I'm pretty sure that we're gonna get 6 characters per wave for the next 5 or so years. It would line up with Capcom's long-term plans for the game & how they supported SFIV.
Balrog is going to be in the Street Fighter V June update on Friday
- Thread starter Dartastic
- Start date
Yeah I'm expecting either 6 or 8 at max, since we're getting two more months than this year because the game launched in February.
It's quite exciting thinking ahead, actually.
Every time a new character is teased/revealed, someone will be having a LI Joe <3 Urien moment somewhere in the world.
You can laugh at how slowly Capcom's taking to get going, but that sort of thing couldn't happen with the old model.
It'll be nice once everything is fully off the ground and its potential is more clear.

But it's also gonna have a huge impact on the competitive scene once it gets removed (plus they'd have to work around any potential changes to the game, like possible screen-tearing, depending on how they go about fixing the delay). I'm not expecting the 8-frame delay to get fixed until after the Capcom Cup, just like the other major balance changes.
Like I said, I'm pretty sure that we're gonna get at least 6 characters per wave. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if we got more (like, 1 or 2 more) since we wouldn't miss out on 2 months of the year. Also, I don't think we'd get Decapre over, say, Akuma. If anything, the likely ones would be...
- Crimson Viper
- Sean Matsuda
- Oro
- Akuma
- Sakura
- Sagat
considering from past trailer it seems like they already made a 3D model for Decapre, so it wouldn't be too surprising if she was in wave 2.
I'm down for this.
I talked to some guys face to face about this update and it's not going to get them back into the game. They're either waiting for Tekken 7 or some other fighters. I might be right behind them if this update doesn't fix some of the networking issues.

Aren't there some resources for Abel already in the game? I'd be surprised if he wasn't in wave 2.

Akuma missing is one of the reasons I haven't bought SFV yet (along with VS CPU missing)
Tekken's sales are higher than SF.

Yep if there ever going to "fix" it

Who were the NPCs in the story?
Sean
Oro
Honda
Hakan
Viper
Sakura
Am I missing anyone? I always assumed those were hints as to who will be coming in the near future. Why else include them?

I would be really surprised. There are several characters similar to his style of play and I don't think he's popular. I think the best argument to have him would be to have a French character in the game.
Because it only makes sense for Street Fighter characters other than the playable cast to appear in an SF story. Kind of the same reason we've been getting all of those official SF character bios for random characters like that Canadian wrestler on the website.
Where did I say I hate Tekken? Plus I'm talking about Tekken 7 not the "overall" sales of each franchise. It's clear that one of the reasons they implemented Akuma is because he is a very, VERY popular character in the fighting game community which will, by definition, increase the awareness of their game. SF doesn't need any Tekken characters because hey have plenty of popular characters to choose from.
Also been there done that with SF X T - which was a disaster. I don't want a repeat of that thanks.
I'm springing for the season 2 pass if that happens
The roster is incomplete without E.Honda and Blanka
I don't really think story cameos have any implication one way or another. I think it's just as likely that side characters in the story are there because they may not get an appearance otherwise, so why not enrich the lore a bit this way. There's very little effort involved in throwing in some extra side characters in as fan service.

The new chars- Ed, Helen, and Azam
I doubt that. Everything will line up with cpt. For better or worse. Plus they are gonna have to do arcade mode.

I've read we'll get 160k FM for beating the story on normal and hard (80k each), is that true?
30k for normal

30k for beating the normal cinematic story mode.
50k for beating the extra hard version that gets unlocked after beating the normal difficulty one.
So a total of 80k, in 2 playthroughs.

Sakura sucks. If a Tekken character makes it I hope it's Jin because his SFxT fireballs were awesome.
i thought the charge characters where more accessible lol i always use them
You forgot Abel, Ed, & Azam. E. Honda & Hakan were never directly featured in the stories, just referenced.
They're not as popular compared to the rest of the World Warriors, they can wait.

The store mode is currently available for download.

If they add Ed as a playable character, I hope they expand on his design a bit. Azam is okay due to his caricature-like features, but Ed is about as distinctive as plain-clothes Juni, which isn't very imo.
Awesome. I just started work, but I'm sure someone will upload it for our viewing pleasure before the day is done.

6 is too few. 8 seems about right, and it could be higher.
Just make a US account and download its free dlc afterall.
