The game still doesn't have many charge characters. It could use more imo.

They decided on the starting roster long ago. Just think about the Ken Bogard leak. He said Rashid was a new character in December. He was just released last week. If they were really going to let leaks affect the starting roster he would have been the easiest to change.

I got my wish! Karin looks so good. Now i can go out and buy a PS4 for this game later this year.
Tekken had the World Tekken Federation site before, which was basically just like this. They closed it after a year though. =/

Urien only had a couple of charge moves if I remember correctly, so I don't think so.
This mix of charge and command worked very well in SFIII and I'm sure it will work wonders in SFV. Now Capcom, revert Bison's Inferno to + at block pls

Hey guys, I know the release is still a few months away but has there been any word on region-locking?
I'm gonna get the PS4 version but I live in Pakistan. If there isn't any region locking then buying from the NA PSN store is the best option. Otherwise, I'll just get a Region 2 copy.

If they have DLC characters at launch they would make more cash as no one would have had time to make MAH FIGHT MONEY.

Her hair looks like curly fries, lets be real. They need to soften that mess. Let her have her natural eyebrow color too. And fix her bisque doll face.
Other than that, she looks fabulous.

Pretty sure the roster was locked down way before they decided to make Necalli a chargee character.

Makes sense to me. If I wanted to play the same stale characters from SF2 that I just spent the past 7 years playing in SF4, I'd play any one of the dozens of games they've been in since '91. Stagnation isn't exciting.
The two have nothing to do with eachother. There is no rule that says there can only be 3 charge moves in a Street Fighter game.
One week gap isn't exactly the same as a day apart or even the same day.

It's negligible IMO.
It's not like fighting games haven't revealed multiple characters simultaneously in the past. I don't think most people would see it as an issue.
I have no idea why Vega is in the starting roster at all tbh. If they are really going with the "Fall of Shadowloo" plot line then Bison and his crew should either all be here or nobody but Bison needs to be here. Bison & Vega but no Balrog or Sagat confuses me.

It was a color balance issue, given the other changes they made to his design.
Changing Vega and Karin's eye color is Capcom admitting that they're are too many blondes in the cast
The funny thing about this post is that it laments spending 7 years with the same cast but admits that those characters existed in the franchise for longer than that.
Saying "I hate sf2 characters" doesn't make much sense when you're only complaining about sf4.
Pretty sure Sagat's been done with Shadaloo for a while now. Don't know about Balrog; he could be in, or he could have been killed by Nash already.
The story could start near the end of Shadaloo's descent, where only Vega and M. Bison are left, and portray their last stand.

It's basically work-out gear underneath her school uniform, so it wouldn't be that bad. Though I was hoping for something along the lines of this.
Just woke up, saw the trailer and I had to quote you.
Good show neoxon

Vega's description says "one of four shadowloo kings" or something along those lines. I don't think anything changed.
It does, but unless Balrog and Sagat are the last two returning characters I get the feeling that it will be changing.
I really do want that other Siliconera leak to hold true, but I could see that happening.
Or maybe just one of them so Alex can still make the initial roster, Capcom pls.

so the next character (i'm guessing Laura) to be announced at the Brazil games show early next month?
Urien at PGS?
Alex at PSX?
Zen, when? next year?

Balrog if sf4 is any indication hasnt been "with" them for a while. He just steals bison's shit.Pretty sure Sagat's been done with Shadaloo for a while now. Don't know about Balrog; he could be in, or he could have been killed by Nash already.

Tired of looking at that Karin fan art.
Also, there's nothing wrong with Karin's face.

I dunno about that
Also her shoes look weird
Also why didnt they give her suit pants

She has a Ken situation. Where she has a weird angle on her face in the character select screen. Outside of that, there really isn't anything wrong with her.
But for sure, the curls need work. What's wrong with her shoes? My Ex has pair that looks exactly like those that Karin wears. Lol

Yeah, the worst thing about 'Blonde Fighter' is the actual yellow color they're slapping on everyone. They need to mix a lot more Honey into that Mustard.
They look super simple compared to the rest of her outfit, I think they should look more detailed, that strap with the white strip at he top is really throwing me off. It looks like they modernized everything about her outfit, except her shoes.
There's a SFV panel at nycc next month. I'd be shocked if they don't show Alex then.
Alex and a sick NY stage. Do it Capcom.

