Street Fighter V Roster Discussion |Thread 2| Deal with it & place your hope for DLC

Rose became my favorite. Really want her in V.
Maybe she can have her real face back.

I would be down with a slight redesign of her outfit though. Still prefer it to be a stylish and elegant dress of some sort with the same general colour pallate, but they could modernize it a bit IMO. (Though a sharp pant suit might be cool too, very mode/Italian.)
 
Who was he again? There's so many people in this thread that I can never remember them all.

Nononononono no pants, no touching stockings, no changing her Lisa Lisa design unless it's for another Lisa Lisa design. Did I say no touching the stockings already?

I want the dress to be #1, but she can't always just be a visual Lisa Lisa tribute all the time.

Street Fighter is changing. Ryu is a sex symbol now, Ken is part banana. We gotta roll with it.

(And anyone that gets a huge costume change will almost certainly have a classic alt anyway.)

Why is everyone's suggestion for a female fighter have to deal with pant suits. The most boring outfit choice for street fighter.
I mean a fashionable pant suit. Like an actual pinstripe deal or something similar. Not a Hilary Clinton number or another martial arts gi.

Rose is from Italy, the fashion capital of the world. It would make sense. (But again, I'm still #TeamDress, I'm just saying a sharp suit could be nice too.)

She's not just a visual tribute, she's basically Lisa Lisa herself with some redacted story bits lol

And going by Rose's SF4 costumes, I do not trust Capcom to redo her design into something good at all.

I get that, but she can and should be more. Tributes are great, but we're going in a cool direction here so I'd be interested to see how that applies to Rose.

Everyone got hit with the ugly stick at some point in SFIV. They're batting much higher currently in V so I have faith.
 
Story Wise does this game take place after SF4?

Also wouldn't Akuma be a safe bet?

what a tremendous gif
 
Do I really have to point out the irony here?

Hehe. Yeah, that's why I think it's better to not getting too invested in the roster (and character choices) I understand wanting your favorite characters in but getting too invested in Street Fighter roster is pretty insane because veterans are not guarantee to be back unless they are very iconic or popular characters (ex Ryu, Chun Li, Ken, Cammy, Bison, Zangief)

Heck, I wasn't even sure if Hakan is coming back or not. I know for sure that Juri and Akuma are coming back for sure due to their popularities.
 
so yeah it's metro city

i mean i guess it doesnt have to be but its not confirmed nyc yet i guess

not that a streetwise mayor having his own bank makes any fucking sense lol
 
oh yeah, necalli's P2 v-trigger hair is blue. looks pretty sick. even matt dahlgreen noted that he had never seen it before lol #rare #gill
 
It could always still be Alex :P
One would need to provide a high res video so we can get a much better look at the NPC.

Alex in Metro City doesn't make sense, really. The NPC in that stage feels like a troll attempt to try and throw us off.
 
Maybe Axl saw Alex and is trying to be more like him? Lol

Like I said two pages ago:

What if Alex was always meant (or is now re-written) to be a named member of the "Axl" family, just like Hugo is part of the "Andore" family? His name is sort of an anagram for Axl even, right?

He of course becomes more unique in his later III version, but I'm talking about his origin, which is how he might be shown here in V.
 
There's also the cheap looking Vanilla costume and that weird puffy dress with the stupid hairdo. Her only good alt is the Super dress with the hat. I expect the halloween costume to be just as bad.
.
That bird costume is by far the best, you can't really give her a good alt in SFIV if you're not hiding her face.

A family of Andre the Giant homages vs a family of Hulk Hogan homages sounds terrifying.

If it's not hiding the chin then it's pointless.

Someone give Rose Decapre's executioner alt mask already

I like the cut of your jib, kid
 
Off topic, but why does everyone hate Twelve. I try and push him as joke sometimes, but I don't really get the hate for him.

I mean aside from the clothes.

He's an orphan though... The reason why he's close to Tom is because Tom is essentially his adopted father. I'd sooner buy that Alex's whole story is him looking for his impersonator than that.

This is crazy talk.
FF's Axl is named after the band Guns n' Roses
http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Axl_and_Slash

Axl was designed after the stereotypical western thug as seen by a Japanese developer.
They have nothing in common.
Capcom have at least 2, 2 characters with the name Axl.

He has nothing in common with Alex. At least until Capcom say so, but even as speculation it's ridiculous with the way you put it, no offense @_@

There's no way that isn't Alex. The red facepaint and strands of hair are practically his trademarks.

Yeah but the under-the-bandanna strands are lame. Same with the seemingly short back hair.

He needs his long hair to flow ridiculously in this engine.

e: maybe under the more controlled bangs are to differentiate him from new Ken.

You mean what makes her Lisa Lisa storywise? Mysterious italian master of a secret martial art that tries to keep it from reaching the wrong hands who also uses her scarf to channel said powers. Sure it's not exactly the same but you can make a lot of parallels to Battle Tendency - Bison / Straights, Psycho Power / Red Stone of Asia, etc. It's way more than you can say about any of the other Jojo references in SF. Capcom even had some official art showing Rose walking on water with ripple effects under her back in the day.

Twelve is hated because he's a big pile of nothing. Also his fighting stance bothers me so much for some reason, it looks so stupid.

If he wasn't meant to be the protag I can buy that.

He's a freak character, that's never a positive for most people. His design also comes off as plain on its own and he lacks much character.
