Dhalsim looks great in this game. He just animates so nicely. I hope he is viable. It does concern me a little that the people that mained him in SFIV are struggling with him. That being said, I don't think it is time to hit the panic button yet. Firstly, the game is still pretty far away... Secondly, as people have already said, it only takes one person figuring out one thing to turn "garbage" characters into viable characters.

Daigo sucked with Ryu as well at that E3 SFV tournament.
Such early impressions aren't really worth taking seriously. You just don't get a hang of a character that fast, especially if he or she has been refreshed.
Him being missing and not going back to the army makes a lot if sense considering Aloha 2's ending. He was backstabber by allied soldiers who had been paid off by Bison iirc.
He's searched for him for one game, 2 if you count Alpha 3, but in SF2 Nash was "dead" and he was trying to get revenge.
While Dan is my favorite character, I really want Go Hibiki instead. He is basically a "what if Dan was badass?"
Plus if they are "focusing on the story" this time around he fits right it in with Sagat's story.
I can just imagine Dan popping up in his intro, win screen, CA, and taunts.

Updated story bits while the lucky people get to play in the secret beta.
These are pulled from the quotes, so they may or may not end up being canon, though some of them can be.
Gief knows Laura. I guess they either fought before or saw her fight?
Karin is apparently stupid strong. I really wonder how she lost to Sakura at all considering the massive praise she gets. Rashid doesn't know if he could beat her again!
That being said, Sakura is apparently still seeking Ryu out, so she's not done fighting at all. See you in the next wave of DLC.

Dhalsim' animations are too cool. Guys so scary looking, I take back what I said about the redesign. Hope he ends up being a little more fun to ply than what some people are saying.
Didn't Justin "Most Dominant Player in esports History" Wong do this with Adon?
Just like Nash and Gouken.

Justin is generally ass at giving advice tbh
I'm a fan of Adon and like rubbing that in. He's a good player and I can't deny that, but the irony on that was too sweet.
Even more funny is that he got blocked from getting into top 8 at evo2k10 by gamerbee using Adon

One of Zangief's quotes with Laura is something like "You've gotten stronger since last time!". Not that I have any faith in the story mode, as I feel like it's destined to be garbage, but I wonder what the exact relationship is between the two.

Remember when FChamp said Phoenix was garbage not worth picking in Ultimate Marvel? Yet he still plays her.
And Sentinel. He claimed Marvel was figured out a day after release, that it was garbage and everyone should pick Sentinel for free wins. Now Sentinel is a complimentary bag of metal scraps on point. The best athletes are rarely the best coaches, and the best players are rarely the best analyzers of fighting games. Playing and reflecting on a game's meta are extremely different skill sets.

She has her own folder but that's probably just because she has an in-game model, don't think we'll see her as DLC.

She lacks the bones/polys to be a full character. Her files seeem to be there just for the assist model.
I don't know man, that seems I don't know. Like a freebie. I'll bet on she'll be DLC eventually?

Probably in some wrestling circle.
So far, the plots at hand are:
Necaili wanting to consume strong souls, hunting down people to get stronger, while Bison is actively seeking him out/knows he exists and plans to use him for something (probably to body switch).
Charlie is part of the Illuminati and is looking to kill Bison.
Rashid's friend is captured by Bison or his crew.
Mika, with Karin as her manager, is fighting. Gief knows Laura, probably fought her before.
And that's all we really know at the moment.
Everyone else is running around doing the same shit.

Where is that tidbit about Bison going after Necalli from?

Nadeshiko already has her own files in the character folder of the PC beta. Her character model has the least amount of detail though... like only around 5K triangles- she's obviously just meant to be an assist character.
Of course that hasn't stopped modders...

Maybe it comes from his winquote against Necalli: "Its all just a matter of time now. Everything is going according to plan."
Bison's motives definitely involve Necalli.

personally I'm looking forward to the next beta when we get Zangief's files so modders can replace Nadeshiko's model with him... Mika calling in Gief dropkicks and buttslams all day

Yup. I think it's the only one without his generic It-Was-Tuesday snarkiness.

I would love to see recordings of Champ and Art's Sim so far. I found Art's first set, which he did okay in.
Nah. She would need a lot more work, and they need people to actually want to buy her.
Ah, thank you.
Maybe they could just sell her as a replacement skin for Mika. Judging from all the salt her announcement caused I'm sure some would be willing to pay actual money to (more or less) erase her from the game.

That, I could see. Their models are similar enough.

I wouldn't want her taking up valuable real estate in the character roster. I'd be fine if she was a alt skin for Mika.

Don't really see the appeal of Nadeshiko, in my eyes she's pretty dull compared to her partner and after seeing her slap Mika hard on the back i actually kind of actively dislike her: if someone did that to me I wouldn't be anywhere near as pleasant as Ms Nanakawa about it 
Each to their own though, I appreciate that the loud antics of the rainbow wrestler aren't for everyone.
If they ever did add Nadeshiko though I'd personally prefer it if she was a seperate character, I'd rather have Mika alts for Mika, not a completely different character.

If you feel this way, you will always be disappointed by roster additions. when character is added, it isn't some kumate death match for the spot. They wanted that character for something in the first place, so she isn't taking up anything, they just didn't want who ever you wanted... on the roster.
Also if you pay attention to the character select screen. There is a lot of space... like a lot, almost as if they planned this, almost as if they already have 6 characters they are already planning to add to the roster. This is going to be a large roster game at the end of this. And lastly, they could just do what they used to do, and fighting games in general used to do more often, and just allow you to pick nadeshiko from R Mika's spot ,if roster aesthetic bother you that much.

Just leave an obscure assist character as an assist character.

We had over 50 characters in SFIV and there were still a bunch that I would have liked to see come back. There are never enough slots in a character select screen. I'd also have Capcom spend their time and money on other characters rather than making Mika's partner semi-unique. Just my opinion.
We had 44 characters in SF4.

No, people want different things. Deal with that.
Also this series made final fight enemies, characters. If nadeshiko's a character, you'll live.
Basically the same to you. I would just rather fun character no matter where they are from. People want different things, i don't know what else to say to you .
Nadeshiko's existence in SFV is already "something different" and interesting.
