That's good news to me. Revamping classic characters (and their design, in cases like Dhalsim) makes them fresh.

I actually think the logo was inspired by Pancrase:
Pancrase was a popular Japanese pro-wrestling/MMA hybrid organization in the '90s, and Alex fights using a combination of pro-wrestling and MMA.

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.
The only thing that might call that into question was the order they mention the characters in this timeline.
They list Ibuki before Balrog, but maybe that was a mistake. I think this was released more recently though. I'm leaning to the conference teaser image carrying more weight, as I can't see Barrog not making it in before the story.

I wonder if it would be difficult to mod Alex to do the chops as he does the squats in his victory pose?

That timeline is a bit fuzzy. It doesn't confirm anything because the each month's DLC character is referred to by number while if it was confirmed, they would have given the name.
At least we know Guile is the one for this month. And my bet is that Balrog will be the one for next month.

When the more pressing updates are applied, eventually, I wouldn't mind seeing an online mode that lets you bet some fight money against your opponent... Would such a thing even be acceptable in a gaming community like this?

Hmm, Zenny definitely not but I dunno about Fight Money.

It'll be really funny

No way. Of all the charge characters in SF, Guile is the quintessential charge character.
If he's not a charge character then there's no point in making anyone else one.
And I would drop Guile like a sack of puppies if he wasn't a charge character.
They probably won't do that cuz people might snag cheap second copies somehow and bet against dupe accounts for cheap FM

They look like Donkey Kong Country characters.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
100% sure he will be a charge character.
There was no reason to change Nash otherwise.

Her animation for when she gets out of stun is pretty cool too.
EDIT: This is CrabMilkMickey on Dhalsim right?

I bet he didn't remember if April had 30 or 31 days so he had to keep the release date close to his chest.

I thought they were going to troll us by putting out Alex on March 30, and then the next character on April Fool's Day.

Trolling usually isn't a positive thing though.
Would also mean selling more copies. XD
anyone seen this yet?
all speculation, but still..pretty interesting
i always wondered what that icon was for, but i never paid attention enough to notice sometimes it changes

Well, as we've seen so far, they clearly don't care about that.

Someone should find that icon in the PC files and see if it's named to try and confirm if that's true.
I wouldn't even know where to look

Ah I used to watch Pancrase so much growing up. Good times.
Odds on SFV going free to play by the holiday season (after all six DLC characters are released)?

Considering they don't even have a zenny shop up, I'd be shocked if they had an entire F2P system ready by the end of the year.

I'm happy that Guile is going to make the April release but I wish Urien could get moved up. If he has to do with the story mode though I can see why he would be the last one. Maybe he could end up being the "boss" character of SFV. Sucks because I played him a lot in 3S and I can't wait to get my hands on him.
Now we just have to see if Capcom does their release announcements/trailer earlier than the last day of the damn month this time. I'd hope for an April 19-21 release date for Guile but who knows.
I am leaning more towards the announcement of season 2 DLC. By then they should almost everything together.
I will never buy you a beer in my entire life.
Guile can potentially be an AMAZING rework. All of the returning chatacter's reworkings have been amazing. Imagine a vskill that allows him to jump in the air while still retaining his charge and shoot AIR SONIC BOOMS.
For the most part I hope he's the same though.
Oh, goddammit. I was in a match against a Super Silver Alex where I won once and he won once. We were 1-1 during the last match, he landed a Crush Counter with his foot when I had very little health left and he was about to combo into a kill. Right at the moment the CC landed: disconnected from the opponent, and 10006 error on my end.
This is the third time today, but I swear it loves to choose VERY appropriate moments for it to happen. Real nice. There's no way anyone could look at something like that and not say "Rage Quit."
Can't even log into the game server anymore: error 21004.

Playing for the first time tonight in a good while, getting super wrecked as expected but having moments of actually executing exactly what I want to do. More importantly though thank fucking god for Battle Lounges, can just set up a small 4 person lobby for first to 2; even if take two straight losses the wait isn't too long to loop back around for anyone. Going forward going to try to dedicate at least one hour a day to the game, I want to be at least not a total scrub anymore D:

They've already confirmed that he'll stay as a charge character.
I think some of the more casual fans have dropped the game, but their ranking stays there forever.
So on average the skill level raised -even without accounting for people learning- and thus we are facing harder challenges on the lower ranks.

For all those that have issues with Survival mode, what about it should be fixed?
Interesting, and that would make sense, because I've been facing Silver league players recently who are way better than I would expect.
Take out the costume color unlocks and leave it as is.
No one ever really cares about survival modes. We're just being forced to play it for unlocks and no arcade mode.
Problems:
- The AI is random, so it can go HAM on you at any time
- You get nothing if you fail, so you waste a ton of time for nothing
- Boosters are random, and can fuck you over in times of need
- Color unlocks are per Costume, not per Character, so you have to do it three times PER costume
- You only get FM and EXP once, despite that last one
- If you get disconnected from the server while playing, you lose all progress for that run and can't start over
- You get no FM or EXP while doing it offline
- Trying to Matchmake while playing Survival can slow the game down
How to Fix:
- Make it a lower, set number of Opponents on a set difficulty, instead of ever-increasing difficulty
- Allow players to choose how many points to spend on Boosters after each level
- Make Color unlocks once per character, not per costume, especially since you can't buy said colors anyway
- Allow players to continue a run if they get disconnected
- Matchmaking shouldn't slow the game down
Yeah. I've played a lot of super bronze, and even bronze players that should be silver and higher.

Alex is a ton of fun. Has anyone compiled some BnB combos for him? I had a quick session against my boy last night, managed a parry and a V Trigger CC combo into CA. I have to remember to jab as AA then dash under to other side. Also didnt realize you can confirm CA off his LK, MK Elbow.

Bafael released a bnb combo guide for him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJRMPVwWq6Q written version is in the description if you prefer that.

But claw is already in...
Nice one.
Haha, that's a swap for Garrett to make.
Removing the alt colors from the mode and just tying them to character usage like SF4.
