Support NeoGAF

Ono's statement was very neutral, imo. Some people are just hearing what they want to hear. Ono had also said he wanted Mika back during SFIV. Look how long that took.

I'm sure they'll include him eventually as more people continue to request him, but Ono's words didn't make me think he was already on the drawing board for first-round DLC entrants.

 

[Neoxon]

The dream is dead.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I look forward to the Dhalsim vs Necro match in the future.

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

Yeah least hype reveal. Even less than gief.

Now you're just talking nonsense.

Nah Dhalsim would crush me man

Don't misunderstand me, Dhalsim's reveal is going to suck. But, "less hype than Gief"? I don't think so.

 

[Scotia]

Now you're just talking nonsense.

Nah Dhalsim would crush me man

 

[Scrub Mcgrubb]

Bro I am sad.... The Guile dream is now 100% dead....

Nah... Zen revealed at the show in India... redesigned Guile before grand finals of Capcom Cup.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Bro I am sad.... The Guile dream is now 100% dead....

DLC with charlie in the roster Guile is integral for the story. I have feeling capcom attaching characters by seasons due to story reasons. Season one dlc Alex, guile, Urien and akuma.

 

[Moaradin]

Dhalsim would bring more to the table than Alex

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

I don't even get being that upset at not getting a character in the launch roster. I understand being a bit disappointed but unless the character you want is fucking Area or some shit, then I wouldn't be upset. You know that your character is probably gonna be DLC at some point. Like Guile for example. No way in hell he isn't DLC at some point if he isn't in.

Yeah, I read that as he's a lock for SF6

 

[yurinka]

anyone got a screenshot of the new 16 roster pic

Nope, but there were 3 free spots, being one of them for Laura.

There were 3 clear groups:
-8 SSFII characters returning from USFIV in the left side, with a free spot.
-4 new characters with 2 free spots (being one of them for Laura, they announced here after that).
-4 characters returning from SFA3.

So after Laura we have a brand new character and a returning one. This returning one seems isn't returning from SFA3. Seems from the 'classics' group, which I assume it's from a numbered SF (Alex or Urien) or from SSFII/USFIV (Guile, Sagat, Dhalsim).

 

[Westlo]

His Vtrigger is weird man. The fact that the kick causes knock down on hit is really lame.

I usually play Ken and/or Cammy whenever I can.... but I wasn't feeling Cammy in beta 1 and I don't like some of the things they're doing with him here. His V Skill seems weak as fuck considering how unsafe it is for 90% of the things you can cancel into it from. Step kick being attached to it sucks after SFIV (though it sucked in 3S and ken was awesome), and it looks like his v trigger bar is going to rely on hitting crush counters and getting damaged since step kick is unsafe.....

Also not liking mp, hp chain combo knocking down and his kick chain combo still seems useless...

It's okay though, Capcom are going to get Violent Ken in as DLC thanks to that play magazine poll. Maybe Violent Ken will fix Ken's faults.

 

[zedreamcast]

Now you're just talking nonsense.



Don't misunderstand me, Dhalsim's reveal is going to suck. But, "less hype than Gief"? I don't think so.

People at least like Geif, i dont think anyone cares about Dhalsim
At least geif has personality other than yelling YOGA

 

[SolarPowered]

We had to be punished for famitsu and SCEA leaks lol can't believe Ono made such a long trip for nothing.

I doubt Brazilians were disappointed.

I think after today this thread will go down in traffic significantly. Today's panel killed all the hype and kind of confirmed sim. So now everyone know the final roster.

That Sim reveal gonna be so sad.

These are lean times for hype. It'll be okay though. Fightcade 3S, Steam AH3, Skullgirls PC and CPEX PC will keep me busy until Capcom adds more characters to SFV. You guys just gotta find something to keep you distracted.

Thread gonna be dead tho

 

[Master Thespian]

Sagat, Guile, Alex, Urien and a lot more are more popular than Dhalsim even if we had to suffer him in a ton of games according to the characters poll:
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2013/mar/29/results-capcoms-street-fighter-favorite-characters-popularity-poll/

I'm not sure what a poll has to do with how classic a character is. Sim is as classic as classic gets outside of Ken and Ryu.

Let's hope they skip Dhalsim until they released like 16 DLC characters in addition to the initial 16 ones.

Nah. I like diverse playstyles and Dhalsim brings more to the table than all of those guys, bud.

I don't think Zen being Indian necessarily rules out Dhalsim making it in. Birdie and Cammy are British and got revealed at the same time. USA has Ken and Nash. Japan has Ryu, Karin, and Mika.

 

[Mr Touchdown]

Deejay

[Troubled Bat]

The surprise when Zen ends up being female.

I would actually take Dee Jay over sim.

 

[Westlo]

They better reveal Zen last if it's Sim. And hopefully Zen is as hype as Necalli's trailer was. Than story mode, Urien and Akuma DLC trailers plus alt costumes to round out the hype for Jan/Feb.

 

[Scrub Mcgrubb]

Soooo moving on past NYCC- there's a Street Fighter V exhibition on CapcomFighters at 6pm Pacific time. I would strongly suspect we'll get to see Snake Eyez debut his SFV Zangief...

