Street Fighter V Roster Discussion: P-P-P-P-PATTERN BREAKER

I like what i have seen from karin so far, except for that spin she gives her opponent in her ca.

So if we're getting Laura (or any female newcomer) this will become the SF with the highest females to males ratio (5:16, ~0.31).

that is females to total cast ratio not females to males.

Speculation time:
I think Zen will be an old man, the game doesn't have the old guy fighter (Dictator doesn't count, he's just a handsome dude in his 50s with slick white hair).
He might be dressed in Buddhist monk garb.

That sounds like a good guess
 
Isn't it seeming like the title of the thread should be "Everything you know is right" ?

Well we did get two reveal predictions right so far. Laura is practically a given at BGS, so I expect we'll be right about that too.

But I think we need a Urien or Alex reveal to really seal the deal. It's what everyone is most iffy about at the moment.
 
I'll admit, I'm decidedly meh on Karin. Her inclusion does nothing for me either way. BUT. If this means that the Siliconera stuff is true, and the remaining 4 characters are Zen, Laura, and mother fucking Alex and Urien then holy shit am I hyped.

Whens the next expected reveal, NYCC in October?
 
Alex and urien now also confirmed I think. Also Karin looks horrible lol face design wise. Looks like Cammy on an alternate outfit. Sfv looks great animation wise but some of these character design looks downright NRS level bad.
 
Wonder if Karin will get an Ingrid outfit alt.
For that matter wonder if Mika would get Black Widow's costume from Slam Masters/Muscle Bomber.

Brazil Game Show is the first confirmed event on the 8th of October which is when NYCC starts as well, although NYCC lasts for three days and anything could happen during those three days.
 
Good Abel play is one of the best things you can see in USF4, so I wouldn't be mad.
The thing with Urien is that they also have to make him fun in this engine and I don't see it yet, but I'm hopeful.

Karin doesn't do anything for me so far, she's kind of a bland character. Her offense looks fun, but that's pretty common in 5 so far.

They could just as easily reveal Laura on the 8th & Alex on the 9th. Either way, Laura has to come first so Alex doesn't steal her thunder.

Yeah, I don't expect both on the same day and I think Ono confirmed we were getting a reveal at BGS on the 8th which is no doubt Laura. Alex (if he does get revealed at NYCC) would most definitely be after Laura.

Hm. We got two in September, basically within a week of each other. So we could get two in October as well. Maybe Laura and Alex in October (would fit, with it being NY and all.) and then Zen and Urien at Capcom Cup in December?

Yeah this possible. I'm expecting a Zen trailer to drop randomly during November and Urien to have PSX and Capcom Cup to himself.

Agreed. After having both Rashid & possibly Laura sharing space with highly-anticipated veterans, Zen having the entire month of November to himself would be nice. And Urien would make sense as the last character in the initial roster.
 
As much as I'm hoping the last two are not Alex and Urien, at this point I'm convinced it will be them. The recent interview descriptions, although seemingly contradictory are not cut and dry enough to rule them out. Unless it's verbatim from a written PR, you will often be coming up with wording on the fly, even if you know the talking points. So, there's some room for interpretation in that interview response. For all we know, the 4 new characters are internally grouped as all returning alpha characters, which they are, and they're just choosing not to use that specific language to keep people guessing.
 
Capcom also said no Sentinel in MVC3 but then Sentinel happened
No Yatterman 2 in TvC either but lo and behold, Yatterman 2
The Sentinel thing was a mistranslation, so I'll give Capcom that. But you are right about Yatterman-2.

You only need to blame the audiences who twisted Seth's words.

the developers have flat out lied before on other titles (NO YATTERMAN 2, if I remember correctly)

No. Seth Killian said, "We have 25 characters..." and people assumed it meant "OMG YATTERMAN-2 DISCONFIRMED 100%." It wasn't a flat-out lie, but misinterpretation. Whether the Sentinel comment was misinterpreted or not remains to be seen...
 
Honestly new characters havent gotten that much hype from the fans so far. Necalli just sort of happened, and the reason Rashid blew up was cause the leak of his video was on a really bad day:/ while im all for new characters theyll never get as much take off from the beggining as an established character like Ken or Karin. If you want new characters to be center stage you have to make the ratio of new characters larger than returning but weve seen that back fire majorly during New Generation which bums me out cause i like everyone from that game and subsequent entries more than all the returning cast.
Except remy, remy can go and stay go, and twelve.

Now that I've been reminded of the NYCC I'm revising my guess, 3 in October

Laura on the 8th October,
Alex on the 9th/10th
Urien at PGS , 27th my guess
With Zen at PSX

Three in Oct and 0 in November is only reason why I have a feeling that we might not get anything from NYCC even it could be perfect for Alex's reveal. However, they could focus on announcing other modes for Street Fighter V and hyping up Zen for the announcement. It's possible that Zen or Urien could be a final boss

Well so far we got 2 reveals per month didn't we?

I wouldn't bet on it, but I think it's possible Zen could be female.


Oh they literally said it wasn't Decapre? That's kind of pathetic.

I dunno about saying outright no Decapre, but I do remember a lot of "hahaha very few people have guessed right" comments when a fuckton of people expected one of the dolls, Decapre being the most common guess
 
I hope more people can see the difference between refusing to admit an unrevealed character when directly asked because of a NDA and um... deliberately creating a false select screen graphic with the sole intention of misleading people three months down the line?

Yeah, they did not flat out say, no its not her. It was Ono were just trolling by saying nobody guessed it yet despite every imaginable character being guessed. It was kinda funny in retrospect.

Right. That's why I felt that three characters could be too much in a month which potentially hurt hype train during November.

2 Oct
1 Nov
1 Dec

Unless they misleading us with those 16 characters chart or announcing downloadable/boss characters early.
 
I hope that the final boss isn't someone out of the 16 characters to be announced. Eisbahn dude sounds like a nice candidate.

I think Urien will be the last character revealed and will be the boss.

Bogard never said the fourth new character (Necalli) would be the boss, right? That was added later by someone else?

He never said anything about Necalli at all iirc. He only mentioned the other 3 new characters.
 
Alex and urien now also confirmed I think. Also Karin looks horrible lol face design wise. Looks like Cammy on an alternate outfit. Sfv looks great animation wise but some of these character design looks downright NRS level bad.

Some of the faces certainly need work but let's not get carried away.
 
I don't get the face complaints. They are still going for the action figure/doll look and they hit it pretty well, I think. They must have an interesting style guide for all of that.
 
I'm surprised so many people said they forgot the Decapre lie-fest prior to her reveal.

#TeamSilconeraLeak over statements open to interpretation from people who have a vested interest and history in misleading people to try and maintain some element of surprise. Alex and Urien for the final two veteran spots.

Yep. Agreed.
