The CFN profile specified a male apprentice. You’re getting Soul Power V.Rosso whether you like it or not.
God I freaking hope not.
It’s one thing to be a stereotype. It’s another thing to be a stereotype that hasn’t even existed for 1000 years.
If you’re going to be racist Capcom, at least don’t be anachronistically racist.
Yeah, but those weren’t the martial arts used in the Raid movies, so who gives a shit?
If they do bring a female character from Egypt, I’d rather it not be a flaming stereotype
Those were a lot, that is more realistic, cultural and still used until now. Not something of those that are only a thing of the past or just a moment in history.
If Capcom would associate foreign martial arts it should been more realistic or at least from the past 3 decades up to the modern day preferences and influences of a Filipino or a Filipina to make the choice relevant.
Why past 3 decades? because it is were the beginning of SF timeline is likely inspired in our reality. I’m trying to be realistic than patriotic in my suggestions.

If Capcom want a female Filipino fighter please not that stuff, A (Filipino Women) Filipina that is interested in martial arts are very rare to be associated with Pencak Silat.
If a Filipina would go with martial arts that’s not the popular choice or a recommendation and in fact many didn’t even known Pencak Silat exist that includes males. It’s not a household word like judo, ninjutsu, wrestling, taekwondo and karate in their respective country origins.
If Capcom want a random martial arts, The easiest and realistic is a male as a Filipino representative because a modern day Filipino man that exist in the past 30 years/3 decades ago is more likely enthusiastic into martial arts like Boxing(Manny Paquiao), Taekwondo, Mu Thai, Karate and Judo base from the influential Filipino actor, Filipino movies and Olympic achievers of that era and until now.
Arnis and Balisong is the more realistic choice for traditional filipino combat discipline until now.
If they want below twenties teens that are men, they are into Parkour.
Filipinos from weapons and martial arts:

Now let’s proceed to the mystical and mysterious side of the Philippines, If Rose had abilities of divination, while India had Yoga meditation and Japanese had Ninjas. Philippines had their incantation paired with anting-anting or agimat, A culture practice that is still used by some other men until this age and time, This necklace charm or amulet relic like make some Filipinos believe that gives them remarkable agility(parkour) and protection from bullets. User of this object and practitioners often exhibit it’s given powers by using jungle bolo onto them after a reciting a certain incantation. Those abilities however is also found from Chinese’s qigong masters. The qigong masters gains extraordinary abilities by changing his yin and yang through meditation, while the the agimat users just use charms and does incantation.
Despite of some charms have crave religious images it is still forbidden known demonic, evil and dangerous because of it is to have a cost and the said forbidden by the teachings of a prominent belief because it is a pagan practice. There are a lots charlatans that sold agimats and anti-anting in the streets and the city but according to it’s true mythos it is done only to sincere mediation for a specific time to caves in the mountains of a place called Siquijor were spirits dwells and witches. Some are considered family treasure kept secret that is passed to there latter generation.

it’s also associated to many fictional filipino stories like
Pepeng Agimat, Pedro Penduko, Darna(an orphan girl that turns into a wonder woman look alike after using agimat) and alot more stories
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1208714/?ref_=nv_sr_1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Penduko
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darna
There is even a real life story of a criminal named Nardong Putik, putik means mud in English.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nardong_Putik
According to a rumored legend(probably not true) that he uses an agimat or anting-anting that need a certain incantation to transform him into mud or maybe command the mud to cover him. kinda rare idea of agimat because agimat is commonly known for them to give protection and extraordinary agility. He was shot to death.
In fact it was part of their history even before any other culture influence in their country.
And then about Filipino location:

