Street Fighter V Roster Discussion: P-P-P-P-PATTERN BREAKER

Not if you consider games to be more than consumer products that need to work properly (i.e. play well). As an artistic expression and something that transports the player to another world, SFIV to me is without a doubt the weaker game compared to II or III. It might be the most complete game in terms of the amount of characters and gameplay systems (though there are many who'd disagree with that last bit as well in terms of how well those systems work), but as a unique work of art and an aesthetic experience, I'd be tempted to call it a directionless mess that went with 80% nostalgia for II, Alpha and III and 20% new ideas.
wager.

I can only hope V will become such a memorable experience again that would equal II and III (though the initial roster makes me a bit unsure if nostalgia is not again being a too powerful driving force behind the design...).

SF4 was a memorable experience, and will be for many people.

Its why 09'ers are a thing. Street fighter revival was a real thing, and to say it was a " directionless mass " is doing it sort of a discredit. Revitalized street fighter, sold well and brought bunches of folks back.
 
I don't know why, but I suspect/hope Rachid to be from Sudan, or South Egypt. A Black/Arab African fighter would be awesome. Hopefully he looks cool and is fun to play.
I want him to be a serious character, unlike Hakan.
 
Ono tease for Dubai Announcement
heV3i
 
Ono's started teasing the Dubai reveal. Get a very limited glimpse at a new stage which, to me, looks like it might be on a rooftop:

EDIT: Beaten

EDIT 2: I think it's the Brazil stage actually.

I've been eagerly waiting for Ono tease images.

He probably looks forward to them as well. Particularly when he can post them before the character is leaked. :P The R.Mika tease he posted (a shot of her mic) came a few minutes after the leak. And some of the Birdie teases came after he was leaked by that German gaming site.

I was actually a bit disappointed she got leaked before Ono could tease. Speculating is fun. Though the mic would have been pretty obvious.
 
The only existing character that could fit this would be Juri, I think.
Ryu blocks that projectile(?) low, and her Fuhajin fireballs translate to "Wind Breaking Blade". There was also the Juri statue on Ono's desk.

But meh, probably a whole new character.

Doesn't have to be 1-hit.

But really, it almost certainly isn't Sean. Looks like wind or water based, but his pics are really good at not actually revealing anything significant. It could be the ice guy.

That looks like snow.

The Eisbahn cometh
Click to expand...
He wasn't in the Ken Bogard newcomer leak. Hell, I thought he'd be the mystery newcomer before Necalli was revealed. Either Eisbahn is DLC or he's an unplayable boss who will eventually become DLC later. Either that or Eisbahn is just for that poster, never to be seen again. But based on the poster, the concept behind Eisbahn is too cool (no pun intended) to be left on the cutting room floor.
 
How many characters is capcom going to reveal so close together? We just got R mika a couple days ago, and vega wasn't too long before. Not that I'm complaining though.

looks like someone threw a basketball at ryu, it resembles a hoop or something, Sean confirmed!112@

And to think we have another reveal to look forward to at TGS, which is a week after Games15.

Game 15 - September 11th
TGS - September 17-20
Brazil Game Show - October 8-12

PGW is a big question mark as it's a big show for Sony, but Ono hasn't said anything about being there. But if they show or don't show something there we'll still see a month gap between it and the next character reveal/s in December at PSX/Capcom Cup.

Eisbahn? I missed this leak
 
In one of Dahlgren's reccent interviews, he mentioned that they'll be doing DLC character reveals prior to the game coming out- those are likely hitting Jan/Feb.
 
I'd be happy with four or so DLC characters coming out shortly after launch. Juri's a lock for one of the initial DLC characters, right?

Which interview are you referring to?
Click to expand...
It was one or two of his PAX video interviews where he mentioned "continuous" content updates- we'll know a few of the fighters on deck prior to the game releasing, but only the base 16 are available day 1.
