Fixed that for you =(

I still want another odd ball move from Ono, just so we are all wrong.

Also, the timing of the announcements seems a little too fast. Maybe they will start talking DLC characters faster than I thought.

I only said "sans SFI" on account of Birdie being counted as an Alpha character. As for a potential curve ball, Ono's awesome & all, but he's no Sakurai.

I'm curious if this thread will just combust if they reveal another SFII character.

Me, I'd be a bit disappointed. I think only 4 or so of us would get enjoyment out of it, but only if it's Zangief &/or Dhalsim since it pertains to the bet. SFII character reveals this late in the game are golf clap-tier, not lose my shit-tier.

You know, almost everyone said this. It's really irritating when you think you "called it". It's like "calling" a presidential election during the generals - big whup.

I'm saying that I clearly remember mentioning the possibility when everyone was jumping to the SFII section conclusion.

This entire thread will be nuked from orbit if Blanka is revealed. FightingGAF will cease to exist.

And somewhere, there will be a guy going like this.

Yup. It's debatable whether he's low-mid or high-low (and mostly because he his match ups with the high and top tiers aren't that bad; like, he actually goes 6:4 vs Urien, IIRC), but it's clear he's not very good.
Click to expand...
A lot of his matchups are uphill battles, but the way the character works he can win clean vs almost anyone if played well. I would say the major exceptions are Chun, Ken, Mak and Oro. Also, Urien is a very balanced character in general. His best matchups are probably around 6:4, sans Twelve and Sean who aren't for real.
 
Are people seriously taking that as confirmation? "Classic characters" doesn't mean anything, you still don't expect to see them.

It really means that it's likely we'll see them as DLC because Capcom holds them in high regard.
 
Beelzebufo said:
Yeah, but that goalpost was moved weeks ago by some other guy. That second sentence was also weird considering you refused to accept that DLC is a good idea for this game the other day 😨

That is not what Ferrio said. It's obvious to everyone here but you that the Siliconera leak was accurate. Use some common sense for a moment here: how realistically likely is it that they'd have found out about Urien and Alex and leaked their inclusion if they were DLC characters?

Despite all the speculation and reading too far into cryptic hints from Capcom reps, we've had the list from the start with the info from Ken Bogard and the Siliconera leak. Ken obviously knew about the names of the newcomers, and Siliconera obviously had a source for their info on Mika/Karin/Alex/Urien.

What's your source for thinking Alex/Urien won't be in the initial roster? Baseless assumption doesn't count as a source by the way.

Can't wait for that Zangief reveal now!

The question is, when he's revealed does it make the thread title accurate or not?

Bro, he went on a two page rant about how there would be tons of backlash if there were DLC characters revealed before launch, because even free DLC characters cost time (???).

And uh, do you really think they don't have the DLC characters planned out? We got the Predator leak for MKX before the game even released.

He's 5:5 against Ken (and Ryu), actually. Chun, Mak, and Oro wreck him, bad, though. But in his defense, Chun wrecks everyone.

The whole point of my posting yesterday was to say that these DLC scenarios that you're coming up with to try and discount the leak would be totally illogical and out of line of what we've seen from Capcom regarding SFV so far.

You're coming up with a bunch of random narratives to try and make it work, when the simple answer is Urien and Alex are day 1 initial roster characters.

This guy gets it. And why would Siliconera list Alex & Urien first if they were DLC. And again, Siliconera would have specified if they were DLC (Siliconera has quite the reputation that they don't want sullied)

Beelzebufo said:
Just like the big one is clearly SF2?

The difference there is that there's a reliable leak that would state otherwise. Just like how the same leak made it clear that Birdie & Charlie were in the Alpha section.

Right, and everyone told you how you didn't manage to do that. Unless you're just saying that there haven't been DLC characters revealed yet, which is true.
 
I really dont get this "Numbered" SF BS. 0 is a fkin number , Capcom have been known to label all their prequels as 0. Or even Japan in general. Yakuza 0,RE 0..etc.

SF 0,Alpha is canon and part of the mainline franchise. Its not like EX, or that movie game.

We need some arbitrary justification for how Alex could be on the roster
 
Even if Alex and Urien make it in , maybe the top row is SF3 or something . Just like how SSF4 had some weird way of sorting characters. It doesnt need to be a perfect symmetrical shape.

Yeah, because "a source that has proven themselves reliable numerous times in the past & have already gotten the characters they reported on last correct" is totally an arbitrary reason.

Pretty much, I never got the "Mainline" thing. Alpha is a Mainline and numbered. The Blue is just Alpha characters. Green is SF2, and you could belee dat.

Unless Capcom reveals a new image with 2 slots in a new color, and they're like got em.
