He looks like a cool ninja dude. Not my kind of character, but I definitely appreciate the care that's gone into him. I hope he ends up being a stance character!

His Critical Art is such a rip-off of Mai's Climax in KOFXIV.

are you ever correct about anything

 

[Spman2099]

That's like telling a joke and stopping midway through cause you realize before the end that it's probably not that funny.

I didn't understand that at all, but it still hurt my feelings, Bruce. Unless it was a compliment... at which point I will allow it.

 

[selo]

Blegh, no interested. I'll pass. When's makoto?!

 

[Durden77]

Damn, he looks sick. English VA seems pretty awful though. Thank god for individual VA options.

Their decision for S2 characters to be all new IMO has turned out extremely well, and will add a ton of character to this game in the long run. If S3 brings back some more vets, SFV is undoubtedly going to have the most impressive and varied roster in SF history.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Visually he looks cool but doesn’t look fun to use.

Looks like Akuma is all I’ll own from Season 2

Bring on season 3. Has to be better than 2 was.

It was an insult

to both FANG and Dan

Zeku turns into Makoto as a taunt... that is her new canonical existence in Street Fighter.

Dan is tough. He can handle the insults.

It already had the best launch roster in SF history. They kept around the actually good SF2 characters and did not bring back the garbage ones because of slavish devotion to nostalgia.

The only downside was no SF3 characters at launch. If the game had launched with the S1 DLC + Akuma + an actual final boss character the roster would have been unimpeachable.

And I say this with none of my favorite fighters are in this game yet.

 

[NastyBook]

Love his Lupin-esque theme.

Thanks, gonna watch it later

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Just another character I probably cant keep out with Menat. No thanks.

 

[cryptosporidium]

I want this character why do i gotta wait

 

[ZangBa]

The theme is really nice. Too bad it's SFV tho.

 

[Skab]

The theme is really nice. Too bad it's SFV tho.

What a dumb thing to say. If you don't like SFV why are you watching character reveals for it?

Why not just simply say nice music and leave the shit posting out of it?

This topic about sfv is really nice too bad it's sfv tho.

Obviously to hurt your feelings, duh. Maybe I like SFV but also like talking shit too.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Damn the DLC characters continue to be awesome. I really like this old/young mechanic. He better have some sick looking shoes in his nostalgia outfit.

Is he Ibuki's boyfriend?

Well Ibuki was looking for men at Kanzuki Estate

 

[TheTylerRob]

If I have like 60k fight money will I be able to afford him before release by doing the weeklies or am I dropping 6 US doll hairs on this dude?

 

[Blueblur1]

Quality post. /s

 

[Rymuth]

Where's Blanka?! Where is Ken?!

Screw that. Where's E. Honda? Guy was on an SNES cover, for cripes' sake.

Make Honda the cover character for SSF5, I say!

 

[Reani]

only 1 week left before release (24th october) so you better hit up dat survival mode. (easy is doable on all characters with just mashing)

 

[Blu(e)]

Digging the Strider sword sounds.

I'm Ultra Plat so I guess I'm spending some real money.

 

[Gren]

I think this is the best old-man design I've ever seen in SF. Full of charisma.

Hope he's more orthodox to use than Guy.

 

[Tizoc]

Here's some early and well drawn Zeku fanart

Which is his real form though old or young? And how did Guy even manage to beat him lol

Now that's what I call Kappa.

 

[Gren]

Can only assume the old one. He already appears older than his VT form way back in Alpha 2.

 

[MrCarter]

Indeed.

Yes looks really nice.

 

[Raiku]

That theme is flames, let me get my hands on him

YUNG??

I'm gonna miss S2 all new characters

 

[Spman2099]

Yup. Dumb comment.

 

[NoizyChild]

His old form, which is why they switch to it at the end of the trailer when they show him alongside the rest of the S2 cast.

 

[Punished_Snake]

Can't wait, love ninja characters but dislike Ibuki and I don't consider Vega a real Ninja haha, so finally a ninja character in SFV (for me).
He looks so cool and fun to play.

 

[PSqueak]

man, im about to have enough FM for a new character and it's between him and Menat.

cant decide which i like more.

Akuma can fuck off tho.

dont buy menat before season 3 patch notes. right now she is so hard to play that its only fun for real good players or masochists. maybe her 2nd vtrigger will ease up things

 

[Zero-ELEC]

What's the character on his shirt?

 

[RedAssedApe]

Wait so is that him in the background or is that strider?

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

The game has too many characters.

 

[MegamanXZero]

What's the character on his shirt?

武
Part of 武神 (Bushin)

 

[Kashiwaba]

The game has too many characters.

Funny how they almost doubled their launch roster in less than 2 years, yet no one gives capcom the credit for that and almost always called lazy, especially when you consider all new characters are unlockable for free if you want to.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

武

Ah, for Bushinryu. Makes sense, since it appears only(?) when he's young/using that style...

 

[Jaded Alyx]

The game has too many characters.

.................?????

 

[Whales]

dunno why yall think zekus vt is an auto combo

im betting on it being a juri-like vt

 

[kirblar]

I think it's a lesson for them going forward- they like starting with 16 because of tradition (SSF2) but it's a low amount on the base roster relative to their competitors nowdays.

I personally like what they did by starting with a small roster and expanding it ever two months, it gave me more time to try and learn every character, especially in SFV case where everything is built from scratch and there was no arcade version so basically this was the first edition.

Aren't you glad you aren't "looking forward to" Honda, DeeJay, Blanka and T Hawk?

 

[Giolon]

I don't understand why he turns between young and old. Is he young or old?
