Guile confirmed charge, lack of arcade explained, and a little Alex info

Chiro · February 21, 2016, 9:37pm

its a short read but

essentially this tells me that aracde wasn’t considered beneficial to getting players online because it was too easy and thats why it was originally left out. they didnt see the point of it for what they were trying to do. at lest they’re adding it now.

On Alex

“We can’t say much except for this: he’s younger than his Street Fighter III incarnation, his moves will be different, and his V-Skill will embody his [grappling] fighting style and trait.”

On Future Characters

“The keyword in Street Fighter V when creating new characters or bringing back existing ones is ‘reinvention’. We want players to feel that these characters came out from scratch.

Whether these upcoming new characters announced will retain their style of execution (charge or motion), it’s best that we keep it a surprise down the line. We want to make players feel like they’re picking up these recurring characters like they’re brand new. From their redesigns, we want players to discover fresh new combos from them.

That said, we can assure you that one of the upcoming characters Guile will still be a charge character.”

Guile was confirmed charge a long time ago.

But I wanna see them try take away Urien from me. There will be pitch forks outside of CJ HQ!!! PITCH FORKS I TELL YOU!

Urien without Aegis is now a possibility. Light the torches.

I hope Balrog stays charge.

DevilJin_01 · February 21, 2016, 9:50pm

Balrog is gonna be all TAP charges.

Pertho · February 21, 2016, 9:54pm

If you consider what they’re saying it amounts to “people dont want a new cast, but if we fuck up the old one we think everybody will be fine with it.”

Looks like they were right.

Can’t wait!!! The wait is excruciating but exciting at the same time… Screw all the people complaining about the lack of content.

Mood4food77 · February 21, 2016, 10:20pm

I will riot if balrog is no longer a charge character!

itsOneO · February 21, 2016, 10:35pm

Horrible justification as to why a 2 out of 3 round CPU simulation, with no supplements or gimmicks, was not included in SFV out the box.

You don’t teach new players with one round matches and power-ups.

DevilJin_01 · February 21, 2016, 10:36pm

Yeah that is typical Capcom tactics there. I’m just glad they didn’t use it to justify the sloppy matchmaking after 4 betas.

Bronn · February 21, 2016, 10:38pm

As long as Alex still has his flash chop and st.mp/b+hp and movement from 3s that’s all I’d need.

I wonder if they’ll buff flash chop in this game…

ES_Curse · February 21, 2016, 10:46pm

Alex’s V-Skill will be
A)A command throw
B)His b.HP
C)A move that combos into a command throw

Seems like they are definitely making him a grappler though. He may wind up slower than his 3S incarnation because of that.

I hope Q isn’t charge

I_iShiDo · February 21, 2016, 10:57pm

Glad that Guie stays charge. Can’t wait to see his V-Skill and Trigger.

Laban · February 21, 2016, 11:00pm

I could imagine them making Urien’s tackle a motion move instead of charge.

Raz0r · February 21, 2016, 11:03pm

Guile’s V-Skill will probably involve putting on his sunglasses.

His V-Trigger will most likely be a power-up.

Mood4food77 · February 21, 2016, 11:05pm

guile is obviously getting nerfed, he can’t do flash kick FADC glasses

if they made it glasses, they should let him cancel every move with it

entrerix · February 22, 2016, 1:33am

guiles vtrigger must be sunglasses. if not then its a HUGE missed opportunity

ES_Curse · February 22, 2016, 1:56am

Guile’s V-Skill should give him some form of 3S charge partitioning

mowr · February 22, 2016, 2:00am

The main reason I want to play Alex is to hear HOOOOAAAH.

Just don’t fuck that up and we’re golden, Capcom.
