Some people are saying Alex and Urien are DLC, based on what? That Siliconera didnt say they were initial roster? They didnt say Karin or R Mika were either. So that's poor logic. Also they leaked Alex and Urien first.

Earlier today, Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono hinted that a Brazilian character would be revealed soon for Street Fighter V. This could be Blanka, Sean, or a new character entirely, but we’ve got a different piece of news to share.



Sources have confirmed to Siliconera that Alex and Urien from Street Fighter III will be playable characters in Street Fighter V as well. Look out for the two to be announced at some point in the future.



Street Fighter V is in development for PC and PlayStation 4.



Update: Siliconera asked a Capcom spokesperson to confirm our report and we received a reply saying, “Capcom does not comment on rumors or speculation.”

Earlier, Siliconera reported that Alex and Urien from Street Fighter III would be part of the playable roster in Street Fighter V. Now, we can confirm two more characters: Karin Kanzuki and R. Mika from the Alpha series.



Karin made her first appearance in a Street Fighter spin-off manga starring Sakura. She made her playable debut in Street Fighter Alpha 3, and was then included in Capcom Fighting Evolution as well.



Meanwhile, R. Mika, too, made her first appearance in Street Fighter Alpha 3. She hasn’t been featured in any of Capcom’s fighters following that game.



Look out for Karin and Mika to be revealed for Street Fighter V at some point in the future.



Update: Siliconera asked a Capcom spokesperson to confirm this report too and we received the same reply saying, “Capcom does not comment on rumors or speculation.”

Gen could work since V-Skill as stance swap simplifies him a lot.

That would be so boring so I hope not. But since they made Spin Knuckle Cammy's V-skill they'll probably go that route. V-trigger would probably be a mixed stance like when using X-ism in Alpha 3.

I'd like to be able to unlock Gouki and Dan in the base game as secret elements, old school style. Won't happen, I know.

Well, if they ever decide to bring them you'll still have to play the game to unlock them, lol.
 
They should make Dan a sort of Mr Karate: totally broken and awesome.

I have the feeling the first character pack will be a Final Fight one with Cody, Guy and one or two other mistery people. It would be dope if it was those two and then Haggar + Sodom. Sodom was soooooooooooo cool, we need more Sodom in our lifes.

Why do you think there will be 'packs'?
 
I like the diversity of the roster but none of the characters "sing to me".

I dropped Ken and learned Juri. Picked up Chun Li as a sub. I don't really like Chun although she most likely will be the one I'll be using as main. Maybe either Cammy, Rashid or Karin as sub.
 
Why do you think there will be 'packs'?

Why not? It's how they managed SSFIV, after all. The difference now would be that you wouldn't have to pay real money to purchase the characters if you don't want to.

We have to see the prices and method of distribution yet, thou, the pack thing is just wishful thinking.
 
I know this is all little OT, but I really dislike UDON comics. The Ryu vs. Cody fight was so bad I had to stop reading.

They have great art, but their stories tend to leave much to be desired I agree.

Speaking of which, the Charlie Nash comic seems to have been released online?
Cuz to one's surprise, MORE BLONDES!
Comic ends with a certain blue and red character in the last page :V

Also if Nash's alt. isn't Victor from Darkstalkers I'll be disappointed, Capcpom

Plans could have changed since that leak, I'm sure several DLC characters are being worked on in parallel with the starting 16 and that leak happened a long time ago.
 
Don't say that. Last time I said that I got attacked.
He's speaking purely hypothetically, we all know there's no NYC stage.

Because there's no room for them on the roster as it is now, so they'd probably be DLC if they're there. Basically this:
none of that matters because of colors and statements about classic characters
 
I will have access to the Rashid build today and tomorrow, does anyone know if there are any major changes from this build and the Karin one?
 
I have no idea, sorry, but I just wanted to say out loud that I envy you greatly. Have fun ;)

As you should!! Haha, and as I have whenever it has been others' turn;)

If I find interesting stuff that I am not going to save for EVO (Kappa), I might share it on GAF.
 
