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

Didn't you already flat out say earlier in this thread that you know it's Gief/Sim for the final two slots? Like, not a prediction. But that you have inside info, and you said based on that info that you know it's Gief/Sim?



Why would anyone bet you if that was the case?

Do you actually 100% know, or are you just convinced that's the scenario that makes the most sense? Because if you actually knew without a doubt and had that info, we can stop doing this particular dance.

It's starting to get tired and sad.
 
Didn't Ken Bogard Leak say 4 new characters.

Rashid
Laura
Zen
New boss

Is it safe to assume necalli is the boss? Maybe he will be permanently vtrigger.
 
I don't know of vulva actually has insider info. But common knowledge we have on the roster does indicate Girf/Sim. I already posted on why I think it's these two a few pages back.

No.

Nothing indicates Gief/Sim except a lack of imagination for what "Characters you'd expect to see in a SF Game" means coming out of Matt Dahlgren's mouth.

There are far more reasons to think Sim isn't in this game (playstyle doesn't fit, characters given anti-FB spam tools, we have a new Indian character coming) than there are to think he's in it.
 
That's what I thought. I haven't checked much match footage, but I read that she has a specific throw for crouching opponents.

oh shit, is this true? i asked in another thread but i don't think anyone responded.

in a video i thought her swing-around command grab worked on crouching opponents.

Mika lookin main-quality.

I dunno, if he actually does have that information, that's useful: We'd then know what's up. It's not like having a wrong guess is a terrible, horrible thing. There's nothing on the line for any of us in here simply speculating. If we're wrong, so what. It's just goofing around while we wait.

But if dude actually knows who the last two characters are, then we can stop speculating. So basically - is he talking shit for the sake of talking shit, or does he really know?

Just to be clear, I don't actually know if there is a redesign. I just know it'll be those two for the returning slots

I'd be nice to know one way or the other, is all.

No matter how you twist it Urien isn't a character you'll expect to see in a SF game. Call it misdirection, or just plain bullshit like Ono's "only a few have guessed the last Ultra character" comment. But don't try to spin Urien into a series staple, he's not.

I doubt it...why reveal him so early then? Not to mention that they didn't say it. If anything, it'd be Bison again as he's old.

I'm not saying it's Siliconera (I'd expect Urien as a boss, not a playable char on day 1)- just that Sim is absurdly unlikely.
 
If he was revealed last everyone would've thought he was the last boss... I doubt he's the main boss but he might be like Akuma/Gouken and get a Shin form as a secret boss...

he might have a form where he has absorbed bison or some illuminati character to further transform
 
I'm betting on an unplayable boss character. Non of the last rumored characters sound like a good fit and we probably need some strong Illuminati associate for the story. I hope it's not Gill, though.

edit: Necalli doesn't fit, because a) he's kind of stupid and b) he wouldn't have been such an early reveal.
 
So about Fightcade, I tried to launch SF3 Third strike but Norton says one of the apps/files isn't safe? I really wanted to play a few games against the cpu just to see what it was like

Bro, Seth was the villain in 4.

But anyway, I think they could easily give him an even more powered up unplayable version or something. There might not be a single "boss" in this game because of how story works, you just need a scary character to face in the arcade ladder.

Although unplayable Urien would work too, maybe mixed with Necalli or some shit

He's pretty cool, much cooler than Seth and Gil... So uh.

I didn't realize there was a rule on how early boss characters can be revealed. I think off his VTrigger he gives a boss or mini boss vibe.

Seth had an evil masterplan, he was intelligent. Like a typical boss character. Actually every boss character in Street Fighter ever, if I remember correctly. Look at Necalli's win quotes, he's a mindless beast.
 
I could definitely see a powered-up form of Bison, Urien, Necalli, or Akuma (ugh) as the final boss. I don't think Capcom will go with a totally separate, non-playable character this time around. It just seems too wasteful (making a playable version of the character later available via DLC would rub people the wrong way) and unnecessary (Bison/Urien/Necalli all could be tied strongly to the story).

It's a normal throw though

Yeah, if Mika throws a crouching opponent there's a different animation/properties for the same input. Like Tekken's side/back throws or Alex's back throws in SF3.

Seth was the last to be revealed (before the secret bosses) for SF4 arcade.
 
Yeah, Necalli still have a chance to be one of those bosses, along with Bison and Urien. I'm fine with any of those three for now.

For Vulva and NotSafeNetwork, they implied that they have insider information about Gief and Sim. I don't think we should make a huge deal out of it right now. Just wait until NYCC and see what would happens.
 
We will know in NYCC.

If either pair it's confirmed or if we are completely mistaken and fooled by Ono (again).

I wonder if they will start talking DLC characters before the game launch.

EDIT: I don't think Urien would be a boss. It makes sense in the story, but he's far too weak and, uh, boring. Even if Seth was boring, he was at least a brand new character.
I cannot picture a big final showdown against Urien.