At least it's less of a sausage fest now. But yeah, kinda blonde overkill.

Wish the initial count was 18 instead of 16. Karin needs Sakura and Charlie needs Guile.
Other than that, I'm good if Alex, Urien and 2 newcomers are the rest of the announcements.

Well since it's looking like the leaks are on track I can say this starting roster is pretty weak for me. I'm not some pro At SF or anything, at best you're looking at a mid level player on a good day. So I'm more of a character person over how they play.
Looks like I'll just have to wait on DLC since I know what I want will be there. If not hopefully the newcomers are cool.

An 18 character roster with Q and Makoto to compliment Alex/Urien would be the very tip top tier. It'd let SFIII match with Alpha and make for a perfect roster (well, if you replaced Vega with Juri lol).

isnt that around the same time as the brazil show? so we could have laura and alex announced on top of each other
Detective mode: on. Help me speculate based on the stages and character art Gaf.
If you look at both Karin and Ryu's official art, you'll see that both show different parts of the new Japan stage in their backgrounds. The same goes for Vega and Cammy's art, which both show different parts of the London stage.
This gives me great hope that all of the background art is in fact hinting at elements of an actual stage found in the game, which in turn could mean that Ken and Alex could very well share that New York stage shown in Ken's art.
Here's a list of stage elements as found in the official character art, grouped by characters that might fit in the same stage and by what is found in an actual stage so far:
- Chun-li -> shows a Chinese restaurant with columns and some neon signs -> is found on left side of the Bustling Side Street stage (China).
- Fei Long (going by the signs on the busses)?
- Yun/Yang?
- Cammy -> shows clock at a train station -> is found in the middle/right side of the London stage.
- Vega -> shows some glass windows, a half-round one in particular -> this seems to be the roof + left side of the London stage.
- Ryu -> shows an old Japanese temple with statue, Mt. Fuji and the moon -> all are present on the left side of the new Japan stage.
- Karin -> shows Japanese style bridge with moon and a building - all are present on the left side of the new Japan stage as well.
- Ibuki (due to the ninja o the left)?
- Bison -> shows a Bison statue, a honeycomb-like structure and what appears to be an Asian temple of sorts in front of the moon -> not found in any stage so far but I have a feeling it will connect to Necalli's stage due to the temple.
- Necalli -> shows a cliff side and an Asian looking (?) temple in the background -> not found in any stage yet but it could be linked to Bison's stage.
- Juri (assuming she will be hunting down Bison still)?
- Ken -> shows a street lined with New York-ish/Colonial style (?) office buildings and cars -> not seen in any stage yet.
- Alex?
- Nash -> shows those Egyptian looking Illuminati-ish statues -> they are found to the right of the Forgotten Waterfall stage in an inaccessible(?) section.
- Urien (Illuminati connection)?
- R. Mika -> shows wrestling ring with Japanese text -> not seen in any stage yet.
- Zangief/Alex?
- Birdie -> shows a tube station with a Colombian Roast logo -> not found on the London Stage despite the toilet on the left side being similar to Birdie's Alpha stage and him being English; maybe it will be featured in a new stage?
- Oro/Sean?
- Rashid -> shows a desert and Dubai-like city -> not found in any stage yet unfortunately.
- Urien (going by his 2nd impact stage)?
- Laura -> no art yet -> assumedly connected to Brazil stage with the tram, favellas and soccer statue on the mountain.
- Blanka/Sean?
- Zen -> no art yet -> perhaps connected to a new India stage?
- Dhalsim?
In short, I'm beginning to think that the stage selection will not be totally random and that the stages will be made in such a way that all characters, possibly including the first batch of DLC ones, will fit in one of them. This means that each stage will have to be designed in a way that it will fit 2 or even 3 characters, which is something they could accomplish by adding multiple parts to stages (behind breakable walls if need be), like in the Bustling Side Street, and by making each stage varied in its scenery when going from one side to the other (like the Japan stage and its old Japanese atmosphere on the left to fit Ryu and rich mansion atmosphere on the right to fit Karin).
Fake edit: if anyone is willing to add the character art, which I can't do right now, that would be great as we can then investigate them even more closely with this shared stage theory in mind.

Wouldn't surprise me, Rashid and Karin were pretty darn close as well.
Why thank you.