 

[ThirtyPlus]

Let's hope they skip Dhalsim until they released like 16 DLC characters in addition to the initial 16 ones.

Why would they sell Sim as DLC? They want you to be tempted to actually buy it.

 

[bangbang i'm a timpani]

yea i keep going back and forth on it. it looks like the step kick comes out a bit faster now. however, with zoning being sf3 levels of basically footsie buttons.....gap closers aren't going to be as important in this game.

 

[Westlo]

Yeah i agree Ken doesn't need step kick to be good, but if it's our source of getting Vtrigger meter and it sucks.... well that hurts Ken.

Why would they sell Sim as DLC? They want you to be tempted to actually buy it.

Top tier sim would fly off the shelves. If they want a lesser liked character, a niche character of a new character to get unlocked/bought by a lot of people they'll just make them strong.

 

[m_shortpants]

Ok, I mean I doubt either Zen nor Necalli will be the new boss...sooooo secret 17th character?

Day 1 DLC character Urien?

 

[zedreamcast]

So did the stream end?

 

[Lulubop]

Sim at IGX, Zen at Paris or PSX. Mark that down

 

[yurinka]

I would actually take Dee Jay over sim.

Me too

 

[zedreamcast]

I would actually take Dee Jay over sim.

Dee Jay has ORAORAs so id be way more happy to see him.

 

[TheOGB]

That Sim reveal gonna be so sad.

They'll just gonna casually drop him in with the Zen reveal because there's no way he's gonna get hype on his own lol

Spoiler

let me just say now I'd love to be proven wrong and see genuine excitement for Dhalsim

 

[Scotia]

I would actually take Dee Jay over sim.

So would I

 

[SimSimIV]

So much salt about potential Sim inclusion. We are quite a few who play Sim, and even more who enjoy seeing his gameplay, and EVEN more those who can see he brings something to the game that is missing.

That + the fact that they are heavily redesigning characters should make people be a little more open minded about him. But I guess some will just hate on him regardless
YOGA!

 

[Scotia]

If Sim gets revealed more people are going to be hype about the fact they were right more than the fact it's Dhalsim.

 

[ShinMaruku]

Sim like DJ is ass so they should never put them in without significant redesigns. Nobody got that so they are assed out.

It will be a long waiting for a trailer but look at bright side, beta is coming so soon.

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. The only SF2 character that got a heavy redesign was Ken. Hell, Ryu, Chun, Cammy, and Gief didn't get changed at all. Why would Sim be different?

If Sim gets revealed more people are going to be hype about the fact they were right more than the fact it's Dhalsim.

This is true.

 

[Gunslinger]

Yo they need to unbam ma man beezlebufo. He deserves all the gloating....ma man held onto his opinion of sim and gief even under tremendous criticism. Unban that man. We owe him an apology.

 

[Mik317]

Dudes will be copping please when they see Gear 2nd Sim.

The guy was a cunt and should stay banned. He gave shit to so many people for no reason. Right or not his ass should stay banned.

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

Pretty sure he got banned because of his attitude, not because of his predictions. Also: no, being right about a video game's roster doesn't entitle you to act like an asshole.

Gief didn't get changed at all? And Birdie? Vega?

In terms of character design they wont change sim, maybe playstyle but not design.

Also your username makes me not trust your opinion.

 

[crap monkey]

Ok, I mean I doubt either Zen nor Necalli will be the new boss...sooooo secret 17th character?

Day 1 DLC character Urien?

What do you know about Zen that would make you say that? We know literally nothing about the character other than that he's brand new to SF.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Yo they need to unbam ma man beezlebufo. He deserves all the gloating....ma man held onto his opinion of sim and gief even under tremendous criticism. Unban that man. We owe him an apology.

who the hell is that and why should anyone care

 

[Hours Left]

Booooooooooooooooooo. What a letdown.

My hype has been rapidly eroding these past few weeks. And the fact that they didn't even give us any new info on anything is really dissapointing. :/

 

[zedreamcast]

Yo they need to unbam ma man beezlebufo. He deserves all the gloating....ma man held onto his opinion of sim and gief even under tremendous criticism. Unban that man. We owe him an apology.

He didnt predict shit, he was being an obvious troll.

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

Gief didn't get changed at all? And Birdie? Vega?

I was referring to SF2 characters in my post. Birdie got a redesign because almost nobody cared about him in the first place, Vega got a shirt, and Gief looks the exact same. I was talking about physical appearance. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

But even in terms of gameplay, I wouldn't say the SF2 cast has gotten "heavy" redesigns.

 

[Scrub Mcgrubb]

What do you know about Zen that would make you say that? We know literally nothing about the character other than that he's brand new to SF.

Thanks to the source that leaked his name, we also know he's from India and not the boss

 

[Wonderboy91]

Remeber when R.Mika and Karin got revealed? Those were fun times.

 

[SimSimIV]

In terms of character design they wont change sim, maybe playstyle but not design.

Also your username makes me not trust your opinion.

Oh to clarify, I am taking about redesign of gameplay first of all.. I don't really care about redesign of looks

Oh I am very biased as a Sim player, but that doesn't make my logic biased.

I know I was just joking. And kind of sad because of that lackluster capcom panel....
