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

I was thinking that. He reminds me of Zabel, who can rushdown and keep away pretty effectively, only Twelve can't do either of those things. Only die lol. If they buffed him a little I can see him being pretty good. He is my main, but I'm not too anxious to see him come back.
Yep, we're on the same page
Aw, why'd you have to go and remind me of this awesome bastard
Capcom's next fighter needs some Darkstalkers in it
Arguments for Dhalsim being in the main roster:
-There are a lot of anti-zoning tools in the game, and not many to use them against (At least not someone who is supposed to play as a zoner)
Arguments against Dhalsim being in the main roster:
-So many anti-zoning tools that you have to ask yourself, how would he manage?! (Without a ton of tools. Hence Alex Valle's recent tweet:
-The leaked list that seems the most accurate right now, predicts Alex and Urien.
-People hate to fight against Dhalsim and he wrecks beginners.

Gief/Sim or Alex/Urien are both great choices to finish the roster. They all have diverse playstyles that would fit perfectly into an already diverse roster. Alex/Urien would be better suited for final reveals, but I'm still hyped to see either group. Though I could still see Akuma slipping there.
Oddly enough, the two I'd want to see the most are Urien and Dhalism. I'd love to see how they'd transition into SFV.

I don't know if that's odd or not, but I wholeheartedly agree.

I think there's a lot of value in having Sim in the roster even though I fucking hate Sim. We gotta use these anti zoning tools for something

Yeah, I think there' s a lot of value in having Dhalsim's playstyle on the roster. As a character design, not so much. Tired Indian stereotype doesn't really hold much value for me.

Laura could be a zoner with soccer ball! :V

Maybe they could give Dhalsim a beard?
Ew, I hope not.
It just feels like, as stated before, having SFII characters at the end to round out the initial roster (Balrog, Zangief, Sagat, Dhalsim, etc.) would just feel anti-climatic. Sure, there's DLC, but that's just DLC. That isn't what we'll be playing on Day 1 (unless we pay up). As for zoning, either Zen & Laura could easily be zoners (hell, maybe both). But with how the game is coming along, it looks like zoners would get their asses kicked unless they have a means to get around everyone else's anti-zoning tricks.

Ono is a producer, not a product manager

Baron Aloha
A Shining Example
Can I just say I think its going to be really weird having Karin around without Sakura? Feels like a yin without a yang. Kind of like having Iori without Kyo in KOF. Hopefully Sakura is one of the characters in the first major content update.
I feel like they're gonna have Rainbow Mika be Karin's rival instead of Sakura.

Yeah, I already feel like this is the case looking at them. It works well.

They're not rivals, Karin is Mika's sponsor.
I'm aware, but Mika's sponsor is also a viable fighter. I could see Mika trying to prove herself worthy of Karin's money by beating her.

Thank You. R. Mika and Rashid looking like new mains.
Guys, I think Laura is a member of Shadaloo. And before anyone says "Vega's description said one of the 4 Kings of Shadaloo", Capcom USA fucked up the localization. In the Japanese version, Vega/Claw's description said "One of the 4 Devas of Shadaloo". Devas do include females, as the word is a unisex meaning for "A divine being or god".

Why Laura? Why not Zen?

Because it sounds cool.
Lol. That was such a great normal in A3.
Him and combofiend are both producers as well now. He has put SF on the map almost as much as Ono. Japan develops the games but Capcom USA are the ones who fronted everything to make it happen, and Matt was part of that.
there is also a capcom premier at TGS
R Mika looks to be a dope main, even without a 360 grab. I'm hoping they drop a DLC alt ASAP, though.....
It's revealed by Urien in SFIII that Shadaloo has fallen by that time, though how exactly is unclear. Urien only makes a vague hint that Chun-Li is one major person in its downfall. According to the Street Fighter III supplementary books, Shadaloo's conception and its actions were planned by the Illuminati, but Bison is said to be unaware of their influences. So if we keep that in mind, there's the possibility that by this point, the Illuminati cut off Shadaloo's funding. And while this wouldn't take them down for good, this would spiral into their downfall (which seems to be the driving point of the Street Fighter V story). This is why I strongly believe that we'll see an Illuminati rep like Urien. That plus Bison losing both Balrog & Sagat would line up with that story arc for the game.

I swore that I read that somewhere else. I'm trying to remember where I saw this information
He could have reinstated Sagat and Balrog.
Sagat only joined to have his rematch with Ryu. After that happened, he didn't give a shit about Shadaloo. Sagat has since become more neutral in his alignment. Balrog also left Shadaloo during SFIV, though at least he could be paid into coming back by Bison. So assuming that Bison paid Balrog to come back, that still leaves one seat that needs to be filled.

Not if Sagat had anything to say about it. Sagat is a scary dude.

The Vs loading screen? Claw's fighting card?
Pretty sure Sagat has "found the light" and is done for good with them, would be disappointing if he came back for some stange SF-esque plot reason.
Yeah, I'm just saying it's possible, not that it's likely. Balrog seems like an opportunist so he'd probably return, Sagat has developed enough returning would be totally out of line for his character.

Sagat only joined Shadaloo to get a salty runback on Ryu, now that he's done with his Chris G ways there's no reason for him to work under Dictator again aside from some good ol' convenient brainwashing.
Godlike description

It's not that. Someone actually brought up Laura = shadaloo theory awhile ago. I'm trying to remember where I read about it.
