Get some janky ass camera footage if he's playable.I agree that there's a good chance Alex will be revealed at NYCC. It's too bad that I don't really care for him. I'll probably be attending.

If I can make whatever conference they're holding, I'll try. It'll get uploaded way later than everything else though, I'm sure.
Me too.I really hope they do the Yun/Yang thing letting you play as Nadeshiko instead of Mika.
I'd rather they put Yun and Yang in instead.I really hope they do the Yun/Yang thing letting you play as Nadeshiko instead of Mika.

EH did a post on this- Birdie's background is actually the London stage, its the far right hand portion of it, its just rarely visible on screen.I think a USA/New York stage is pretty likely if we agree that the character art shows different sides/elements of stages that will be in the game. I speculated about the how and why's of this "shared stage theory" quite a few pages ago but since nobody seemed to have picked up on it then, I'll post it again.
My "shared stage theory", in short, is that all stages will be shared by 2 characters (or more later) and that they will fit both (at least on one side of them). I come to this speculative conclusion based on the official character art and what is shown in the background of them. Ryu and Karin's art, for instance, both show different parts of the Japan stage, as we now can see (Ryu = left side, Karin = right side). Vega and Cammy's art show the London stage. Bison and Necalli might show the same unrevealed stage based on the temple visible in both of their art (hidden, in Bison's case). Alex is likely to inhabit the New York stage shown in Ken's art. Etc etc.
In other words: I deem it highly likely that all the character art shows (A) which stages we can expect and (B) who will (eventually) be in the game to share them.
Here's my list of stage elements/parts (as grouped by characters that might fit a stage and by what is found in shown stages so far) again to help us speculate which stages we can expect and who goes into them:
Possible proof 1 of shared stage theory
- Cammy -> shows clock at a train station -> is found in the middle/right side of the London stage.
- Vega -> shows some glass windows, a half-round one in particular -> this seems to be the roof + left side of the London stage.
Possible proof 2 of shared stage theory
- Ryu -> shows an old Japanese temple with statue, Mt. Fuji and the moon -> all are present on the left side of the new Japan stage.
- Karin -> shows Japanese style bridge with moon and a building - all are present on the left side of the new Japan stage as well.
- Ibuki (due to the ninja on the left)?
Possible proof 3 of shared stage theory
- Bison -> shows a Bison statue, a honeycomb-like structure and what appears to be an Asian temple of sorts in front of the moon -> not found in any stage so far but I have a feeling it will connect to Necalli's stage due to the temple.
- Necalli -> shows a cliff side and an Asian looking (?) temple in the background -> not found in any stage yet but it could be linked to Bison's stage.
- Juri (assuming she will be hunting down Bison still)?
Incomplete pairings that might come to fruition (if we include likely DLC characters)
- Ken -> shows a street lined with New York-ish/Colonial style (?) office buildings and cars -> not seen in any stage yet.
- Alex?
- Chun-li -> shows a Chinese restaurant with columns and some neon signs -> is found on left side of the Bustling Side Street stage (China).
- Fei Long (going by the signs on the busses)?
- Yun/Yang?
- Nash -> shows those Egyptian looking Illuminati-ish statues -> they are found to the right of the Forgotten Waterfall stage in an inaccessible(?) section.
- Urien (Illuminati connection)?
- R. Mika -> shows wrestling ring with Japanese text -> not seen in any stage yet.
- Zangief/Alex?
- Birdie -> shows a tube station with a Colombian Roast logo -> not found on the London Stage despite the toilet on the left side being similar to Birdie's Alpha stage and him being English; maybe it will be featured in a new stage?
- Oro/Sean?
- Rashid -> shows a desert and Dubai-like city -> not found in any stage yet unfortunately.
- Urien (going by his 2nd impact stage)?
- Laura -> no art yet -> assumedly connected to Brazil stage with the tram, favellas and soccer statue on the mountain.
- Blanka/Sean?
- Zen -> no art yet -> perhaps connected to a new India stage?
- Dhalsim?
Anyone willing to go along with this?
Fake edit: if anyone is able to add the character art I speak of, which I can't do on my device, that would be great. That way we can investigate them even more closely with this shared stage theory in mind to see who might go where.

Oh snap, Mexico, get hype!Inside info:
-There will be another character reveal before Brazil (So before October 10th)
-There will be around 10 characters in then 2nd Beta (So maybe Rashid, maybe not)

2 newbies in a row would be really odd- this is likely one of the last two vets coming up.so if Laura is Brazil, and Alex is NYCC, that means either Zen or Urien will be announced next
I was really hoping Karin and Rashid would be in. It's going to be very dull playing the Beta without them.

Yea I wanted to try more Rashid too, but here is to hoping!
There is no way they will reveal Alex or urien on a random Tuesday.
Ono's Mexico visit is next weekend. Why are people assuming it'll be a tuesday?
Because Raul Julia's M. Bison.
Also they sometimes reveal the character prior to the event. I think Bison and Vega both got non-event announcements too.
Gamescom
My mistake. I actually didn't realize the event was then. Was it revealed prior to or during the event?
I bet since they're seriously trying to push the game in the Middle East, Mika and Cammy will both get some decently dressed alts. It's kinda hard to push your game in the region when it's banned there.
Uh is SFV banned "there?"
Pretty sure it's more than just GTA and GoW, though usually no one bother to enforce the ban which is why a lot of games get by unnoticed even when banned. According to wikipedia, the most recent one was The Order 1886 which was banned in UAE, Kuwait and KSA due to nudity(!!), but there's no mention of The Witcher 3 getting banned due to nudity!Why in the world would it be banned here?
No. Only games that ever got banned here are GTA and God of War.
Note that none of its sequels got banned!BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Banned likely due to suggestive and revealing outfits on some characters.
So either we are getting 3 reveals back to back or no character at NYCC? I wonder what else they have to show there if that's the case.Inside info:

Where is this info coming from?
Remind me, when is Beta 2? Mid October?

Wouldn't 10 characters mean Ken, Vega, Necali and R. Mika?

That'd be extremely disappointing because I want to play Karin.
I PRE-ORDERED YOUR DAMNED GAME, CAPCOM. I DEMAND KARIN!
Good thing they don't owe you anything.
Well if beta is reduced, there's going to be a lot of R Mikas.
¿Next week we will have new character?
I really hope not.
I know if i get in the beta and Mikas in it im gonna be playing nothing but MikaOh wow. Hope it's true that we'll have an expanded roster for the next beta period. Not just to try other characters, but that also means that it would be an updated build with some balance changes implemented.
...but you know it's gonna be Kens everywhere.

You underestimate Kens popularity and how disliked Mika is. For a lot of people its either Ryu or Ken they play.Nope, it's gonna be Mikas everywhere!