While i apprecciate your attention to be close to the regional trends, for good or for bad that’s not how SF work
As martial arts, we already got 2 boxers, a Korean (Juri) for TKD, at some point surely a Thai (Sagat) for MT, and even one for “parkour” as martial art (Rashid)
And if we get a judoka, tbh i dout Capcom will aim at Philippines
Even for Arnis stick fighting (wich imho it was a perfect candidate), i fear this very requested dude may get that spot
Keep in mind that rarely SF goes for how locals see themselves but more how rest of the world does
In other words, i’m sure there are x10 turkish boxers, kickboxers, judokas, “normal” wrestlers… yet Hakan got Oil Wrestling because it’s “characteristic” and worked well to rep the nation in SF design building
Same for not being a female… i’m sure there fight sports on some level are a male majority thing in philippines… but to be real it’s the same everywhere i guess.
Capcom does it for cast diversity and because internet whiners cry at sausage fest also in games with relatively generous % of females
I guessed Pencak Silat because if i have to think at Malay Archipelago area in a SF game first thing (second, Arnis/Eskrima was first due Dan Inosanto in Game of Death*) in my mind are Iko Uwais movies like Merantau or the Raid that made PS a “new” popular thing in martial arts world
I know Indonesia-PS is the correct combination, but as foreigner myself i will not be incredibly surprised if they give PS to a Malay Archipelago (so Philippines being a candidate) char
This imho is what SF will typically take as start point for a chara design build up
There you got characteristic uniform, stances, movements and cultural vibe… wich if you think even at most recent chars is the first thing they search
In other words i feel that if they want a philipino char they may easier switch to let’s say Indonesia rather than d
*wich was probably part of inspiration for Eagle, as Eagle himself got the look from a Bruce Lee movie villain
Tbh with “Cleopatra” i don’t mean make-her-ancient-queen-of-Egypt, as long your female egyptian char is hot and got that haircut/eyes make-up combo the visual link is done…
Kinda same way Urien manage to give ancient Greek/Roman vibe even in his SFV modern suit
I wish, as V.Rosso-anything is guaranteed win, but tbh the gender was never said iirc
CFN stay generic
I think it was in story thread somebody recently reported the rumor of Rose’s apprentice being female, like somewhere in last two pages
I know there are already a lot of those kind of Martial Arts, I’m not requesting a Filipino character to along those what I am pointing out, was if there were foriegn martial arts those probably would be the realistic choices, that’s why I believe it’s not the time for a Filipino character if it would be implemented in a very non-filipino way other than “race” not in ways.
The reality is most of Filipino Women/Filipina isn’t like those anime slender glamour girl fighters, or like a youthful female trying prove something to world with fist or weapons, yet that may be in so very very rare occasion, unlike japanese women that are trained in school and youth to do a specialize martial arts. If they would choose to be trained with a foriegn combat practices it is for self defense, Pencak Sikat isn’t among the top ten choices and even many isn’t aware of that.
To be honest I myself would prefer Eagle than a Filipino character using Arnis, for SFV or another game before SF3 timeline game, but If Capcom would push a traditional Filipino using a combat practice in his/her country… Arnis, Mano-Mano and Balisong is the best while Pencak Silat as a representation isn’t a good idea because it’s like pushing something that shouldn’t be there.
Capcom should rather choose other race if they want a Pencak Silat character. They could just do an indonesian or other south east asian character that fits Pencak Silat rather than a race that isn’t into it. It’s a waste for a first Filipino character if ever.
I like a Filipino SF character but at least it should be as realistic and natural to it’s timeline existence like Juri, Makoto, Honda, Blanka, Sagat, Ryu, Cody and Guile that reflects there realistic ways than just being there. I could wait for years for a relevant character even with a small plot. If not is the time I’m okay with that rather than wasting it.
fuc u, i want girl Anakaris
You act like that’s a bad thing
It really is’nt, i like Eagle and i think it will look cool in SFV
It probably was a bad thing if i was a philipino wanting a rep, but even @The_Shakunetsu said to prefer him, so i guess Eagle is just universally good lol
Why you gotta say something good after something stupid. How’m I gonna Get Rekt or Rise Up that post.
Ideally, I get a 1-1 port of VSav Anakaris in every fighting game ever. Since that’s not gonna happen outside of MUGEN, I’ll settle for girl Anakaris if the alternative is no Anakaris.

Fuck, I’d throw money at that shit.
Thank you for making that easy.
I expect to hear stuff from Capcom about Marvel at E3 but has the delays of Ed and S2.1 patch push back any future news to July?
Okay just to follow up things
What shouldn’t be a Filipino
[list]
[*] Filipino shouldn’t be grapplers and doing headbutt’s - They watched and enjoy wrestling but they ain’t good at it unless were talking about Batista that was raised in a different country and a half blood. They are more into fist and few kicks along with remarkable agility and reflexes.
[*] The average Filipino aren’t the huge guys in body build - even there gym buff are not that tall. they are like the size of how japanese men and women in height. Eyes are average in size and colored are black, while the skin are color is brown. Average Filipino wears more western style clothes that fits for a tropical country.
[*] Filipino weapons isn’t like - nunchucks, katana, crowbar, chainsaw, hammer, wrench, sai, spear, shuriken, steel rod, steel pipe, pole, baseball bat and bow. What are common Filipino weapon? four finger metal fist ring, batons, policeman club and guns. Jungle bolo/itak and balisong are common household name for average Filipino like Japanese into Katana.
[*] Filipino mysticism enchantments and powers is not into - levitation, teleportation, transmutation, force field, telekinesis, mind swapping and increase on strength while not also into controlling fire, ice, water and wind. Filipino amulets and medallions in their folklore and history is to believe that give speed, phasing, momentary invincibility, invisibility, camouflage abilities and to control electricity.
[*] An average teen Filipina/Filipino Women isn’t like a Japanese teen women that are trained in school into martial arts and other combat practices. While Filipino boys in youth even without proper training are more likely to show great reflexes and agile because of their childhood outdoor games and environment.

If Eagle is in season 3 I would buy a ps4, sfv and seasona 1 to 3 just because of him
Naw, my understanding is two different teams… marvel is working on the story and content where capcom (not dimps) is working on the fighting. Even combofiends job was refilled as he went to permanently work on infinite.
smart man, have a taunt animation
Im +1 for eagle too.
and Sodom, Haggar, Lucia, Oro, and Q. And Dudley…but i can wait for him because i don’t want to be too greedy.
I feel Eagle has decent chance considering they may want to complete the ALPHA series roster with Eagle and Sodom eventually. Eagle is BLONDE and Capcom loves blondes. And would make sense for Karin to hire as a bodyguard and be the Day/Night to Birdie.
NO TAIM FOR LEWZEERZ
