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

oh cool... as soon as they story update drops on Steam I'll poke around the files and see if there's anything interesting they haven't announced yet

I give them some credit for Balrog. They are late with Ibuki, the Story update was due and matchmaking/netcode was long overdue.

The edit to Juri looks awful and makes no sense. If you wanted to show her with some skin, just do it and own it. Same with Urien or anyone else. Got Juri with black texture skin and boobs while Laura's underboobs jiggle away, Cammy's suit is painted on, R. Mika is R. Mika and even her new costume pushes her breasts out, and so on. Just own it and love it.

Maybe she's just not done finished or they are changing their mind. All I know is Urien better be damn near naked and glorious at some point when he releases! =P

All of that said, looking forward to getting back into the game soon.
I like juri change and it looks great to me. Since there's no universal opinion on it being bad people should just let that one go.

Loving karin beach costume and i usually dislike bikini alts.

I'd love to see Oro make it. The 3S characters are a weird bunch, but they bring some great variety to an otherwise more traditional cast.

Juri re-re-design (if that's what it is) is fine. Great, even. Like Suggs says, people should really let that go. Crying foul for tiny things like that isn't getting us anywhere.

I do agree that Urien should get his thong somehow, though. I'll honestly buy it at a high price.

I agree, Oro being in this game (along with his hidden arm V-Trigger) will make me a very happy man. Throwing Q, Makoto and Sean in there with him too will be perfect.
 
Alpha 3 is more popular because most people care more about the huge roster and not how the gameplay falls apart at a high level.

That's like saying that Ultra Street Fighter IV is better than Street Fighter V or how Mortal Kombat Trilogy is better than either Mortal Kombat II or Ulrimate Mortal Kombat 3 are because of the big roster of characters.

Ew no thanks to any Tekken characters. They might need Akuma to boost their franchise but Street Fighter certainly does not.

Tekken happens to be the #1 fighting game in sales worldwide while Street Fighter is #2.

Popularity and quality are not the same thing.

I don't think Capcom has officially provided DirectInput support yet (major bummer), but I found that the SFV community has patched in DirectInput support themselves. I haven't tested it yet, but I've seen people recommend it on Reddit.

I can't get it to work, but it could be my own fault. Readme isn't useful to amateurs.

EDIT: x360 seems to work fine with my ps3 stick.

And Alpha 3/Zero 3 doesn't have the quality compared to Alpha 2/Zero 2.
Yes? Lots of good things aren't popular.

Has it never occured to you that the casual audience might find a larger roster and more robust single player content more appealing than tournament viability? I mean, you're posting in a thread about SFV, a game that is currently suffering backlash for seemingly ignoring casuals in favor of catering to the tourney scene.

I want to see Guy or Maki in season 2 but that probably ain't happening. But I'm getting Urien soon so I'm content, da gawd..

I'd like Maki but only if she looks like the CvS2 Capcom side artwork. Maki the squatting biker gang leader is cooler than cheerful young ninja girl Maki.

Crap, why does this update, the one I've been waiting for the most, need to come smack in the middle of the final stages of my PS4&TV-less house move? A few weeks earlier or even later would have been perfect, just not now. Sigh...

I third this. Lanky Sagat = best Sagat.

I fourth...th this!

Sean, Viper, Oro and Azam all seem likely for S2 just based on relative prominence.

I would be very happy with those picks, especially if they'd throw in "Eisbahn"(?) Ed and (lanky!) Sagat as well together with a remade Thailand stage, the Dubai stage found n Rashid's art to house Azam as well, and perhaps some winter (Christmas) themed one to complement Ed and contrast with the summer beach one.

Sagat tease?

Sorry for double posting but a thought just popped into my mind: what if this is a tease for Heihachi instead?

I mean he wears a Tiger emblem and he would make a logical counter cameo to Akuma in Tekken 7. I wouldn't put it past Ono!

That depends on if he survives Tekken 7 (though to be honest, if it's between him & Kazuya, I'd bet on Heihachi surviving). Either way, I'd honestly go with Jin as the Tekken guest.

Ok, but then what is this Tiger tease about? Sagat, while cool, would be too much on the nose no? Does Jin have a Tiger motif going on as well?

That said, didn't Ono try to fool us earlier with a similar double take, i.e. by letting us think it's not the obvious choice but then actually giving us that obvious character? I remember that attempt being thwarted by a leak but can't remember which character it was (maybe Dhalsim or Zangief?).

The only one that was stopped by a leak was Laura's but I recall him doing it multiple times for this game.

Why on earth do Franchise sales of past games matter? SF didn't have a title for nearly a decade.

By that logic if you look into Revenue generated. SF2 Arcade revenue alone obliterates many other franchises , including its own console franchise sales.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_game#List_of_highest-grossing_arcade_video_games

Close to $4bn in Todays money is what GTAV would make after selling over 50m units. Neither Tekken nor SF are making anywhere close to that at arcades in Japan. They arent even top in their own Fighting genre.

Also SF characters are way more recognizable than Tekken.
Ryu would stand up there with Mario,Sonic,Pacman as recognizable gaming icons. Kauzya or Jin? Not so much.

I want to see Guy or Maki in season 2 but that probably ain't happening. But I'm getting Urien soon so I'm content, da gawd..

Guy needs to be in this fkin game , his gameplay style and mobility is so unique. Cant find anybody else who fits that :(

Maki not so much , unless they give her some of Guy's moves and playstyle. Played her in CvS and Alpha3 PSP , seemed a little more sluggish.

More FF villains, please. I still think that FF1 designs were so good that even the remaining badguys (Damnd, Edi E, Axl, El Gado/Holly Wood, etc) are more appealing than any of the subsequent heroes.

?

How does that disprove the fact that Tekken's sold more copies than SF worldwide on consoles? Everybody knows how much revenue SF2 was giving Capcom in arcades during it's heyday but still Tekken's still the most successful fighting game in console history. Nobody cares if "SF was dead for nearly a decade" as that's an excuse. Let alone, you can't say "well that doesn't count look at it this way because arcade revenue". Point still stands that Tekken's sold the most in console history.

If people wanna know how T7 is doing in arcades on the other hand, T7's the highest generated revenue Tekken in history (surpassed the previous holder T6 pretty early) and it's also the #1 Tekken in arcades that have the higher player amount per person meaning it continues to surpass it's own arcade records over time and mind you this is even before T7FR came out.

You can debate about who's more recognizable but in actual copies sold? You can't compare them that way.

Man why do the women in these games always get shit health? They don't even hit hard.

Are you serious? Because I remember people being serious about why Cammy and Ibuki had a "tax" in SFIV when they were ridic. Funnily enough the same people ignored that Akuma, Gen, Yun etc had lower health as well.

More options, more mixups, more mobile you're going to have less than 1000 health.

But whatever, lets give Cammy 1000 health, an overhead and call it a wrap in season 2 as every top 8 is filled with Cammy.
 
I'm wanting to host a weekly tournament - we could play together, I have the means to stream it as well.

Thought we could chip in for a prize pool as well for the winner. Just wanting to be more active in a community, FGC is the best one in my opinion.

Nah leave Tekken characters out. There are plenty of more popular characters that people want from the Street Fighter/Capcom universe. Want to play Tekken in a 2D environment? Go play SFxT.

Hey, I'm actually with you on this and would rather have it be Sagat or another SF fighter actually.

I've never been the biggest fan of crossovers in general (save for very well fitting ones like Final Fight or even Rival Schools + SF) so for the most part I was simply posting my hunch for what that Ono Tiger pic could be teasing and not a wishlist or something.
