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

Maybe Necalli is the 2000 y/o Illuminati Emperor that Gill is supposed to be a reincarnation of. Who knows...
Aside from the core cast+Sagat, none of the sf2 cast was in Alpha 1
Aside from the core cast, nobody in Alpha made it into 3
Aside from the core cast, no one from 3 made it into vanilla sf4
They obviously backtracked from 3 since that was supposed to be a total refresh (and probably not the only one planned), but it doesn't mean Capcom hates 3. If nobody from 4 makes it into V then the cycle continues; if nobody from 3 makes it, then you can hate Capcom all you want.

Hmm wonder if Valle knows something
I just don't have faith in Capcom, it's too good to be true that Urien could be coming, it's probably gonna be sf2 cronies, samecrud different day scenario.
I seriously doubt it.
I think Ingrid is actually Harada's favorite, not Ono's IIRC.
In the same boat. If the leak is true then only Laura or Zen are possible mains for me. Otherwise I'm just going to have to suck it up and stick with someone that I'm not to thrilled about.

Clearly he's a delusional asshole. Alex is already confirmed. I wonder why Valle hates Urien so much?
Valle is fine, he isn't being a condisending ass.
I doubt it.

Did you not see his tweet? He doesn't think Alex is coming back. What, he thinks he knows better than Silliconera?

Let's not be too harsh towards a senile old man and his crazy opinions guys.
Really? I'm pretty sure Valle is in the know. Fucking Bifu is in the know

Same.

I wonder if the siliconera info were both from the same source.
Yup, when bifu is in the know, anyone that has ever streamed a FG is likely to be in the know
It makes sense tbh. Those 4 characters fullfill gameplay, story and nostalgia reasons. Add Guile to that list too.
If SFV is really a fall of shadowloo story, it makes a lot of sense for me that the original 4 bosses of SF2 be in this game. I know Sagat is not shadowloo anymore, but he had some pretty strong ties to it, is Ryu's rival, and adds a zoner to the cast.

Still I can't get over the fact Claw is in. If he's in there's no way Gief/Sim/Blanka are out.

You're not going to be in the know ever again if you leak the know.
This is probably grandpa Valle's kind way of letting us know that Urien and Alex are the final two because he'd never reveal the actual characters.

I would change that to Balrog/Sagat. Why would Claw make the cut over Boxer?

It's interesting to see how polarizing the last two are, but also how similar they are.
Gief/Sim vs. Alex/Urien
First two are both SFII vets.
Second two are both SFIII vets.
Gief and Alex are grapplers.
Sim and Urien are zoners.
Feels like there is something to these pairings being so specific.

Because claw is the most loyal to Bison? Balrog is only loyal to money and Sagat is not even down with them any more dude.
Gief/Sim
Since when?
wait what
Misdirection.

Shoulda gone with "Sim and Urien are mostly nude".

Hmmm imo that would be gief and sim

Both pairs will move negligible copies of the game

If you take the first three letters of all four of their character names then what number of letters do you get total?
Twelve!
If Twelve's revealed as the second last classic character then it would kill the dreams of SF fans throughout the world. When things die they begin to decay; a process that can also be referred to as necrosis. What classic SF3 character do the first 5 letters of that word spell?
Necro!
I think you're onto something here Karsticles.

Neither.
The number of potential customers who would or would not buy based on any of these sets of pairs
Alex/Urien
Boxer/Sagat
Sim/Gief
Is bound to be super-low. Most people who buy the game will buy the game due to it being Street Fighter, period. The branding is going to carry 75% of the weight here. The other 25% might include some people taking very specific characters into account, but I can't imagine it's going to be a sizable slice of that pie.

People pair Sim and Gief together because they're like the tier right below Ryu/Ken/Chun Li/Sonic Boom character in terms of being series staples. It's more than simply being from the original world warrior cast. The pair was carried over into Alpha and the Ex series. Look at what moves Seth assimilated. His moves are based on Ryu/Ken, Guile, Chun Li, Sim and Gief.
It's pretty embarrassing to see people complain about roster stagnation when they don't even understand that much.

+1 bro. But chances are 0 to none. The full roster is almost confirmed by now via siliconera leak.

Still going Boxer/Sagat. Urien as secret boss
Guile will get introduced as DLC (same with Sakura, Alex, etc. etc.) as they further advance the story through the updates to the game. There's going to be a lot of story-important characters, I'm betting, that are added to the game (along with relevant chunks of story) throughout the lifespan of the game.
If the game is being planned with extra characters in mind from jump, it's not a big hop to suggest it's also going to have an open-ended story that they'll continue to add to as well. Street Fighter V will likely not have a finite "end" to it as shipped. They'll keep adding story to it, I think.
