So if I were to bet... I'd say this is an AE situation where the Japanese arcade release is going to have 2 exclusive characters for a couple months before they're added in the console season 2.

Capcom hates Ken
I heavily doubt that's happening.
The stage is likely Bison's SFII stage. As for the two slots, if I had to guess, they're probably for the first two Season 2 characters.Apparently the patch also added two more character slots and a stage slot:
That would depend on how "customized" the arcade version is compared to the PC version it's based on. If they made a ton of changes to fit arcades, I could see them beta-testing characters in arcades early on and releasing them for PS4 & PC players later.

This likely means nothing, they just wanted to make it more organized or whatever reason programmers would put it there.
Or Capcom's about to drop a bomb and announce 2 characters coming before the end of the year.
Or S2's only gonna have 2 new characters
It's probably not the latter of the three. Personally, the first scenario sounds more likely, but I do see the value of Capcom dropping a genuine surprise out of nowhere for the sake of hype (which would be nice, considering that the entire first season of DLC characters leaked before the game came out).This likely means nothing, they just wanted to make it more organized or whatever reason programmers would put it there.

It would certainly give players more of a reason to play the game in arcades

When's the maintenance over?
Eh, having the game in arcades would be enough justification for the Japanese. As much as I'd love for the States to get some official SFV cabinets, it feels like the arcade version being made from a variant of the PC version was a move to appease the Japanese players.

All I'm hoping for is that maybe my Round 1 might get a SFV cabinet sometime.
Some Round 1's are getting Tekken 7 by the end of the year apparently.

I hope Decapre is further completed (and made complementary).
I really want season 2 to have like 8 or 10 characters, especially since it looks like SFV is Capcom's only fighting game this generation. They may as well dump everything into it.
ya, linn kurosawa should be in

Yeah, it's probably just a template.
While I agree with this post in general, isn't smurfing pretty common in Starcraft actually?

Yup , it was probably there just so they could put Urien/Juri whereever they wanted.
Certainly not "common," seeing how you need to purchase game licenses for completely new accounts if you want to smurf. SCII does such a fantastic job of matching players against opponents of their skill level 99% of the time, and quickly too.
About that new untitled stage, XKira found the answer....

Those Hinata and Tiffany models are way too low poly to be playable characters... even if they decide to make Ed a playable character I hope they'll add a lot more detail to him over his story mode model.

Oh gosh, if Tiffany made it into this game I would die. I've been craving her in a new fighting game since like, CvS2.
So? They have something to work with, look at low poly Hugo in Super. They eventually got around to making Hugo in SFxT and Ultra.
Also it's just to start off a season 2, not be the full season 2.
Ed would be cool but if we're talking lazy then Hinata and Tiffany are easier since Capcom doesn't have to come up with new playstyles or movelists for those two in a hurry.
Yeah I always wondered what the hell he was saying in Japanese.

I highly doubt Hugo's SFxT model was built off of his background SF4 model.
The playable character models are high detail done in Zbrush.... low detail background assets are just done in Maya, Blender, Max, etc. It's literally faster to start the model from scratch in Zbrush then try to add detail onto the background model (which are usually disproportional)
Also you couldn't just drop a Rival Schools movelist into this game.... they had air combos, team attacks, and a lot of other things that would have to be totally overhauled. I mean look how much they even had to change Birdie, Mika, and Karin to work in this engine...
It's time to dance.
They have something to work with, Kyosuke was rebalanced to fit a SF based game in CvS2.
Ed is completely new and requires more thought.
I'm not saying no to Ed, I'm just saying I want a bajillion characters.
So maybe that Dubai airport stage we predicted would be in the game pre-launch? Gives me hope for Ryu's temple and F.A.N.G.'s stage seen in their character artwork.

Yeah I really need to work on not letting matches get to me. I've not been that annoyed in a while.
He was stealing turns after standing heavy kick, but only maybe 1/2 of the time. In block strings he was mashing DP out of them, but again only 1/2 of the time. He also switched his gimmicks between rounds. So in one round he'd be doing that, then in the next he'd do light tatsu then immediately DP. It was like he was going through some sort of routine of bullshit gimmicks. Some next level flowchart nonsense.
It didn't help that it put me on tilt too, causing me to DP him and do stupid stuff myself. So that didn't help. Though most of that stupid stuff was pretty effective on him since he was always pressing something anyway.
Apparently the patch also added two more character slots and a stage slot:
Sagat and SF2 era Sagat
People definitely build up a level of flowchart as time goes on. I have one set myself that I go through on people who I think aren't familiar with the matchup
I thought Ryu's background was just the left side of Kanzuki Estate?

Has anyone datamined the alt colours for the Red Bull costumes yet? Might splurge on the Chun-Li alt if it has a colour I like.
So we might be getting a Dan's Dojo mini-game & a Dubai stage (as mentioned by another GAFer earlier).
They didn't go all out ridiculous with this like the concept art and it kinda looks worse because of it. I'm shocked.From X-Kira:
damn this along with extra battle and arcade mode could be a good relaunch of the game. expecting a trailer showcasing all of this during PSX.
I'm pumped. All that stuff would really help with appealing to non-hardcore fans.
I still think another huge problem is player retention. They should overhaul Demonstrations and/or replace it with a robust tutorial mode. If they attempted to teach players and make it a rewarding experience more folks may play online and stick with the game. I can think of so many things they can do. (Honestly they can start by incorporating Gief's Gym into the game.)
