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

I don't know how you can say that.
Both visually and gameplay wise he is the most interesting new thing for this game.

Rashid and Necali interesting visually and gameplay wise. This is the opposite. Laura is interesting visually, her gameplay looks dull as dishwater.
 
I'm glad FANG is a more defensive/zoner character. SFV has so many characters that focus on rushdown so it's nice to see characters that emphasize a different style of play.

Also, I actually like all of the new characters except Necalli. Necalli does absolutely nothing for me both in terms of design and playstyle.
 
Laura's visual design is simplistic but distinct, even if she is another "boob monster" (h/t Ultradavid). I can't really agree that it's boring or "generic," whatever that's supposed to mean.
 
It's truly backwards land if Rashid, Laura and Necalli are deemed more visually interesting than F.A.N.G., with how the every single one of the former three couldn't be even more of a cookiecutter design if Capcpom tried.

That said, they're still nowhere near as bland as the majority of IV's newcomers. Hakan would've been great if it wasn't for the overly vibrant red skin and if they got rid of the teal barnacle hair, but that's about it.

I think big fat rufus is pretty interesting with his belly jiggle and stuff.

Yeah, I don't think a character needs a ton of weird stuff going on to be a good design. I think Nash is the least appealing character, but the most busy. The green skin doesn't even make sense...his design makes no sense in general to me.

Boob jokes aside, I actually think Laura has a very classic feel to her. She could fit in as a World Warrior.
 
Laura's fine, her design gets her archetype across. I think she's easily the least interesting newcomer though. They had to make her the sibling of another SF character (and have the powers of another?) just because she doesn't have much else going on.
 
Edit: Because I'm prepared to predict/hope for the next batch of DLC characters for 2017.

Akuma, Rose, Haggar, Maki, Necro, New Character.

Also, F.A.N.G. looks like he's going to be annoying as hell to play against lol.


He'll always be annoying.

When you're playing against me. Huehuehue
 
Ok, after that IGN video I think I've come around on Fang now. He seems quite cool and interesting even with his narrow physique, a bit like that Peacock villain from Kung Fu Panda 2 because of his sleeves.

Cheers for saving me the trouble friend!

So with this screenshot in mind, I think it is safe to say that we'll get at least one more stage on the left side, making it 12 total. That or they'll add three more for 14. Keep in mind we still need stages that match up with the background elements found in Necalli, Fang and possibly Rashid's art (if the new airport stage isn't Dubai inspired). Let's hope for 3 more I say!

With the possible exception of a final boss stage, I don't think there are any on-disc stages left.

I will quite happily buy the R. Mika stage the first second it becomes available. Personally, I am actually super happy to support this kind of business model. Allow me to earn the essential content for free and I will buy cosmetic stuff to support you. I may end up spending the same amount as I would with the other model (maybe more), but I never feel like I have to do it, and that instantly makes me happier to spend that money.
 
Was that the PC version being played by Combo and Mike Ross?

Looks so good :O

PC version has been turned on for the last hour or so... I noticed some lighting improvements on Kanzuki estate... they fixed the clipping on the pants legs during the tutorial for the Alpha costumes.
 
What is the name of the stage that is on the left side next to Hillside Plaza stage? Are they going to reveal 4 more stages based on the artworks for Fang, R. Mika, Rashid, Necalli? Are they going to include the final boss stage?
 
When are they going to reveal more stages for Street Fighter V of characters based on their artworks for R. Mika, Rashid, Fang, Necalli? How many stages will be in Street Fighter V?
