oh my lord I hope we get at least one of these costumes as an alt for Birdie

Impression I got from his art/gimmick is that he's originally supposed to be from Dubai but they didn't want to specify one for whatever (probably political) reason.

there is no Political reason for it (Tekken went and said Shaheen is from SA) more then likely they are just keeping it secret for his story in the game
 
Finally preordered this today.
I'm not holding my breath but it would be amazing if they could get Skullomania in this :)
I'll settle for Remy though

I'm not sure we'd get a thinner Birdie because doesn't his V-Trigger headbutts have a hitbox on his protruding gut as he dashes in? Then again, hitboxes never had to match the animation before.

They could just make an energy representation of the force around his gut as he dashes in.
 
Here's what appears to be a super-early build of the game. Interesting enough, it has Hot Ryu, a completely different look for M. Bison, a different HUD design, & what could be a variant of the background of F.A.N.G.'s artwork.

Just ordered the steelbook edition of this, loved Street Fighter games previously, but I have just watched this video, is it just me or do the hands & feet look out of proportion to the rest of the body?

Street Fighter V Tutorial Gameplay Video

:/

So I haven't heard, but someone please tell me those images are just place holders? that can't be what they will ship right? it looks like storyboards which I really hope is what it is and not the final version.

It's the final version.

Not sure why we should give a fuck about what a basic tutorial looks like ?
 
Is there any serious technical advantage of buying digital vs. physical?

I'm guessing that the disc gets a full install onto the HD, so there would be no material difference in load time, hardware wear etc?

The disc is coming in at over £10 cheaper, and I'll doubt I'll play another disc game for months so getting off the sofa to disc swap isn't an issue :) But conversely, I can't imagine selling it on, so the disc has less value from normal in that sense..

I don't think there is. I'm also not sure when they release the game digitally in U.K. so you may not get the game a few hours earlier before it's released at your game store, but that's also a small benefit.

Thanks for your answer - and great point - I hadn't considered the digital release date being anything but midnight.. I've had pre-release (by one day) shipments from Tesco and Game so I'll scan both for their offers (Game currently cheapest, Tesco not currently listing), and check for the nearest stores..

How did you live through Alpha 3? Bengus's SFV work is very reminiscent of his art in that game.

 
Speaking of Fight Names in game, are we doing anything to notate we are fighting fellow GAF folks online?

Not sure if others would be aboard that unless Capcom hasn't showcased a "clan" feature yet that will be in the retail game to let us have that by our fight name.

Are you saying this just based off the tutorial images because his recent output overall is still very much good.

I didn't like the SF Alpha Anthology cover art either, and that's 10 years old now.
 
I remember that Yoshiki Okamoto came to Brazil to study Capoeira to make a Brazilian capoeirista. Then, he created Elena as an Afrian girl.

Does anybody knows why they changed Elena's nationality to Kenyan?

Probably due to Sean (native brazillian), Oro (ex-pat in Brazil) and Elena (Brazillian martial art) all being in there at the same time.

Well, he could have changed Sean nationality easier than Elena, since capoeira is a Brazilian martial art, right?

Okamoto never talked about this - as far as I know, I really want to hear what he have to say about this.

Brazilians would love her at the time.
 
Not really sure there's any new info left to get at this point, outside of maybe a stage or two.

Not like they're going to suddenly post frame data or something.
 
because it looks like trash? I just find it hard to believe that they ship it with what looks like bad fanart as the final product.

edit for pic:

What if it's all on purpose
Like over time the art gets better and better as it goes through Ryu's years

Story mode, costumes, stages, plans for Capcom Cup 2016, online features, more matchmaking info, more fight money info (like pricing), PS3 controller support. Capcom also like to do cross media stuff so there might be some comic book, movie pr music release to go along with the release. Maybe a CFN app. There's a lot that they can reveal.
 
The cutscene art is not bad at all.

But that kind of cutscenes always looks bad in videogames, cause every time it is 1000x better to animate the in game models somehow, even if they aren't as expressive as the drawings, cause that creates less separation between gameplay and plot.
