i doubt people will rush to buy this game if one or two of their fav characters show up.
5 of Street Fighter V Season 2 characters are going to be newcomers
- Thread starter IntelliHeath
- Start date
I think Ingrid could happen
The thing here is "new to SF universe"
While Ingrid has made appearances in that one version of Alpha and I think also that SFxT comic, she's not a canon SF character atm
If she were one of the new characters in V, this "new to SF universe" parameter wouldn't be broken with Ingrid's inclusion (because, as far as canon is concerned, it'd be Ingrid's first ever canon appearance in the SF universe. Unless I missed something)
Oh God no they better not bring back Goutetsu
Let Goutetsu rest (and also let Akuma have something. It's already pretty dumb that Bison and Gouken survive. Let's not take his remaining canon kill away from him)
Also, DD/Rook/Canned Pretty Boy from CFAS has some serious leg problems in his silhouette if that's supposed to be him
Actually... the last silhouette reminds me of Garuda from SFEX (esp. because of the leg)

Now that I think about it, you are right. Use this moment in the franchise to expand the roster. I'm not coming back until the next one, I'm sure.

*sigh* missing you babe... Will keep the hope alive tho ✊🏾.
They should have at the least balanced it out with 3 veterans and 3 newcomers

Akuma
C. Viper
Sagat

Im also hoping Season 3 started in the middle of next year as 6 characters is dissapointing. Super Street Fighter IV added 10 characters.

Akuma wasn't part of the season 1 so i hope they will add Sagat after season 2 as the special character.

Wow. This game is a complete joke.
Glad that there's other alternatives like Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator, Tekken 7, KOF XIV & Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite.

Yeah my friend originally promised our gang that he would pick back up SFV if his fav Ibuki showed up. He didn't.

People not playing just because their fave isn't in, and being so strict about that, is dumb. Just try someone else for Pete's sake. Variety is the spice of life. There's no Fei, so I use Karin. If I can bloody do it, anyone can. Why lock yourself out of a good game, it baffles me.
Season 2 is a cool idea. Don't get the hate when so many here asked for just that. Sure, they should still release a compelling, complete packaged product but doesnt mean they shouldn't announce season 2 in the mean time. You've got to at least show some working evidence you're planning continual support (simply saying "supporting until 2020" means jack shit), so this is fine. Retention is probably in their best interest at this point anyway.
Anywho, hoping for Azam at some point.

Just about almost every new character since SF IV has been garbage about 95% of the time (with the exception of Rashid, C. Viper & Juri).

Like I think if it was any fighting game that announced brand new characters, people would be hype af. Has SFV really burned so many people?
What was posted? The tweet wad deleted.

Capcom keeps sabotaging their own game with stupid decisions.

Good.
So fucking tired of seeing the same characters for twenty years.
Bring some new blood.

There still some clarification needed but its been established that Rival Schools is apart of the SF universe.

How can people not be for new characters? Who knows, maybe one of these news players will become your top pick like how Rufus, Juri, and Q were for many after they were first introduced.
IMO, I've always been a fan of fresh new faces to expand the franchise, otherwise you might as well be playing the previous entry that keeps the same cast. That or release both new and old so everybody is happy... new first though :-D

Very poor decision on Capcom's part. Making 5 of the 6 characters brand new won't do much to capture the interest of people new to the game or long time owners. At the very least they should have done 3 classic and 3 new and alternate between them monthly. With the way they're doing it now, there's nothing to look forward to.

Same, have a friend that would jump on after juri, still hasn't.

Only newcomers? mmm, would have preferred it to be more even with returning characters.
I'm far more excited about the prospect of brand new characters with brand new play styles than the remaining C-list veterans that I've been playing as for decades.

This is probably my most awaited "feature". I play this game locally with friends almost every day and when we have to change characters we spend 3 good minutes in the process. It's a joke, but what to expect from Capcom...

I like that they're adding new characters but man, I am definitely not buying a season pass without knowing what it includes.
At least reveal the names of the characters like with Season 1.

If they're totally brand new, revealing the names would be the same as not revealing them.

They should have instead added some new characters to season 1. 3 new and 3 old for each season would be ideal. Glad they are adding a bunch of new. Didn't want SF5 to be veteran city. Whats the fun in a fighting game with a lack of new characters?
And these new characters won't be "C-list" because...
lucebuce12

We'd at least know if they're characters from other Capcom games/guest characters or maybe characters that were introduced in SF5. That alone would make the wait a bit more bearable.

I wish more people gave a new character a chance; some in these last 20 years have been damn fun.
There's the wise words.

Does Haunts still work at Capcom? Why did you not lobby for Sagat? I blame Haunts for all of this. ALL OF IT!!!
So I posted a Season 2 character list a while ago. Source of that list said that Sagat was also set to appear at Capcom Cup alongside Akuma. Source speculated that maybe Sagat's move set could be transplanted to another character.
Edit: Main reason I would trust this source is because he was right about the removal of meterless reversals and a couple other changes. (I never posted about meterless reversal removal because I didn't think it would happen.)

This would be so cheap even for Capcom.
So it's probably true.
The only explanation on why Capcom is doing this is because they want to distance this game from the Street Fighter brand as much as possible. Bringing back old and beloved characters would only hurt the franchise and its universe even more.

Oh wow good eye
I am interested to see how they'll play

There will be at least 2 more seasons after 2017, maybe 3.
So there's always a chance.
Yup that's the only explanation.
I'm not saying they won't, but I'd rather have new C-listers than old ones.

Sorry I'm still salty as fuck.
Also, no way this game gets support until 2020. Expect it to be discontinued way before of that.
