No 2p color?

The Player 2 color doesn't show up until both players select the character in question.

 

[Beelzebufo]

.

they are the future. Also, most of them probably weren't children, but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Rhaknar]

he looks stylish as fuck.

speaking of fuck, fuck that 9/11 post, jesus christ

 

[Spikematic]

an arabic character revealed on 9/11?

hmm...

Wtf is this unnecessary shit?

 

[Makki]

Yeah, dudes simply dressed in all white can't be Street Fighters....

Sorry Ryu.

At least he shows some chest lol, this guy is conservative is all Im saying, even his legs are all covered.

 

[yurinka]

Hakan could be a believer.

Well, I meant to the typical goofy stereotypes, not something religious: Japan got sumo wrestler and ninjas, Spain a bullfighter, so I felt Street Fighter needed someone with the looks of Rachid.

 

[Hours Left]

Love the grin. And what is it on his back, a metal owl?

A jet pack!

At least he shows some chest lol, this guy is conservative is all Im saying

Showing pecs does improve many things. Prayer circle for summer alts. (Like actually summer clothes, not whatever the heck happened in SFIV.)

 

[Kain]

Laura, Rashid & Zen were rumored to be from Brazil, North Africa & where?

I'm blanking on the third country.

Zen is supposedly from India, and Rashid looks more middle-east than north-Africa, but we'll have to see confirmation.

 

[Mupod]

Liking all the SF5 designs so far. Maybe the first SF where I could actually say that. New beta build when?

 

[Tizoc]

Love the grin. And what is it on his back, a metal owl?

It's the gadget that lets him create his hurricane/wind attacks or something to help him with them.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

His special animation before fighting Akuma, should be his scouter exploding.

 

[Village]

I can see Juri returning very easily (please redesign her a bit, Capcom), but the rest... at most I could see Abel, but well, time will tell.

I would put more money on viper than abel

Juri and viper are the only ones i would bet on. No one seems to like anyone else from 4. And no one notices abel.

 

[Dremark]

He is a Saiyan?

Yes. I am glad they were able to add racial diversity by adding a Saiyan. It's very rare to see them represented outside of Dragon Ball games.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Stop derailing the thread with his stupid post please.

 

[Zedox]

Dragonball Z v. Capcom confirmed.

 

[direct_quote]

Well necali, rufus, even birdie are weird as shit but the reason why I said this guy doesnt fit SF is that his design is too clean, white robe and turban and all. Just a regular ol dude with a funny eye piece.

Well did you want another Hakan who doesn't even look human (looks like a red alien)? Design does feel more Tekken though.

 

[Zukuu]

Love the grin. And what is it on his back, a metal owl?

Clearly a Jetpack.

 

[roknin]

I can see Juri returning very easily (please redesign her a bit, Capcom), but the rest... at most I could see Abel, but well, time will tell.

Juri, Viper and probably Rufus (for comedy relief), since they stood out the most.

Hakan, Abel, Elf and Seth are probably going to go by the wayside.

I'd easily trade one of them for Rufus though.

But yeah, I'm not necessarily worried about Juri making it as she's incredibly popular. BUT... Cap com likes to be Capcom sometimes, so who knows lol.

 

[LiK]

scouter + jetpack. aw yiss

 

[Lulubop]

Ya he fights with tech like Viper, maybe they're in the same organization

 

[Gonzalez]

an arabic character revealed on 9/11?

hmm...

HOW DARE YOU!!!

Ehhhh.... I don't care.

 

[delSai]

Dragonball Z v. Capcom confirmed.

You mean Jump vs Capcom, the MVC replacement right?

 

[OléGunner]

an arabic character revealed on 9/11?

hmm...

Is this a real post??

 

[Makki]

...Design does feel more Tekken though.

Right!, thats the point Im trying to make, he looks like he's from a cross universe, not belonging to SF

 

[Beelzebufo]

Ya he fights with tech like Viper, maybe they're in the same organization

Viper was my first thought as well. But he looks more goofy like Tony Stark.

 

[Rhaknar]

Design looks more like KOF style then Tekken to me

 

[Kain]

I would pu more money om viper than abel

Juri and viper are the only ones i would bet on. No one seems to like anyone else from 4. And no one notices abel.

Mmmm I don't know, is Viper that popular? I thought her KOF inspired fighting style was not liked by the SF community.

 

[J@hranimo]

Does this guy have a scouter on his eye?

 

[Star Falcon]

Kinda interesting character. He looks a bit like one of those arab playboys rather than the traditional middle eastern garb, kudos to Capcom for trying something new out!

cy@

Don't start this again.

Abel will return.

Crimson Viper got a popularity boost thanks to MvC3/UMvC3.

 

[Clawww]

Headwar is my only gripe about his design, Shaheen's headwear is much more stylish

Shaheen makes a lot of people look like dorks in comparison

 

[V-Faction]

Oh wow its not an eye-patch after all. Lol

And whats that in his back?

[ BADMAN ]

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Design looks more like KOF style then Tekken to me

not anime enough to be kof

 

[Sn4ke_911]

mirror because 4chan

This guy reminds me a bit of Jafar.

 

[jon bones]

can't wait for the proper trailer to drop

 

[cireza]

This guy reminds me a bit of Jafar.

Yep. Jafar meets Vegeta.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Any direct-feed screenshot and video yet?

 

[GeNoMe]

I think this is great, more developers should introduce north african and/or middle eastern characters in their games.
I'm not digging the scouter though, why does he have that thing plastered on his face? He a dbz fan or something?

 

[mnz]

Ya he fights with tech like Viper, maybe they're in the same organization

C. Viper has some similarities with Captain Commando, I hope they do something with that story.

[i HeaR MusiC]

yo, when is the second beta!?!?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Any direct-feed screenshot and video yet?

We should get those in 14 or so minutes.

 

[Neoxon]

Any direct-feed screenshot and video yet?

Not yet, but I'm refreshing the Street Fighter YouTube page & the PlayStation Blog for any high quality images &/or trailers of Rashid.

Yes, I love Viper specially initially, before the nerfed her. Viper and Abel are great in terms of character design and gameplay in my opinion. With Juri, I love her gameplay but I don't like her design.

doesn't need a reason

*high five*

My thoughts exactly.

They didn't want to make a character gimmick that was borderline racist and/or insulting so they gave him a jetpack and called it a day

 

[DerZuhälter]

Close. It's the palace guard:

The same charming clicheed grin. lol
