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

This really needs to happen , the low res BG characters just stick out so bad. WTF its like they were literally ported from SF4.

but worse. At least those animate smoothly.

I really like the Africa stage with all the animals and the construction stage in Ultra. Those would look like crap in SFV. I'm really scared to see Dhalsim's stage in the game with all those characters.
 
After Akuma's appearance in Tekken 7 and not in SFV, can we expect the same for Sagat?

You know, I'm kind of glad Sagat isn't in SFV...
In SFIV he was kind of my go to crutch in tournament play... "Argh! You beat my Ibuki, well I'll just crush you with my Sagat then..." And I usually felt really bad about it.
 
Whatever happens to the background npcs at least they will never be as distracting as the T-rexes on the Jurassic World stage in Ultra.

God that shit is disorienting

Seriously!
I mean guys who can throw fireballs from their hands, dudes who can stretch their body parts crazy distances, sumo wrestlers who can jump 10 feet into the air, and big breasted ladies who can emit lightning: All 100% okay.

Dinosaurs: Get the fuck right out.

I like the dinosaurs. T^T

No I'm not joking.

I'm trying to track my opponent's jump arc and all of a sudden a giant ass dinosaur head swings around and practically swallows him up and then another guy in the background falls onto the car and bounces off and then I'm getting hit

Fuck outta here.

The rest I can deal with tho and I don't have anything in principle against Dinosaurs.

I am no anti-Dinosaur

Don't misrepresent me :P

What about that scary-ass hippo that charges at you on that other stage?
 
I didn't really notice it until people pointed it out. Now it's jarring... Just cut out like half the people and make them 60 fps,no one cares about stages having that many NPCs...

Sorry :(

Yeah, it really is. In the corner in front of Karin's butler it almost looks like an FMV background.

I'm just glad I'm not alone so more people speak up on it and they address it.
 
Does anyone know if:

1) You get the Chun alt costume by preordering on Steam?

and

2) If you preorder there will you somehow get access to the costume on PS4 as well? (like through a Capcom account or something?)
 
1- yes

2- no the game is not cross-buy

Don't think they mean cross buy, they mean "shared account". Like you have 1 capcom account you login with no matter where you are playing at and it has all your unlocked/bought DLC tied to it. That way if you buy the game on Steam and PS4 you don't have to double dip on DLC too.

Yeah this. Since the Chun costume seems to be on both Steam and PSN preorders I'm wondering if I could preorder on Steam for the Chun Costume and then preorder one of the PS4 physical copies for another costume and have both costumes useable for both games.

Or else how do you get the Sexy Ryu costume in the PC version?

It's not cross-buy... that goes for the game and DLC. The pre-order DLC will go on sale individually at some point after launch.

EDIT- Eventhubs put up an interview that basically confirms this-

We also asked if players who owned both PC and PS4 versions of SF5 would be able to link their accounts into a single profile that would maintain points between both platforms.

"No. Due to the different account systems inherent to Steam and PSN, separate profiles will need to be created for players who decide to play on both platforms," said Capcom's Senior Public Relations Manager, Jason Andersen.
 
fang theme is pretty rad


i like the little bossa nova arrangement part

its weird to have a bossa nova section for the singaporean dude and not the brazilian girl tho...
 
Zangief's is good, but almost sounds too serious, lol. The pride of his nation, Protector of the Russian Skies. ;_;7

Laura's is... really underwhelming, holy shit. This one is weak as hell; sounds like an Ultra Street Fighter 4 stage theme. :/

The intro to Dhalsim's theme almost reminds me of Hot Wind from EX, and then it goes on to sound like a track from Billy Hatcher.

Hot damn, F.A.N.G's theme is excellent from the get go. That'll make fighting the bastard a lot more tolerable, heh.
 
looks like the new encryption was cracked... will let you guys know what I find

I'm actually kinda not happy about it... they should have sat on the key until the final game- now Capcom will encrypt the game again even harder... we're going to land up with Denuvo at this rate

Chun and Karin files are there... so expect them to show up

edit- Rashid is there too... seems like FANG is the only one sitting out the Beta since we know Gief and Sim are coming by update

During an interview with Famitsu, Yoshinori Ono answered a few questions on the upcoming title, Street Fighter V, including why we haven’t seen or heard of Sagat yet. [Thanks, Hachima.]

Why Sagat Won’t Be Appearing:

“It’s because there are many characters that perform similarly. For this launch and its next update, we wanted to have a good balance of characters. Since we didn’t want to just blindly increase the number of characters, it was a bitter decision that had to be made.”

“I understand that there are also many who wish to see other characters besides Sagat, such as Blanka and more. There’s a possibility that we may add more characters in some form later, so please look forward to that.”


What Was The Plan Behind Announcing 6 Additional Characters At Once?:

“After thinking about post-launch services and looking at it from an e-sports point of view, I don’t think that it would be fair [for players] to not know which characters will be added, not know which characters to practice, which makes it difficult to properly choose counter-picks. So, we decided to do it that way.

“For the time being, we have no plans on releasing any other characters outside of the six [DLC] characters that we announced.”
 
That Sagat excuse sounds weird. Would have probably preferred no answer or saying it didn't make sense for the initial story.

Having a variety of markedly different characters seems reasonable to me. It's also why we don't have Akuma, Sakura, Dan, and Gouken in the starting roster or first wave of DLC (and why Ken was modified as much as he was).
 
That Sagat excuse sounds weird. Would have probably preferred no answer or saying it didn't make sense for the initial story.

Why would you not want them to answer or not tell the truth? Sagat can be considered similar to Ryu and Ken and they wanted more variety in the fixed number of characters planned. Can't get everyone in at once. Totally reasonable and believable. Nothing gained by fabricating some reason when this jives with what most people thought.

it really doesn't because Sagat has been different in gameplay historically. like, cvs2 sagat and sf4 sagat are POLAR opposites.
 
I love everything about the game but those awful stages...seriously why does every stage have to have these ugly looking NPC in the background? Moving at 30fps? Can we just get 3 or 4 beautiful scenery stages Capcom? No hippos no horses, no elephants, or dinosaurs. Just a snow stage, an autumn stage, and mountain side view etc...junk is annoying. MK releasing a year earlier is gonna outclass the stages? Come on Capcom wizards, put that Ps4 to work!
