Street Fighter V: Vega Reveal Trailer

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.

Or just make him a better shoto.

Look at that SWAGGER. TWO HANDS, fam. TWO HANDS.
 
Don't worry if your character doesn't make it into the initial 16.

Capcom surely learned their lesson from SFxT
(i.e. they have a ton of characters nearly ready to go as DLC, but they're just keeping them secret so no one flips out about them being on-disc).
 
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.

They revealed a character and you're acting like a child. Get over it.
 
So there are only 4 returning spots left, and we have no one from SF3 or SF4 so far. Karin, R. Mika, Alex, Urien rumour for the final 4? So no SF4 love? I guess there was no Alpha or SF3 in vanilla 4. But we'll see.
 
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.

I know what I'm talking about and I'm not repeating myself again. I'm just gonna leave this thread instead. Congrats to the Vega fans though, not what I wanted but I'm still happy for you.
 
Doesn't it just make you lose the other stance?

Well yeah, but I guess it all depends on how good unarmed stance is as opposed to claw stance. I have to imagine he loses a lot of his poking range without the claw, which is a big deal. Maybe the command grab makes up for it, idk. Too early to say.

You're so salty. I want less World Warriors back too, but Vega is one of those characters I was fine with coming back because he's unique and some of the stuff he had in omega mode made me think he would be awesome in this game.

After seeing the trailer I feel that I was right and he does look awesome in this game. He's different from SF2 and SF4.

I too want Alex, Urien, and Karin to make it in. We'll just have to wait and see.

Lets be honest here, the only reason Vega made it into the game is for Vega vs Chun round 2 in story mode. I wouldn't accept anything less.

He doesn't need to be, we have enough shotos and people are tired of them. He should just develop a new style...but keep the basketball

Also he was one of the few characters who didn't get to move on past SF3. I just want to see him in at least one more game.
 
Seeing Vega confirms that Capcom is going to play the initial 16 super duper safe to get buyers locked in. Couple of new fighters, core "icons" and some recognizable returns. They may get funky with DLC but not the initial 16. =/

He doesn't need to be, we have enough shotos and people are tired of them. .

Since when are people tired of shotos? Are these different people who are tired of the same cast since SF2?
 
So all the "leaked" rosters got BTFO since Vega/Claw wasn't on any of them right?

I can only think of one "leaked" list that had the full roster and it was already debunked after the first new reveal. All the other rumors were about single characters.
 
Well at least I now know that if none of the newcomers take my fancy I can always fall back on my man Vega.
Though I'm not digging his look as much as previous games, it's not bad but SF4 nailed it for me.
 
Haven't watched the trailer yet so maybe he looks awesome, but why? Again? I dont have anything against Vega but is he really such an important character that he needs to be in another first iteration taking up a slot? He's one of those characters you could legitimately forget is in the game.

guys, look at it this way: One less chance to see Juri on the roster.
:( don't be mean to Juri, she's a nice lady

The irony is entertaining.
