Buying all of sf5's post release outfit doc would still be cheaper than doa5's :v

Her old costume sucked though so it's an improvement.

All this talk of PR Balrog... when Guile came and went with Du and Dieminion not even sticking with the character.
What are the odds Chris G lands up being the best Balrog too...

So I'm watching the Balrog trailer in HD and I can't help but feel he looks crazier than ever. So I slowed the video down. His pupils constantly dart around and change size. It's not terribly important, but a cool little detail nonetheless.

No. I'm more than positive all of Tekken 6's costumes were free while SFIV was charging from the jump.

Hearing this music, and before when I saw the stage, made me realize Balrog's stage is everything for me when it comes to Street Fighter. The first boss, the lights, the crowd, I spent a lot of time being nervous on this stage in SF2. I'm very happy it's in the game, bringing back so many memories.
After 150 "premium" alts SFV will also have $600 worth of DLC baby.
22 after season 1....
lets say s2 adds 6 characters and season 1 characters get another premium set....
That's 50 after the first 2 seasons/years of SFV, we're already a third of the way to hitting that mark...

Well DOA has years of costumes. Hopefully SFV will follow and make more outfits. At least in SFV (SO FAR) every character at least gets an alternate and not just cherry pick the best selling characters.
I really hope Juri keeps her fireball, storing and angles. Oh and give her wake up options this time Capcom, luckily this game is pretty balanced so far.
I'm talking about newer and current games.
Tekken 7 has paid cosmetic DLC right now in arcades, and after Tekken 6 and Tag 2 bomba on the console sell through front. Tekken will not be going back to the old days. Namco is not a charity.
Tekken 7 dlc is also seasonal and event based, it comes and goes.

SFV is going to be so good once it's finished

Yeah I really hated when Capcom started charging for alt costumes in SF4 when other fighting games just had them in the game as unlocks through gameplay or just a button press. That was a losing battle though, times changed, people didn't care, and happily spent money on horse armor. Now we unlock colors, but thank goodness we can grind to unlock characters if we choose to. It'll probably be impossible to unlock every character that way for most people. I still have a lot of story mode characters to do, and a ton more survival challenge characters to do so I should have enough for one character easily.

PR has been frustrated with Necalli for a while now so I think he'll stick it out with Balrog even if he struggles with him initially. Necalli is just a dead end for him.

I'll take the latex catsuit over cleavage any day. Also willing to bet the cleavage costume is still in as an alt or another costume to yet be seen in it's place.
I'm expecting it to be a great game by this time next year, so hopefully Capcom keeps supporting it for months to come and start addressing even the little things, because they pile up.
Define finished. Because if you mean the complete roster, you may be waiting 5 or so years.
I know how he feels. I've been really frustrated with Birdie. I'm decent with him online (Super Gold), but once you start fighting higher level players, he gets bopped easily. Birdie was just a standby until Balrog came out. Now, I can finally be free come Friday. I'm rocking Balrog until the wheels fall off.
Dang, why'd the update have to hit on Friday? Was planning on visiting my folks for the fourth weekend.
Of all the SP chars, Rog is the one I'm most comfortable with (based on how they played before), so it should be nice to dabble with him
Most looking forward to those proposed matchmaking improvements. Everything sounded like it was for ranked/casual, but I *really* hope Battle Lounges get something.
EDIT:
I think they just need to add some reverb to him. That's what stuck out most about his & Gill's voice imo.

I feel like you are missing the point...

4 years of DLC vs 4 months. Each costume/character on average about the same price. It's only a matter of time and support.

PR Balrog... the guy who retires like once a year... is going to commit and stick with it? Nah... we'll see how long he lasts with no headbutt.

just hope the japanese voice is better since there are 2 voices for each character 1eng and 1jpn

SFV will be supported for 5 years lol
Capcom already said that they're staying the course for their initial long-term plans for the game. Plus that's about the amount of time Capcom supports the other Street Fighter games.
Sure, but I was particularly hoping they'd nail his English voice since, y'know, 3rd Strike. Especially after they did a reasonably goob job with Alex's voice.
Oh well.
I have to wonder if next year each character will get another costume and new characters will get 3 costumes and so on...
I still hope they fix Survival and/or do something to give players options on how to get colors to where they don't have to grind shit.

Juri's design looked soooooo bad in the artwork. Gland it looks better in-game.

7 years if were lucky. I kinda want Capcom to just drop support just so people will stop complaining. I already got my main characters im good.
7 years is probably the maximum limit (with 5 years likely being the minimum), since I think that's how long SFIV was supported.

Amazing trailer, Balrog looks insane. Really love his theme too which I assume is his character theme and not the stage theme like Guile had. Looking forward to that rendition as well.

So three characters and sorry mode up on Friday?
Is whatever they're doing with the store fixed or up or will these characters be free to play?

I hope it's the stage theme (like how the more classic-sounding Guile theme is set to AFB). That way I can hear it regardless of who is picked

That isn't at all true of other Street Fighter games. Street Fighter 4 is literally the only example I can find of five years of game support. Even the almighty Street Fighter 2 didn't get that.
And Capcom says a lot of things, like that this July update is coming in June. But it is pretty sizable, so if we had to miss two months of updates at least we're getting an early and meaty July update.
SFII had around 4 years of support. As for the update missing June, it only missed the mark by one day.
only 2 characters, Ibuki and Balrog, plus the story mode.
Juri & Urien are incomplete, and will only be playable in the cinematic Story Mode.

Ibuki and Balrog as new characters
Premium store (stuff being sold through PSN/Steam storefront instead)
Story Mode which will have Juri and Urien both featured and playable (though most likely in an early version)
