Agree with you guys. Leaks can certainly create some hype on their own but a good ol' fashioned reveal is always preferred.

Bamboe starts to activate the lag switch every time he's in a dizzy state. And after loosing he refuses to do a rematch when he accepted them after he wins.

Yeah, Akuma's reveal would be much less cool if we knew about him beforehand.
Last night, all I did during the election results was just play ranked (poorly btw) while blaring my edgy childhood Spotify playlist, full of System of a Down and The Offspring lol

Well, a Dan AND Cody reveal would complete my life.

Why don't Presidents fight the war, why do they always send the poor?
Ahhhh Salt.
I'm somewhat guilty of this. 9/10 I won't accept the rematch if I get utterly destroyed on the first set. I'll give someone the run back, but if on that first set they basically get a double perfect I'll save myself the further embarrassment.

I only run with the points if I get promoted to a new league after winning the first match of a set, and only because I want to be able to practice with people in higher leagues via Casual Match rather than being stuck on the edge of two ranks and never improving.

That's a grain of salt. A Rashid player who used a raw Vtrigger against a fully stocked Nash and then Rq when he has enough for a comeback. That SALT.

But.... if you are improving then you'll be able to rank up even further.
Honestly, you all care about points way too much IMO. Unless the connection was poo-poo, I never deny anyone a runback. It just seems rude, plus I feel like it's more fun when you both have gotten an idea of each other's idiosyncrasies and playstyle and so the match feels more "even" than it was before.
I only get annoyed if the set goes to 1-1 and the opponent leaves. Can we at least finish our Bo3 and apply the knowledge we've gained from the two previous matches? I keep in mind external factors that could be preventing them from continuing, though, so I don't get too frustrated, but it still sucks.
I also don't like it when the opponent is clearly paying attention on the other end but lets the timer go down to 0 while I'm waiting on another match. I don't know if they think they're making me feel salty or what, but stop wasting both my time and yours. If you don't want to play another match, just end the battle.
Yeah, I'll never reject a rematch to keep onto my points. Even when I'm going against a Platinum Zangief who already cost me 175 points in match #1 and who I know I'd lose #2 against. All part of the learning process, and people play differently when there's something on the line.

they could just be trying to think of what happened throughout the last match lol
Nice leak Kappa
There's that for when they let the timer count down to 2 or something before accepting the rematch, but for it to go all the way? Be courteous and end it and then think about whatever when you don't have someone else waiting on you.

there's also lag that can affect it too. In battle lounges sometimes I'd be stuck in the win screen or the game will still be loading to go back to the battle lounge menu screen and the opponents timer for readying up will almost already be all done or it'll say they're still in battle.

I don't care about points (heck, I lost almost 2000 points while learning Alex and didn't bat an eye) but I want to get matched up with better players in Casual (where I do most of my fighting) and unfortunately that necessitates being in higher leagues. I've only ever ran with the points twice; once after reaching Ultra Silver vs. a known ragequitter and once after reaching Gold cuz it was 3AM and I knew I'd choke if I kept playing P:
While I agree points don't matter, the amount of good players that open up when you reach platinum is staggering. In ultra-gold, I never fought anyone passed platinum. Now that I'm in platinum, I've faced people all the way up to Super-Diamond. I want to be facing these players, and if I'm constantly getting demoted, then ranking up, then demoted, etc, I'll be missing out on the best players for quite a while.
This is definitely a huge part of it. I made it to Gold a while ago and stopped playing ranked for months, since if I lost Gold status I'd be stuck playing people as low as Silver/Ultra Bronze.
But at the same time, it's natural to want to rise in the ranks in a game like this and it shouldn't be some grand mystery why people care so much.
Ha, were you Sieffre? GGs.

They revealed that silhouette picture and gave all the names before putting up the season pass for sale so I wouldn't expect anything different this time.
They kind of have to really. Not many people are going to buy a season pass off of blind faith. They'll probably do the silhouettes again.

Yep. Wasn't really very good to begin with; taking a 2-month break didn't help any with my execution.

I believe they showed that silhouette picture and gave the names at Capcom Cup right?
or was it an earlier event?
EDIT: Yeah, they showed off F.A.N.G for the first time at PSX/Capcom Cup last year as well as revealed the characters that'd be in the season pass. The season pass also became available after this announcement.
Oct during paris games week they announced 6 dlc characters were coming then in dec during PSX they revealed the characters.

They make him another shoto.
Then they announce Sagat, Sakura, Dan and Sean for S2.
lol
Missed this tweet from Ono on Monday

Yeah were definitely getting another character at CC. Sagat is probably a safe bet.

He has pyscho power... so I would probably see him having more Bison moves or maybe even Rose.
I just hope they don't try to use his story mode character model... looks terrible compared to how Bengus actually drew him.
tintin1029

Yeah. In all seriousness, I'd like a Bison-esque character that also has some Boxing tech. That'd be sick.
Also yeah, make a new model for him that's not his boring story mode one.
I got nothing against adding more shotos, epecially since we have very little atm. But 5 in one season?

could never

This is probably old news, but Eisbahn and the Secret Delta are from Otoren, the same Capcom mobile game that Zangiefs battle outfit is from.
Hes not a secret original newcomer after all.
Aha
Is it possible to read this magazine nowadays?
It's not a real magazine, just a fake comic book cover.

Anyone getting a large amount of laggy matches atm? Played a few in casuals today and they've all been either skippy or completely unplayable. Maybe it's my connection but it sucks either way. I just wanna play and clear my head after what happened last night. 
Can't win anything suddenly. What I noticed in Platinum right now is that the meta game is to always just walk back. Beats any normal pressure and walks you out of throw range. And almost no character has good long range low hitting blockstrings.
And since jumping isn't too hard you just try to not get into the corner and let your opponent hang himself. It feels brutal sometimes.
