Street Fighter V - Ibuki reveal

So is Ibuki a charge character? I wanna play her but I'm awful with charge characters and hope she isn't. :/

If Ibuki is anything like her former self which it seems like, she will not be a charge character. Unless they implement a few changes to her though, imo she can be one of the trickier characters to properly play though.

Yay! Thanks!

Edit - also, any word on when she'll be out?

I'm guessing early June? Maybe mid June? We have been getting new chapters at the end of each month, so hopefully really soon. Absolute latest I would assume would be at the end of June or early July.

She's the MAY character. I think she'll be released tomorrow on Tuesday.
 
She's a schoolgirl at this point in the story. It isn't all that weird.

If Sakura is still in a school uniform, that's when things get creepy.

SF timeline is meaningless.
 
Good shit. Can't wait to see the finished product.

A lot of the old team is back. I was mostly the content creator but not maker of most of the theory, that was all mingodynasty (who's back) for the unblockables etc.

I set up a GoFundMe to help this happen but I don't want to post the link here. If anyone does want to help, PM me.

I foresee a lot of sleepless nights ahead of me.
 
Sakura's schoolgirl outfit in Story Mode is likely an alt given Karin is wearing her alt. I mean, yeah has to be. No way is Capcom going to give her the exact same outfit like she's not Ryu, I refuse to believe it, and Sakura's Cammy's age and yet she's still dressed like that. Might as well slap the character because she keeps getting hurt by stupid shit like this.

They better do the right thing and give her an actual fighting uniform. Give her the red top and some gi pants and she'll be good. None of that schoolgirl sailor shit.

Besides that it's smart as a business strategy to put that schoolgirl uniform as her alt or even in a downloadable DLC costume pack because people will damn sure buy it.
 
I'm hopeful that's just her alt outfit. If they actually try giving that to her as her main...

They're probably gonna do it, lol. New Guile & Ibuki were seen in the story mode bits that took place in the present (wouldn't be surprised if Juri will look like that too). That scene with Sakura is in the present too IIRC, so I'm betting if she shows up that'll be her stock.

My thinking is that if they were gonna redesign her, they would've done it already even if she wasn't first-string DLC (i.e. Decapre/Viper).
 
Not really looking forward to having to deal with her bs for another game..esp. since I play a slow character. Oh well, gotta learn to deal with it.
 
Looks cool, not usually a fan of Ibuki. Looks a little slower than usual, though. I'm sure people have said this, but she looked Naruto as FUCK.
 
Maybe it's just the video, but did Capcom fire most of their animators or something? Her animation looks so soulless/robotic.

Ah well, still glad to get a new character who isn't another buff male dude. I really liked using Ibuki back in New Generation.
