Birdie doesn't really look older to me, just fatter.
Bison and Dhalsim don't look older to you?
Nash is literally rotting away!
You can't attack donuts the way Birdie does and come away unscathed sadly.
Bison's hair has turned white, while Dhalsim had grown a scraggly beard. Physically, they both look identical and haven't changed much. Aside from his frankenstein body parts, Nash looks the same, as well.
Not too mich time has passed between IV and V since the gap between 2 and 3 is only a few years. The cast is made up of charcters who train regularly, itMs not like they'd let themselves go when their main goal/career involves being in shape.
Edit: Even characters with very little changes got some agong/visual difference. Gief is showing age lines and Ryu's face looks older/less round for example.

Black don't crack.
Thats the US Air Force uniform without the coat.
Is the Air Force service dress just dress blues with a jacket?
Flight jacket alt would be cool.

Karin looks alot older. She went from a school girl to an adult women between the alpha games and sfv.
I would actually chalk that up to an art style change and higher fidelity. Honestly none of the cast to me look older except Karin.

Vega gets full on overhaul, and Guile gets a super retro stance. I have no idea what to expect out of Boxer.
The dream.
I'd be okay with this
We already have EX moves that do something similar.

I really like Guile, I really do...
but there are too many blonde fighters in this game.

People who stay in shape don't age as poorly unless they go all the way over the hill and turn into shriveled mummies.
And basically any character in SF should be in amazing shape to reasonably be surviving punch-ups with dudes like Ryu who just train 24/7. Ono's chubby-chasing aside.

You can always do survival for Guile colors without blonde hair!

Pretty "by the numbers".
Project Dolphin busy? Capcom should let those guys just cover everything.

I wonder if this is the free stage for the season pass owners

"Free" ? I would hope the season pass includes everything being released for 2016. Free ain't what it used to be...
It is.

You can't buy stages with real money. And the stage wasn't originally included with the season pass. Just 6 characters and their premium costumes until they added this stage much later down the line. So yes, its free for season pass owners.
It is indeed! This is probably my favorite incarnation of guile, due in no small part to that music and the classic stance! He looks so badass, lets hope his va isn't too corny!

It's been Krauser's Music since FF2
Like I've been stating these past months, I'm still hoping that we'll get all the stages shown in the character art, i.e. Mika's, Necalli's, FANG's, Rashid's and possibly Ryu and Birdie's depending on whehter their art shows parts of the current Kanzuki estate and London Railway stages or not (or whether they'll open up those offscreen parts of the current stages or not with actual transitions). Getting all the currently seen stage variants - and hopefully more - also seems like a safe bet at this point.
Regarding Guile's stage: I'd never thought I'd say this as one of the biggest stage-focused people here, but while I appreciate them releasing a new stage so soon, I'm not sold on the fact that they're actually straight up lifting an old stage from SFII without at least updating it so that it reflects the newer time period used in SFV. The plane should have been replaced with a newer model for instance, as should the radio.
As it is, this stage doesn't really make any sense apart from being a nostalgic throwback, a time capsule or a museum piece, while it could have been an actually updated and used military airfield that makes sense in the current SFV world. Nitpicky? Perhaps, but that's how I feel as someone who values artistic consistency and freshness over the safety of nostalgia.
That said, if throwback stages are now a (nostalgia driven) necessity, why not bring back Balrog's Vegas stage as well now that his new outfit clearly hams up the bling and posession focused prize fighter side of his character? A new iteration of Sagat's Thailand stage would also be cool, though they probably should wait till he becomes DLC.

They have said it is free for Season Pass holders on the blog.

Just want to point out that the plane absolutely should not be a newer model. The F-16 is still in standard use by the USAF, and will be until at least the mid 2020's. There isn't really a newer model to replace it. The only other multi-role fighter used by the US is the F/A-18, which is used by the Navy, not the USAF.
Ibuki's American? Since when?

I think he means alex, guile, boxer (who I think is next).
I see. I'm doubtful that this was the main reason for keeping it but thanks for pointing this out. Not to veer too far off-topic but what about the F-22 Raptor then, developed by the USAF? Has it not replaced the F-16 either?
Holy shit, like a boss!
Theme seems like a reflection of how far Guile has come in the series.

you really think they're considering nationalities when releasing characters?

The USAF does use F-22s as well, but they have different roles. The F-16 is a multi-role fighter, while the F-22 is an Air Superiority Fighter. F-22s would be primarily used for air to air combat, while F-16's are used for combat/recon/electronic warfare ect. The F-22 is also much more expensive, resulting in just under 200 planes being built, compared to the 4,500+ F-16s that have been produced. The F-16 and the F-22 should both be replaced by the F-35 Lightning sometime next decade, if they ever get that thing working properly, but as of right now the F-16 will probably be the primary fighter of the USAF until the mid 2030s.

well there is hobo Ryu, and Bison has gray hair..
maybe they just wanted to have the food related v-skills.
I don't care about 3 Americans in a row but I really hoped it's not 2 charge characters in a row..... unless they change boxer to non-charge character.
