Street Fighter V: Vega Reveal Trailer

Who cares?

Vega, along with the rest of the SF2 cast, was in SF4. Give someone else some time to shine before this game is inevitably bogged down with the rest of the SF4 roster.

I never saw Birdie shine nor will I see him now.
There were plenty of new chars in sf4. & the classics never felt too much. Nobody ever complained about them.& most of people are begging for the sf3 chars who shined once, even in a kind of ugly way, at least to me (mention,Urien,Q,retarded minimalist moves list). I agree on the new chars creation like Necalli who looks really good, but not hating on a unique char like Vega. Instead, cut those clone chars,yun/yang. Or u even gonna mention ken/ryu now? Let's give the spots to hakan/hugo/honda/el fuerte. Cmon!
 
For real though, didn't they change him to non-charge? Did they change his move properties? Did it make a difference?

He's a motion character but they did change a fair deal of his stuff.
- Sobat Kick is a one hit kick that's really fast, does good damge, is safe on block, and you can combo into it off of a light.
- You can special cancel his sweep
- Almost all of his specials are safe on block
- His normals are really good including two launchers, one that he can combo into and both he can combo off of.

Omega Deejay is a monster. Playing him and then regular DeeJay makes me want to shut the game off.
 
Yeah, no. My English is not great, but I'm not stupid. You don't study is general, what you're saying he meant is not. So I don't think I'm bragging about anything here.
Your post was saying you didn't study Chun
The post quoting that said you made it clear you didn't

Context bub

You are missing the point.

We've been able to play the SF4 characters for years. They've been at the main event of major tournaments for years. The launch roster for SFV will be 16 characters. 4 of those will be completely new. That means that we only get 12 returning veterans on launch. Why waste those slots on characters we've been playing for years now?

Whether or not I personally like the character designs is irrelevant. I just think that SFV's roster should be different.
 
I feel like we will get 8 characters that were in SFIV (be it the old standbys of SF2 or not) and 8 characters that were not (4 new and 4 returnees).

That's what I think as well. Mainly because I hope we don't get all 8 being SF2 characters. I want cool SF4 characters like Juri, and it gives more room for SF3 and Alpha characters for the remaining 4.

That's what I've been thinking too, SF2 only seems too restrictive for a series that's been chugging for so long. Plus I'm sure DIMPS wants one of it's own creations in SF5...
^ edit: great minds think alike?
 
I feel that capcom has been really dropping the ball with these reveal trailers. KI and MKX had way better trailers, not to mention their own SFxT character trailers were godtier stuff. SFV feels really lowkey by comparison.

I'm revising my guess a bit and going with 8 from SF4, 4 new, 4 other.
Ryu | Ken | Vega | Juri
Chun | Guile | Bison | Cammy
4 new
Nash | Urien | Alex | Birdie

If Ken Bogard is to be believed, one of the new guys will be from India, Brazil, and someplace else...so that could count Sim and Blanka out (athough we have multiple americans and brits sooo). Gief is a safe bet if Capcom is truly all about attracting casuals as he is pretty popular. Guile has story relevance..as it would suck if Nash shows up (and more than likely die..again) and Guile is home chilling, could be a Johnny and Dizzy situation like XRD tho. Fei, THawk and DeeJay are probably not likely.

Still this could go anyway. Vega could have simply taken the spot everyone assumed Juri would occupy and Urien and Alex make up the remaining two and the Green box becomes the main series box. The Blue box is the alpha box (Karin and Mika) and Purple is newcomers. However...I doubt they'd do that and leave 4 unrepresented. So yeah...

If them taking story more seriously, the perhaps there will be no sf3 representation right away for that reason?

I just hope there will be more than just Ken for me to play....

If they are taking the story seriously then Urien would definetely be in because of the Illuminati connection. And that would make Karin and Mika less likely because they don't have any connection with the Illuminati storyline or Nash (or shadaloo?)..

Assuming https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=neaydiu-eMM is correct, Sakura having to deal with the Dark Hadou could give an excuse for Karin to show up somehow. And to add to this, Bison and Nash make reference to the Dark Hadou in their win quotes vs Ryu implying its going to be more important than before.
 
Does charging makes you feel more manly?

Charging sucks, it forces to play your character in a weird way that you wouldn't need to play had the game no charge mechanics. It doesn't add anything, There's not a single thing that charge controls can do that normal motions can't, but there're lots of things that normal controls can do that charge can't.

