Okay, that I can understand (although I disagree). But saying they're limiting gameplay is stretching the argument too much, I think.

Doesn't the UDON comic get invalidated every time a new SF comes out?
Basically fanfiction

This is the problem with releasing 2 characters back to back: You got nothing to hype people up for the remainder of the month :V
Not necessarily, they did state in their SF4 comic that Gen died during it.
As is the Nash comic is merely a tie-in to the game, so Gill or Urien are likely to be in among future DLC characters.

Everything about him is different. Air SPDs will be huge if you can set them up. All the armored moves need you to know the game well, but should be good. Lariat looks better now and his V-Trigger looks like a decent special move/power-up hybrid. I think he could be really good.

Oh I don't dispute the changes nor that he has the potential to be a strong character. I'm just stating that his play looks more straightforward than the other grappling-heavy characters. (kind of cool that I don't feel comfortable just saying "grappler" anymore thanks to the space becoming a big gray area)
Gief and Mika most closely resemble the pure grappler archetype of games past and, between the two, I'm of the opinion that the latter looks much more fun/interesting to play.
Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention before that this is far and away my favorite version of Bison. So much badass/psycho swagger.

That I can't deny... save us please Kinu, Akiman, Bengus, Ikeno, Edayan!
I'm pretty sure there has to be SF3 characters in the roster before you can start bitching about SF3 characters taking up roster spots. That combined with the fact that (I think) you're saying new characters should be removed for your personal favourites just assures that I'll never take any of your posts seriously.
Ridiculous.
Gotta be Abel then.

Gief needs his greenhand back this is coming from a non-gief player.

He has a vaccuum attack and two meterless armored moves.
Actually, why haven't we seen any of their art unlike with SFIII and SFIV? One of them must still be involved in the conceptual stage at the very least one would think, so hopefully we'll see their concept art at some point (perhaps in a future art book, like with IV for the most part).
"Zangief is mentioned to be the first character with a 360 command grab that has been added to the game as Zangief is intended to be technical and difficult to play."
Does this mean that the 360 input shortcut is gone? Because otherwise I don't find them to be any more "technical" or "difficult" than other motions.
Doubt it. They've had it since SF2, don't see why they'd change it now. They probably mean it is just more complicated/prone to messing up in comparison to all the other moves in this game, which is true even with the shortcut.

Well SF4 was mostly Kinu and Ikeno- but they weren't involved much beyond Arcade Edition. It's funny, just the other day I wanted to see what Juri looks like in Kinu's style... but couldn't find where she's ever illustrated the character. The character art for Ultra and Street Fighter x Tekken was handled by unnamed artists at Polygon Pictures, the studio that did the CGI movies.
We know Kinu, Bengus, and Akiman were working on Gundam Recognista the last year or so- so they weren't available. But yeah... dunno about Ikeno, Edayan (who did the designs on the most recent Ace Attourney I think), or even Shinkiro
EDIT- Kazuya Nuri is doing Ace Attorney so who knows about Edayan
Hmmm... never knew that it was considered a difficult input tbh. You can do it in either direction regardless of what side you're on and it never felt much different from a half circle to me.
I don't think it's especially hard either (at least the short version), but some people didn't like the Tiger Knee motion, so it comes as no surprise that 360s are considered difficult by some.
Also, outside of maybe some official guides, I don't think Capcom has ever actually told players that they could do the move clock/counterclock-wise or that they could even do a shortcut. I don't blame those players not in the know for thinking it's an obtuse command.
It'll be SimZen

has there been any actual evidence that Sim is next?
No, ya getting mad corny with this.
I'd rather Zen just be a Sim clone and bring in a different vet. I do think that SFV needs that kind of zoner, but I'm not a fan of the character/archetype so I'm biased.

If I can let go of Guren and chaining from mk you can let go of Green Hand.
Green Hand was such a dumb move, especially as 90% of its use was closing in after an SPD.
I think saying "everything about Gief is different" is a little bit of an exaggeration
I played him at NYCC and while approaching the opponent obviously feels completely different because you need to use V-skill instead of greenhand, once you're in there it feels a lot like SF4 - his cross up's the same, his pokes are almost the same, etc. The goal is still to land SPDs like it's always been. SPD range seems really short right now but I think that'll change before release

Continuing the trend of Capcom giving us SNK-esque characters since SNK is lying down for a while, I'm going to go ahead and say Remy.
And continuing the trend of silly justifications for personal favorites, I'm going to say he fills a playstyle that doesn't currently exist on the roster.
There's no chance it's Remy, but it would be way cooler than whoever the final returning character will be.

A lot of attacks in SF are good for closing in options. That was indeed a benefit.
Thank god. Entry SF4 Gief complaints aside, his grab range was still pretty ridiculous.

It doesn't really mean anything, and she'll obviously get in as DLC later, but Karin mentions Sakura in her win quote against Ryu.
Still my favorite unlikely theory to keep trying to sell on this thread. It's totally gonna be the same guy.
Doesn't seem to long after 4.
This would be amazing

I was thinking about Remy. But chances are very small imo.
Dude was awesome. You just have bad taste, BRO.
Yes, it would be. There would be a lot of salt if he showed up.
Dude, I don't know if you have noticed, but the sodium levels are already pretty high around these parts. The blood pressure is rapidly rising. Hell, there is at least one regular poster that appears to be a single grain away from full cardiac arrest...
This man needs our love and support at the moment. He has entered into a dark place...

Re-posting this for thoughts, since I know it got overlooked during yesterday's NYCC sham, lol.
Damn right I'd be salty if he showed up.
If anyone from that game should appear, it's that Kasumi Todoh/Hokuto-looking girl.
Yes, I never played the game, so I'm just going by looks

No reveal at NYCC is kind of a bummer, I assume we will get the last returning SF vet soon (because we got a new character reveal) so we finally can start speculating dlc instead of this SF3 vs WW shtick... Do people think that we will be dripped dlc characters that are seemingly random favorites, or we will get theme'd drips like final fight set/sf3 rep set...
I was expecting them to really showcase the new stage, give some new details, and close with a tease. So yeah, pretty disappointing for me, and I had more measured expectations than many.
I think they'll be dropped in a similar fashion to new League of Legends champs. Considering the balancing and other things that go into getting characters to work it makes the most sense to have characters in the pipeline at different points so different teams can work on them.