When did they lie? Link?
I phrased that poorly, I meant Capcom lied about other rosters, not this one specifically. We had this discussion here before, gotta find it, but basically off the top of my head Yatterman 2 in TvC and the whole "only a few people have guessed the character right" comments when everyone and their mother was talking about the possibility of Decapre being the new USF4 character.

Naturally I'm not saying trust X or Y 100%, just take everything with a grain of salt aside from the Ken Bogard stuff for now.
 
When did they lie? Link?
And I highly doubt that they'd swap characters because of leaks. Otherwise they would have swapped out Rainbow Mika & Karin. As for the whole Sentinel thing, I recall that being a case of mistranslating what Niitsuma said at the time.

IIRC, translators said that the Darkstalkers comment was ambiguous, like "We don't plan on adding any more Darkstalkers than we already have", which wouldn't be a lie. The first comment is just his personal experience, not a lie.

Many random online leak lists had Alex and Urien before Siliconera.

The first one from Ono was more a joke though. You have to consider the tone of the interview, which doesn't really translate to literal text, when it appears like he's being silly/sarcastic.

For Niitsuma, well may have been trying to mislead, but he doesn't do PR on SF.

I have no reason to think anything Dahlgren has said is an intentional misdirection.

Only Ken Bogard and Siliconera guessed 100% all they leaked from what we know until now. The other 'leaks' have been already proved to be bullshit since they didn't include characters now announced, and included in their list characters that as of now aren't in the game.

I'm 99.9999% sure that Alex, Urien, Zen and Laura will complete the 16 characters initial roster unless -something very unlikely- Capcom decides to swap some of them with other DLC character in last minute due to big balancing issues or something like that (not related to the leaks).

We don't have anything else credible pointing to other characters.
 
"Many random online leak lists had Alex and Urien before Siliconera."

As did Karin and R.Mika.

I mean it can always go in any direction but I just can't see how it can be so easy to discredit Siliconera in this scenario when half of what they leaked - a half that six months ago a lot of people found extremely improbable- is now confirmed. Also there track record isn't bad either.

We also may be taking PR/Dahlgren's definition of Classic to literally.

And if Combofiend's poker face was dead-on when asked about Alex & Urien, you know something's up.

Funny that you say that, Capcom backed off from the term "classic" after that interview, instead going for descriptions like "characters you'd expect in a Street Fighter game".

How many of them have had as many things right and nothing wrong?

The reason why the leak from Siliconera is believed is because they've been consistently right about this with the predictions as well as some other recent leaks.

Same thing with Bogard. Capcom has given us misleading info before, I have questioned when people accused them of lying in the past but the fact of the matter is they've fed us misinformation.

In this particular case who counts as a classic character is wildly subjective so they may still be misleading us even if it's not thier intention.
 
Because Combofiend had a poker face when asked about SF5 characters, that means something's up?

When speculation goes wrong.
It's more on the way people in charge react than anything else. Little details in their facial expression could give a completely different answer than one's words. Clearly Combofiend put on his best poker face to prevent that.

Yeah, it's super good. I got the SDCC hardcover version at evo with a sketch from Long Vo. :D

It is ridiculous, the poker face speculation I mean
 
Oh man. 11 members got banned when I was gone. RIP to those fallen smash gaffers and street fighter gaffers.

RIP Troubled Bat, Scotia, Village, Skab, Padwarrior, TheSpoiler, and many more.
I was reading the previous posts from after I went to bed when I noticed all of the bans. Unfortunate.

Back on-topic, do you guys think that we'll get a reveal over at the Mexican gaming event?

It's unfortunate we lost people. If it's for what I think it's for I can't say I disagree with it but hopefully they aren't permabans.

On topic I think we'll at least get a stage reveal, hopefully a character.

We might get a feature reveal or something at best.

That wouldn't be bad actually. In retrospect I'm surprised they let the stat feature out of the bag with Karin.
