Pretty strange, but the times are changing. I bet they release one later if it turns out to be a hit
Yeah, that could be an option, too

That depends on if they're going in the order of the silhouettes. If so, Guile would be second in line to be released (which isn't that long of a wait since he'd only have to wait for Alex to come out). Though in a way, it would make sense to do it in silhouette order since Capcom did catch wind of Alex's demand, which would justify the possibility of Capcom & Dimps prioritizing Alex for release.

I think no arcade would be bad for almost every game out there, but the Japanese SF community is big and strong enough to survive without it.
This should be the official cover!
Ugh, it is too beautiful to be the boxart for a video game. I remember reading an article written by someone in the industry (Ken Levine maybe?) about how bland box art sells... So depressing.
I think this art convinced me to finally try making sleeves for my game cases; this art's too good to be ignored, and Ryu making a V with his arms, while cool, just pales in comparison.

Akuma decided to take his talents elsewhere
I actually need a poster of it, without any of the text. I had one for SFIV on my wall for years.

So this means that Ryu is the only "classic" shoto. Ken is a lot more fast-paced and offensive as compared to his previous versions.
I am really digging this lineup, I gotta say. There's a character for everyone, even at launch. (except maybe the ultra-defensive types)

Dhalsim, I can understand.
Haven't seen much F.A.N.G gameplay but is he really a defense-oriented character? I've heard he has good mix-ups.

He's the type of zoner that fills the screen with shit. Watch Combo demoing him vs Mike Ross
He has offensive tools too but his focus seems to be keepaway

oh god... why does Namco's Akuma look waaaaay so much better than all the SFV models using the the same engine. 
It's more of an art style thing.oh god... why does Namco's Akuma look waaaaay so much better than all the SFV models using the the same engine.
That being said, I hope we get Jin in Wave 2 as he played in SFxT to return the favor. He transitioned extremely well to the Street Fighter style & had synergy with essentially everyone.
I would love Jin in SFV. or Kazuya. that purple stuff.

Nina. So Tekken fans can also say, "what?! She's not in Tekken, but made it all the way to SFV!"

He already was in SFxT. If there are guest characters in a mainline SF I'd like them to be from other Capcom games, like Final Fight games or Rival Schools.

a lot of the tekken cast movesets in sfxt was so great. it would be a shame if all those mechanics died with that game.

The best part of this whole thing is the official "canon" of how Akuma is in the game was basically the result of Mago kicking Daigo's ass in Tekken 7 which lead to Harada being able to drug Ono so he could get the rights to use Akuma.
I hope they put the sketch on youtube... what they did to Ayano was hilarious

You think so? I think it looks pretty bad, but it might just be because Akuma's an ugly guy.oh god... why does Namco's Akuma look waaaaay so much better than all the SFV models using the the same engine.

Swapping to MvC rules for KOs (all must die) likely helps solve a lot of the Time Out issues they had, since you can now balance damage around it.

No thanks
SFxT needs shorter combos and higher damage, and shorter round timer, like 40 seconds.
It needs to imitate the TTT style of rounds. Super short and brutal.
No pandora, and of course, time stopping during most of the super animation.

I would take Heihachi or Kazuya in a heartbeat for SFV.
Kazuya going Devil in V-Trigger. Mmm.

Tekken characters in SFxT are legit
I'd take Kuma (no such thing as enough grapplers, especially when Kuma is the best SF grappler) or Steve

oh god... why does Namco's Akuma look waaaaay so much better than all the SFV models using the the same engine.
Tekken's backgrounds are very different with a lot more open space and probably don't use the same level of resources as a more dense background, so more can be devoted to the characters. Although the backgrounds in the Tekken trailer look quite good.
SFV is starting to look less and less attractive to me over time too. The backgrounds are kinda running it visually for me. 30 fps visuals in a fighting game background are not good.
MKX's x-ray are 30-fps, but are more tolerable, because they're fairly rare close-up cutaways and more stylized, but having so much of the background run in 30 fps with choppy animations during the whole match is not a good look.
Yo, hold this Electric God Wind Fist tho.
Whoa, no thank you. I personally wouldn't.

A lot of the Tekken characters were really great in SFxT but it's just that the engine wasn't very fun imo. Would love to see something more like CvS2 but with SF/Tekken characters since I doubt SNK is up for CvS3........and great, now I'm hyped for a game that will never exist.

He will not be missed. Fucking hate playing Akuma players in SF4.
Yuck
Why would you do anyone else
They gotta use best mishima
Kazuya " i look like satan" mishima
oh god... why does Namco's Akuma look waaaaay so much better than all the SFV models using the the same engine.
Why does tekken 7 look way better than sf5, its an art style thing. Brian fury's and Xou's new outfit styles on everyone's redesigns in 5.
Can we trade geif for king.
Can we just remove geif and put king in, i think that works out better for everyone.

SFxT was shit, the universe don't mix, MK vs SF or VF vs Tekken are better suited universe.

You can't possibly think that MK vs SF is a better idea than SF Vs Tekken.
MK vs SF is the least compatible match of any crossover.
Absolutley no fucking way. Guest characters in ANYTHING should never be considered, ever.
Uh... what? Street Fighter and Tekken are suited for each other just fine. The Tekken characters fit perfectly into SFxTK.
