If, for some Onoish reason, Cody is in, I'm gonna be celebrating with a lot of booze the day he's announced.

Happy booze or sad booze?

 

[pizzacat]

Not unless he can throw them now.

Yea I was looking at that




And I've come to the conclusion that he's a shoto now

 

[BadWolf]

FTFY

Nah, they seem to have major cross media plans (games, comics, animation, movies etc.).

 

[I-hate-u]

It has been a while since we got to see a new stage. I am curious if we will get to see an Arabian level alongside Rachid's reveal this weekend, and, potentially a Japan stage alongside Karin's reveal at TGS next week.

Oh, that's cool. I didn't know that. All I remember hearing about was pachinko machines.

 

[Clawww]

I'm going with Rashid (or whatever the final name of the North African newcomer is).



Eisbahn wasn't in the Ken Bogard leak, who's proven himself to be reliable on multiple occasions. That is, unless Eisbahn is from North Africa & they changed his name since Ken Bogard got his info.

I don't think Eisbahn would be the actual name of the character regardless. Even Capcom isn't goofy enough to name a character 'icerink' lol. Why have the name plastered on the poster anyways? I want an icy stage, though. Always loved the CvS2 one.

That poster definitely has me intrigued, though. Gill's like, half ice, right? Makes me wonder.

 

[GotchaForce]

Good luck with that, SNK has been bought by a Chinese company which apparently has big plans for SNK's IPs and characters.

KOFXIV is also in development.

Nice. Links?

Cody's V-Trigger is taking off the cuffs. This allows his criminal uppers to be projectiles and such

Would be insane if his kicks were somehow projectiles too

 

[I-hate-u]

Cody a lot of potential to be a unique, fun fighter in V.

V-skill: Bingo or bad spray or weapon pickup (pipe/knife/wrench)

V-Trigger: Cuffs off = projectile fighter (makes tornadoes appear at range) and Ruffian kicks produce a tornado after affect like criminal upper.

What stages do we know about at this point?

Marketplace
London Train Station
Waterfall
Brazil

Am I missing any? I wish they'd show off more stages.

At this point I'd rather they show off new stages than characters... at this rate we're lucky if we get 8 stages in the base game. I fear it's gonna be a MKX situation where there's tons of characters but too few stages.

I've uttered both of these sentiments as well. Instead of characters I truly wish they'd take the "World Warrior traveling the world" motif from SFII. Without it, this series for me will never reach the same peak in terms of world and character building. It's the one blemish I'd put on on SFIII as well for that matter.

I think a lot of what made SFII's cast memorable/iconic was that they almost always combined a geographical region and/or nationality along with a fighting style. Every character having their own stage along with the game showing you on a world map where exactly each stage was located really tied the character, the location, and the 'world warrior' aspect of the game together. This allowed the stage to be an extension of the character's personality. Combine this with the iconic music for each character/stage and you have something that sticks with people.

Well said - I fully agree. Let's hope they'll follow this example to at least some degree with shared stages that still fit each character.

If we go off of the idea that the character backgrounds are stage teases, then Mika should have a wrestling ring stage and unless it is a part of the waterfall stage, Nash has an Illuminati stage

 

[Scotia]

I remember Capcom saying that there won't be character specific stages, so I doubt many, if any, of those character art backgrounds end up as stages.

Illuminati stage is expected to be part of the new zealand stage on the right side.

They don't want to have to devote the art resources to them.

 

[Scotia]

Yeah, it's a shame. The stages so far are great and I'd love to see the ones in the backgrounds as stages. What do people think the chances are of stage DLC?

 

[Clawww]

I really hope we get stage DLC! I see no reason not to. It's a straightforward thing that adds a lot to the game IMO.

Mika has the ring in her art, and Ken's art also has some buildings in the back. Who knows if they'll end up as stages, though.

Okay guys, our TO met up with Ono and he told him that the char that's going to be announced this week is a returning char and not new welp

FUCK ALL YOUR EXPECTATIONS!!!!!!

Spoiler

If it is Cody I hope he looses the cuffs. I hated how he had them on constantly, even in his alts.

[Clawww]

He's my new favorite character to play in IV, so I'm down for Cody if he still has all his sweet normals.

https://twitter.com/FGC_Bigbird/status/641672779096440832

Boom. Has to be Cody. Worlds will collide. Salt will be had. Tears will be wept.



Edit: now that I think about it Cody has blonde hair. Definitely gonna be Cody. .

I know it's second handed information from Ono. It's possible that they could misunderstood anything but I'm really excited about the announcement either way.

 

[delSai]

Ono is lying.

Spoiler

 

[robotzombie]

guys, don't do this to me. don't make me think this could be Cody. i don't want to live through that inevitable disappointment

 

[Megawarrior]

https://twitter.com/FGC_Bigbird/status/641672779096440832

So ....when are they going to reveal the new people?

 

[pizzacat]

Cody or Guile. His sonic booms have become hurricanes at this point to differentiate with Nash

 

[Devid905]

If Cody is in, then the number of confirmed blonde in this game will increase -__-

 

[BadWolf]

Nice. Links?

Here's the gaf thread for when SNK was bought: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1023502&page=2

As for KOFXIV, SNK still has job postings for it on their official site and they had small pics of Kyo and Leona's 3D models there too.

 

[Tizoc]

Guys remember that Ono's English can be a bit borkish.

Either way I'm ready for more reveals, and new gameplay >=3

 

[vg260]

Same, but I don't think they're as straightforward as they used to be since they're in 3D or we'd be seeing a lot more stages in fighters than we actually are. I think they require much more work now having to model a whole 3D environment instead of when they were just sprite layers.

As opposed to the rumored Karin and Alex being added to the roster?

 

[IntelliHeath]

Another one

Ono tease for Dubai Announcement

Hmmmm.

 

[pizzacat]

Cody on the run with different hair color lets go

 

[Anbec7]

I hope is Cody so the Blonde Fighter V continues HAHAHA!
But really I hope that is Cody because is the only one I know how to use

 

[delSai]

Cody on the run with different hair color lets go

Cody not wearing his prison uniform? That would be an improvement.
I hope it's not Cody. #onoislying

 

[Clawww]

maybe the mid block on the first tease is the V-trigger ruffian tornado projectile kick


totally figure it out guys

I've been saying that as a joke but what if it's true.



What if the hurricane appears after Urien takes his clothes off


What if?

 

[Devid905]

How about a redesigned Cody (with a shaved head, some tattoos, wearing street clothing, and not in handcuffs)...?

all of this is the worst and that makes you the worst

 

[HabeeNo]

As a Guy main this make me sad

 

[Scotia]

If Cody is in and he's still wearing that prison outfit with handcuffs I won't be happy. I love Cody (my third favourite character next to Q and Alex) but I'll be extremely pissed if he hasn't changed, appearnce wise, since SF4. Then again, Ken's been redesigned in this game so sky's the fucking limit.

 

[direct_quote]

Doubt it's Cody, would like a more reliable source...

You want to turn him into a 3rd strike character?

Big Bird is reliable, Ono isn't.

his alts in 4 were dope at least. I'm going to fucking groan if he's in the stripes again for his default.
