SFV Character Request/Anticipation Thread

I think they’ll mix new characters too. Also I know Makoto looks like a boy, but Capcom has a 2 females per season limit :lol:

Love this list, but we probably won’t be so lucky.

People seem to think that if G and Q are the same person (which I doubt they are), that Q can’t be in, to which I point to Evil Ryu, Violent Ken, and Oni.

Which Capcom themselves have said they want to avoid in SFV to keep the roster diverse.

Which is, fortunately, not a thing they’ve done in SF5 yet, and I hope they continue to not.

My thoughts regarding Sakura.

I do agree they shouldn’t have changed Sakura’s color scheme. Super happy about the outfit change, but character’s color schemes should be iconic and shouldn’t change.

Makoto is the 1st most wanted character who isn’t in SFV, what a surprise. Even the official poll proves that, so will be hard for Capcom justify a non inclusion of her next season. If they keep with the 4 males + 2 females set then the remaining female spot would be one between Rose or Viper, nobody else.

It just depends on whether they wanna go with popularity or story. Also you forgot Poison.

Poison could be an option, but I dunno, she’s always appeared in every fighting game with Hugo in there. Definitely she’s a character who can be added alone and next year being also FF anniversary could be a big push for her towards SFV. We’ve just entered S3 and looking at the possible S4 roster all we have is the characters poll atm, but not is set in stone. As a well known Makoto diehard I’m genuinely happy about her being so high in popularity, at least I’m not alone or an Ingrid fan.

S4 could be entirely or mostly decided though. For example, do you think Capcom legitimately thought Blanka was more popular than Cammy, Ken, Karin, or Guile when he was chosen? Nah man, it’s a ruse to add some characters and point back to the poll to claim that they’re listening.

Pls, this poll was more than manipulated.
If you have some experience with programming, it can take you literlay 5 minutes to write a script to give someone autovotes.

There is no way on earth the usual 5 culprints aren’t Top 5.
They’re always Top5

Someone used a script for this poll and the names popped up the most were Cammy,Maki and Laura.

Obviously people started voting characters they want more than characters they love. I’ve voted my fav character since that was what the poll asked. Anyway ignoring the poll results would be pretty questionable by Capcom, they can’t ignore the fans and the S3 lineup proves that.

I think they’ll break them up for sure, she’s just so much more popular than Hugo, and such an LGBT reference in fighting games, she’s just grown into her own character with her own (quite large) fanbase over the years. I’m not sure Capcom will take the poll that seriously though, not only is it heavily skewed towards a season 3 wishlist, the amount of injected votes that were seen kinda makes me hard to think of it as legit. The one from 5 years ago just looks more reliable imo.

Rose, Mak, Fei, Duds, Q, Abel for S4 in 2019
I’d be 100% ok with that

No it wont. They chose all the character DLC for this game through 2020 before the game even came out. This poll is going to have no effect on which characters make it into the game for the next 2 years at least.

**Polls should be divided like this as an example …

so that it can give genuine and filtered results that have specific criteria
**

Who is the best Boss in SF?

Who is the best Evil Organization?

Who is the best Boxer?

Who is the best Grappler?

Who is the best Charge character?

Who is the next background character the you want to be seen playable?

Who is the character that you want to return with the most least appearance in the past?

Who is the best Master?

Who is the best SFZ Girl?

Who is the best SF4 Girl?

Who is the best Shadaloo Doll?

Who is the best Henchman?

Who is the best Mad gear character?

Who is the worst SFZ character?

Who is the worst SF4 character?

Agree 2 years or 1 year as the least.

Agree because this poll could be suitable for the final season or the next SF game if possible.

2 years or 1 yr and half as an interval is the perfect way to identify a season character.

Yet they are free to alter new characters to be different new characters as things progresses… but still keeping mostly their special moves intact.

Zeku might have been Gen’s disciple in the beginning or Ed could have been Byron, which is altered by trends and reaction changes.

The huge part of designing a character that would cause a delay is gameplay.

Model skins. then followed by other presentation like win quotes, voice overs, images and etc are done as the feedback progresses.

That procedure for new characters is different from the like of returning characters because of the special as already iconic and mostly attach to the character.

I remember the time when SF4 was release like 1 year and there are news that Deejay and THawk was already finish with endings and models.

Unfortunately, I have already bribed Ono, so Season 4 is as follows:

  • Eagle
  • Elena
  • Dee Jay
  • Hakan
  • Maki
  • Sodom
