At the risk of sounding like a shit , I kinda hope no one on your list makes it in dude. SF has so many characters, let a couple of em miss game once in a while. Make some new ones, use some old ones, and give the wellworn ones a rest.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up.
I don't mind Sagat because he was the original boss and thus strong af, but much like with SF3 I just don't see a fit for him in this game. High, low projectiles? Sorry bro, Juri's got that. Extra meaty normals? That's Ryu now. I think he would need a massive redesign and I don't think that's what Sagat fans would want. Same goes for Akuma, I don't see the fit unless they radically change their gameplay or they radically change the way SFV feels (and I desperately hope they DON'T do that).
Announcement for the upcoming announcement of the announcement of forthcoming content. And yet I'll bite.

And his evil brother Shadowgeist.
Even if they don't play similarly, 3 shotos in one season is awful. Honda and Blanka is just the icing on the shitty cake too.
Makoto is bes tho.
We made it!!!
I swear the last time it came up someone linked something saying the complete opposite. She's also been in like 5 different fighting games, can't be that hard.

I will believe it when i see it. They have been saying "shortly*" for a while now.

50% accurate.

And ppl just picked whatever flag anyway. I played quite a few with Jamaican ones in Europe with 5 bars for example.

Thanks for the correction.

you're right. 3-5 connects are definitely playable but 1-2 =/
I've played 1-2's which were very smooth, and 4-5's that were rollbackcity. Wi-Fi makes a huge difference.

The function of command grabs like the SPD harkens back to how it used to be in older Street Fighter games; a conditioning method, like you already said. Only in atypical entries like IV, with a bare minimum of thought put in its whole design, was churning it out as a desperate reversal in the middle of block strings or on wake-up considered valid. The incremental increase in frame start-up doesn't mean much in the big picture here when the vast majority of safety nets that existed in Street Fighter IV for defense or specific (returning) special attacks have either been eliminated or heavily toned down, thus evening out the overall balance. If anything, command grabs are now considerably more potent (comparatively speaking) in tandem with other core mechanics and deliberate risk-reward elements that were implemented in V, with even a normal throw (which also received the 'higher frames and less range than before' treatment) being viewed as a deceptively dangerous tool in the hands of someone who fully understands the scope of frame traps. Well before Capcom announced their counter-measures to cripple the effectiveness of that one option select, no less. You could argue that Zangief hasn't been given enough tools to get the ball rolling, which I already disagree with, but the threat of grabs by and large still exists.
And that's ignoring that command grabs on the surface carry other benefits exempt from regular throws too, depending on the character. More range, more damage, more stun, different positioning for the next set-up, throw invulnerability, applicable in a combo, ability to wall bounce et cetera. Most of these also possess the same amount of start-up frames as the standard throws to boot, excluding characters like Necalli and Vega due to more flexibility in their gameplan or movement options.
Nothing you brought up strikes me as a problem.

I'm pretty sure Karin has a separate trademark on the SFV title screen, and the demand for Skullomania is pretty high. Arika hasn't exactly had the most output of late as it is, so I doubt getting the license would be that hard.

Everyone loves to whine about netcode when more often than not it's actually the matchmaking is to blame.
Your 5-bar match is laggy garbage? That's probably not the netcode's fault, it's the matchmaking being garbage at assessing connection quality.

Twelve AND Necro in the same game with Dhalsim? Do you just love learning to fight super complicated match ups or something?

yea, i get what you say. considering pretty much anyone has a good way around fireballs, they'd have to adjustments. i don't think juri is a replacement for sagat because sagat is the OG and i dislike her design anyway. put that tiger knee to good use.
and 15.
Capcom ain't no Bill Bellechick.
But yeah, for S2, I want more new characters. I don't want the roster to be chained to the floor by legacy. I feel like that's an issue KI is going through right now with S3.
yeah but for real tho
I mained Dudley in IV, and used Sagat a lot as well. I almost prefer them not being in, it's forced me to get out of my comfort zone. It's the reason I picked up Mika, the first grappler I've ever used, and am having a blast.

Capcom can feel free to take out Dhalsim if it gets too complicated.
Like as in today or end of this week at ncr? I cannot stand when ppl give an update about them giving an update soon.
Yeah, and even if you restrict it based on ping, it still takes less than 5 seconds. That 10 second timer makes you go 'wait? 10 seconds? That's not gonna error is it? OH shit! I'm already in a match!' Now if it was just rollback netcode it'd be fucking perfect.
Yeah, this engine is super solid, the foundation is there for something really great.
It would be a gigantic shame for it to be dropped.
They could've just, you know, said when it's coming and why at this point. There's ZERO excuse for them to not talk about it.
I agree 100%. Just trying to keep hope alive for myself that it's coming next week...since Capcom doesn't want to do that for me.
colors are now only unlocked by playing 500 ranked matches for that character.
Hitting super mega ultra gold unlocks next color

We still don't for sure that the order of the DLC presented in that image is the order they'll be released.
It's a relatively safe bet sure, but still a bet.
Alex, Guile, Juri, Ibuki, Balrog, Urien is the order I believe
The argument of "it was in SF4 therefore it was broken" holds no water because, again, this is a property of SPD that existed in previous SF games. If you did unsafe shit near gief, you got grabbed. Now the grab is so slow that you can just keep your pressure going.
Before, you could do wakeup SPD without much problem, now you need the CA for that. The equivalent argument would be taking away wakeup shoryuken from Ryu just because that existed in SF4.
Grabs as a threat still exist, but let's not pretend the startup frames aren't a huge nerf for him.
I feel unsettled that they said next update not March update.
It'd be amazing if we got info today, but I'm thinking "soon" is NCR.

Was that ever confirmed by an official source, or just based on that shadowy promo image
Yeah this is what people should be hoping for first instead of actually making lists of characters.
Well we could always decrease the startup, but make it crush counterable like DPs.

Shadowy Promo image.
We know that these 6 are coming, but not the order except that Alex is the first.
