Awesome, thanks for the footage.

Will definitely be maining her along with Mika. Seems to have great specials and normals. And the foward hoping two hit move seems great against fireballs. Her pressure looks pretty safe so far.

She should make for a great Feilong/Yang replacement for Mago.

In the vid where Momochi played Rashid, the Capcom rep tried to command grab him with Mika after his dashing forward spinning move and failed both with the regular and EX command grabs.

Rashid's back dash looks fast and useful.
 
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 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.

Can't wait for SFVI in 6 years time where Gill will tell Urien that Dictator has played them like a fiddle.

After being swallowed by necalli and imprisoned by gill bison has managed to take control of necalli from the inside and finally escapes with a new goal of claiming the illuminati for himself.

For sure, also curious to see which characters the other top players will end up choosing.

Well, other than Infiltration, who will probably just main most of the cast again.

"Wait wait wait wait! Karin seriously came (to the game)? Don't fuck with me. Don't fuck with me! <3"

White outfit Karin is 100% guaranteed.

Sweet!
 
Karin is legitimately the second reveal they've had that made me want to play as that character.

The first was Cammy, since I usually play as Cammy.
 
4 hours of this dude playing Karin on stage and the first time anyone thinks to hit standing fierce to anti-air is Momochi's first match. I understand most dudes have never played Alpha 3 but damn, come on now. Push buttons. They do things.

Using normals to AA isn't something random people mashing buttons is going to think to do.

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that seems like common sense to people who play fighters that is not going to initially come to mind to those who don't. That is just one of many.
 
i mean, its kind of not really "art"

i wonder why capcom has gone this route for both sf4 and 5, now
they just touch up a picture of the 3d model
i wanna see actual concept art!

They should seriously get Kinu Nishimura, Akiman or Bengus on the line.

Especially on something that doesn't visually look meant to hit a jumping person. It's why new players jump around so much. It works versus people on the same level as them.

Cool to see Momochi put stuff together, though. I love the evolution of learning a character. Really fun for me to go back to old vids to see how much strategies have changed over time.
 
Rashid's spin move safe on block? Mika couldn't get a grab in afterwards, i wonder what the range is on her command grabs.

hope she's in the next beta...

That's what it looked like to me. I think it's done out of his run, though, so it's not something he'd easily be able to do for repeat pressure.

nah, problem X was doing exactly that on the WSO stream. Seemed like really good pressure. Not sure if it's safe though, maybe just unfamiliar with it
 
Just watched some of the momochi videos and it bugs me that he doesn't use karin's flailing arm special thingy to punish ryu's fireballs since it can pass through(above?) it.

Looked like his first time using her and he was just figuring out her buttons. When he saw the new backdash from her rekkas, he kept doing that like, "oh, that's cool."

I assume Karin has better ways to deal with fireballs than that. Looks way too situational to just use to hop over fireballs.

You can do mixer manually or out of run. How many hits it does depends on how many times you press the button. This also dictates how safe or unsafe it can be.

From what it looks like the jab mixer is safeish on block when you don't mash.

Good analysis, but I think that makes it less likely we''ll see a new member.
 
But judging by the fact that it says "4 Kings of Shadaloo" & Sagat likely isn't coming back, Bison either got Balrog back & hired a newbie, or hired 2 newbies.

I would say 4 kings of shadaloo is clearly a callback to the origins of the characters and doesn't hint at anything else.

Then why say "4 Kings"? Obviously Sagat's gone, & Balrog likely won't return if the Illuminati really did cut off Shadaloo's funding. So either they're just keeping that title for Bison & Vega to save face, or Zen & Laura are the new recruits.

I don't really remember that much from Street Fighter 4 story plot but who is 4th member of Shadaloo when Sagat left.
