Alex

Time to throw in the towel son.

Nope. Willing to accept avatar or monetary bets that Alex/Urien aren't making the main roster

Really? After Silicon era has gotten two of their four character predictions right?

 

[Platy]

So Laura At Brasil Game Show

Alex at New York Comic Con days later/after

Urien at Paris Game Show

And Zen in ..... november/december ?

Alex & Urien can be DLC and Siliconera will still be right. They never said launch roster.

 

[Weeaboosuke]

Urien is going to look so raw in this game.

 

[Tizoc]

If Alex gets announced i will legit rip off one of my t shirts and record it once i get back from my trip.

Someone should make a gif of the SF2 stage destination and replace one of the characters with ono

Don't! It'd be a waste of a shirt! Rip a shirt made of printer paper instead!

Urien at Paris Game Show

PSX. I assume the last reveal will be him so probably Zen at PGS

 

[zedreamcast]

If any of the super turbo cast got it any more it wouldnt be geif and sim. Itd be Akuma and someone else probs Sagat or Boxer.
Akuma hasnt being in at least on iteration of a street fighter game and has way more following than geif or sim. Not many people will be excited for any of the WW cast that arent Ken, Ryu, Chun, and Guile.

 

[Scotia]

Laura At Brasil Game Show

Alex at New York Comic Con

Zen during November

Urien at PSX/Capcom Cup

This is how I think it's going to go.

 

[Raitaro]

Oh cool another level.

Where are ALL the other levels

Heck, this is as good an excuse as any to quote my own (overlooked) post again! Speculate away Gaf!

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:

Possible proof 1 of shared stage theory
- 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.

Possible proof 2 of shared stage theory
- 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 on the left)?

Possible proof 3 of shared stage theory
- 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?

- 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?

- 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 conclusion, I'm beginning to think that the stage selection 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.

 

[Shadoken]

I don't take siliconera rumor as true. How hard was it to guess Mika and Karin. That bottom row was supposed to be returning Alpha characters.

Those two and Sodom are literally the only ones left. Plus they were on every Damn leaked list.

I am guessing urien Alex as DLC. Really doubt this numbered SF part of the roster is even a thing.

A lot of people were screaming "bullshit" the moment they saw Mika in any list, so it wasn't some no brainer guess, specially since Karin/Mika rumours have happened in every damn game after Vanilla 4

That bottom row is for characters not seen in a while, not Alpha.

 

[Zissou]

Ahh- true. But why you think they won't be in the launch roster?

She's in the top 10 in Japan and like what top 15 worldwide?

Mika, Karin. Q were the top 3 non SF4 characters in that poll. Did people really think Capcom did that poll for nothing?

And the constant Mika teases in USF 4.

I was calling bullshit on the list strictly cause capcom doesnt fully own the rights to Karin since she belongs to the writer of that sakura manga. So Karin and Mika were like the two characters that had almost no chance to get in to me.

 

[Dremark]

Apparently they were pretty difficult considering how many people were insisting there was no way they were in.

Did you predict their inclusion?

 

[Momentary]

Ahh- true. But why you think they won't be in the launch roster?

Most people who are doubting them being in the initial roster now are holding out hope for other characters to make it.

 

[notworksafe]

They aren't "classic" or "most known" characters as described by Matt Dahlgren

 

[Clawww]

this thread is gonna be wild next month

 

[Beelzebufo]

I meant the more general placement of characters. SF 2 and SF 5 on the right, SF 1 and Alpha on the left.

Hmm, that does make sense!

Most people who are doubting them being in the initial roster now are holding out hope for other characters to make it.

?? That's quite a leap. "This person doesn't share my boundless optimism for Alex, therefore they must have a selfish motive for doubting he will be in."

 

[Village]

They aren't "classic" or "most known" characters as described by Matt Dahlgren

Eh after mika , karin. You know the crazy out of that leak.

You need to just give up on that " classic character " stuff.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Eh after mika , karin. You know the crazy out of that leak.

But some random ass text leak on Gamefaqs also had Mika and Karin before Silconera, didn't it? And Zangief and Dhalsim, who would fill two (three?) missing archetypes in this roster.

 

[zedreamcast]

The question is who the heck is Matt Dahlgren? Hes not Ono who knows how much he knows or if thats what he was told to say.

 

[Producer]

i know its Matt but maybe we shouldn't take his words from that interview as gospel. Could be just intentionally trying to throw people off.

 

[notworksafe]

Everyone so confident yet not willing to put anything on the line

 

[Momentary]

I'm just laughing about the Ono not being able to be at two places at once crap last night. And now he will be at two places. Just not at once. Because airplanes.

 

[Shadoken]

Did you predict their inclusion?

Never doubted it. I always stuck with the SF2, Alpha and New characters when capcom showed the roster at comic con.

Come to think of it. If siliconera did put out this rumor before comic con I'll take that back, it would have been impossible to guess.