You invested lots of time in learning the tricks of charge controls, I'll shed a tear for you, man.

the fuck? lmao

and i love playing charge characters. i have an easier time doing charge motions than doing any other motion tbh
 
Yeah, no. My English is not great, but I'm not stupid. You don't study is general, what you're saying he meant is not. So I don't think I'm bragging about anything here.
No, in this case you are stupid. I don't care what language you speak since that was never brought up when i was replying to you. What was made clear is that you don't know anything about charge characters.

You know Shadow and Dark Sakura were secret characters in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter right? Theres no way those figures that guy is talking about have anything to do with the SFV roster.

lol, is this a joke? Of course people complained about the classic characters in SF4. I'd actually say there was more complaint for SF4 than for SFV thus far, in part because we're kind of expecting Capcom to hit us with the lame hammer again.

I don't remember that.

E.Ryu,Poison,Juri,Seth,C.Viper,Decapre,Rufus,
Dudley,Abel,Oni,El Fuerte,Gouken,Hakan & not sure about Hugo, I think he was in a previous game. A Total of 15 NEW chars never appeared as playable before. + I don't really get this agitation..It's JUST The Beginning! & I don't remember neither what U mentioned above.
I do remember about the locked chars included in the physical disc whom we had to pay extra in SSF which was Bad!
No matter what they bring, no matter how good they make it, complaints will always be present anyway. Reminder: We love this game no matter what.

E.ryu is from alpha, Dudley and Hugo is from sf3, poison from sfxt / sf3 non playable
 
Why is Vega so buff? I thought his character was meant to be a sleek build. The beefed up look doesnt really mesh with his quick style or his supposedly beautiful looks well. Not a fan. The shirt is cool though and I think it fits perfectly.
 
lol there was a pc mod that made guile sonic boom qcf. He was the one of the best character in the game because you just sat in the corner eating block strings for days.

Bison with QCF is super stupid. Remember that time his u2 was QCF...yeah you could never jump if he had ultra. Now imagine if he has all his moves QCF.

Almost all charge characters have better normals. If you play a charge character, your footsies tools are already good for the most part. Its the biggest trade off when choosing a charge vs qcf type character.
 
Still holding out hope we will see Q appear in the roster. One of the coolest characters in Street Fighter history imho. Would love to see him come back
 
I can't believe Oni was a character.

Men slaved for hours to make him a character in the fighting video game, Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.
 
Now we hating on charge characters? Still loving the salt.

And yep, charge chars should have better footsies than the rest, so you basically change your playstyle when choosing one. That said, Chun having better footsies than my boy Vega was unfair and bullshit in SFIV, I hope they balance the thing a little this time.
 
Not a huge SF person but I remember Vega from pre SF IV being so quick and nimble. I guess I'm just not digging the animations in recent SF games. Everyone is just so stiff

Funny enough, Bison has his QCF super back and now has mediocre normals (and even worse footsies).
 
The lack of a teaser for the next trailer kinda dampens the hype for me.

Dampens? lmao the only thing that would dampen the hype for the next reveal would be giving it away at the end of a new trailer. Teasers work when it's like Necali's and Hakan's for SFIV since they're brand new characters.

Oh it's Nash which we knew since the last trailer.... but hey he's changed a bit!
DAT DICTATOR!!
Birdie & Cammy hype was let down by leaks thanks to it being E3....
No one expected Ken @ Comic Con, heck half the posters on gaf talking about SFV thought Capcom would be stupid enough to leave the second most popular character off the initial roster....
Everyone was wondering about the new character @ Evo thanks to the teaser and wow he looks way fucking better than those teased images!
Claw da gawd OUT OF NOWHERE making SFV roster wishlist makers cry, beautiful.

They should stick to how it has been since Nash's trailer, only tease for a new character like Necali.
 
from the other thread

I was gonna say Vega looks like scrapped Link concept art. It's the hair.
 
I'm revising my guess a bit and going with 8 from SF4, 8 new, 4 other.
Ryu | Ken | Vega | Juri
Chun | Guile | Bison | Cammy
4 new
Nash | Urien | Alex | Birdie

I feel like they need another SF4 character in there. Juri is pretty popular, but I don't know who else from SF4 could fit the bill. Abel? Viper? Hakan?
 
welp... there goes that leaked list.

...

It might just be me but vega's transition into 3D hasn't been a smooth one... not gameplay but rather just his overall build is too buff. They should slim him down a bit... but then again you could say that for almost every character in the game.

...

nevermind... carry on lol.
