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

God damn the hype from the crowd at the reveal, so awesome

Cool of them to actually show quick glimpses of action too instead of just teases

I know people are expecting Capcom to drop the ball release-wise (rightfully so) but I'm optimistic that at EVO we'll get a date for the next character drop. Would be neat if they decide to make it Juri and Urien (would make sense too if they're teasing both with gameplay) but that's probably a little too optimistic lol.

Two characters every two months is probably a better release schedule anyway because they're more likely to please more players with each release and can spend more time balancing and tuning each one. I think i would be ok with that if it's the new schedule - September 1st for Juri/Urien, then.

SOOOO glad to see Juri but why the f did they cover her up when she's still wearing a skin tight unzipped suit while Laura out here half naked?

Because it's sexier this way, at least to me. Laura's alt is just terrible, imo. The models don't look good enough for them to just show a bunch of skin and call it a day, even though the game looks amazing in general.
 
i doubt anyone is going to actually learn the characters well enough to do any serious damage at evo in such a short timeframe

PR is certainly going to try

I also don't like that they're changing their own rules within their own Tournament limit of 5 weeks. It's a terrible precedent to set.

yeah EVO is kind of being hypocritical. Because didn't they give MKiX and injustice hard time due to DLC release being so close to EVO? Come on...I am sure lot of players aren't gonna like this too.
 
My problem is them changing their own Tournament rules past when their grace period had already passed. If they had said 'yeah, we're changing our rules going forward' fine, no problem. But this is a bad move.

so they changed their rules. What is the problem you're having beyond that? Is it just inconsistency? What other game had characters disqualified this year? None.

I think the response has been overwhelmingly positive and there's no valid concern that this makes the tournament worse or less valid.
 
Who the fuck wears a shirt underneath a Spandex suit? That looks terrible and has to be for the hypersensitive soft culture. Other than that it's pretty damn hype.

So all new female characters should have awful sexist designs because two characters already released have awful sexist designs? I don't get it.

Hardly sexist? Considering most of the cast male/female shows ample skin. I would get you if this was King of Mexico
 
Complaining about the tournament rules or complaining a character doesn't look sexy enough now?? Anything will do amirite. SFv threads I'll tell ya

Costume and stage don't mean much to me, if I can't buy them with real money. Any information when they will purchasable on PSN yet?

i mean those juri and urien reveals were so haphazard and such an afterthought. They didn't even tell you the character names, how are the casuals supposed to know who urien is??

lol

The quota of one SFV bashing thread a week must be kept.



Juri looks great btw. So does Urien. Aegis ! I might have to go boot up 3rd Strike and mess with him.

It would be hilarious if any of the top players actually did good at EVO with either Rog or Ibuki, but there is no way that will happen.

If you can't see sexism in Laura and Mika's design, wow I won't waste my time with you. Bye.

She's gorgeous, but don't talk shit about the best girl, please. I'll report you.

I highly doubt they covered her up for fear reasons looking at Laura's outfits. She looks better to me anyway

Agreed. Cammy is another case where I think her more covered up costume is actually sexier. You still get the butt shots in the super KO, for example, but the fact that it's not always there make it look more revealing when it shows up, even though it's actually less.

Teasing is a fine art, just showing a bunch of skin doesn't make it automatically sexy.

I'm not complaining about SF5. I'm complaining about EVO.
Yeah and honestly your complaint is really nonsense, It's exciting they are allowing the characters that's the most important thing. I would be dissapointed if they didn't.

I think it looks good - like a skintight undergarment for mobility and a jacket on top for style/comfort. and I like the visual design of it without having to show skin, it's still shapely and sexy.
 
I think it’ll be pretty hype for balrog and Ibuki to be in Evo...

2 new fresh faces, biggest tournament of the year?

Meh, I see why the adjustment was made. Seems like it’ll just be overall more fun for everyone, viewers and players.

i don't even think they'll be that big a threat. maybe balrog in pr balrog's hands, but honestly it seems like just now alex is getting good and no one seems to have really cracked guile
