SFV Character Request/Anticipation Thread

But it looks like her seismo has currently been jacked by Necalli, so I doubt we’ll see her any time soon. Not that I don’t want her in, on the contrary, I think viper is amazing.

Retsu
Geki
Lee
Eagle
Sagat
Guile
Dhalsim
Gief
(Claw with different move set)
Q
Abel

I really hope at least 2 characters from this list will be in the game from the start.

Hey, don’t forget there’s like 4-6 year gap between SF4 and SF3, you never know what technology Viper might come back with next time we see her

I hope she visited Netherworld, saw Ferra/Torr in action, and learns the secret art of “Lauren toss”.

You mean Netherrealm/Outworld

I would accept Viper being back so every time I do something stupid with her I can yell “YOU DUMB BITCH THIS IS WHY YOU’RE STILL SINGLE”

LOL it saddens me that people are this stupid…

i just want a charge character with plasma (bison doesn’t count imo). i don’t care if that’s remy, deejay, guile or an entirely new character. actually part of me wants it to be a new character because then they could do some other stuff to that wouldn’t necessarily suit guile.

Chun’s fireball is still a charge move.

you know what’s funny? i usually totally overlook/forget her because legs in sf4 are a mash button move and i hate doing those moves, so i never use her. now that’s gone now too, yea i might just play chun in this game.

I want Final Fight Cody back.

My personal list consist of
Alex
Sakura
Karin
Yun/yang
Oro
Akira, Daigo (rival schools)
Dean (final fight3)
Cody
Haggar
Urien
Dudley
Bison’s master
Can’t think of anymore at the moment.
But with 2 rival school characters, sakura and Karin capcom can build up some steam for a possible rival schools 3.

Dean would be rad

I really want them to bring Hakan back. I feel like he could really benefit from this V-System. But seeing as we already have a comical grappler in Birdie, I doubt it’ll happen. Honestly I would just like to see capcom put effort into the characters they already created. The only SF4 character I didn’t like was Rufus (did we really need a Bob rip off already that soon?) Abel, Juri, and C. Viper are the most likely characters to appear in this game based on popularity and story. Which I would be fine with, I play both Abel and Juri. I just want to see Abel fleshed out more. His Omega version was probably the best I’ve seen of him. I’d like to see some of that make it to SF5.

Personally I found dean kind of boring, I’d much rather have Lucia. Never was a fan of Dean / Carlos for some reason they never clicked with me like Cody/Haggar/Guy/Maki/Lucia did.

Stop bringing rival school or more final fight characters in street fighter! just stahp.

What’s wrong with bringing in FF characters? The series is considered part of the SF universe, Capcom pulls from Final Fight fairly often actually. SFA/SF3/SF4 all have had a new appearance of a final fight character in an SF game. Cody/Guy/Rolento/Maki for SFA, Hugo (with cameo of Poison) for SF3, and Poison in SF4 and Haggar has made cameos in SFA/SF4 backgrounds. That’s nearly 10% of all SF characters who’ve ever been actually in an SF game (IIRC if you include all SF1 chars who weren’t actually playable the entire cast is just under 70 characters.)

I really don’t see the problem.

BTW, I don’t recall this particular billboard being in SFxT (unlike the Alex one).

I can confirm this is 100% real, this isn’t my own image but I’ve found the billboard myself in game the same way.

If you had to choose, which would you prefer in SFV - Haggar or Zangief?

Zangief definitely. Especially iif he is getting a well deserved reinvention like many of the returning characters.

Haggar isn’t even in the same league as Gief in terms of fandom and popularity.

As much as I like Haggar, Zangief seems more appropriate.
