So, are we gonna see more characters this year? ;-)

No, probably not.

 

[SpiceMelange]

I'm thinking about something...

That spanish magazine said that we will see one character/month until september, right?

Well, Capcom said that we will see 6 characters this year. But if they launch every char until september, we will have at least 4 months to build it up fight money to buy the next characters in 2017.

So, it is possible that

a) that magazine got it wrong;
b) capcom will release more than 6 characters this year.

For a business perspective, it makes sense to release one character per month, so the players won't have time to earn enough FIght Money and get the characters from free. I mean it, MOBAs have new characters each 3-4 weeks.

Ok, I guess that MOBAs characters are easier to develop, but I think this time frame is more about marketing thant development time.

So, are we gonna see more characters this year? ;-)

There's other avenues to spend fight money than characters. They could very well focus on new stages/cosmetics/music/announcer packs etc. from october to december.

Did they ever say they wouldn't release more than these six this year?

Doubtful. Capcom Cup is at the end of this year and if this 1 per month thing is true then I gather they'll want all the DLC characters out by then for people to get used to and main by the time CC comes around. We'd probably get news on Wave 2 at CC if this was the case.

 

[jmelons]

Has the OT title been decided? I still like mine.

Street Fighter V |OT| Rise Up. Roll Back. Rage Quit.

The datamine pointed to 7 empty character slots currently in the game, so a 7th bonus character a la Omen/Shadow Jago in KI isn't out of the question.

Should be "just wait for the super edition" based off that other thread lmao

 

[Marvel]

He hasn't been in a game for a little while. You can expect similar responses to the Rufus DLC in SF6.

 

[lucebuce12]

What

Spoiler

I'm not one of them though.

 

[FunkyLounge]

Street Fighter V |OT| Triggered

is by far the best title posted here

 

[Already Torn]

What

"Remember those hype match ups between JWong and Daigo? That kind of stuff is what SF6 is missing, and what SFV was missing as well. We need Rufus back for the hype"

"SPECTACLE ROMANCE

GOODBYE!"

"I hope they don't change his design too much, just give us classic Rufus"

 

[Marvel]

I wonder what Alex's V-Trigger shall be...

 

[Robot Pants]

Street Fighter V |OT| It's Risin' Time! (Ono, no!)

"AMERICA SHEDS A TEAR"

Take a look at this picture, and are you going to tell me that he's not best newcomer in Street Fighter 4 series? EVER?

Spoiler

I don't like to play as him too but I don't really mind him that much tho.

 

[SpiceMelange]

What if Rufus came back as slim Rufus, like slim Bob from Tekken

 

[mbpm1]

He's the best pear in Street Fighter IV by a long shot

 

[Scotia]

What if Rufus came back as slim Rufus, like slim Bob from Tekken

The problem there is that he's still Rufus. Fat or not he's a terrible character.

 

[Ferrio]

What if Rufus came back as slim Rufus, like slim Bob from Tekken

Then you've taken the only thing interesting about him away.

 

[mbpm1]

What if he was the original, black rufus

Then you've taken the only thing interesting about him away.

what about his winning personality, or his hilarious jokes?

Kappa

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Do we know if they're going to do patches, or are characters going to stay as they are?

 

[DR2K]

Id rather he come back as black Rufus. That was a good design.

 

[SpiceMelange]

I love Rufus.

I really like the juxtaposition of him being a 500 pounds idiot who's training is pretty much watching Chinese action movies and yet he's actually nimble and agile as fuck.

I mean if he'd shed the pounds and get some actual training that motherfucker would shit all over the twins

Then you've taken the only thing interesting about him away.

It's far from the only interesting thing about him.

 

[Lulubop]

Kappa

really, this again?

Queue someone posting a his lame ass character design.

I like Rufus tho, but he's no Alex. That said, Titanoboa is a joke poster. I get it.

 

[pineapplepizza]

Holy shit people. Look at this video.
https://youtu.be/QMx2l8EtvdI
It is fucking NUTS how much this game has been improved since it was first announced. No wonder I wasn't really hot on the way it looked initially. Hot damn.

That's the risk of showing early development footage to the public who don't fully understand the stages a product goes through during creation.

 

[Marvel]

There'll be patches. Just not often iirc

 

[robotzombie]

I still believe in mine:|OT| zoning is so 80's

 

[Already Torn]

"AMERICA SHEDS A TEAR"

"RAISE THE ROOOOFUS"

Oh man, I can totally see people just tweeting "America sheds a tear" fan art at Ono in 8 years.

He's like dive kicking Ken

 

[IntelliHeath]

Joking aside, for myself, I still think Hakan is #1 best newcomer for Street Fighter 4 series tho. I know there are some people that don't like his design because his design was freaky weird but that's what made him Street Fighter character to me.

100% in agreement, and he would be perfect in the V system

[Pachimari]

I'm not fond of those big muscly characters. Where's my Makoto, C. Viper, Sean and Poison.

 

[raven777]

Curious if Guile's hairstyle will be a bit different since the silhouette doesn't seem his usual style in some way..

 

[SpiceMelange]

He's facing down, you see the flattop at like a 45 degree angle toward the ground. The little triangle spike in the middle is the top middle of the forehead

 

[Already Torn]

I think we can assume that Sean will be a big muscley character if he ever shows up.

Well yea that could be it.

 

[KidA Seven]

I hope Urien isn't as bulky. He's ripped, but still isn't hulking big like Sagat in Alpha, CvS2, and SF4. Capcom pls. Give him the body sculpted by the gods.

 

[Pachimari]

I think we can assume that Sean will be a big muscley character if he ever shows up.

Being ripped is fine. Like Ken and Ryu, and Sean will probably be like them.

 

[Woody Invincible]

I think we can assume that Sean will be a big muscley character if he ever shows up.

As long as he brings his jump shot.

 

[Ferrio]

I hope Urien isn't as bulky. He's ripped, but still isn't hulking big like Sagat in Alpha, CvS2, and SF4. Capcom pls. Give him the body sculpted by the gods.

What? He's massive, and his build in 3S is very comparable to Sagat.

 

[Scotia]

I forgot to mention it during the time, but I love Sean's new look in Laura's character story (ignoring the art obv.):

 

[KidA Seven]

What? He's massive, and his build in 3S is very comparable to Sagat.

I don't think so. I think he's really ripped, but more similar to SF2 Sagat. There's a difference between that and later Sagats.

 

[pineapplepizza]

Yes he needs that aesthetic physique. Oh and a beard too. Why not?

 

[Lulubop]

Urien is pretty massive, I get what you mean. Alpha Sagat is bulky as fuck.

 

[Ferrio]

I don't think so. I think he's really ripped, but more similar to SF2 Sagat. There's a difference between that and later Sagats.

He's bulky as hell, and premiered in a game called "Giant Attack".

I mean look at that chest

 

[KidA Seven]

Urien

Sagat

There's a difference in my eyes. Urien is clearly ripped, but he isn't as hulking big as Sagat.

That's a misconception I thought. He did train with somebody, or maybe he just travelled the land and kept what worked and jettisoned what didn't. The American Ryu

Never liked this piece, looks like rob liefeld drew it

Rufus is great.

Let's hope he comes back.
