SFV August and September Update Detailed (Dailies, VS CPU, Ragequitting, more)
- Thread starter TheSpoiler
- Start date
This is correct. If their focus is really to give this a long life then there's no logic behind blowing their World Warrior wad in Season 2. Casuals need to be repeatedly brought back to the game in order to buy more DLC. If casuals love SF2 characters and Season 2 is just SF2 characters then there will no longer be a casual fanbase by Season 3.
Throw in the really popular SF2 characters (Akuma and Sagat) in Season 2 then do one per season for the rest of the series.
This guy gets it. Though I'm worried that potentially having Akuma, Sagat, & Sakura in the same wave may not sit well with some since all three of them play somewhat similarly (though they could change them up drastically to side-step the problem). Hell, Season 2 could cover pretty much every mainline SF game.
- Street Fighter: Sagat
- Street Fighter II: Akuma
- Street Fighter Alpha/Zero: Sakura
- Street Fighter III: Sean Matsuda or Oro (it's 50/50 for this, but I'm hoping for Sean as a Shoto/Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu hybrid fighter)
- Street Fighter IV: Crimson Viper or Abel (most likely the former)
- Street Fighter V: Ed, Azam, or an entirely new character (I'd put my money on Ed or someone entirely new)

I want characters from every iteration of SF, EX if they can get the rights, FF, and Rival Schools.
I'm hoping that this will have a bigger cast than SFIV when they're done with it.

that's the dream if this is to follow the games as service model
Would be neat to see the history of SF reflected in the roster, but I'd like to see new characters emerge as well.

This game didnt have VS CPU?
Jesus...
Jesus...
That bad huh?
Joking aside, he is the only sf character to ever be in a Tekken game, that says a lot.
I wonder though for how long has Capcom agreed to not put Akuma in SFV.

Not as a separate mode. Previously you could only do vs. CPU in training mode.
It's perplexing cuz all the work was already done, they just needed to let you assign it to a side in versus, lol
heck, at pre-launch events vs. CPU was fully implemented. They removed it for the release.

Man this game really needed one extra year of dev time. I don't know if I can trust Capcom with a fighter ever again.

You say this as someone who didn't even have enough interest in the game to know what was missing, despite the constant chatter about it.
Personally, I'm really glad I've been able to play it since Feb.

Except they made one of the best fighters in the last few years. It was just missing some modes. It's still a fantastic game.
Also as said above. You didn't even know the mode didn't exist so you obviously don't give a shit about the game either way.

I'll take that bet.
I'd love if they did 4 more Seasons of SFV with 8 characters each. That's enough to get a healthy representation from all series, with maybe a few from Rival Schools or Slammasters.
Hopefully Season 2 is big, at least, just to get some of these obvious, nearly mandatory characters out of the way (Akuma, Sagat, Hugo). Ideally, the roster would be big enough that the following characters would have a reasonable shot of making it in:
Dudley
Oro
Q
Hugo
Eagle
Akira
Hayato
Scorp
Maki
Sodom
What about Q? He/she's more popular.
Shake!

Q is my guess/hope. Not enough to bet, mind you.
I like Hugo as much as you do, but I wouldn't qualify him as mandatory. Though while on the subject of Final Fight characters, Mike Haggar still needs to make his Street Fighter debut.

I'd love if they implement Juni and Juli as one character the way they did in Street Fighter Alpha 3.
I'd like to see a revised / functional Q. I think Oro will be because he's featured VERY heavily in the current run of the Street Fighter comic.
In that comic they've had all the DLC characters coming so far, even with their new SFV costumes, before they've been out.
It's a pure guess but it seems likely. Plus betting is fun!
No, Hugo isn't that popular and he made to 3D so I'm satisfied. If he makes it in that's great, if not I'd be fine with it.
Dudley needs to make it back because he's the character I gel with the most. Q I really want to see make it to V and Eagle would be really great too. The rest are characters I'd want to see or pipe dreams (Scorp).
Haggar would be great, too.
I think Oro is a safe bet but it's hard to tell what Q's odds are because being featured in story modes or comics make Q less exciting. His whole deal is his mysteriousness so featuring him grunting and attacking civilians in a story mode, as cool as it would be, wouldn't make a lot of sense. It'd feel more like a cameo than anything.
Maybe if Viper shows up in the roster it would make more sense as she's "investigating" Q.

