That's what I'm saying. Akuma fans are accustomed to playing as him right out of the box, it would kill all hype if Capcom announced he was unlockable in this one.
Street Fighter V Roster Discussion: P-P-P-P-PATTERN BREAKER

If I recall, EVO used the recent patch. They just didn't use the new characters released after Mewtwo.
Tournament organizers would not like it but how do you know most other people don't like unlockable characters? I suspect a lot of casuals would enjoy having characters unlocked for accomplishing goals in single player or multi.
You had to unlock him in 4.

So the cutoff date is a month before EVO. So characters must be released within 3-4 months of release day if they want to be in EVO.
Capcom are really taking the tournament scene into account so I doubt they would do something that goes against that. Unlockable characters that can not be bought would go against that.

And that's one of the reasons people still distrust Capcom. Did you forget the outrage? Look the point is, Capcom will never release DLC characters for SFV for at least a few months, otherwise they're stealing money from players.
Although then they're keeping characters away for an arbitrary reason, but Crapcom gonna Crapcom I guess.

I can tell you this , people are going to love unlockables over buying the game again and again. OR Paying for DLC characters.
And as long as Capcom allows some kind of USB method to just bring your profile to the tournament machine. You just need to login to your id and play.

Sure they could be bought why not or what ferrio said.
Yeah if it is so hard as to be considered a grind sure they wouldn't like that but we don't know their plans, i would imagine that if there was early dlc the logical thing to do would be to make this particular dlc easy to unlock (to make the transition to this model easier) through single player content or few matchs of multi.

Why are we even having this argument? I 100% I remember a Capcom rep saying that when the game launches, there will nothing to spend fight money on because there'll be no DLC yet. Don't have a source so if someone else who remembers this could corroborate me here that would be swell.

Exactly, we'll definitely have to wait at least until after EVO (6 months?) or fans will riot.
That doesn't say anything about the majority and i assume that casuals usually don't buy these updates as much as hardcore players do.
I've watched every interview that I've come across and I don't recall them saying that. Only that when you buy the game all 16 of those characters will be playable and you won't have to unlock any of them. They did not confirm or deny any "Day 1 DLC" characters specifically as far as I recall. I'm pretty sure I would have remembered it.
If anyone does have them saying there will be no DLC at launch conclusively, please post the source. I want to hear their language used. It wouldn't surprise me if they waited a few weeks, though just to avoid complaints about holding back characters.

I've been following this game closely, was at the evo panel, and don't remember hearing this.
Link?

They're just unnecessary because you can have the same experience while also giving the option of buying them. I'm assuming you mean unlockable characters like they used to have in older fighters.
After thinking about it more, for something like that much money I'd rather go with my initially proposed bet of my 2 vs your 2. While I am confident in those two based on a logically inferred knowledge, I know it's not 100% and it'd be a bad call to play with that money while putting a huge percentage of odds against me. So I'd be down but only if you pick two characters as well, leading to a wash if neither are picked.
Someone planted that memory in your brain.
gief/sim vs alex/urien specifically and only is a more hype bet from a spectator perspective, if I can chime in

Correct. Same goes for games, though there are some exceptions.

I don't think we'll get a character reveal at Mexico, if we do get a reveal at NYCC that would make 3 reveals in the span of a week, no way.
I hope it's a Mexico stage or something.

Has there been a show where they haven't had some sort of new information, even if not a character reveal?
Also, there are a crazy amount of shows nowadays. Ono's doing a ton of traveling. How does he get any work done?
Oh yeah I forgot the Brazil show is next.

After trying Alex in 3rd strike I'm kind of feeling him. Granted it was against the cpu but a grappler with charge moves is fun. Really hope he makes it in the initial roster

Necalli stage

Perhaps we will get single player content info from mexico, there hasn't been any information about that at all. I doubt it is another character reveal and i would imagine that esport or online events-modes reveals would probably happen in a major tournament.
edit: or maybe we get nothing, doesn't he usually say prepare for announcement or something like that to create hype?

I love hybrid grapplers, one of the reasons why so many of the KOF grapplers are so fun. Was nice Capcom embraced them for once in SF3 and a bit in alpha.

That's supposed to be in Venezuela, no?
Aztec? No

We don't know if that's Necalli's stage. Only thing we know about that stage is that it's related to the Illuminati and that it was inspired by New Zealand. Also that it could potentially be in the same place as that Alpha stage.
This would be the only adjustment I'd be fine with. Only 3 possible scenarios: both my guys are in (I win), both his guys are in (I lose), anything else (wash).
Stone Ocean

Oh yeah, that was right after the Necalli reveal and all we had was some Gamerbee exhibition matches or something, right?
Considering what Capcom has done with some Brazil stages I wouldn't be surprised.
No, Japan, we do not have Tiki towers in the middle of our jungles.
He said a stage reveal, I'm just saying if they were to reveal a stage in Mexico it would be his. I don't think they're going to show anything at this Mexico event and the New Zealand is probably his anyway, as I always bring up.

Yeah plus I love his design. I think he would look good in V
And Ono please give us a date for the next beta
The thing I disagree with most here is that everyone seems to think there will be a deluge of characters being added through DLC and that every char whose ever been in SF before will eventually show up. I think we'll get 4-ish per year at most, and 1-2 of those will be new.
Roster bloat hurts these games as it forces you to learn more match ups and character skill overlaps mean some inevitably become obsolete. A game with 50 characters is a lot more daunting to a new player than a game with 20.
There will probably be stage DLC, costume DLC, maybe other things that haven't been talked about like guides, challenges or player-specific cosmetic effects. I don't think (nor hope) thy start shoving every fan favorite character in the game over the first two years.

5-ish characters a year is a good number, that's basically a revision worth of characters.

This is just because their familiar with the system right? I mean, I hope Focus attack/Parry won't be missed, because this back n forth, especially the shoto matches look incredibly fluid. I haven't seen this yet in SFV.
