Balrog is going to be in the Street Fighter V June update on Friday

Ahem...







Apologies for quoting myself but this is definitely the closest I have ever come to "calling" something, even if it is in the form of wishing for it :)

After the Air Force Base I had a feeling that Balrog's stage might be next. Sagat, if he ever becomes DLC, might follow the same trend of coming with a remake of the Thailand stage. For some reason those three seem appropriate due to them being both iconic and unique.

As some of you have pointed out as well, this second remake stage does continue the trend of looking a bit more basic than the new stages though, especially in terms of interactables / moving objects - of which there appear to be none.

As for the trailer itself:
- Balrog looks very awesome - I might try him for the first time actually.
- Juri looks awesome as well though I REALLY hope she'll get her IV outfit as well as wider pants do really complement her fighting style I feel.
- Urien I'm a bit mixed on in terms of his face and the fact that he now wears a suit. Maybe he'll grow on me though.
Immediately thought about you when I saw the new stage, obviously ; )
I agree it looks "simpler", like the airforce base one, but I think it looks great. And I'm all for a remake of Sagat's stage.

Maybe the suit melts away at the end of the story as he becomes more powerful and it's used as a narrative element, since this is pre-3?

Maybe. I figure since we don't really know what's going on exactly with him we might as well wait and see before we start complaining.

it would be cool if Balrog's hood could be knocked off like Jin's in Tekken 4

when I was a kid I remember when that would happen it meant shit got real

Damn this is what happens every time I can't watch a CPT to its finale. At least I got to wake up to some kick ass news!!

So hype for Juri, outfit doesn't look as bad as I was expecting
 
Maaaaaaaaaaaan Balrog looks like he hits like a Goddamn truck.

Juri outfit is hawt, censorship or not

URIEN MAH BOI THE AEGIS REFLECTOR RETURNS

Agreed ... the super looks lazy IMO. Disappointing ...

I'm not sure if we got to see the full CA animation since the first hit KO'd Bison. I'm inclined to think that is the full animation if only because you'd think they would put it in the trailer, but who knows.

Wouldn't be bothered either way though, not everyone needs a flashy super. He's just tryin' to get paid out there.

I wouldn't expect Juri to hit on July: they are basically merging 3 months of updates in this one (Boxer was supposed to be July), so I would guess Juri will still be released in August.

Juri wasn't expected to be July. Balrog was. It seems like they are at least somewhat ahead with characters, since Urien and Juri are in a somewhat playable state at the moment for Story Mode. BUT there's still stuff like Extra Mode (or whatever it's called) and Daily Challenges which are nowhere in sight.

That is exactly what I've said.
They are merging Ibuki (May), Story Mode (June) and Balrog (July) in one update.
No reason the next one shouldn't be in August, as it was scheduled.
I was reacting to people wishing we would see Juri in July and that that would put them ahead of schedule. ^^
 
I like the classic throwback stage, but it looks like it's got an instagram filter over it. Great colour palette but off with the tone, this is one washed-out Vegas! It looks unfinished tbh, very flat and empty.

Juri looks pretty great, Urien ehh I need to see more.

Well, they did away with the roadmap because they were pissed at Capcom USA, so there is no schedule, anymore.

Personally, I'd just like the Daily Challenges and Fighter Profile to be fixed.

Hey, is Ibuki not getting her badass classic outfit as unlock/dlc?

Unacceptable. That's one of the costumes I would probably bend over for.

I do think it's weird they covered Juri's chest with latex, given her SSF4 costume and all the other boobs in the game. BUT. I think it looks cooler.

It could be like Vega's mask: when you expose Balrog's fucked up hairline he gets super embarrassed and his defense goes down. But he also gets super pissed, so his specials do more damage, but you can't control which move he throws out.

^ lmao

I really, really like Rog's super. Of course his super's a big dumb punch, what else did you expect? It's animated so well too

Never really been a fan of Juri but she looks fantastic.

Urien looks he needs a bit more polishing, but that fucking Aegis tho.

Balrog coming on Friday is amazing. I really didn't want to wait a whole more month for him, so I'm glad he's coming out with the story mode update. His stage looks great.

Sucks that the story mode update is now in July, but it's only been delayed by one day, and we're getting two characters when the story mode update was originally going to have none, so I'm fine with a slight delay.
 
Wait, so we're getting two new characters and the story expansion on Friday??

Ok, that's pretty sweet. I can easily forgive the delays if that's the case.

Balrog looks/animates really good.
I think I like Juri's new look.

Eh faster super animations are better imho
While some supers in sf5 look dull they are at least fast animations for the most part
But that felt just like a special, doesn't have any oomph!
