All this salt makes me pleased when what I say comes to pass.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I know, what I'm asking is why would he say that if he didn't think it was rooted in something solid? There's gotta be some fire there in order for that smoke to start billowing. Otherwise he wouldn't have weighed in that confidently.

Talking about what he "thinks" is anything but confident to me.

I wish I could find the tweets

 

[BronsonLee]

Never Trust Ken Bogard

 

[Zyrox]

I'm away from the internet for 3 hours and of course Capcom drops this then. Vega coming outta nowhere like the goddamn ninja he is.
Not a fan of this character personally but I'm happy for his fans. Also lol @ the salt in this thread. Still hoping we get some more footage of Necalli soon. All we have is still his trailer (and I guess now some bits in Vega's, but I wanna see full matches)

Spoiler

Hakan when?

 

[AlexIIDX]

Eh, first character I find dissapointing...I don't see what's wrong with the face though...However I'm pleased that all the rumored lists got blown up. Now anything can happen.

 

[Weeaboosuke]

It's cool to see Vega again, but this really seems like a filler announcement imo. I expect the next couple of reveals to be pretty sick.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Talking about what he "thinks" is anything but confident to me.

That doesn't make any sense, though.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Wow I was just asking about Vega or Sagot or Balrog in the roster thread a few days ago. Most thought there was little chance at any of em.

Awesome it was Vega.

With the way they are showing off combo's and the overall style of fighting I think Balrog would be an awesome fit on this roster

 

[bob_arctor]

Eh, not too happy he's taking up a slot but I can't begrudge his fans. My biggest complaint? The character model is still too thick and heavy looking imo. We need a return to that Super Turbo athletic slimness. Lithe, not lunky.

 

[Degen]

It's cool to see Vega again, but this really seems like a filler announcement imo. I expect the next couple of reveals to be pretty sick.

This is the "every leaked list is fake" reveal

Now they have everyone's attention

 

[SoundPulse]

Not at all surprised to see Claw, but I do hope we see more Alpha love.

karin pls

 

[KAL2006]

This further confirms my theory that the green section of the roster screen is SF2 characters.

 

[Moaradin]

Shadaloo seems to be heavily featured in this game so I think we'll get Balrog as well. SF5 doesn't have a Boxer yet.

 

[ZdkDzk]

That doesn't make any sense, though.

It's just an oppinion. I remember him getting upset when people started taking it as a part of the leak and treating it as gospel.

 

[Vic-Rattlehead]

these seem to come in two so id expect another in a few days time,

roo - chun
chuckles - bipson
cammy - bridie
kenneth - necalli
vega - ?

 

[MissDeviling]

I like Vega but I think I preferred the shirtless brunette look. His shirt makes him look a bit too big.

 

[FinKL]

Amazing news, Vega was in no leaked lists if I remember correctly so the roster is still up in the air

 

[J 0 E]

Never been a Vega player but I like SFV's approach with the new fighting stances + V-Trigger



now I'm interested in him.

 

[Momentary]

He looks great, but damn at the blondes in this game already. Birdie, Cammy, Charlie, Ken, Vega. That's half the reveals right there. More than half actually.

 

[ElTopo]

Lame.

Thumbs down.

 

[Acquiescence]

He looks great, but damn at the blondes in this game already. Birdie, Cammy, Charlie, Ken, Vega. That's half the reveals right there. More than half actually.

Let's get D.Dark in there and make it half a dozen.

 

[mreddie]

Give me Juri, Mika and Haggar and then, I'll think about it.

Spoiler

I'm getting it anyway.

 

[Cryxok]

I like the Beauty and the Beast motif with the trailer. Vega vs Necalli I mean.

There is also the whole Spain's conquest over the Aztec Empire. That's the first thing I thought of.

 

[J 0 E]

I like his face and design overall btw

 

[KAL2006]

Ok the green section there was 3 empty spaces. If the theory of the green section being SF2 characters. Then we have 2 SF2 characters to go and 2 non SF2 characters to go.

