Here's a better explanation after considering how this game will roll out without full blown "Super" versions.

Cammy's dumb ass is in what, all Street Fighters except Third Strike pretty much? Plus she's in tons of VS games.

Bitch will sell as DLC. Just like Ken will. So why waste a 16 character slot on that hoe ?

As for Birdie... man if I want scoops I'd rather get Alex reveal. Hypa Bomb > Everything Birdie can do.

Now with that said. I GET Birdie being initial 16. He'd sell quite low as a DLC character, so him being in the base game exposes him to more people and ensures he is "paid" for being designed.

Still not hyped for Birdie, but I can deal.

Cammy though? Fuck Cammy. Waste of space. Rather have Decapre.

Fighting game fans will buy character dlc regardless of who's in it.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Birdie? I was hoping for some SF1 reps.

Joke post?

 

[call_kotaku]

Alright, and what's that?

console plebs don't need to know

Spoiler

It's smoothing the edges of shapes to get rid of that staircase lego block thing like you get on PS1 graphics

Ohhh, ok. Thanks!

Tell that to Marvel fans.

My last post was unclear, I know Birdie is from SF1 so that makes me happy about his inclusion.

We'll probably never see decapre ever again

cammy mod for PC ver #kappa

 

[K.Sabot]

Negative hype for Birdie! \o/

 

[Infinite]

Can we get one rival schools character doe? Just one

 

[KidA Seven]

So those two are playable in this build?

What if they do something crazy and....put Cammy in pants?

 

[pixelish]

reading about dota 2 having a compete overhaul of the game interface, i really hope capcom has put a lot of thought and consideration in designing sf5's interface that's friendly to beginners as well as help bridge the gap between casual and competitive.

I'm sensing a theme here

 

[Shouta]

zlat is salty as fuck.

But seriously, I'd love to see Omega Cammy or just make Cammy into Decapre instead.

 

[The Light]

Birdie is a legit surprise as I was expecting Zangief.

Yoo chill

I took the Ono pic as the hint for Birdie with the chains on the can.

Also, the skull on the can matches that with Birdie's belt buckle.

Good translation of the Cammy/Birdie info

Unshitty translation:
Among the already known participants Ryu, Chun-Li, Nash/Charlie and M. Bison, the veterans Cammy White and Birdie will take part as well. Cammy still plays as swiftly as she always did, focusing on speed and melee attacks. Birdie, on the other hand, is an enormous hulk who hits really hard and can take quite the beating. Although the giant is very immobile, he has an iron chain that gives him range that is not to be underestimated. That's why the big guy is way too strong in the current preview version. Capcom still needs to fine-tune the balance in that regard!

So those two are playable in this build?

yes. The press already got to play them but it's embargo until E3.

Did I miss something I just woke up

Did I miss something I just woke up

Cammie and Birdie apparently got leaked.

 

[enzo_gt]

Was there any copyright issue with SFEX characters or has Capcom commented on the possibility? My google-fu is weak ATM.

 

[Kalamari]

How will Cammy fare against Jack-O in the derriere department?

 

[skLaFarebear]

Cammy and birdie? Guess im still holding out that a character i care about makes it in.

 

[Clawww]

maybe birdie has a consume skill, and leaves the trash behind. so banana peel, soda can. maybe something happens if he picks it up or enemies step on it

 

[CountBlack]

Birdie gonna be the black Ghost Rider

 

[Dai101]

AFAIK the characters are/were co-owned but i forget when was the last time i heard anithing from arika.

 

[Clawww]

capcom better stay away from any licensing bullshit in SFV at least

 

[CountBlack]

Seriously though everything so far for SF5 has leaked in some way lol

Initial trailer = leak
Battle systems = leak
Cammy & Birdie = leak

 

[.la1n]

Birdie would be great to see back again. Cammy is much less exciting but they could change that if they do something interesting with her design.

 

[Devid905]

This is what happened when Capcom hired Other Ocean to fix their pipes

 

[KidA Seven]

I'm curious what the v skills will be. It must be difficult to make one for every character unless they keep making v skills that nullify fireballs.

 

[fader]

well they following Tekken's lead

 

[kirblar]

There are only 6 more returnees for the initial roster to go, assuming Bogard's accurate on the 4 newbies.

This should be interesting. Alex/Juri are the two I'm expecting. No clue on the other 4.

Capcpom needs to hire a better plumber.

 

[QisTopTier]

I like cammy, if they make her a little more interesting I'd be down to play her

 

[enzo_gt]

Cammy getting an air flip or a different strike would be my guess. Birdie some sort of grapple?

Will lol if they turn Cammy's V-Trigger into Decapre. I can see Birdie getting extended range on his chains, seems like that would help his poke game and further compensate for speed deficits.

Also perhaps there are characters that simply have projectiles as their V-Skills? I agree though, projectiles are a bit of a concern ATM.

Was 16 ever explicitly stated anywhere?

 

[FadedRevolution]

Maybe with Birdie the trash has something to do with his V-skill. It all has been food items as well maybe he eats them and discards trash. Each item might increase health or another stat, or probably a distracting tool.

 

[petghost]

true we have 2 (arguably 3) fireball nullifying v skills already.

would be dope if birdie got access to his chain and therefore big ass normals with his v trigger.

 

[kirblar]

Might've been w/ Bogard's stuff too - but doing much more than that for an initial roster is pretty unlikely.

 

[Kumubou]

To my knowledge, the characters are owned by Arika (and some of them were from a previous fighting game they made, Fighting Layer). I don't think it would be a huge issue to license them from a legal or logistical standpoint (and IIRC, they are open to it), but I don't think Capcom would bother.

 

[Horseress]

The can has the same skull Birbie has in his belt, so it's a specific Birdie hint. Banana and Cammy....really weird

 

[Clawww]

if they give cammy some kind of bison/nash treatment and spruce her up (even a little bit) + give her decent story reasons to be in I'll be cool with it. if it's too reminiscent of 4 im gonna be sad tho

 

[kirblar]

Banana's another Birdie hint- it's his Mohawk.

Didnt capcom say they were looking at something like how KI has done with new DLC when it comes to the next SF title? r

It's either going to be piecemeal like KI or expansions like everything post SSF4 - nothing public on that yet.
