SFV Character Request/Anticipation Thread

I’ll believe Capcom actually made a new character for S2 when I see one.

Tbh you never seen this dude before, even if of course technically “is ASF Ed”

Even if to be real THIS Ed did’nt appeared in ASF and even canon wise is successive to ASF in that form

But again, i doubt #3 and #5 will require so “technically” shit and will just be straight new

Not Mecha Zangief Mark 3, you could argue.

Interestingly, going by this CFN profile and the concept art, there seems to be a Mecha-Nash and Mecha-Chun-Li also…

Don’t take a challenge with Capcom.

[list]
[] Models are made to be new.
[
] Silhouette are made to be confused.
[] Kiki art as a comparison is irrelevant
[
] ASF Character are made to appear.
[] Azam is the next ASF Character that is 80-90% chances.
[
] Unlikely a Final Fight character and Byron.
[*] Relative, Subordinate, Assistant, bodyguard have the strongest chance that favor Capcom references.
[/list]

Meh, It’s like a Tony Stark in a different armor or Tony with controlling another armor by remote and then another 2nd different Iron man armor with a different remote.

it’s like a desperate claim of them as a 3 different characters. This are mechanical stuff hardly inspired to each other. They are not a different person with different conciousness like the 12 Dolls which can be made possible to be really different.

Capcom ain’t that meh and horrible like they were before just to be count it different or consider different. it’s like you have low expectations with Capcom to desperately used naming convention to claim something new.

Why?It’s like simply like calling every Jack-(n) that predates each other to appear in every Tekken game a new character then claims it to never have appeared in the series and it’s a brand new character. That’s terrible, desperate and misleading practice to sell a DLC. That ain’t Capcom.

Do you know what two SF games I know that Mecha Zangief appeared without SFxT included? lol

Nothing new, Mech Nash was in fact revealed in MSHvsSF 2 decades ago before CFN flesh it out.

The Shadow Lady was assumed to be that with all those special moves even without the CFN profile revealing it months ago and it will never be a SFV thing along with Mech Nash this ain’t a game known as KI.

Just challenged

To sig bet

I’m still waiting =)

Yeah ok I’m ignorant of MvC content.

It’s still Mecha Zangief though. If the in game model matches silhouette, it would have to be radically different to the art and the npc model for Azam. In that case the cutscenes would look ridiculous.

Taylor, Azam and Karin’s butler are undoubtedly in the post, just prolly not this season I feel.

If Capcom are smart they would capitalize on all these alt versions of characters by releasing them as alt costumes with unique visual animations, taunts, and win poses. Frame data remains the same.

Evil Ryu
Mecha Gief
Violent Ken
Oni
Original Necalli

Maybe even throw in a Shin Bison with a cape… maybe…

They can be priced as more expensive costumes individually or sold as a package deal. Sigh. This is too competent for Capcom sadly.

Too competent, indeed. Don’t get your hopes up with Capcom; they will always let you down.

About the Mecha Zangief thing

Not that i want it in the game (I DON’T, and i’m a Gief fan), but an actual “mech Zangief” like in the CFN profile has never been a character

SF4 one was just a costume of normal Zangief, no “robot abilities”

MvC Mecha Zangief was only human Zangief on shadaloo roids/drugs

I mean, something like this

http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters3/robo-ky-a2.html

is’nt happened

As a complete aside, it’d be cool if Capcom made something like a Tournament mode to make it easier/quicker to switch between games/matches, have all the brackets set up and tracked in-game and do things like make the banned stages more “playable” so that they could be used in tournaments (e.g., get rid of the foreground waves on the Kanzuki beach stage, make the background less vomit-inducing on the airplane-flying stage, etc.).

Price for those wouldn’t be an issue for their casual and nostalgic fans.

Ala weapon/accesories like thing in Tekken for the special unique abilities that had slow start up and low damage but with huge impact in it like Tekken’s Shutgun. Then make them exclusive non-rank matches.

I always dream for an alternative dystopian SF universe or a Cyberpunk styled with all those what if characters COEXIST without any of their regular counterpart in one game along with Fallen Balrog in cannon spike, Cyber Dan, Cyber Akuma and Cyborg Nash. A timeline were Shadaloo prevailed! I don’t even believe those would ever happen as reality as a game. That’s a ultimate Fangasm game from nostalgic and casual that they can add other Capcom Fighters like Plasma Sword, Tech Romancer, Strider, CyberBots, Captain Commando, SF2010 and Battle Circuit.

