Fuck the police. Even if I'll play on PS4 I preordered the PC version. I'll check if there are hints for unnannounced characters for myself.

Via Twitter. 18 characters, 12 stages and 3 costumes.

Deejay confirmed.

no zen?

 

[mnz]

I find the 12 stages to be more surprising, to be honest.

 

[kirblar]

Would presume #17 is Akuma, and #18 is whoever the boss is. (Urien pls?)

 

[Devid905]

I find the 12 stages to be more surprising, to be honest.

Bustling Side Street
Union Station
Forgotten Waterfall
Underground Arena
City in Chaos
Hillside Plaza
Kanzuki Estate
----
Rashid's desert stage
Mika's wrestling ring stage
Necalli's stage
Ryu's stage
Bison's stage

Pretty much adds up to 12 (excluding Training stage)

Urien and Akuma as bosses is my guess.

 

[Raitaro]

Bustling Side Street

City in Chaos
Hillside Plaza
Kanzuki Estate

Rashid's desert stage
Mika's wrestling ring stage
Necalli's stage
Ryu's stage
Bison's stage

Not to repeat myself again but I believe that Ryu's stage is the same as Karin's. The old temple + statue you see in his art is on the far left side of the Kanzuki Estate. It would somewhat suit him as well, being in Japan and all.

Not that I wouldn't be very happy with 12 stages though, especially if they also have weather and time of day variations. I had almost accepted the fact we'd only get 8-10, excluding the training stage.

Dalhsim, Sagat, Boxer, and Juri.

Dhalsim, Zen, Sub-boss (Juri), Boss (Urien) would be my guess, assuming this wasn't speculation on your part.

 

[pizzacat]

That's 2 characters more


Hmmm

 

[Scrub Mcgrubb]

So if you look at the filenames it would indicate that's the file for the VS screen and not an actual slot on the select menu. My guess would be the game is launching with 2 unplayable boss characters

 

[Lulubop]

Dalhsim, Sagat, Boxer, and Juri.

Yea, that's not happening.

 

[Karsticles]

If there are 2 DLC characters, they have to be hype enough to make people want to buy them at launch.

 

[AppleMIX]

Dhalsim, Zen, Alex and Urien

Spoiler

Believe

 

[Village]

Yoooooo

Hope thats real

 

[Tizoc]

That's 2 characters more


Hmmm

Watch as during PGW THEY reveal that there are 2 more character they managed to add in for launch :V

Easing people into the DLC character roll out with post-release boss unlocks definitely helps maintain hype/interest. Would be shocked if that's not how they approach it.

Ono is on stage about to end the event when a tiny capcom employee comes up to whisper something is his ear

Then he announces this

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

Dhalsim, Zen, Alex and Urien

Siliconera said Alex and Urien are in the game. Zen and Dhalsim were on the leak list that also had Gief, Mika, Karin, Laura and Rashid.

So it's pretty likely you're right.

 

[BiggNife]

Is there additional proof of the 18 character thing posted anywhere else?

Not that I don't think it's plausible, but I don't exactly immediately believe a weird twitter account with a single post that popped out of nowhere.

 

[ElFly]

El Fuerte here we go.

 

[kirblar]

Siliconera said Alex and Urien are in the game. Zen and Dhalsim were on the leak list that also had Gief, Mika, Karin, Laura and Rashid.

So it's pretty likely you're right.

....why do people keep quoting a fake list that was created after the Siliconera and Ken Bogard leaks were out there as justification?

It's insane.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Siliconera said Alex and Urien are in the game. Zen and Dhalsim were on the leak list that also had Gief, Mika, Karin, Laura and Rashid.

That list didn't have Vega or Ken in it, let it go.

 

[pizzacat]

You're gonna hear that a lot when you're caught frozen staring at Uriens bulge

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

....why do people keep quoting a fake list that was created after the Siliconera and Ken Bogard leaks were out there as justification?

It's insane.

The list preceded the Siliconera news.

That list didn't have Vega or Ken in it, let it go.

It had Ken, just not Vega. Possible explanation: Vega was planned as DLC but moved into the roster to "disprove" the leak.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Needs Alex. Can't let Skullgirls 2 steal the thunder.

 

[KidA Seven]

....why do people keep quoting a fake list that was created after the Siliconera and Ken Bogard leaks were out there as justification?

It's insane.

The list came before siliconera, but it was mostly based on the popularity polls and Bogard's leak. That's why they named Juri in the starting roster. Still not trust worthy.

Ah, ok.

Real explanation: This is a fake list. Alex and Urien are not on the starting roster. Juri is incredibly unlikely.

Referring to this as a "source" is absurd.

SFV characters:

-R. Mika
-Zangief
-Sim
-Juri
-Karin
-Ken
-Urien
-Alex
-Laura
-Rashid
-Zen
-New Boss

 

[Stone Ocean]

Vega was revealed like a month after that list showed up.

 

[Nakazato]

Top tier deejay

 

[mbpm1]

The remaining 4 characters will all be Deejay

 

[I-hate-u]

I knew it. 2 hidden fighters, and they will be Akuma and the boss.

 

[KidA Seven]

Vega was planned as DLC but moved into the roster to "disprove" the leak.

Doubt it. If you think about it, the new characters would have been the easiest way to disprove the leak. They could have changed their names if they were that concerned about a leak.

 

[Lulubop]

The list preceded the Siliconera news.

lol at thinking Capcom would do something like this just to disprove a list on the internet, a list that the majority of SFV potential consumers wouldn't even be aware of. Really?

 

[Shadoken]

Dhalsim, Zen, Sub-boss (Juri), Boss (Urien) would be my guess, assuming this wasn't speculation on your part.

Juri over Akuma?

Yea no.

Urien ( Boss)

Akuma ( Hidden Boss) Is more likely.


But it could very well be Alex/Urien as the on disc DLC.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

The remaining 4 characters will all be Deejay

each with unique racist alternate costumes

 

[Lulubop]

It's possible the two character can just be 2 unplayable boss characters?

I'd say Urien and Ingrid.

 

[ElTopo]

It's possible the two character can just be 2 unplayable boss characters?

I'd say Urien and Ingrid.

Yeah, they're going to spend about a million dollars a character just to make them unplayable. Makes a lot of sense there dude.

 

[Lulubop]

Yea, I never seen a fighting game developer do something like that.

Also just because they aren't unplayable at launch doesn't mean they won't be down the road. Piss off.

 

[crimsonspider89]

Unplayable boss chars at launch. Two of the first DLC chars

 

[Crisium]

We're certain one of the 18 is not random?

 

[kirblar]

Definitely the default assumption, with Akuma being penciled in as #17 by a lot of people (myself included) due to tradition.

 

[Lulubop]

Yea, Akuma makes sense too. I'm just going off that Ingrid tweet from a few months ago. I think she'll be back in some capacity.

 

[Stone Ocean]

We're not certain of anything.

 

[pizzacat]

lmao you saw that too, at least they didn't need a fundraising campaign smh

 

[mbpm1]

They wouldn't put El Fuerte in this game tho
