C.Viper has the BEST theme ever. Fucking badass as shit:

Her MVC3 one is even BETTER:

The lyrics, how much more badassery do you need?

Sf4 in general has better themes than A3 and J don't know how anyone can argue otherwise.

In terms of Characters OST A3 >>> SF4. But otherwise the stage BGM from SF4 are pretty decent.
A3 is a lot more fast paced and it really fits the fast paced combat.
Aside from Vega and Ryu all A3 themes are awful. They all sound very samey too. Akuma's is pretty good too, but hell no on it having better themes.

What the character themes are great as well as some of the general stage BGM's. They even created new good themes, like Poison's.

Yep, 1.07 came out around 7-8 hours ago. We still only have the patch notes, which don't reveal anything. We'll know for sure what it holds either when the servers are up again or when the PC owners dissect the game's files.

Will Ryu have his stage in Street Fighter V? When are they going to reveal R. Mika's Stage, Rashid's stage, Ryu's stage, Fang's stage, and Necalli's stage based on the artworks for Street Fighter V?
dude
You know what? No, no he won't. No to all of it.

Except PC has gotten none of the updates... the last one we got was during the October beta.
They making sure you don't get your hands on those files.
I'm glad at least one person here has some sense. Good Fighter is top tier, Kobu is wack
And Indestructible is corny as fuck, which is why we love it, but the in-game mixes weren't good imo.
Shit guys, this game is bringing me back into the FGC, used to follow that shit hardcore during the UMvC3, MK9 and SF4: AE days. Now I just tune into EVO really.
On topic:
Is anyone else kinda disappointed with the roster so far? I kinda wanted a new cast of characters ala SF3 with some iconic characters returning like Chun-Believable and Ryu. If not that then a least make the characters age a bit, so far only Dhalsim has looked like he aged (Hot Ryu kinda counts I guess, but hes a costume). Still though, SF3 had the best characters and its a shame we don't see enough of them, excluding Urien, Alex, Ibuki but wheres Dudley, Q and Makoto bruhz.

3s characters are money makers that's why they were put on hold because capcom knows we will pay good money for them. I like your idea of perhaps having Ryu,Ken and Chun has the only returning characters then everybody new. However, people wouldn't be receptive just look at New Generations where ryu and ken were added due to fans being pissed off.
I would agree with you before they revealed the new characters for this game. They're all mad garbage, this game would suck if it was just new characters + Ryu/Chun.
I like the interesting middle ground of not really new characters but ones that have been in the fridge for so long that they might as well be new for a large portion of the players.
Karin best girl.

But see, that's the beauty of Street Fighter V. Capcom is treating it like a service, with everything being released you can either buy or earn through matches. Alex, Ibuki & Urien have already been announced, so you can go just for them & be completely satisfied. If they're successful, then more SFIII characters will come after that. I really feel that this game will have incredibly long legs. Not just because of the fighting game community, but also because of casuals like me who will buy anything for my favorite characters. You have to imagine costumes will be huge.
Trust me, more will come. We just have to do our part & support it.
My wallet is not ready for the amount of costumes I'll be buying.

Capcom struck gold with Juri. Outside from that here's my ranking on new characters from 4/5:
Juri: Goat tier
C.viper: she's allright
Abel: Boring
Elf: Lame
Oni: Banned
Hakan: a mistake
Gouken: interesting take on the shoto character he belongs.
Decapre: on the originality scale she's copy and paste, super fun to play.
Laura: her moveset seems limited but she's pretty cool.
Rashid: looks like fun but idk jury still out.
Fang: personally? He doesn't seem like he belongs.
Necalli: normal form blah, he should've been vtrigger always Necalli.
I completely understand, these were just observations from the initial roster. I do hope they continue to create brand new characters though, cause as of now, the Season Pass characters are existing characters in SF lore. I am glad that they took a difference approach to SF5 though, seems like they don't want to repeat that Super, Arcade Edition then Ultra edition shit they did with SF4. Gameplay looks delicious though, haven't played a fighting game seriously since UMvC3 and I look forward to dusting off my fightstick.
I sorta agree. Juri, Viper, Oni, Necalli are the only ones which I like. Fang looks terribad, Laura is a bit to plain for me and Decapre is copy and paste as fuck. Also where are dem boxers characters?
Juri is AMAZING indeed, I love her, even though I never played her and probably never will. She's just "the face of Street Fighter". Not really, since she's not as known, but she just fits so damn well. I honestly consider her to be a classic character already, can't imagine a future entry without her. Was actually surprised she wasn't in the original roster for SF V.
I love Abel as well. Wanted to main him since vanilla but thought he was too hard. Keoma inspired me to try it again for the last few days. It's going surprisingly well.
As far as "joke characters" go, Hakan is pretty cool. Wouldn't care if he never showed up again, but he was aight.
I must be the only person in the world, but I think Rufus fits really well, and it's just a fun character gameplay-wise.
Viper should stay in Marvel where she belongs.
Laura and Rashid look GREAT, I love their designs, but they're boring as fuck.
Everyone else is mad garbage. FANG is the official wasted slot in the game. Nothing but trash.

Rufus would've been a better fit over Fang.

F.A.N.G's fireball reminds of me of Mortal Kombat.
I don't think one could do a better job at showing how much he sucks than this.
I have a feeling FANG is going to be an issue. I think the poison mechanic is either going to suck so much it's almost non existent, or it's going to be strong enough it makes matches not fun. I think a mechanic that damages players when they've done nothing wrong goes against the basic fundamentals of this series.

Getting hit is doing something wrong lol

Does poison hurt you if you block?
Why not both? We're missing a good divekick character and there are only two Americans on the roster.
Give Karin a divekick
From ability descriptions it sounds like he has an aura that constantly drains you. You're technically not getting hit, just being close.
That to me is bullshit.

Ooh yeah, that's true. It's like Ebrietas's worst attack. It's sort of analogous to Rose's Ultra 2 though yeah? Depending on how long it lasts. I'm guessing it's super short and supposed to be used with combos. He sounds like a mortal kombat character lol
You can block that though. There's always been characters/moves that are more threatening up close, but it's never been guaranteed damage.

Hmm. I'm really excited for FANG, but balancing that is gonna be a nightmare.

Yah alpha 3 is one of his best one's. Alpha 3 soundtrack had some great themes intermixed with dismissal to crap themes.
Reptile has this in MKX. It's not an issue.

Why are people saying 3S music is good? Remy, Dudley and Hugo's theme are like the only memorable songs from that game with the Brazil Stage remix from 3SOE. Second Impact's OST was leagues better. Alpha 3's was crap outside of Ryu, Rose and M.Bison's stage.

The entirety of the 3s soundtrack is good, imo.

Maybe it ends when he takes damage.
I actually love F.A.N.G.'s design, but I agree. I mean, poisoning one's opponents worked in Skullgirls with Valentine, but it was hard to pull off and the damage was negligible, so it felt fair. If F.A.N.G. can poison by proximity alone, he's almost certainly going to be bad or broken.
Here's hoping I'm proven wrong, though!

Right cause it barely does any damage, therefor pretty negligible. If that's the case for FANG then that's a shitty Vtrigger, which then makes you wonder why have it to begin with.
Not to mention MK is a very different beast than SF. Especially SFV that seems to be much more concentrated on fundamentals.
Like I said, I'm not only worried that it might be too strong, I'm worried that it's not a good mechanic for SFV and might be troublesome to balance.
Because it is and a ton of people agree? Is 3s soundtrack getting praised new to you or something? The fuck.
Also Remy has like the worst theme in 3s, what the shit? Sounds like a rejected A3 theme, the one you just said was crap.