You may notice I do a post in other thread of those in the past of a what if list of SF dystopian parallel without regular counterparts, but I don’t think it’s fitting for them to appear in a SF3 prequel game(in SFV) or something inbetween SF2-SF3 timeline. Those would just raise another layer of complication and confusion.


Imagine Shadow lady turned in to a Chunli with Symbiotic Nano Machine from Shadaloo, A tech suit that shapes/form into various weapons. That’s how I imagined and recreate a perfect remake of SHADOW LADY. The CFN profile just made her a robot stuff kinda the usual thing.

Fused with SF cartoon’s La-lupa, Fox’s Spiderman Unlimited and Venom concept.


Honestly even I have those fantasies, I’ll rather have a character with weird armor buff as a V-skill or V-trigger that can be applied to Q’ or advanced Shadaloo Cyborg in SFV rather than any Mech Zangief-(n) that is nothing more than a REPLICA.

A Shadaloo Cyborg with a Xmen’s Sentinel characterization or like VSav’s Phobos without other goals and personification or a strong point of copying or referencing another SF character.

Why a Shadaloo Cyborg? because of having more richer design space along with nostalgic impression, while goes along with the story progression smoothly.

Speaking of Stages:

I hope to see a remake of an SF3 Necro or Alex Stage with Judgement Girls on it to return not just in Kanzuki beach.

And also to see SF2 Ken’s Stage with the interactive oil drum and a Q reference that appears randomly along match or sometime not seen.

Well, the game is very heavy on the remake-SFII-stages side of things right now, so maybe we will get it. Let’s hope. Some many awesome and classic stages in the SF series.

Tbh considering how they insist that now he’s a family (fucking rich) man, i will like they giving Ken something like this

or a remake of this

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/streetfighter/images/0/07/SFA2_stage_USA-Ken.png/revision/latest?cb=20120127202214

I hope they never remake that goddamn pool party stage, because the last one already caused idiots to think all those characters were canonically part of SF.

Tbh i don’t care how much it hurt your canon feelingz, it looked cool as fuck to see

The spirit of the stage was kinda clear

Said that, if i was the one to redesign it (maybe Mel birthday?), instead random capcom chars i will probably put in as NPC good/Ken’s friends SF characters (and make them disappear if one of them is fighting)

It can be a good excuse to put in some ones that will not return

Something happy full of fun interactions like these old artworks

The traditional party pool event was boring if it was as is for today standard, It would be interesting with a major update by replacing character with newer characters that would reference with CFN profile, blog and stories.

something like Kelvin Strayker replacing Captain Commando, Simone replace Linn, Ruby(heart) replace Morrigan the same with others like Momotaru, Beard, Bow, Sawada, Shiba, DD, Rook, Ingrid and Death.

They could add Asura, Pure-&-Fur, Tessa/Tabasa to have a witch, Hauzer, Leo and Hanzo to give more fantasy costume party vibe than the casual and formal. So no one will assume this characters are masquerading as normal people by dressing casually and formally to hide their true identity that was the thing in A2 stage that makes the whole scene confusing and mistaken that lead into speculation theories.

The thing many fans are desperate that would twist things to misrepresent things in favor to their preference and assume those characters in the stage were canon.

Still I prefer the SF2 Ken it more easy for the story progression along with the interactive drums that were more hardcore and nostalgic IMHO. Another thing with the pool party it had similar vibe like SFV Karin stage.

That why I prefer it to be just a Halloween Event Stage with strong emphasis into a costume party like last year. Interactive Drums is more into me.

I’m interested in S2 characters to a point that I can’t wait for S3. The silhouettes strategy disappointed me too much :frowning:

Indeed. Not hyped at all for silhouettes when they’re complete unknowns anyway. Also, with every S2 character reveal I keep thinking, “I still would have preferred Sagat/Rose/Fei, whatever. Take your pick.”

Kolin was a great reveal and Ed was average yet it tries to give a “wat da f*k” impression but it doesn’t mean its beyond average other than his commands execution.

I just want this season to be hopefully about characters to help story progression in an organic transition to SF3 saga rather than making it complicated, then the next season should be returning characters.

I still hope for a Delta Red representative, he could have a Captain Commando style gameplay.

Then Noembelu, Haggar and Tom… to have those guys involve with them had the right conclusion.
