Cool my girl Juri coming back. At least one of them is.

I'm definitely going to buy it. After that, all the saved up in-game mula can be used for wave 2, so I'll be pretty prepared by then.
That's actually an amazing idea.
Eh. I'll just go ahead and try to grind it out.
To be fair, we thought Akuma was a given for Wave 1.
6 most popular charactesr world wide (based on an almost 2 year old poll) not already confirmed for DLC (ignoring final fight and cammy clones and Ingrid because screw that character) -
Akuma
Sakura
Sagat
Q
Dudley
Blanka

I think it's pretty safe to say that season 2 of DLC will have at least Akuma Sagat and Sakura in it , possibly even Q if there isn't legal problems. That leaves 2 other spots and the small issue that currently 3 of those characters are basically shoto's so the other 2-3 better be something quite a bit different - Dudley and Blanka kind of fit that bill but In Japan Makoto got voted 4th place so ... who knows.
I'm in the camp that thinks we might get 8 characters added in 2017 but I also think that 2 of them will be brand new which means there's also a chance of the brand new characters taking the place of an old favorite - perhaps instead of Sagat we get Sagats understudy ? and I don't mean Adon. I'd still love to see a character that takes inspiration from Raid/Raid 2's Rama , he used Puket Silat style , I can picture that translating into a couple of rekka's and a command grab in street fighter with a very fast paced character.
Personally I still feel like Akuma is in the game as a hidden boss that they simply haven't revealed yet which should make him easy to add in at some point but who knows right ? My reasoning behind the no final fight thing is that I feel Ono wants this game to remain pure SF for a little while at least. Perhaps year 3 will offer final fight ? There's enough there to fill up a season of DLC - Cody, Guy, Hugo, Poison, Rolento and Maki.
Going forward I think Capcom also wants to increase the number of women in SFV , the cast currently has 5/16 women and the DLC is 2/6 for a total of 7/22 which is about a third ! that's a small improvement over any previous entry. I'd expect any season passes going forward will have a similar ratio - 2/6 or 3/8 even.
Have Sakura, Akuma and Sagat (or a protege of Sagat) would still keep that 1/3 ratio intact so the other 3 potential characters could still be Dudley, Blanka and Makoto.
I guess we'll all find out in time.

But then comes the issue of there potentially being too many shoto-esque characters in one wave. I can't see us getting Akuma, Sakura, & Sagat all in one wave. One of them would have to be held back for Wave 3. As for Akuma being the hidden boss, he would have leaked already if he was. Plus the teaser for the full opening was setting up Necalli as the final boss.
I will. I don't have the time to grind things out anymore and I'm not very good to begin with lol. Also it seems like a pretty good deal since it also comes with costumes. I'll probably save my fight money for more costumes and wave 2 I guess.
I was probably gonna buy it just assuming I'd be too busy to want to grind, but I'm also curious about the costumes tbh
Same. If the Season Pass means I won't have to spend as much on alternate costumes, I'll take it. Plus I've been needing a new PSN avatar, anyway.

Q's V-skill is making the ground shake and tripping the opponent for a hard knockdown, which given his moveset doesn't really add to much...
Yup, this is my plan as well. The premium costumes are a nice incentive too.

Ryu > Ken
I am so confused by this logic (or lack thereof). Final Fight characters have been Street Fighter characters for a very, very long time now. There is no distinction. The series are linked. Seven of the last nine Street Fighter games have had Final Fight characters in them. It is dumb to say that a Street Fighter game is less "pure" because of their inclusion.
Hopefully we see a lot of them make it into wave 2; they are some of the best Street Fighter characters around.
I want Sodom, Haggar, Maki and Damnd.
In all honesty, I love most of them. I would love to see Haggar make it in (I was sorta hoping he would replace Gief). I am a huge fan of Cody and Guy, but I would actually be cool if we got Lucia and Maki first. They could have them play like a new twist on Cody and Guy. That would be awesome.
Sodom obviously is due for a return.
I think his V-Skill should be his taunt pose that adds armor to his next dash punch, giving him the ability to safely get in while his EX dash punches still get additional properties like causing a wall bounce.

I don't think Sodom would return because I don't think many would pay for him.. Birdie returned in the OG roster because people didn't have to pay for him exclusively..

Capcom confirmed they're redesigning Balrog/Boxer, just like they did with Vega, in this interview: http://www.4gamer.net/games/283/G028399/20151222170/
They should make his alt 1 from IV be his default (it did lol like he had a hood
on in the silhouette). I hope they don't redesign Juri but I guess even if they do there will be a classic costume...

kickBoxer incoming?
I have a hunch they're talking more than just a simple costume change. Making him a motion-base character or a hybrid can also be a possibility. But who knows.

Wouldn't exactly surprise me seeing as half of the core roster was given re-designs or at least some modifications of their usual designs.
We can very well expect any character to get a new makeover, though then again Ryu, Chun-Li, R. Mika and Zangief didn't. But those were 4 characters from the core roster.
Stone Ocean

I hope not, I really like the more defensive style that his charge motions bring.
Pls no. There's Dudley for that.
Cindi Mayweather
Member
Balrog without charge would be awful.
Both R.Mika and Zangief got pretty good makeovers. Visually it was minimal, gameplay wise it was a big departure.
His turn punch is going to be changed for sure.
Stone Ocean
Member
Hopefully it just means they'll flesh out his dash moves more and give him some new tools to go with them. Dirty Bull as a command grab, anyone?
Strider_Blaze
Member
Reading your comment and the previous ones, you make good points. I always consider redesigning a characters as a visually changing their designs rather than gameplay as well.
CountBlack
Member
Probably. He had a command throw in his omega version as well

Why wouldn't it?
It'll probably turn out more or less of what you're saying. Keeping him charge based, but make him slightly more flashy.

My list (starting this year they'd include 8 chars per season):
- Akuma (also unlockable by beating him, added as secret boss)
- Sagat
- Sakura (redesigned + classic alt)
- Geki (redesign to make sure doesn't look like a claw clone)
- Oro (moveset would be more similar to SF standards)
- Crimson Viper
- Maki
- Haggar
You and me both.
Good, I hope he is more Floyd Mayweather than Mike Tyson!

How boring. A playstyle to do nothing but run out the timer from the get-go.

Good, maybe he'd stop looking like a buffoon and stereotype this time around. Do you have a link of someone who has translated this? I want to be sure and not just go off your word.
Pretty sure they mean game play redisgn, though I guess he won't be wearing his boxing attire.
He looks pretty much the same as always in his Statue on the Shadowloo stage. Actually he looks more closer to his A3 look.
Not surprising, but it's nice to receive confirmation form Capcom. I can't wait to see how they overhaul Balrog.
