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

In the beta you got way, way more Fight Money for winning than losing so good players might be able to buy characters in a reasonable amount of time.

If the matchmaking system, and leagues, work then eve that should take awhile if there's no more chance of a completely new player running into someone who got top 32 at Evo.
 
All SFV needs is a tournament mode that uses only random stages. No need to remove it and we still get stage variety. All fighting games should have tournament modes, especially Street Fighter which guaranteed at tournaments.

If players complain then Capcom can ban the training stage from tournament mode altogether. :D
 
So who you guys think will be the least used in the first wave cast? My zenny is on Vega because with all the new news I forgot that fucker was even in the game already.

Idk motion Vega sounds like some crazy shit and Vega has always been a scrub killer (take it from a master scrub). Necali seems to be the one who will fall by the wayside , this is all based off of like 5 videos but he doesn't seem that good and giving him some charge moves will scare some people off. But honestly, I imagine most of the newcomers will fall down the list a bit, Rashid doesn't have that "errbody gonna play him" look to him IMO (whatever the fuck that actually means). Most people tend to stick to their mainstays after awhile...

I think people will play Necalli just because they like his super saiyan hair lol
 
I think the first wave most played will have a ton of Nacalli actually. Ryu, Ken, Nacalii, and tons of Bison.

Nash will be forgotten about and Vega will be a rare pokemon.

Nah. Look no further than the fallout over him being hybrid charge now. There probably were going to be tons of people playing him, but that change will make significant dent in that.

- No one (except Vega players) will play Vega until they realize he's now a motion character
- Rashid will be heavily slept on and wrongly despised for his fun shenanigans
- M. Bison will be played exclusively by people who think they're hardcore mf'ers
- Casuals will hate Birdie depsite not being too hard to overcome
- People will enjoy Nash, but will not enjoy him being repeatedly nerfed for no good reason
- Necalli will get play because Super Saiyan V-Trigger, but if those two specials remain charge moves he will be abandoned by a decent chunk
- Everyone will try R. Mika and Karin for the first two weeks; 75% of those players will migrate to something simpler
- K-Brad and Jamie Lee Curtis will play Cammy and that's all that matters
- Many will still play Chun-Li even if she's not that strong, because "That's my girl"
- Ryu Ryu Ryu Ken Ken Ken oh god i am drowning in them
 
Necalli will get lots of play, he's the ultimate "bro" character. My best guess for who will be least played based on the revealed characters is Birdie, because of aesthetics.

Who do you guys guess this game is about? If we say SF2 - Ryu, SF3 - Alex, SF4 - Abel (lol), it follows that one of the new characters would be the protagonist (for plot purposes) of SFV.

I agree about Mika/Karin. If they aren't top tier they probably won't get much play after the first few weeks the game is out. They can count on me though ;). I think Ken will be less prevalent once scrubs find out his DPs are unsafe as shit. I'll bet that Cammy is the new Ken.

Rashid. He's Iron Man.

Or Charlie!
 
If they are more serious about the story this time around, I don't know if they'll have a "main" character. I'd like it if they took a NRS approach where you play a lot of the cast during the main storyline.

My guess is that this would be the approach they would take. If it is, someone's going to end up being a Baraka tier jobber and I just hope it isn't a character I like.

I wouldn't say SF4 was about Abel. It was less focused on new protagonists, and more about the return of the World Warriors (someone had a good point a while ago about Seth and who he gets his moves from).

But SFV is a different beast. Of the new characters, Necalli seems to be the only hugely important one, and Rashid seems to be doing his own thing. I bet Laura and Zen will be more involved.
 
- Ryu Ryu Ryu Ken Ken Ken oh god i am drowning in them

First thing I'm doing if I get a training dummy with record and Ken available is looking for the hardest punish I can find/anti air for his ex air tatsu. That shit will see so much fucking mileage online.

Nash because he's going to be the super technical guy character, untill guy comes and then he will have a lonely buddy.

And MIka, I think a lot of casuals might not be into it. Urien for the same reason

Guy, man I hope he makes it in soon as dlc. I think he would do well in this games mechanics

Or Capcom could go back to the storytelling of the Justice Gakuen/Rival Schools games. Admittedly, there were only, what, seven (?) teams in MJG, but they had branching story paths and a lot of dialog.
 
There's no guarantee that they'll reveal a character at NYCC, a day or two after Laura gets revealed. They'll could just be showing off the NYC stage that is hinted @ in Ken's image background.... they could also talk about something that will move far more units than Alex, Urien, Gief and Sim combined x 50 thousand, you know the story mode like MK's.

Because yeah NYCC goers are so going to be pissed they get to play a brand new build with Laura & the Brazil stage (and maybe NYC as well) not to mention everything else they got shown off in the last two weeks. They really need that hype reveal....

Another reason I'm dubious about sim/gief is that I don't think they would wait until the end of the reveals the show them. Usually you would think more surprising or greatly requested characters would get revealed later in the cycle. Unless they're much more interesting than usual.

Gief is more popular than Alex or Urien, he's more well known by casual players who wouldn't even know who the fuck Alex or Urien are and he outpolled them easily in Capcom's official street fighter poll.

Would Alex be a more hype reveal than Gief? Obviously, but hey so would've been Phoenix Wright.compared to everyone else in Ultimate MVC3 if all the characters weren't hilariously leaked so early by Capcom's website.

If that was the case, we would just have the Capcom USA crew there to talk about the story mode like they talked about the DLC distribution plan at the EVO panel. Ono wouldn't be flying straight from Brazil to NYC if there wasn't gonna be a new character. Wherever he goes, a new character follows.
 
Both Cody and Oro have such obvious V-triggers they'll need to be in.

Eventually, they might be in.

For obvious V-trigger but aren't in the game yet: Juri.

It could be her Feng Shui Engine as was in SF4 or something else that gave her more of an agressive stance.
 
She better come back. She potential in her V-Trigger. ;____;
I hope she's one of the first batch of DLC characters.

My personal top 10 DLC wishlist...

Abel
Eagle
Rose
Poison
T. Hawk
Gunloc or Biff (Saturday Night Slam Masters)
Ingrid
Joe
Geki
Hakan's Wife

(This is under the assumption that Alex and Urien are in.)
 
Chun li's v-trigger is too close to feng shui IMO.

Even with that, Feng Shui wouldn't work as well in this game because of the reduced number of normal attacks. No chain combos at all would be possible or fun in this game.

To me, I always thought that her counter would make a great V-skill and for her V-Trigger, perhaps, making her even faster. Or go with combo properties that can throw the enemies to the air and continue from there. Kinda like Chun in the first SF V video.
