Yeah I would love to see those stages. Did 3S retcon NG/2i or something? Why don't you expect them to return?

 

[kikiribu]

X-Kira dropping tons of hints for future DLC contents on his facebook page in the last few hours. Most interestingly to me, he said a new Shadaloo stage is coming, the stormy grass stage from Alpha 2 is making a comeback (along with Detroit Highway stage), and mentioned something about English and sticks (might he be hinting Eagle, but who knows).

I just tweeted Ono about the storm stage the other day. Would be amazing if true.

I have a feeling the music pack is gonna be a let down and I don't even know what it is

The biggest letdown ever would be SF4 music

It replaces all music from the game with Remy's theme.

Agreed.

2I is a retcon of NG. I would love SF3 stages as well, but I think the chances of getting them depend on whether or not Capcom will continue to have a massive hard-on for SF2.

Spoiler

They will.

X-Kira did mention a 3S Urien stage around the time he found evidence of Cammy's SSFII stage.

 

[lucebuce12]

If they have such a massive hardon for SF2, why haven't they added E.Honda yet?

 

[Scotia]

Because even Capcom have taste.

 

[Zombegoast]

Because Mike Ross.

 

[lucebuce12]

Because Mike Ross.

Dang it Mike, why'd you have to walk out on Capcpom

Because even Capcom have taste.

Sure bud.

Sure.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Because Mike Ross.

Capcom don't wanna make Mike play a game he doesn't like.

I hope it's real, but for me it's a case of 'I'll believe it when I see it'.

Sure bud.

Sure.

Touché

 

[cHaotix8]

I hope I have enough fight monies for that Cammy stage. It looks amazing. Hopefully the rumors of the storm stage are true as well. Say what you will about the gameplay but you have to admit V looks amazing.

 

[Mizerman]

I think you overestimating the power of money dude. I think capcom , no pun intended, is gonna get left behind

Uh, it was because of SFV's strong performance in the esports section that networks decided to give other games a chance to shine. Hell, ELeague's Street Fighter V was a hit to the point that they even bothered to do this in the first place.

Money is money, but in the realm of fighting games, they live and die based on the tournament scene and viewership. NRS may have the casual crowd on lock, but they tend to struggle with their tournament scene after a while.

Also, SF is one of Capcom's babies and they're stubborn enough to keep SFV around. Even SF3 had support even if it wasn't setting the world on fire.

DBFZ situation will likely be pretty similar to GGXrd. Forum talk here and there, but ultimately not as popular as the bigger names

It'll probably be a little more popular due to the Dragonball brand being stronger than Guilty Gear and Blazblue, but anybody who think it's gonna replace Marvel are high as hell.

It's gonna be the Genesis SF2 soundtrack.

 

[sixteen-bit]

It's gonna be the Genesis SF2 soundtrack.

could be worse

could be the SNES SF2 arrangements

 

[Teh Lurv]

Me after the patch drops and I buy all the Cammy costumes.

That's me with Chun-li at the start of every BL match.

 

[Mizerman]

The biggest letdown ever would be SF4 music

Without question.

It's gonna be the Genesis SF2 soundtrack.

Hey!

I liked the Genesis tracks in SF2.

 

[Teh Lurv]

It's gonna be the Genesis SF2 soundtrack.

could be worse

could be the SNES SF2 arrangements

I honestly wouldn't mind if Capcom re-used the soundtrack from the FM Towns Marty/3DO port. I feel that arrangement doesn't get the love it deserves.

 

[Turbanator]

When is this patch dropping? I'm waiting for a rip of Cammy's new theme for me to decide if I hate it already.

 

[SolarPowered]

It can't be that ba-

The biggest letdown ever would be SF4 music

fuck

I can actually see this happening lol. We get SF2, SF4 and maaaaaybe Alpha music. In a perfect world we'd get all the SF3 music including the remixed tracks. Ibuki's remix is dope.

 

[Blueblur1]

He only outright said that a "New" (I'm guessing he meant Neo) Shadaloo stage is coming, and he sort of hinted at stages for Kolin and Menat. The Alpha stage pictures are probably just requests/speculation since they're not accompanied by text.

I posted in the comments asking if that is the case. Hopefully he'll give me a response.

 

[MCD250]

I'm assuming the "music packs" will simply be more musical themes that you can choose to have playing in the background while you're navigating menus and during matches. We already know there'll be SFII tracks (but will they be the CPS1 or CPS2 versions, is the question; I assume CPS2 but maybe they'll surprise us and include both). I don't expect music from any other games to make it in today, but maybe they'll add them in the future.

 

[TheSpoiler]

I thought the blog said "including", meaning not only SF2 tracks

 

[Turbanator]

Hopefully we get another blog update today that goes into specifics.

 

[Blueblur1]

Also, X-Kira has made three Season 3 hint posts. First is an image of Sagat's stage, second is an image of Sagat, and third hint post is text in Portguese and English; his English translation is 'Sticks will be present'.

People in the comments are interpreting it as Eagle but I doubt he'd be coming to the game. If his 'sticks' comment holds any weight I would imagine we'd be getting Staff Girl as an SFV rep (Sagat and Sakura already have SF2 and Alpha covered, of course):

 

[Ryce]

It sounds like he's bullshitting again. I doubt season three character data is present in the latest update, and we know that's where X-Kira gets his information from. He doesn't have people on the inside telling him things.

 

[jett]

x-kira is so trustworthy tho

 

[Blueblur1]

You're probably right, Ryce.

Edit:

The Cammy stage and Urien stage correlation keeps coming up. Reminder that Event Hubs first reported it in early August here (along with the Fang and Mika stages):

https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2017...es-including-urien-and-cammy-classic-remakes/

Edit 2:

And here's a slightly older July post about an Ibuki stage. We haven't heard about that one anymore.

He was, fam.

You gonna have to hold that

Yeah, we need to see what data he's reading to extrapolate from. I'd also like other dataminers to verify his findings.

I think the easily excitable fan who posts roster wish lists on GameFAQs inside him gets in the way sometimes (although being easily excitable is probably what's required to pore through code looking for cryptic references to new content).

I'm not holding sheeeit.

 

[Rymuth]

It's surreal for a data-miner to drop 'hints'...like, you're not an insider trying to hide where you are on the hierarchy. What's the point of playing games?

[Brobzoid]

put ed's gorilla friend in the game god damn it

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Would be fun if the gorilla was more of a 'kung-fu panda' archetype instead of...basically another abigail.
Give that gorilla some drunken boxing.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

The update on Steam is 10.6 goddamn GB. Bigger than usual right? SECRET ZEKU??????!!!!!

 

[Ryce]

I'd like for the gorilla to be a long reach grappler -- he could have a mid-air snatch grab that you can chain into a second grab, as well as an MMA tackle mount with followups. He'd sort of feel like Marduk from SFxTK. Give him a tragic backstory as a Shadaloo test subject rescued during the destruction of Shadaloo Base and he'd be a great character.

 

[lucebuce12]

Give him the backstory of being an asshole.

Like he's just a dick for no reason.

Steals people's shit. Makes fun of their insecurities.

Just an all around D-bag.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Nah, that sounds about right for the load of content we are getting (music pack, new stage, a fuckload of new costumes, maybe some more files for Zeku but not the whole thing, etc)

Sure.

To be fair that shirt he's wearing is a horror in itself.

I like it much better than her SFV character theme. My favorite version is probably the SSF2T PC version, though.
