Those people are never to be taken seriously.
I hope so.
If they're redesigning characters the way they are I hope we get SF2 style faster and skinnier Sagat tbh

Reading fighting game related threads that aren't this one or in the community section is a waste of time and emotion. I don't know why I still click on them.

Birdie and Nash made me think Capcom was about to toss everything at us including the kitchen sink. Apparently all they had were a bunch of SF2 carts.
Good for people who are big fans of SF2, I guess. The good thing is that Capcom seems to be in love with blondes. Maybe it's not futile to hope for Cody and Abel?

Sagat in the initial 16 would be lame. I'm fine with Sim and Vega because they're really unique.
Bring in characters not in SF4 or bring in the SF4 characters that are unique and can be changed to be interesting.

Sagat is already interesting tho =(
In truth I wouldn't mind if we saw no more SF2 chars lol
Bring in the rest of the roster
Can't believe we are in a universe where Deejay has a good chance of coming back.

They seem to be willing to completely redesign how the character works, which makes me interested. Every iteration of post-ST Claw felt like "we can't change his movelist but we are afraid of actually making him good".
Giving back his ridiculous stuff from ST would be fun, maybe, just for the salt

I asked Combofiend at Evo when Deejay was coming and he said he's definitely coming back because of how popular he was.
I don't think he was being sarcastic with me
I just woke up to this news. It's kind of lame actually. Vega and Bison were my favorite characters from SF2, Vega especially because design-wise he was a hybrid of a matador, a ninja, and he had a Jason-style mask. You could argue that his claw was inspired by either the Predator or Wolverine. His gameplay remains fairly unique, there's not many clone characters out there in the world that play almost exactly like Vega or Bison (The most you get are characters who rip off Bison's Psycho Crusher or Vega's Wall Dive).
But there's just too many SF2 characters now. Everyone wants the 3rd Strike and Alpha characters in there. People want to see Alex, Urien, Mika, and Karin. And maybe a couple of more obscure characters like Q, Necro, Eagle, and Maki. There's just no hype behind another SF2 character who has been in plenty of games coming back, even if his gameplay has been changed up a bit.

this is what I'm sayin.. Vega can actually be a bit more playable now.

Thanks for the wishes, everyone 
you may now continue fighting over GB/not GB/community
Agree though, Vega is looking super interesting. Seems to me like he has a backdash as his V-Reversal, hopefully it's really safe and allows light punishes.

The trade show is Gamescom, and the new character is playable in the build there too. People thought SFV wouldn't be there because there's no dedicated Capcom booth, but it's at the Sony booth.
Maybe Necalli is in that build too?

Only beautiful people get hyped for Vega.
Does this count as one of the leaked rosters then
I don't think he has a Izuna drop from wall dive though, so that'll be different

the fact vega has a command throw only makes things more beautiful for me
i can live with no Q reveal

(for now)
Q is last tier
Their approach so far makes sense. They reveal a few mandatory classics who look and play familiarly (Ryu and Chun) to hammer home the point that this is the next step in the SF lineage. It also helps show the graphical progression from 4 to 5 since it uses characters present in both, and it allows them to highlight the main new system mechanics without the discussion being muddled and mixed with new character reveal discussion as well.
They throw a curve ball with weirdo zombie Nash to keep things fresh. They bring back dic to (further) demonstrate the extent that classic characters can be reworked visually and playstyle-wise will still remaining iconic.
They simultaneously reveal Cammy and Birdie for a combination of somewhat expected and 'what the fuck where did that come from.' They bring back Ken, and similar to dic, he has been substantially retooled, which is even more important for him due to people being wary of another shoto-clone-pocalpyse.
They finally reveal a legit newcomer with Necali, and then they relatively quickly show off claw- an old familiar face.
I expect the next character reveal to be a newcomer or a surprising return character.

Q is actually Deejay with a robot mask on
Every single one. It puts everyone back to scale 0, without a fucking clue about the roster

SFV roster speculation is zero and Ono is sending it back to nothing.
*big boss salute*
Hey thx for all your hard work on these threads Enzo and GL in grad school
Back to FG news, Vega is snooze-tastic but at least props for changing him up a bit.
Did it? I thought every list people were circling had 15 people with 1 unknown slot?

Pretty sure the unknown slot was "the boss", so yeah, no lists, no items, no 360 inputs, waterfall stage only
Nah, if Chun and Bison kept their charge motions Vega will as well

But a command grab that's a charge motion? That would be super ass.

That shit actually exists, I don't expect it here but you never know.

I can't think of many prominent examples of a command grab that was charge except maybe Blue Mary, lol
And even then my memory is fuzzy. She hasn't been around for ages. =(

Yup, and the EX version requires no charge iirc.

It'd be weird if there was a currency named "fight money" and Boxer wasn't in the game.
Wasn't expecting Claw but cool, looking forward to getting my ass kicked by AZ Greg for another 8 years.

Cerebella has a charge move that can transition to a grab.
I was watching more Nitroplus Blasters because I am morbidly fascinated by these niche anime fighters. However this game at high level is pretty hilarious. If you have your burst on hand there's a similar to P4AU "One More Burst" method you can use to guarantee kills.
Most matches that I viewed from a-cho went along the lines of "I landed one confirm (this even works off throws) and did a 70% combo with two assists and a burst and you are dead". It happened so often I couldn't help but say that it's a severe balance issue... almost no assists are called in neutral because the assist recharge time is crazy long so it's better to have an assist that can get a guaranteed kill.
What adds to the humor is that the game has around 20 assists but people only use about 4 of them. Some chick with a giant axe that slams you is the best combo extender in the game, there's another one that does Angled Proton Cannon, and another that does Weasel Shot. However the differences don't matter because they're only used for combo extension. In comparison DBFC has way better assist balance though that's not saying much.
So yeah... the game's getting a western release on PS3, but I would be prepared to pick top tiers. Some characters look terrible in a "I don't have a single functional, stable gameplan" way.