I still find it weird people are soooo surprised, look at the poll people it's not like they added Necro and Remy or something. That added two of the most fan requested characters.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Nope. Willing to accept avatar or monetary bets that Alex/Urien aren't making the main roster

It really sound like you have heard something behind the scene. (Wink)

Sim/Gief/Zen/Laura

Unlockable boss/first dlc: Urien

Next two characters for DLC: Alex and Juri.

 

[PadWarrior]

Alex is gonna look so good in this game

 

[Beelzebufo]

I'm just laughing about the Ono not being able to be at two places at once crap last night. And now he will be at two places. Just not at once. Because airplanes.

Still waiting on that NYC stage that you said was confirmed

 

[Momentary]

Just stop dude. You're tirade last night has just lost all validity with Ono showing up at NYCC. You were swearing up and down it wasn't going to happen.

Just give it up.

Still waiting on that NYC stage that you said was confirmed

It's city streets bro. Calm down. I'm right. It might not show up there but Alex will. BUt they probably will introduce both at the same time for that hypeness.

 

[notworksafe]

It really sound like you have heard something behind the scene. (Wink)

Sim/Gief/Zen/Laura

Yep, I heard the Senior Product Manager for fighting games at Capcom tell two outlets exactly what types of characters we were getting

 

[Lulubop]

The question is who the heck is Matt Dahlgren? Hes not Ono who knows how much he knows or if thats what he was told to say.

Street Fighter brand manager lol, come on dude. He's not just some dude/

I'm with you Notworksafe. On the WSO stream two days ago they seemed to imply a heavy grappler with a true gief spd was on the roster. I mean it could be one of the new characters I guess

 

[jon bones]

If (when) we get Alex and Urien, Vega really is going to be an extraordinarily weird outlier in this starting lineup...Juri really would have made so much more sense

Juri will sell boatloads of DLC, Vega maybenotsomuch

Alex is gonna look so good in this game

i know, i can't wait for NYCC

finna play some 3s tngh

 

[Platy]

So GAF, which character do you vote as LESS LIKELY to enter SF5 ?

Remy, because Capcom don't want to show SNK how to turn KOF sprites into 3D ?

Carlos, because Final Fight 3 is the distant ugly cousin of Street Fighter ?

Geki because he is a group of generic ninjas in the comic ?

 

[zedreamcast]

Street Fighter brand manager lol, come on dude. He's not just some dude

Sorry i didnt know him ;-;

 

[Beelzebufo]

Just stop dude. You're tirade last night has just lost all validity with Ono showing up at NYCC. You were swearing up and down it wasn't going to happen.

Just give it up.

Don't worry, I'm not a sore winner lol. You'll get through this.

But yeah, so was that gamefaqs leak that was mostly legit just a coincidence? It was missing Vega, but people thought Siliconera used it as their source when it was revealed. Siliconera didn't know vega was in either, or at least didn't choose to share it.

 

[Shadoken]

Sim/Gief/Zen/Laura

This seems the most plausible.

 

[pizzacat]

The NYCC reveal will be the ultimate deciding factor. Will Siliconeria triumph? Or will SF3 maintain its Tokyo Drift status? Mark you calendars!

Why are you nerds mention Tokyo drift it's like the most important part to that series

 

[Stone Ocean]

Yep, I heard the Senior Product Manager for fighting games at Capcom tell two outlets exactly what types of characters we were getting

And Capcom has lied in PR regarding characters rosters before so...

 

[vg260]

The question is who the heck is Matt Dahlgren? Hes not Ono who knows how much he knows or if thats what he was told to say.

He's one of Capcom's senior project managers and works on their fighting game brands.
Cross-posting, but you can hear how the groupings were described from Matt at Capcom @4:14:

Just by purting the sentance "dont worry im not a sore winner lol."
Makes you sound like a sore winner and a sore loser no matter what the outcome is.

 

[Beelzebufo]

I'm really excited for the Hakan reveal, the Dubai stage confirms it. Also the temple stage is obviously an Indian temple but not a monk temple, so I guess that confirms Dhalsim as well since they need a character to reveal the stage with.

Just by purting the sentance "dont worry im not a sore winner lol."
Makes you sound like a sore winner and a sore loser no matter what the outcome is.

I mean I think it's the preferable option to just stating "I'm right" over and over for no reason, like our stage imagining friend is doing.

You are a sore loser though, When Alex is announced you will be eating your words.

 

[jon bones]

Hakan and Remy need to never show up in SF again.

Why are you nerds mention Tokyo drift it's like the most important part to that series

yeah, it makes no sense. Han is an INTEGRAl part of the story and the whole thing kicks off the magnum opus that is Furious 7.

 

[notworksafe]

And Capcom has lied in PR regarding characters rosters before so...

And Siliconera is often incorrect with their rumors

 

[Shadoken]

I would gladly love to eat a crow when Alex and Urien are revealed for main roster though

I just don't see it happening.

 

[pizzacat]

It's also the best in the series


Are you guys finally admitting 3s dominance


Oh god that teggy joke just flew through me

 

[zedreamcast]

And Siliconera is often incorrect with their rumors

Well so far their rumor has been 100%
