Any tips for a newcomer? I haven't played since Street Fighter 2 on SNES as a kid. I consider myself a mid-to-high MK9/X, Injustice, and Smash player. I know the basics, I know essentially all of Ryu's moves, but am having a tough time adjusting my skills from MK.
Is there a good beginner character? Good combos to get started on?

Paul Pheonix with his hair down, Tekken 4 style.
j/k
Probably his formal military outfit like his SF4 alt. The silhouette suggests he has a tie IIRC. Not to mention his story mode art.
Cammy and Nash are regarded as the easiest to learn

Wow, you're at opposite ends of the spectrum there lol.
I'm also really excited for Guile, he's always been my main in every street fighter game he's been in.
Probably those "special" fights that they talked about around release, like the Shadaloo soldier and a superpowered Bison. Like the daily challenges, they were originally said to be in the March patch.
And, I mean, seriously, what else would you expect from a monthly patch? They can't just create a dozen new modes out of thin air. The game is gradually getting better but this shit takes time.

I'll give Cammy a try. Any reason in particular?

Ryu is of course the best beginner character as he's a jack of all trades. Next on the list would be Nash and then I'd say either Ken or cammy personally.
My suggestion would be to spend time perfecting your usage of his normals. For anti-airing, for general pressure, for counter-poking, for the neutral state.
Cammy is an offensive character with no overhead,command grab or fireball. You have to learn how to mix things up and how to maintain pressure with her. Though personally, I wouldn't exactly say she's beginner friendly.
I'd EXPECT Offline Versus CPU, since it's in store demo units. But knowing Capcom, they probably deleted the code for that and are wondering if they should re-create it from scratch.

Rashid, laura, and trials are all you need.
... yeah but Cammy is awesome.
Yeah, Cammy's execution is on the easier end but with her low health/stun I don't feel like she's forgiving.

I wouldn't either.
Ryu is generally the go to for teaching everything in these games. Ken's quite a bit different than Ryu, but could work the same as he has a lot of the same basic tools.

Man, I love this game when it's doing everything right.
Earlier this morning, it was just me and a few of my friends fighting each other in Battle Lounge. It was incredibly fun. We didn't hafta worry about points. We was just fighting and giving each other tips and goofing off. It was awesome.
There was this beautiful moment where me (Cammy) was fighting my friend's Ryu. We both barely had any health left. We kept pacing back and forth to see who would drop their guard first. I activated Cammy's V Trigger. I did a EX Cannon Spike just as Ryu was about to hit me and it was a DOUBLE KO. It was so hype.
Another beautiful moment happened... In one of my matches with my friends, Cammy and I were in sync. Like it was crazy. I felt like I had total control over her. It was amazing.
Also another piece of good news... remember how I kept saying how the update killed my Season Pass? Well, all I had to do was "rebuy" my Season Pass again from PSN and it came back for free.
Street Fighter V: A near 10/10 fighting game... but Survival Mode keeps it from being a 10.

Can't wait for April 30 11:59 pm.
I've never played Cammy in SF for, but I've found myself very interested in her latley. She's very fum in this game.
I hope it's not like his story artwork, or that photo in the story mode trailer. I want to see what they kind of redesign they can give him. Don't go to crazy tho!
I don't care what anyone says, always start with Ryu.

I'm excited for Guile

Considering the updates for the returning characters, I think it should be in good hands.
I would only expect Guile for sure. Anything else is expecting too much, honestly.
There's no telling if they're still behind on their planned features being implemented, and have even begun programming any reactive fixes.

I don't know if these are the daily things or something else.
I think some of the files are already in the files, they just haven't finished them or something.

Hope so. I like almost all of the updated old themes in SF5, but a lot of the new tunes I don't care for.
GOAT themes:
-Main menu
-Alex
-Mika
-Ryu
-Ken
-Cammy
-Zangief (love the Rocky vibe)
-Nash
-Karin

So...SF5 isn't always P2P: https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFigh...ne_of_sf5s_netcode_mysteries_solved_game_not/
Not really sure what to make of it.

What in the shit? What's the reasoning behind this?
And why is this being discovered almost 2 months after the game's release, one would think this would have been discovered more quickly?

Rashidoooo is an ear worm, but aside from that it doesn't have a lot going on? It's alright. I'm never gonna go listen to it outside of the game. The other two I can't even bring to mind which says it all I guess.
edit: you're right, FANG's theme is pretty dope (despite the character being a piece of trash)
He's gonna look exactly the same. He's gonna turtle, throw sonic booms, flash kick if you jump, spinning backfist you, randomly jab, just like Guile always has since forever. I wish I could fast forward past his reveal tbh. He's the anti-hype..

Heathen. Aren't you at least curious to see what they do for his V-skill/V-Trigger?

You see him wearing a shortsleeved dress shirt with a tie and sunglasses in Nash's story.

Would make sense for that to be his story costume with his regular look to be the default.
His premium costume better be cool though, Alex's was a fucking travesty. He looks like a poorly made mannequin.

He throws out a hadoken and tiger knee.
I'm, like, morbidly curious. Really I just want to see how annoying his V-Trigger will be. The safest idea I can think of is give him half-charge booms but with a meter that only allows like 4, but even thinking about Guile depresses me, so I won't.
Who's after? Juri?

I'd like Alex's premium better if he didn't have the cap and shirt. He'd just be MMA-Man, then.

Balrog
The problem is two fold.
(a) His eyebrows aren't covered in his premium costumes. HIS EYES LOOK FUCKING MANIACAL.
(b)HE IS A FUCKING HUGE MAN IN A TINY ASS SHIRT. It's like he slept over at his girlfriend's house and just picked up the first thing he saw when he heard he had to get to a fight.
It's ok for a regular alt costume but for a costume that you HAVE to pay to get? It's horrible.

Guile and Juri are the DLC characters i'm most excited for so i'm really happy to hear that he's next.

He and Laura must shop at the same place
He almost picked up the Bonita shirt too.

plz... Costume swap.
I'm pretty sure they wanted a 90's look for him. That type of shirt is something that a pro wrestler tears off. The big X on the front screams Degeneration X to me.

The concept is pretty nice. The execution leaves a lot to be desired.

And then who follows? According to the DLC images people speak of, at least.

This is the order.
June will have story mode, no character in june. Balrog will be may and then it'll be on July/August/September.

Thanks for the info. I've honestly only played Street Fighter on the SNES (and some matches here and there on IV) so I care mostly about Balrog and Guile.

FYI, there's been talk of redesigning Balrog similar to how they've "redesigned" Vega. It's possible he might not be a charge character anymore or that he might have changes to his established moveset.
