Street Fighter V Roster Discussion |Thread 2| Deal with it & place your hope for DLC

I'm glad the last character isn't what we're expecting anymore. Makes the build-up to the reveal all the more interesting.

Also good to see that Alex, Guile, Ibuki, Boxer, Juri and Urien are absolutley 100% confirmed to be our first DLC characters. I think this is the most leaked game I've ever come across to be honest. MK9 was close but at least they didn't have their DLC characters leaked.
 
The fact that there hasn't even been a hint of Gouki is really, really surprising. They want to use him as a lead for the second wave of DLC to kinda re-launch the game, perhaps ?
 
Yeah, that's an archetype that is surprisingly missing from SF so why not ?
Surprisingly so, tbh.
GameStart, which is in Singapore and is hosting the CPT Asia finals, is the next possible event for a reveal.
Looks like a good place to reveal Fan.

Absolutely. Save the most anticipated character for the beginning of the second wave. Hype will already be high for all of year one. I'd say Akuma and Sagat are locks for year two.
 
And more datamining confirms the name of the last character and 6 DLC characters until 2017.

16-Fan
17-Guile
18-Balrog
19-Urien
20-Alex
21-Ibuki
22-Juri

So it's time to place hope on next next DLC for Makoto? Still happy, as Karin is in and Laura looks cool. Disappointed in no Akuma, but Ryu will probably satisfy that shoto itch.

I love it. Well done Capcom. Like seriously they didnt think that people would dissect all the files to its bare bone? Now that its out in the open they may as well release them all officially
 
I'm expecting something weird, just because it's the last vanilla character and possibly a boss.

They will go nuts with the design. Expect Seth lvls or even Gill. I totally wouldn't mind a dude in a gi compared.
When's Ingrid tho?

Iirc UMVC3 had it's entire roster leaked right away.

Literally a week after it was announced. All characters already on the website.

I remember trying different Mega man variants for 20 minutes in confusion. What name were they hiding him by? Surely he hasn't been forgotten again...
 
Soooo....
1. Balrog
2. Guile
3. Ibuki
4. Alex
5. Juri
6. Urien in clothes?

3 looks exactly like Balrog in his hoodie
Illuminati symbol though

Possible that Balrog is part of the illuminati now, but I doubt it.

Also stages seem to line up with the characters.
NYC = Balrog and Alex (American)
Waterfall = Urien and Guile (Illuminati connection, Charlie in Guile's case)
Kanzuki = Ibuki (Japanese and also the presence of ninjas in that stage)
China = Juri (Chun Li connection?)
 
They have Chun, Ken and Ryu. Give me Linn Kurosawa Capcom so that I can not play her when I realize she doesn't fit my style of play, then whine that they ruined the character I love.

Linn will be in the second batch of DLC. I am sure because I see a strong pattern here.
 
Official art and everything.

I liked that honestly. Less roster debates (outside the ones that were salty about the choices) and more speculation and antcipation on how the characters would play
I remember the build-up to how the hell Phoenix Wright would play. His reveal didn't disappoint but it was a shame he sucked outside of Turnabout mode.
 
LOL at the audio files... well at least the people still in denial might finally come around. I wonder if Eventhubs is still going to look the other way this time?

edit- also here's a text dump of the character dialogue for those who haven't seen it yet- might be story spoilers though, so browse accordingly.

I'm just sticking my head in the sand no matter what. If it's true I get sad that I have to wait a year to use Alex. If I don't know (or pretend not to) anything I feel pretty neutral. It's a coping mechanism I put together for movie and television spoilers. It works better than you'd expect. That is part of why I barely post in this thread anymore.

I wasn't so much in denial as I don't want to give something unconfirmed the benefit of the doubt as being fact. The voice files raised my confidence to the point where it seems overwhelmingly unlikely it's not that six though.
