Are there any tournies this weekend? I figured they'd save the trailer for that. Eleague is this Friday.

It's a possibility
The USA team is probably just waiting on the Japan team for confirmation that the patch will be coming in April and that there isn't a delay to it.
John D. said "soon" a week or so ago. Soon has gotta be close.
Capcom treating us like we were kids on a road trip. Everytime we ask "Are we there yet?" They just reply "Closer than we were."

Ryu got it worse but Ken is not "totally" fine. Momochi, Eita, Chris T are all doing worse with him, he moved from top tier to middle of the pack if you ask me and has matchup issues with almost all top tier. The elements he's supposed to be good at need adjustment like target combos whiffing when you are trying to counter poke, you have to counter poke against a lot of the cast as Ken because their buttons are better etc...And why am I even using professional players as a barometer to how much a character dropped. I played Ken for over 600 hours, I can tell you for sure, he got MUCH worse. Ask any Mika player if they are performing as well as Fuudo? lol...
Yeah, Ryu got it worse, but Ken is not fine. Fine to me is top tier, which everyone is capable of being if Capcom would stop nerfing. I hate middle of the road characters who hardly excel at anything. Ken is tip-towing over there (he's still strong in the corner, good pressure) but Ryu is absolutely what I hate about Capcom's philosophy. Him, and Alex, and Fang, are just mediocre. It's just bad lol..Every character is going to have natural bad match-ups, but no one shod be mediocre.
Laura will still have her teeth at least

Ken in his story costume looks like he needs a good teeth cleaning.
Apart from E-League there are no CPT tournies this week - next one is on the 28th at Dreamhack. Not sure about E-League showing a trailer though as I think they would rather do it on thier own CPT events.

Yeah, Rog is really good, maybe the best in the game, I personally think it's a tie between him, Necalli, and Karin though. He's in a good space IMO, hardly anything needs to be done with any of those characters, they are fine. Rog truly does have a weakness, his comeback is crazy, but you can bully him on wakeup. Chun in S1 really didn't have much of any weaknesses.
for the love of all goodness Capcom, just leave the top tier alone this time, they're all fine. Even Cammy with her brain-dead buttons. (they can tone down how plus she is, but it's all good) just buff characters who aren't getting it done. Like I think they did a really good job with Sim for example.

They DID show an extended trailer of MvC:I during the ESPN rebroadcast of Capcom Cup.
It's not unbelievable that they would do something similar here with E-League.
You could be right. We shall see soon!

I missed the eleauge show. It's coming back this week, right?

Yup, Group B happens on April 21st.
I'm hype cause it's gonna be Saturday morning for me when it starts, and I can easily watch this on youtube which works better for me than Twitch.

I've never understood this new idea that you have to have an invincible reversal to have solid defence, when backward walkspeed and a 3 frame jab are both almost as usable.
Vega can just walk out of so many throw setups that catch other characters.

Can't wait.
When you look at Kolin, she honestly doesn't look like the type of character who is as slow as she is. I assume it's meant to balance out her various command dashes, and I get it, but still. Every time I start walking with her, I'm like, "this doesn't feel right..."

Give us the new character trailer already man
You want new characters? Watch the Ultra Street Fighter 2 trailer. Evil Ryu and Violent Ken! Brand new characters! Totally not lazy pallet swaps! BRAND NEW!!!!
They couldn't even be bothered to change the win poses, so "Violent" Ken still gives the peace sign. How very violent of him.
He's telling the opponent, rest in peace. Very brutal
they must think she's too thicccc

Well with the INSANE range on her normals, we can't give her good walk speed too.
Imagine if she had a poke that could hit almost halfway across the screen, was a CC and she still had good walk speed!!!! Such a character would be broken.

It's entirely possible. But to be fair, it was ESPN airing the Capcom Cup. While Capcom likely had a big hand in getting SFV on E-League, it's not actually part of the CPT.
In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if we got something today, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Capcom does typically put up their SFV blog posts (if they have one to put up) on Tuesdays, right?
Or Thursday. It will be exactly one month since the last blog update on the 20th so we'll see then. Not holding my breath though.
Guess that explains Laura's walk speed too.
No, pretty sure that's prelims, looking for Group A

Ah yes that was on March the 30th. Not sure about the first live show from tbs yet.
Here are the numbers for Group A. 159K. 26% drop but good demo key nnumbers.

Maybe there's no new character this month, just the retro Bison stage
Thanks for that.
On Sunday night I started to consider the possibility that there's no character this month. John D might have said "soon" (on twitter last week) but that didn't specify anything. Seeing that we've had a character get delayed before - Ibuki - I personally don't doubt a scenario where the character is teased and/or revealed at the end of this month and released next month.
Maybe but we've been told to expect character updates every other month so failing to deliver in April would be kind of a big deal. Not like this hasn't happened before, though.
Thanx hope it holds, group a was pretty great

What do you guys think of the concept of "Premium Skins" for this game?
A skin that not only changes the look of the character but also the look of some special moves.
I'm imagining Violent Ken as a Premium Skin. Some slight ambient purple particle effects on the character, change the skin (obviously), add a filter to the voice (like Nightmare Geese in KoF XIV) and finally make all the fire effects purple. Evil Ryu would work similarly.
Also imagining Heel Rainbow Mika. Not just change the skin, but also change Nadeshiko entirely too, making her look completely different. Maybe add a particle effect to her command grab or something?

I'm sure the price would be too high for me to care

So like Arcana skins from Dota 2? Idk if I'd buy it but sure.

Yes, not unlike that. Though knowing Capcom they'll also price it the same.

would make Capcom a bunch of money....
I would be completely in for a Shadaloo Cammy premium costume that gave her Psycho Power-style purple special moves. Maybe also make her win pose a salute like in Alpha.

Surprised the school costumes are coming so soon.
Retro outfits were announced like 10 months ago and still haven't dropped.

No character news
No patch news
What in the hell Capcom
Edit: Ohhhh fuck. I didn't notice that other part.
Either the update was delayed or it's going to be on April 25th, along with these costumes and the stage.
I mean, we're supposed to.

Well, if more content is coming, either the patch is coming by itself, or it's the patch and the character in one blog post that they didn't want to drown.
They said more content for April so guess we'll just have to wait and see.