I'm down for whoever in season 2 to be honest. I don't spend a lot on DLC but I'll support Street Fighter. I bought season 1 not really intent on playing any of the characters, however I like having options and may dabble sometime down the line.
I'd be disappointed if Akuma and Sakura are next season, but then everyone else would be disappointed if Blanka was part of the roster. So its probably best I don't get what I want.

I wouldn't mind Blanka as far as the 7 remaining SF2 characters go. They need to Burt T. Hawk and Dee Jay forever, though.
Capcom apparently doesn't own Hayato from Rival Schools (it's why the rereleases for overseas PSN are a pain, and Udon confirmed this that Capcom doesn't own the character), and I don't believe Capcom owns the Slam Masters either (except Haggar and Jessica obviously) mainly because the character designer is so prominate in the game's copyright.
Now, if you're talking about Hayato from Star Gladiator, then yeah he's fine, but not gym teacher Hayato.
I knew that about Hayato and it figures my favorite RS character Capcom wouldn't own. I didn't know that about the Slammasters guys but it tracks that if all these other manga artists get the rights to these fighting game characters they designed that the legendary Tetsuo Hara would get the same deal.
However, weren't a few Slammasters characters in Hugo's 3S ending? Surely they didn't pay just for that (IIRC and they're visible on screen).
Next year is the 30th Anniversary of Street Fighter ... not the 30th Anniversary of Street Fighter 2.
They should focus on Street Fighter 1 stuff and let the SF2 for the 30th Anniversary of Street Fighter 2 !
I don't think so. IIRC we haven't seen a Slam Master character depicted since that gag pic of Titanic Tim & Birdie back in the Alpha days. I think all of subsequent references have been in name only.
It would suck if they're being slept on because of creator disputes as well. If nothing else, Black Widow's stature, in addition to her costume, would easily make for the most indimidating female SF character ever.
According to EventHubs, Urien is still slated for a Septmenber release.
Good news for those worried by the blog post.

I was hoping for August, but I guess Capcom wants to make the September update huge. Plus Urien technically won't be late, so win-win.
Im so sad/mad that Urien isnt coming in August. Its hard enough seeing PC people get to play with the character. With him coming in September Im almost sure its to nerf him to the ground before he even has a chance, hes not even top tier as is and I feel they are using this time to suck the fun right out of him, not to mention I bet they wait as long as possible and release his ass on Sept 31st. I have been looking so forward to this character for so long 
sigh..
sigh..PLEASE. I'm so bored of most of the SF2 cast.
SF2 is basically sf1 though lol.

Yup, I would buy a costume bundle if it was reasonably priced.
Completely agree. Im waiting for Urien, Q, Dudley, Hugo and Sodom to be in this game.

Yeah, no doubt Capcom will spread them. I prefer new characters and maybe a few from Alpha.
It's amazing that people rarely ask for Sodom. Such a fun character.
Yes. Then it would be Eagle and Maki from CVS.
We're around one month away from getting Urien, so that's one of your requests that'll be fulfilled.
Isn't Sodom the last Alpha character who has yet to make the jump to 3D?
Dope list of SF characters, Im hoping for 8 each season as well.
SF1 has lots of problems, but nothing that updating the game would keep. The characters are awesome, the designs are cool ... the only problem is that it is a sausage fest =P
Making some characters avaliable as dlc would be awesome and for most people those chars would be basicaly new characters ! =D

Feel like with flagging sales, season 2 will be pandering. So:
Akuma
Sakura
Evil Ryu
Dan
Sagat
Sean
The season of shotos! I hope we get less popular guys like Oro and Sodom but I wouldn't blame Capcom for going with what'll sell while they still can.

SF1 will always have a special place in my heart because I remember loving it in the arcade and at home (on the T-16 CD), but also because it had a totally different mood/vibe. It wasn't comic or over the top or heavily anime-inspired like all the games since, it was more of a gritty/cool take on a fighting tournament. Real world locations, plausible fighters and styles. I still love the series but SF1 had a unique flavor.
That would literally be the worst season ever. I hope they continue the combo of fan favs and characters that weren't in SFIV
I like this idea. You can never have enough shotos. I think if Dan ever got in the game they should just give him for free nobody going to buy him lol.
I doubt a highly demanded character like Akuma will be free. Someone like Sakura or Q maybe
