It just seems weird now not seeing Lars or Alisa, i mean they were Bloodline Rebellion…Lars imo is a cool character design(oh noes i like anime inspired characters) the fact that Naruto’s artist drew a P3 costume for him and put him in NinjaStorm2 was evidence enough. Lars had a really flashy and rather badass moveset and to me could fit in SFxTK( Silent/Dynamic Entry through fireballs anyone?) Alisa and all the things they could do with her is also mind numbing in why we haven’t seen her…Destroy Mode and Flight could translate differently in 2D but her exploding head has to be there in one way shape or form…
one would think they are unlockable characters but…i think they maybe post launch DLC at best…
If that’s the case, then Sven’s “All will be clear by launch time” comment is complete BS. Because people will still be wondering where the hell the remaining characters are lol.
No, at launch they will announce the DLC characters. Keep in mind, not everyone updates every site at the same time. It’ll take a few days for the news to spread and by then all of those pre-orders that people bought to make sure they can get all the gems will have gone through.
I do like how the premium DLC gems issue has been carefully avoided being discussed by Sven and Seth Killian.
I hope you’re wrong. But that actually makes a lot of sense. I think saying that there will be secret, unannounced characters might be giving Capcom too much credit.
Edit: If they announce DLC on launch day and then make it available the same day, I’ll accept it. I just pray they don’t take their sweet time making the characters available.
The only thing worse than knowing Karin and Sakura aren’t in this game is the constant seeing her fans still believing she’ll make it in…~ So disappointing!
For all those saying ‘Day 1 DLC’: I have no doubt that at *some *point, there will be DLC characters, but at the very least, there *are *characters for the game not yet revealed that will be in there. The proof is the ESRB leak; a few parts strongly suggest Alisa and Lei, and the ESRB doesn’t rate DLC. So, no doubt, even if they’re unlockable, there *are *more characters yet to be revealed. (Now whether they *will *be revealed before the game comes out is anyone’s guess…)
Everyone seemed to do that. Every time someone mentioned the gems in streams and stuff they’re like “People were concerned about them being broken and they honestly aren’t.” Alright… good to know, but the majority of people were complaining about DLC gems and how the gems were being distributed, and no one ever addressed that.
Actually Ono has addressed it and said if any DLC gem is too strong they will patch it. Also from a tournament perspective (notice where most of the complaints for this game is coming from) it’s a non issue since it will be banned regardless.
Anyway I think we have unlock-able characters.
ESBR doesn’t rate future content, they rate what’s on the disc.
Evil Ryu and Oni were never announced for AE until well after even though they were in the game from the start. Soul Calibur 5 didn’t announce it’s story unlocks either…
The store, what exactly would you be getting from the store if not characters to unlock?
I expect a mix of unlocks and DLC though of course.
You’re clearly smarter than all the butt hurt Karin fans who can’t fathom why Asuka and Lili were paired up with Chun and Cammy. It’s like they don’t watch all the promo and trailers and movies for both series. Asuka and Lili along with Nina are clearly the more focused females on the Tekken side, likewise with Chun and Cammy.
Call it lead females or pin up girls, whatever, the matchup makes sense. Look @ the cosplay contest in Japan for this, it was focused on Chun/Cammy and Asuka/Nina. Asuka was in the reveal trailer for Tekken Tag 2, Lili in the opening movie etc. Yet people want to ignore this and focus on “Wow one’s an ojou sama and the other is a tom boy, and both sides have one, they have to be rivals!!”.
Okay when the heat play the clippers they should show promos of Chris Paul and Blake griffin against Mario chalmers and Chris bosh. I mean they play the same position, it clearly makes sense.
Yeah, that Tekken team doesn’t make sense, 'cept for a link with Kazuya, but I don’t give a shit.
Asuka/Lili aren’t worthy rivals for the First Lady of Fighting Games and her BFF.
Sakura and Karin might occupy the same archetypes as Asuka and Lily, but they’re playstyles are varied enough to not be exact clones. Like Bob vs Rufus. They’re both swift, big fat guys, but they don’t play the same at all so it works.
Fei vs. Law would be just a straight up SSFIVAE mirror match. lol
Real talk though, I get what Westlo is saying, but crossovers are all about “fanservices” and besides “Shoto Bros. vs. Mishima family,” the biggest rivalry, just about everyone wanted to see was in fact, “Sakura/Karin vs. Asuka/Lili.” (and even Sakura/Asuka vs. Karin/Lili)
At the end of the day, I’m satisfied with my three shotos, but I understand why the Sakura/Karin (which were rumored to get their asses kicked in Asuka/Lili’s story mode. lol) fans are upset, however just don’t be fucking whiny over it. DLC exists.
Honestly, having Lily and Asuka whoop Sakura and Karin’s ass offscreen would be such a big slap in the face to their respective fans, that i’m almost expecting it in the game, given how much trolling Capcom has done with this game (lol teasertrailers wtf)