So my prediction is

Green
Ryu
Chunli
Ken
Bison
Cammy
Vega
- Zangief
- Dhalsim

Blue
Charlie
Birdie
- Juri
- Urien

Purple
Necalli
- New
- New
- New

 

[dankir]

Man this game is pretty.

 

[MagnesD3]

Im so tired of SF2 characters. Where is the 3rd strike love...

 

[le.phat]

God, every single character revealed so far look incredibly fun to play. GIMME MOAR.

 

[Obscura]

No idea why people put so much stakes on rumors. They're rumors.

Rumor lists for SSFIV and UMVC3 were both legit so it's not surprising people would give credence to lists for SFV.

 

[Rean]

Every Super so far in V look much better than the ones in 4.

 

[GuardianE]

Rumor lists for SSFIV and UMVC3 were both legit so it's not surprising people would give credence to lists for SFV.

UMVC3 wasn't a rumor. Capcom accidentally uploaded all of the unrevealed character art on the website for people to access on the first day.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

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.

Maybe , sean before being trained by ken. Bjj style maybe.

 

[Kaako]

Cool, now where ma boi DAN at Capcom!? Stop playing and lemme see them new taunts.

 

[Mik317]

This does not exactly kill the rumors/leaks.

Not yet at least.

Juri was never leaked IIRC so Vega can simply take her spot and it still plays out.

I am doubtful tho.

 

[Kientin]

OMG YES! Two of the characters I wanted made it in! Vega looks so good and he has got modes like Gen. That's gonna soften the blow for me if Gen doesn't make it in, which is likely. If Gen and Q are in, I'm going to have no idea who to main. I already got Birdie as well.

 

[Obscura]

UMVC3 wasn't a rumor. Capcom accidentally uploaded all of the unrevealed character art on the website for people to access on the first day.

Thanks for the correction.

 

[Momentary]

*wrong thread*

 

[The Hermit]

My main is back?! I actually did NOT expected that at all!!

YAY!!

 

[Omnistalgic]

Hmmm don't get the salt, or this opinion that 3s characters were so amazing, I think a lot of the designs in 3s were pretty bland personally. I mean Sean moveset just looks stupid imo, basketballs etc...seem like they just took the shoto template and change his animations to reflect something goofy. Meh didn't like him prefer Sakura. Makoto, Alex, and Hugo are cool though. Vega plays very uniquely however, I would think diversity trumps everything, and so far no one plays similar at all. Even the iconic Ryu and Ken are even more different in this one. Love the roster so far, hope Gief, Sim, Alex, Sakura make the cut or at least early DlC. Also think Makoto should be in, she's pretty unique too. And I would like to try Guile as my 3rd character this go around, always wanted to play a charge character.

 

[CountAntonius]

SFV is having a real issue with Handsome fighters. First Ken now Vega.

 

[Ushay]

So how many fighters did SF4 start with?

 

[VariantX]

So how many fighters did SF4 start with?

SF4 started with 17

 

[Reset]

SFV is having a real issue with Handsome fighters. First Ken now Vega.

It's not only the males. Even Cammy's face looks messed up. SFV has the ugliest looking character models at of any of the current gen fighters. Disappointing.

 

[B.O.O.M]

He looks amazing.

 

[Greenzxy]

Damn, If Balrog is in this game, They need to put in Sean or something.
I like Rog as a character, but I don't want two negative black caricatures in the same game.

 

[notworksafe]

So how many fighters did SF4 start with?

19 for arcade, 25 for console

 

[kamikazekoala]

So if Blanka isn't on those rumors list (didn't check), he has a pretty good chance to be in from the start, right?

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

He's

so

b... Beautiful

 

[bob_arctor]

And I would like to try Guile as my 3rd character this go around, always wanted to play a charge character.

Nash is in, so that probably means Guile as well, but I want Remy back so badly. This engine would do justice to his effortless grace and style.

 

[Stone Ocean]

It's not only the males. Even Cammy's face looks messed up. SFV has the ugliest looking character models at of any of the current gen fighters. Disappointing.

The fuck

She looks amazing
Chun also looks gorgeous
