Balrog's hairline is there on the left. Alex's boots are on the right side. That wasn't made up by the guys who drew the lines- it's shaded in. They just screwed up the names. They're the two on the USA stage for a reason.
 
Why wouldn't they put in Decapre again?
Doing a new doll lets them start fresh with a new design. Decapre is kind of a troll character playstyle-wise and would be a rough fit given SFV's casual-friendly aims. At this point we've seen 3/12, might as well keep doing them and make it a tradition.
 
I feel like there's a chance for an Abel/Seth hybrid character. It just kills like 8 birds with 1 stone.

Somehow, I don't doubt the possibility.


Any guesses on Wave 2?

I wish.

I'm pretty sure the shading is deliberate to throw people off.

I always thought the hairline only looked like Balrog's hairline due to undergoing photoshop's blur.
 
I hope after one year they have streamlined the DLC development process that if they force a Tekken character in, it's a bonus 7th character, and doesn't take up one of the potential 6 SF slots.

I strongly doubt that S2+ will be only 6 characters.
 
I don't know why, but I feel Akuma (obviously), Rose and Maki are for sure for the 2nd wave of DLC characters. If Kazuya/Heihachi happened, I would totally be okay with it becoming a thing.

With wave 3, when it happens, for sure Haggar.

Akuma won't go in until TxSF launches.

Him being T7 timed-exclusive is important. Ditto/vice versa for any Tekken guests in SFV.

Originally I saw the eyes and thought Alex, but the "hairline" did make me think Balrog. Same thing on the right, head and face made me think Urien at first, but the boots threw it off. I'm still not totally sure of what I'm seeing in those silhouettes, but whatever, as long as they look good in full.

Santamu pls
Capcom

pls

I really want Rose as she is my Ultra main. She probably has a decent chance because she plays different than most and is female, although she's not as popular as Sakura.

However, I don't know if we would get both Sagat and Sakura though, and I think Sagat is very likely.

I think Maki will replace Guy when final fight characters come. Cody is too popular and has no real replacement, while Guy and Maki are sort of similar (both ninjas) even though they may not play too similar..
 
Final fight dlc pack season 2. Though season 2 is probably Akuma, Sakura, Tekken Guy/Gal, + 3 more.
Sagat and Blanka were mentioned as two missing characters that Ono knows people want to see.

I doubt we'd get Sakura because that's a lot of shotos, and the only reason Sagat isn't there already is because of gameplay variety.

Sakura is a prime candidate for a redesign. Not just because of shoto oversaturation, but because she'd be, what, a 30-year-old schoolgirl at this point?

I feel like Rose is guaranteed. She will only disappear if her and Bison have a final showdown. Then they'll retcon it anyway.

or they totally don't have to, and there will just be 3 ninja in the video game, and that's ok. Considering by the end of this odds are we will have a bunch of shoto's and Gen-fu's ( Gen, chun li, yun, yang, and maybe rufus) at the end of this. Along with the bunches of wrestlers were are problably going to get.

3 ninjas is fine.
 
i wonder what makoto would be like in a game where everyone already does makoto-esque stun.

Everytime she dashes near you, your stun goes up.

Everytime she grabs you , your whole stun bar goes up.

Or just 3rd strike

also if she does come back

Bring back 1, make 2 and 4 on the top row real. And make the yellow one at the bottom with the hood real.

1 & 4 are so good
 
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";190389536]So basically schoolgirl or the same costume without her top on? Come on now.[/QUOTE]

I like the , " the top of my Gii is basically a waist shirt " look. I think ken looks rad because of it. Give her like an actual underhirt, but I want the waist gi thing. ryu's 1st alt in this game and the last game is just that. Its simple and is effective.
Jackets around the waist or Gi is something I can get behind design

Like I hope lucky cloe in t7 gets this as an alt.

While 2 and 4 are super cool, I really wouldn't want to hear the torrent of complaints that would come if they gave Makoto, of all characters, a default outfit that showed skin.

^See, people are already bristling at the idea.
 
Wave 2 predictions

First of all i expect 7 characters instead of 6 in 2017 as we have January and February for DLC where I'm 2016 the game releases mid February so having less is fine for 2016

Akuma
Fan favourite character. This is basically guaranteed and the fact he will be in Tekken 7 would be such a dick move if Capcom don't bring him in SFV Wave 2

Sagat or Blanka
I think we will get 1 popular World Warrior for Wave 2. It's a toss up between the above, however if 1 doesn't make it in he will likely be there for Wave 3

Sakura
Another massive fan favourite. It's obvious she will return with a nice redesign

Maki or Sodom
I think Capcom will pull another Birdie and pull out another under appreciated Alpha character which will surprise fans why Capcom chose to bring back the character

Dudley
A fan favourite Third Strike character

Oro or Q
I think both Urien and Alex will be successful popular characters for Wave 1. And I expect Capcom will attempt another 3rd Strike character that didn't appear in SFIV series.

Someone outside of GAF mentioned legal issues surrounding Q. Wouldn't that screw him out of this game?
 
What legal issues?
From what I was told by a friend (who apparently did research on the matter, & whom I trust), there may have been legal issues concerning Q looking like Robot Detective K.

It's not inside info or anything, it was just research on his end.

Really? Would be interested to hear about that.
As far as I know, only legal issues are for characters like Skullomania and Ingrid.

edit: whoops, read reply above.
I doubt this is the case nowadays.
