I find it weird how so many people are turned off by brand new characters. New characters means all new music, new stages, and completely new moves instead of innovating on old ideas. It's pretty awesome.



none of the silhouettes look like dolls.

New SF IV/V characters had very divisive receptions compared to new characters in KoF, or Tekken, I guess.

I love this decision so much. That takes some balls. Please blow us away with those new characters!

Believe or not, a ton of people play games due to who the people they are are. I know someone who won't be getting SFV simply because their favs aren't in there and even if new characters show up, that's not the character who they had a connection with which was made during a very important time in their lives. Some people don't care about new mechanics and moves and just play because it's "their character" and this is no exception.

I'll get Akuma but that'll probably be it and once I play with him for a bit I'll probably stay away from the series until S3 comes out and maybe then we'll get some more classics.

Glad to see all new characters. People wanting the old cast can play sf4 and everything before it.

I will miss you sakura ;_;

I could see them adding Tekken characters to help hype up T7 and the eventual TekkenXStre....haha couldn't even finish post hahaha... :(
 
I thought some of the newcomers were kinda cool in SFV so I'm open to seeing how they do. Having old favorites is cool but it doesn't hurt at times to be a bit more imaginative and come up with some new folk.

...You must not remember when Katarina, Lucky Chloe, and josie were first revealed (especially josie snd lucky chloe)

KoF is the only one that people seemed to like across the board. Sylvie was kinda divisive until people played her.
 
I like the idea of new characters, but I really don't like that five of the six Season 2 characters are brand new. I don't want to have to wait until Season 3 for Cody...

Well, I meant both T6 and 7. I remember people hating on Chloe and Bob, but most of the others seemed well liked enough. Didn't know Katarina got hate.
