Interesting
So Alex is gonna be first wave DLC now that they know right?
Hahaha.
Well, it's just 3s.
It's from this interview, question starts at 6:50
https://soundcloud.com/fightyourrival/nycc-interview-capcoms-matt-dahlgren-talks-street-fighter-v
Yeah, the whole 'I think SF3 is trash so I'm going to shit on it to piss people off' thing is old now.
They ignored Street Fighter IV's newbies as well, so it's not just III that's getting the cold shoulder in the base roster. Though at least from the sound of that interview, we'll probably get the likes of Alex & Urien sooner rather than later.

Yo Max, are you accepting friend invites on PS4? I sent you an invite a while back. I want to play you in SFV.
I don't think SF3 is trash. Alex, Ibuki, and Yang are three of my favorite SF characters. /shrug You get hilariously emotional in these threads. It's not that serious.
I do honestly believe there isn't much of a "3s fanbase" to piss off in comparison to the rest of the series, though. I know people like to argue and debate all the stuff surrounding it, but it's not a popular game. Diehards for the series will be willing to pay for those characters when they come out, so it makes sense not to include them in the initial roster.
The idea of them as DLC is fine, I have no problem with that. My problem is saying that not having a single SF3 representitve in a game leading up to SF3 is 'a bit of an oversight' is a fucking joke. It's like they don't even care about showing that they don't give a fuck about the game.
I don't care if it's a small fanbase, it's a fanbase nonetheless. Popular game or not people like these characters and Capcom should at least act like they give a shit about all their fans, not just the ones who like SF2 and Alpha.

Who knows Matt could be lying to throw people off

So is taking the need to wait for certain characters to appear as this grave personal attack.
There are more of them than there are of fans of SF3. Capcom makes more people happy with this move.

Alex's low-fi presence in the background of the NY stage was a pretty good hint that (a) he was not in the original roster and (b) demand for him took Ono, at least, by surprise. I know people talk about Balrog and Vega appearing in the Small Airfield stage, but those were reasonable approximations of their actual models. "Alex" in the city background was initially mistaken for Axl.
Pity if this means Urien's out too.
It's probably too late for that, but I think we can expect Alex to jump the queue of characters not yet in development.

Maybe I had heard wrong but I though they hadn't begun work on DLC characters yet.

SF3 fans are starting to look like those extreme vegans that go apeshit over the mere sight of someone eating meat.
SF4 fans aren't getting anything either but you don't see them throwing a fit and you're guaranteed the inclusion of SF3 characters just like every revision of 4. Get over it.
So Capcom are fine as long the smallest fanbase are unhappy. Great. I expect nothing less at this point
There are dozens of us!
Dozens!
Yeah, especially when the first wave of DLC appears and it's a few 3s characters and all of your complaints disappear.
Definitely a classic character and a mainstay of the series, yep.
Not sure where you heard anything about when DLC characters were being developed.

SF3's popularity isn't as big as some people seem to think it is.
Sucks that there aren't any at launch but taking that as an insult is ridiculous lol

I'm betting the smallest fanbase is SF1 characters.
Edit: I take that back. Muscle Bomber is in the SF universe and that has to be the least popular. I need Astro in SFV!
The only returning characters are from Alpha and ST, everybody else has to wait.
And they put like 6 SF3 characters into 4, it's not like they've been ignoring 3 since it came out.
I still want Retsu, real talk.
There's also no SFIV reps yet even though the game was a lot more successful than 3. It is what it is. I await the day Rufus and Fuerte show up in SFV.
Well, there you go. No SFIII fighters in the initial roster. Capcom seems unaware of the Alex and Urien fandom out there.
Same.

They just said they're coming. The combination of Sagat, Akuma, and Sakura probably have more fans than SF3 fans combined. They have to wait too.
Edit: nevermind
All a ruse for Remy! Yea, it's time to give up dude.
Almost as old as crying about a video game roster
I'm one of the biggest 3rd Strike fans, and I would've said Akuma alone has more fans.
Still, I think there are plenty of 3rd Strike characters that are worth bringing back (that weren't in SF4). Namely Alex, Urien, and Q. IMO only Remy and Twelve are throwaway.
Thanks for being polite about it

Um, I've been wanting to see more SF1 cast members (Retsu, Geki, Joe, Lee, Eagle) in the SF games for... 24 years? And Sagat, who to me seems like a key part of the SF "mythos" (if there is such a thing) is MIA. Yet they're throwing in Karin.
Chill.
I mean it's been done to death
Eagle really needs to be in a main SF game.
I definitely agree. Tons of the 3s roster will be awesome when they make it to SF5. But I can totally see why they're not there at the start.
Except Q. i hate that guy.

Dudley's my favorite character. But I don't take needing to wait for him as Capcom hating me.
Good post. Add Cody and Guile to those characters as well.
Blanka beat out Alex and Urien in Capcom 2013 poll guys. Blanka.

I am absolutely insulted that Deejay hasn't been announced yet.
Absolutely rattled.
Absolutely rattled.
He's my favorite as well. Although we're look lucky in that regard because he's probably the 2nd most popular 3rd Strike character. I feel bad for Twelve and Remy fans.
I know you're joking but the fact that Dee Jay appeared in both Alpha and 4 is a goddamned miracle. He should have died with Super SF2.
