I really hope boxers normals are decent. I don't want them to I've him the guile treatment in regards to his sf4 to sfv frame data.
Also wonder if aegis reflector is now a normal move for Urien as I don't know if they'd show off his CA like that in the trailer. Would make sense if it was his vskill and if they toned it down to only 2 hits. If it was a normal move I'd like to see regular be 2 hits and ex be 3 or 4. They might give him tyrant slaughter as his CA if that's the case.

I think I'm gonna give Balrog a shot. I've been meaning to pick up a charge character and he looks like a real brawler in this game. I'm guessing he will have to spend ex for his armored reversals since headbutt is his v reversal now. He looks really mobile too, his v skill will let him move forward while maintaining charge which seems pretty good. Can't wait to v skill and super through a fireball.
I kinda hope Reflector is actually his VT or CA because you're going to want to be able to cancel into it for the real fresh Reflector combos. I don't think they'd give it to him as a special move as it's too much access (unless they nerfed the shit out of it, which I don't want). Leaning towards VT with his CA being one of his other two SAs, or just some new shit.
That would leave his V-Skill open, though I don't know for what. None of his other specials make a lot of sense to me in that context, so I'm guessing it is just something new. Depending on how weird they wanna be, I could maybe see metallic sphere being his V-Skill and forcing you to hold back to fire it upwards, so you'd be able to retain charge for chariots in juggle combos.
Good shout on Reflector as his VT. That would make a lot of sense, and open up a lot of combo/mindgame potential without being completely unfair.
If it's VT, there could be multiple reflectors on screen at once (like Guile's baby booms), but if they each break after one hit it wouldn't be too bad.
I'm keen to see his VS. One/two-button fireball sounds a bit farfetched, and it seems like overheads are being converted into command normals (df.mp or something), so I'm sure it'll be something entirely new.

All this new character hype is making it really hard for me to stay loyal to Karin! Still, I have never been a huge Balrog fan but I really liked what I saw. I am digging the Shadaloo nod on the signage for the
casino, makes a bit more sense for a supposedly world-conquering general to be fighting there now.
Urien is probably going to be my secondary in the end though, he just reeks of cool. I'm convinced Juri is totally joining the Illuminati and working for him in the story mode, her wildcard status fits best with them in the current known plot.

This game hasn't even been out for 6 months and honestly, I like it more than I ever liked SF4.
The gameplay, the mechanics, the music, the graphics, the animations. It's just all soo good. And this game is only gonna get bigger and bigger.
Capcom at least were competent enough to know that a game-as-a-service needs to have a solid foundation in terms of gameplay to build on and they definitely provided that.

Oooh. Juri's new outfit is pretty ugly. Should've just kept what she had in SSF4.
He sounds just as dumb as 3rd strike.
So what was the peak number of viewers for the grand finals on twitch?
She needed a new outfit to contain that new upgraded rack of hers.

He sounds pretty weird in Third Strike as well
It was the dlc character poster released a bit ago
Balrog was on the middle amd urien was on the left. If someone could find that, i would be greatful.
I think I already played more SFV than SFIV, all versions included. It's a damn good game.

Balrog confirmed as a charge character? Regardless, he's my next "main" (honestly, since release, I keep skipping around the roster and its glorious--last time I did that was SF on the SNES.)

Here's hoping that this update is where Capcom starts to really turn this game around in a meaningful way.
2 characters, Cinematic Story Mode, 1 new stage, 3 alternate stages,costumes,and matchmaking fixes. I think the most important part are the matchmaking fixes and if they actually work or not.
Theres nothing bad about it lol
Its pretty easy to tell he has a full suit on

I know right? Every character is so distinct and well-designed, it's fun to play with pretty much anyone.

No way, her sf4 outfit was horrendous. This looks way better. It looks like they decided to cover her up a bit from her story mode reveal.
I always hated so
I hope they do a goodjob remixing it
Also besides possible innuendo, mever got why it was called crazy chillidog

Every time I do Balrog's Super I'm yelling "BIONIC AAAAARM"
Someone mentioned in the tourney thread it was 83K. Great numbers.

Wasn't it 85K last year for Ultra?
Dead game, etc.
Technically there was more hype since entrance music was piped through the stream and there was Stone Cold Keneth Bradley
Would like to know that as well, there seems to be contradictory information about that. I don't think we're getting them this time but I wouldn't mind being wrong.
Don't know if that's official, regardless there's at least one more blog update this week (Balrog Information) so look forward to that.

Another month, another missed update.
Does this mean July's update is also cancelled, if Boxer is ready for July 1st?
It's going to be a long wait for Juri to be released at the end of August.
It's way better!
What was this? Come on
Nah. I'm definitely not a fan of her new outfit. I hope the story/premium are better.

Yeah, that old outfit was better. I prefer it when the female costumes show more skin. The backside of Juris SSF4 costume reminded me of Christina Aguliera in the 'Dirrty' video
Dont like that new eyepatch either. Whats she got under there? Some kind of gross eye infection or an empty space from where her eyeball used to be? Yuck.

The eyepatch is standard anime stuff. She hides the eyeball with her Feng Shui Engine.
Unless it's still on the wrong side, like it was before lmao
Let's not even mention his 2nd impact voice
I'm not sure but they are still great numbers. The tension and hype towards the end last night looked immense, and then when that trailer dropped everyone went crazy. Hopefully EVO is just as good.

Yeah. I dont watch anime, but I have seen eyepatches on otherwise "cute" anime characters a few times and concluded/assumed that it is meant to make them more attractive somehow.

Tokido throwing out Ryu's HK way more than I'd ever thought. I mean, it won him a large number of matches but still, throwing that much unsafe stuff out there is dangerous.
Actually, if you go back and watch Daigo and Tokido's set, you'll see that Tokido was much more reckless overall than Daigo was. Perhaps the aggressive nature of Tokido's style fits more with this game than the overly safe zoning that Daigo does.
