fuck about character announcements and balance changes. They only need a couple of months to really market it and show off game features. Plus I mean it's a Street Fighter game. If the name recognition isn't grabbing someone then I really don't know what will. Sony will surely help try to spread the word and interest to their userbase
Regarding roster size, they'll surely lean hard into the "all DLC can be earned!" message, downplaying how obviously time consuming that will be

Lol, I'm pretty sure between now and March they'll talk more about actual features in the game.
Even without any details whatsoever, the interest for the game has been pretty amazing. Just on the beta hype alone, it was the #1 selling game on Amazon for a while. Then the first beta fiasco happened...and, when the beta reopened again last week, SF5 jumped back into the top 100. Collectors edition is currently #21 on Amazon...7 months before release.
I'd say there's already plenty of casual appeal, and they haven't even REALLY started promoting the game yet.
Also, the 16 character debut roster isn't an issue because they've already stated that more characters are coming for free.

Some of my casual friends will feel a game isnt worth the money because of "Lack of content", even when 99% of the games they play Ryu or Ken.
And yea 20 seems like a magic number. I suppose thats why Capcom normally fills up a good number of characters as shotos lmao.
I don't think they are not doing it on purpose to screw leakers. It's a coincidence.
I imagine Capcom is working on ~20 characters atm, especially if they have DLC characters do close to launch.
I disagree. They probably knew the initial core 60 to 80% of the roster that will be relevant to the story from the beginning, and the remaining wacky characters that are present for diversification of gameplay were up in the air.
