I can only hope Alex is brought back and is as much of an asshole as he was portrayed to be in third strike. Don't give us a watered down version of him, Capcom.
I think it's a magnificent example. SF3 is still played religiously in 2015. Tekken 3, a game which sold massively and was released in the same era, is not played at all.
The fact that people are begging for SF3 characters 16 years later is proof of SF3's lasting impact.

I don't see Alex going over very well in 2015. Unless Capcom thinks the extra exposure from being featured on Tropes vs. Women in video games would be a good thing.
I want Alex and Haggar in SFV.Hope Birdie isn't the only grapple character. Still holding strong for Zangief and Alex. Please no one quote me saying "Haggar instead".

I guess we won't be seeing Haggar and Eagle then.
Clearly he's talking about things like football, dancing, power walking, squats etc.
People who now what SF3 is , are asking for SF3 characters.
I know more people who play casual tekken than people who know what street fighter 3 even is.
They aren't playing Tekken 3.
I mean, Alex could still be an abrasive asshole and not say shit like "you need to shake that ass if you want some friends"
because who says that to someone after a fight anyway lmao
I thought he ranked pretty high on the capcom poll they had. Not that I believe in polls, but you know.I think he's a bad choice (Not because of what I posted earlier, it just seemed like the fanbase in general never cared about him) but if they put him in his character should be left intact.

Like Capcom cares about a video series on youtubeJuri did incredibly well on the character popularity poll they did, she should be a lock. Then again Karin really should be too but I doubt we'll see her.

I'd take Birdie over Alex. I don't have much interest in Urien but his playstyle always seemed pretty unique.
I would be shocked if Akuma isn't in, but who knows with the way the roster is looking right now.How big are his chances, in your opinion? Almost guaranteed?
What in the fuck are you talking about, and what does any of that have to do with Alex?
Why would Capcom care about the TvW videos?
You realize you're talking about translation of a game released in 1997/98; what the words meant didn't mean much and you're over thinking it.
For one thing what was the original Japanese win quote assuming he had specific ones for each character?

No, you're right about all that. I think that quote is pretty irrelevant, as it's quite easy to get around and still be consistent with his character. In that sense, the worries about him not translating well into 2015 seem unfounded.You realize you're talking about translation of a game released in 1997/98; what the words meant didn't mean much and you're over thinking it.

I believe youI do
I was mainly joking, but a lot of people in the industry seem to care about that type of stuff now. Anyway, a lot if people would likely find that particular quote offensive.
I'm not sure if that reflects the original dialogue but he had separate quotes for each character. From a lot of the quotes in another thread his
I don't recall him placing that high but if I'm mistaken I retract the comment.

Overall the SF3 series did not do well and resulted in Street Fighter getting mothballed for years until Ono was able to convince them to let him make a new game.
Multiple polls have shown which characters STREET FIGHTER FANS (not just SF3 fans) like most. SF3 characters always do well. In the official Capcom poll, a SF3 character was in the top 10. 3 SF3 characters were in the top 20. In the recent Play magazine poll asked who people wanted most in SF5, Alex was #5, Q was #8. This wasn't a poll just for SF3 fans, but SF fans in general.
Not this again.
First of all, the idea of SF3 "not doing well" is...strange, considering it wasn't really sold anywhere. No, 2 year old ports to dying consoles don't count. It didn't sell well, 'cuz it wasn't sold.
It COULDN'T be sold. No consoles at the time could handle it.
Second, SF3 wasn't even the last Street Fighter related game released before SF4. CvS1 and 2 (and even MvC2, SFEX3) all came out after SF3. CvS series was basically Street FIghter X KOF. Plus, Alpha 3 came out after SF3:NG, actually got a PS1 port, and sold more than a million copies. And, yet, even though it "sold well", we never got an Alpha 4. Hmm...
It's revisionist history to blame SF3 for the SF fighting game drought...when SF related games continued to be released after SF3. It's also shortsighted to ignore the environment SF3 was released in. The series was just burnt out, plain and simple.
But, instead of saying "2D fighting games simply weren't killing it anymore in the PS1 polygon era" or "there were already a DOZEN Street Fighter games released within the 6 years before SF3", it's a lot easier to ignore context and just say "SF3 killed Street Fighter fighters for 10 years".
Not this again.

I hope Cammy won't be divekick retardedness all over again
but... where are my NEW characters?
I really thought we'd get him this time too. It seemed like all the pieces were coming together to have my top 5 SF dudes all in one game. (Charlie, Eagle, Urien, Abel, Alex)...I'd gladly trade these two for Eagle, though.
New characters... TGS, believe.

Here's hoping a character based on Rufus's original design.
Lame where are the third strike characters

I hope not.I think the biggest question of all is: will Cammy finally find a pair of pants?
I stopped caring around Alpha. Felt like the same game but with supers when I was a kid.*claps*. Always hate when people point to SF3's cast as the reason it didn't do so well.
