Street Fighter V - Ibuki reveal

abstract alien said:
I actually feel like her new costume has more of a "street fighter" look than the original(which I still love). It feels more like they took a traditional outfit and made it into a battling suit, similar to Chun and her spiked bracelets or Vega with a mask and claw. I know everyone doesn't follow that, but I find it more in line with the theme than her SF3/4 get up.

Agree... im digging her new outfit too.

Also gives me hope that the next time we see Sakura in this game she'll have a new outfit as well.

They talked of "surprises" in June, not July.

But "surprises" means nothing in regards to SFV when we consider its current state, the details they already planned for it, what still isn't available, and the fact that an Ibuki reveal trailer was a "surprise."

Announcent at E3 then? That's in June.

I mean, all the characters in the 'current' timeline in the story prologues have been their default outfits. That, plus Ono basically saying Sakura's a school-girl for life, leads me to believe she's still gonna be in her school girl outfit.

Whats the big deal anyway about Sakura's outfit? Its just her iconic outfit at this point. Other than 'female ryu', that schoolgirl outfit is her entire character.

So it's not just one bomb, she can throw multiple as long as the gauge is active. Throw in the 3 different timings, and wheww. Alot of potential there. He says that you can set them off in other ways too (a kunai?).

Also her V-Trigger is 3 bars but can be used multiple times?



Multiple bombs can be thrown or maybe only one allowed on the screen?

Oh god. Well, at least the bomb toss is pretty slow/floaty, so I dunno if she'd be able to properly set up more than one for oki even off a hard knockdown.

I don't think they do a lot of damage based on this pic.

Welp, 20 hours left to go until it's June in Japan. I bet they're delaying her release until the story mode patch.

Again, nothing and I repeat NOTHING is based on Japan's time zone involving Street Fighter V.
It is all handled out of the US
 
Her boots and her gloves look cool and I expect she'll still have a nice flashy, combo-rific fighting style. I hate the school girl look though... and her hair. I always hated her bizarre hair. I'd have much preferred a sexy ninja look instead.
If Capcom could only push her design in the direction of Mai or Kasumi :)

She's 15.
 
I dont really like the school ninja outfit mix. Is she still in school?

EDIT: oh, she is still, damm

What about they guy she met on the school, he is a ninja too
 
She looks so awesome!

But Capcom called her a technical character - that means she's hard, right? I need to get better at fighting games.

She wasn't easy to use in IV or III, what with super jump cancels in her combos, and here she has an extra meter (kunai) as well having her V-Trigger act as a bomb to continue combos. She seems like she'll be one of the most challenging characters to use in V.

Actually, Ibuki's age has never been revealed as far as I know...as with most of the SF3 cast.

She's a high school/college student during our exposure to her.

I think the only SF3 character with an actually defined age was Elena, who was supposedly 17 during Second Impact.

Since SF2 and Alpha, they really don't define ages very much anymore.
 
Apparently Winner Stays On airs at 3 PM EST and Guile was released 10 PM EST so it's not like launch will overlap with that session. I can't find a time when Alex was released, though.

Naruto is the most famous ninja-related media, so people are going to associate unrelated ninja characters with Naruto no matter what. I remember people saying "OMG NARUTO!" when Greninja was revealed for Smash Bros. as well.

Nobody calls Scorpion,Subzero,RyuHayabusa or Strider as Naruto. Ibuki has some changes which blatantly reference Naruto. That music sounds like it was just ripped from Naruto.

I remember back in my day when it was Ninja Scroll, Ninja Gaiden or Sho Kosugi that was the first thing in Ninjas

What changes? Pretty much everything in the trailer is inspired by Ibuki's traditional moveset or stereotypical ninja stuff.

The music sounds like it was ripped from...a wide variety of classic Japanese inspired media..

It's like when people see Izuna Drops and credit those to Rock Lee just because Rock Lee is all they know.

I've seen people try to claim that Liger Bombs came from Naruto, because that's all they know.

Enough is enough.

I meant as a playable character. How she shows up in the single player as of right now is pretty meaningless i feel if its not an official appearance in the roster

She's still wearing the school outfit in the story mode. I don't think there's any reason to think she won't if she gets added to the playable roster.

Theres no reason to think she won't keep the exact same outfit while everyone else gets new costumes? Makes no sense to me guy, literally zero people besides ryu and chun have kept their original appearances

My bet is she will be wearing her red tracksuit jacket and bike shorts
 
Hex said:
Love that reaction.
Real fucking love, real fucking people instead of the horse shit on the internet and hating..

There were actually like two assholes booing that it wasn't Balrog, and you can kinda hear them at the end of the video... but it's very clear that wasn't the group consensus.

My favorite part is that the girl hopping up and down excitedly at the end is SlimeTime, a player that mained Ibuki during USF4. Cool to see that she's pumped to have her girl back.

Zangief looks pretty much just like he always has.

Ibuki herself making a surprise appearance at the end.

You wouldn't see reactions like this from an E3 crowd for an SFV character reveal unless it was someone completely out of left field, though.
Click to expand...

Yeah, definitely a different crowd @ E3. Though I don't think a trailer would make a splash even if it was an unexpected fan favorite.
 
I wonder if people will see the Chun references in Juri. They basically are light/dark reflections of each other. Bipson killed their dads,spike bracelets, they kick lots, both want Ryu hair buns ect.
