Street Fighter V - Charlie Nash trailer; beta for all pre-orders in NA

I'm definitely glad he's back, and I don't care that he's being mind controlled, but I do wish they kept his old appearance and stance. Still very excited about this.
 
I hope this game takes place after SF3

Or at least around the same time.

No, that was bullshit from the American movie.

Charlie Nash was a mentor of Guile, and taught him a lot of his moves. During an operation, he was captured and presumably killed by Bison, which is why Guile is always seeking revenge against him. Charlie was repurposed and brainwashed by Bison to become Shadow Charlie, which is what this character seems to be based on.

It's interesting because Capcom has been pretty much confirming this direction for years now. Just not in a main SF game.

The beauty of Guile is that he has always had a small number of very useful specials, and phenomenal normals. He doesn't need more specials.

This true, but as a Guile main I does always feel like the need to change him because how other characters are evolving and Guile is static.

Still so long as he is close to his Super IV self an not some of that nerfed Garbage I will be happy. Also depending on how those Teleports are they could be so risky that Guile wouldn't benefit from them and if his Specials hit harder then Charlie's then well Guile really doesn't *need* changing.

Guile really needs his recovery-less sonic booms to shine.
 
As a long time Guile player, please give my man more specials.

Charlie's moveset looks 3x as much Guiles.

Charlie just wants to make sure Guile knows his place. A "master" doesn't teach his pupil all his tricks. Just a Sonic Boom, heh.

Loving Charlie's moves though. Is that a raging demon-esque move we see?

Curious on his latest back story. Obviously he's had some work done. Illuminati work?
inb4 they decide to take "inspiration" from the Van-Damme movie haha!

Bring on the next reveal. Lovin' it so far.

I don't really like this change in the color scheme, or the addition of an outline on the characters. Now it does look like SF4.

Agreed. The original reveal sort of gave it a waxy, figurine sort of look. Different enough. I suppose they will continue to tinker with visuals for some time yet, though.
 
Holy shit, I am LOVING the new Charlie Nash!
Also was that Dictator at the end? Looks like they gave him a new outfit.
 
His moveset looks cool, but not a fan of the actual character. Can't wait to see Bison though, his SF4 version is really disappointing.

Yep i actually find it funny that some people appreciate this change after lots of people originally (and nonsensically) complained that SF5 looked identical to SF4.
 
What's the story line for Shadaloo? Were they dismantled before SF3? Does that mean this is pre-SF3 since Bipson is in it?
 
The game looks a lot smoother than before, although the tempo is still pretty slow I'm sure the final product will be amazing.

Charlie looks pretty sick.
Bison doesn't need to be in this game imo

I disagree, the game looks way better now.
 
The 8 world warriors and the 4 villians of SF2 are a must.

No way. Those characters have gotten plenty of inductions in every street fighter and street fighter crossover game in existence. It's time for most of them to hit the bench and let new characters shine.

I'd agree. Maybe it helps them keep things at 60fps though.

Of those 12 characters mentioned:
Ryu- In
Ken- Needs to be there
Guile- One of my favorites, but I think he could sit this one out.
Chun- In
Zangief- He can probably sit this one out if there's a new wrestler
Blanka- I feel like Ono will keep him in, but I wouldn't miss him honestly.
Honda- Should probably sit this one out, yeah?
Dhalsim- One of my favorites, but he can go if you have a different stretchy character
Sagat- Should probably stay, new moves too?
Vega- I really think he should stay
Balrog- I guess I'd be fine with him going, but he should probably sty there
Bison- Is basically in, apparentl
 
Damn, so Shadow huh? Really mixed up his moves.

That Dictator laugh doesn't sound like Norio Wakamoto. Wakamoto BETTER be Dictator again.

I didn't hear the laughter, but it would feel a little off if Wakamoto isn't Dictator, then again he was voiced by another VA who also did his voice really well in the Alpha (and EX?) games.

GENOCIDE CUTTER!? WE BERNSTEIN NOW

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!
 
He looks awful. Some kinda Frankenstien thing going on? Disappointing. Maybe I'll watch it a few more times and see if my opinion changes. This game looks really, really bad in general, compared to any other recent fighter though. I was hyped at the reveal but even after playing the barebones port of DOA5U for PS4 this game looks dated as fuck in comparison.
 
I like the brighter palette, personally.

And it still doesn't look like SF4. People are blowing that waaaay out of proportion.
