This guy just went off Ken's leak and also the popularity polls mostly.
Best character in the game so far.
Yeah I'm fairly confident he's DLC. I expect a pre-Ken training look for him.

Will he finally have electricity or just be impotent besides the Hadou-Burst
My guess would be Alex and Urien will be in the Collector's Edition as DLC codes. That would really make me consider getting CE of SFV.
This would straight up piss me off.
It'd probably be like Jill & Shuma to where they're available the month after launch.
Which is totally cool. No doubt people are gonna play the hell out of the game when it launches and will be sitting on stacks of fight money to spend on DLC characters. But including day one DLC exclusively with collector's editions? That's some bull.

Shit you're right. SF3's story was never really explained coherently tbh. Forgot what I said about Ken then.

Ken's a dick
Now I'm rooting for Laura to just kick his ass at every opportunity

Except that Siliconera has been pretty on point with leaks before anything involving Street Fighter 5. The entire point is that they HAVE earned credibility, and Alex and Urien being very early DLC characters would be perfectly in line with their leak. It could very well be that their information is wrong, but them not being in the exact starting 16 isn't a death knell to their credibility.
Didn't realize that. Reading that Sean has a lot more guts than I realized. Kind of screwed up he bad mouths Dan so much, especially when he's a jobber too. He's persistent and dedicated though.
I'm putting stock into Siliconera sources because they are one of the few journalististic websites that we have that put themselves out there with this info. The Alex/Urien and R.Mika/Karin articles all came around E3, a time where Capcom was likely finalizing their plans for what the intinal roster and early DLC plans are.
But If they are wrong, then they are wrong and they will suffer the price in reputation and in their integrity.

And still nothing on gief lolOne of my friends at NYCC got a picture of Laura's moveset list.

I'm not discrediting their credibility as a whole, just about this specific bit. I don't doubt that they got info from someone, just that said info was actually accurate.
We have no reason to shun them, but we have no reason to think that their SF info is good either.
Both Mika/Karin and Urien/Alex leaks happened almost at the same time (a couple of hours of difference), and back then people were believing way more in the 3S leak, so I still trust this leak. They'll be early DLC, not sure if day one tho, but early
Agreed.
If they could limit themselves to six Street Fighter 2 characters in any initial roster from this point on that would be a nice compromise.
It's funny because he's right there to the left I can the "F" in Zangief over there
This. I get the appeal of familiarity, but you gotta have some fresh faces (both newcomers & characters we haven't seen in a while, mostly the former). Having just 6 World Warriors would allow for some of that familiarity to aid the game's appeal, but also for more variety to get their time in the sun.

Lol dang
Lol I know some were disappointed in his reveal but man it seems like he's being ignoredGrimløck;181155800 said:
That would indeed be perfect
A lot of other "sources" were more than half right and put out more info than Siliconera did.
It wouldn't be completely in line with thier leak, they said they would be included and playable and they claimed they had a source that confirmed it. If they are DLC then they are wrong.
However, I will throw out the possibility that Capcom might have changed plans.
Unless Cacpcom put out false info the leak is wrong. There is no way what they said is completely accurate otherwise.

But you can say that about every leak ever before the actual information comes out. Of course you don't know if something is true until it is true. All I'm saying is that given Siliconera's previous successes, it is reasonable for people to suggest that the leak could still be accurate with Alex and Urien being DLC, even if they aren't on the starting roster.
This isn't even a remotely valid argument. Your random ruleset means nothing in the face of whether or not the information they were given was accurate. The entire game of SFV is being built around a steady stream of DLC characters, the starting roster doesn't mean much at all. A DLC character is still a playable character in Street Fighter 5.
thank you bud

I just find that way too convenient. Leaks are only leaks if they are accurate, when Siliconera leaked FF7 they were very clear that not only would the game be announced but it would be shown at e3. It's not reasonable, it's blind faith. If they were claiming Alex and Urien to be DLC they would have said so because fighting game rosters are finalized way before the characters are actually done so if Alex and Urien were DLC whoever got them the info would have known.
When I see you guys putting words on Siliconera's mouth - err fingers - to justify their info this is what I see:
Nobody likes Sean. Specially not Ken, who would just straight up give him his tournament trophy for the kid to go away.

But that argument requires Siliconera to have more information than they may have had, more information than the leakers had. You setting up rules that for the leak to be accurate it HAS to be the starting roster and not DLC doesn't actually mean anything. It is arbitrary.
The only thing that actually matters is that someone really got true information about the game and passed it along to Siliconera or not. If for example Alex is announced as the first DLC character and Urien is the unplayable boss of the game who is going to be eventual DLC, it would be completely unreasonable to say the Siliconera leak was false just because they weren't in the starting roster.
For the record, I actually don't care about either of the characters being in the game, I especially don't expect Alex to be the last old character in the starting roster, and I don't care about the Siliconera leak panning out or not. I'm just saying that the argument of "if they aren't in the starting roster the leak was wrong" is simply nonsense.
They said they were included in the game, since when do people consider DLC to be included?
Even if they were given accurate info they relayed it in an inaccurate way.

This is what Siliconera had to say about Alex and Urien:
Sure it would be unreasonable to say the Siliconera leak was wrong if they eventually make it in the game, but at this moment you guys have zero reason other than wishful thinking to twist their words just to fit your hopes.
"Look out for the two to be announced at some point in the future". That does not imply DLC at all.

That implies they will be announced "at some point". "Some point" may very well be after the game's release

"Someday" isn't info. Akuma will be announced at some point for SF5 too.
It's vague. It might end up being true but right now it means nothing.

It implies either launch or DLC.

Tizoc

It can imply them as being DLC, based on-
1- The game has 16 characters for its initial roster
2- If they're not among the initial roster, they'd be DLC
3- They can be announced for being DLC in coming weeks and months

I wish the ESRB would hurry up and rate SFV, they were quite good at leaking a lot of Street Fighter x Tekken's DLC.
robotzombie

You are right, it doesn't imply anything at all. It is one of the most vague sentences they could have possibly written. It also does absolutely nothing to exclude them being DLC. Is your argument that DLC characters aren't going to be announced?
And that isn't even my point, my point is that they may not have even known anything about them being DLC or not. The leaker might not have either. They might have just found out that those characters were being worked on as playable characters. Do you honestly believe that Capcom is literally only working on 16 characters at the moment? And once they are done and have released the game they are then going to start getting to work on new characters?
No, they didn't say that, they said that they will be playable characters. DLC characters are playable characters.
Again, and for the final time: I'm not arguing that their leak is correct, I'm only saying you people making the "if they are DLC then the leak was wrong" argument are simply not making sense

I see the liberal mention of Laura as his sister... was this put out officially somewhere? Or is it guesswork (likely or not) because of the last name?
But don't we have 7 WW already? [Ken, Ryu, Chun, Claw, Dictator, Cammy, Gief]
Or was this just wishful thinking by you?
That's what I was going to say.
The missing Gief info is because "Gief. Who cares." :lol
Stone Ocean

It can imply anything. Hell it could even imply they were planned for the roster but scrapped like some Vanilla SF4 characters. They might be DLC, they might never make into the roster, I don't fucking know, but until Siliconera rectifies their info it means nothing and even if Alex/Urien make it into the game eventually that won't immediatly confirm Siliconera was right all along.
