Street Fighter V: Vega Reveal Trailer

Vega is cool. Not sure if i'd have put him in my top 12 returning characters for launch, but definitely worse choices out there.

What happened to his theme song though? Or is that just generic trailer music in the video?

I'm pretty sure none of the trailers have used the character themes, and judging from the released snippets of themes for Ryu and Ken, we should get a pretty sick remix of Vega's SF2 theme in the game.
 
Just fuck Capcom. Can't even move on from a game that came out in the early 90s. God forbid we actually have some fresh returning characters.

And don't bother avatar quoting me because I accept I'm salty Alex didn't get revealed but this is still a terrible roster decision.

It is not terrible, this is what brings people back.
This is why when you mention Street Fighter you think of the characters from Street Fighter II and not Street Fighter 3.
Get over it.
There will be more non SF II characters sprinkled in, and more as DLC.
 
I think his face looks better than Ken's...

You can tell who the bad guy is from eye size!
 
Now part of me is hoping Blanka is in

Partially because he was one of my mains in SF4 but also because I want to see the salt raining down from the heavens because I know how much people hate him
 
Meh, Vega might be my least wanted character of the entire SF catalogue lol.

We better get some SF3 cast confirmed soon dammit.
 
Vega's a great addition. So far predictions have been off, which is why I'm hoping they bring back this character and re-do his fighting style so he isn't a shoto.

Sean needs to come back.
 
I think there's something to be said about Capcom using too many SF2 characters to try and get a good number of lapsed fans in the door, but I don't think Vega is the way to do it. Vega has never been high on my play list, and he simply looks ho-hum as ever to me.

It feels like
8 from SF2
4 from Alpha
4 from SF3

at this point. Maybe they cut 2 from SF2 and get 2 from SF4 in there, like Juri and Abel, but this is the first character they've chosen that I'm not sold on.
 
He's been changed as much as Ken, Nash, and Birdie so there's no way to know how "boring" style will be like now. There is literally no pleasing some people other than giving them their own horribly constructed dream rosters.
Like I said, the reality is that most people will be crouch-creeping and poking like there's no tomorrow. Fun!

And in honesty I have no dream roster personally - I don't really even have a main; I just wanted to see more new or unseen characters from the Capcom archives. The familiarity / comfort characters are already in the roster for people who haven't touched a SF in ages, why add another old school World Warrior. It's not about wanting my favourites in (though Urien would be cool... and I say that as someone that barely used him in Third Strike :P), it's just about it seeming so boring and wasteful to include him, regardless of the actual possibilities using him.
 
Oh Capcom is just remaking Street Fighter II again. Awesome! This is exactly what I was hoping for, and what fighting games really needed!
 
Honestly, I feel the faces look weird in stills because of how exaggerated the expressions are, in motion they look a lot better.

Vega cool as fuck

Well I'm sorry that the same boring, re-hashed characters from 91 keep appearing in every game. I'm SO sorry that people don't love these characters and are sick of them taking up spots of other characters that haven't been seen since 99 and earlier. I hope you can forgive me for not liking the clear signs that this series is going to constantly re-use the same goddamn characters every game 'cause 'this is what brings people back'.

People dislike things you don't like. Get over it.
 
Her costume is antiquated. It's time to modernize it and make it into something that a fighter would actually wear.

Yes, because looking at the rest of the roster, they are all definitely wearing real fighting gear...

Everyone wearing real fighting gear would make this, any fighting game pretty damn bland. No one wants that.
 
because, IIRC, there's been a bunch of other "leaked rosters" that lined up with the siliconera leaks that are now debunked

But the four characters that Siliconera supposedly revealed could still be in.

At the very least they'll be DLC characters.
Really hoping there won't be 8 SF2 characters though I'd settle for 8 characters that were in SF4 :P
 
Basically the only remaining SF2 character I wanted in the roster. On top of that, they redesigned him the way I hoped they would. His backflips is now just his V-Reversal and he can combo from his Barcelona. So is his V-Trigger a rose that leads to a homimg slash attack? It seems like he can cancel into it, as well.

Fuck are you talking about? Every fighting game ever reuses a ton of the old characters. There will be plenty more characters revealed and plenty added as DLC.
