SFV Character Request/Anticipation Thread

[SideshowRob]

Dark/Violent/Sunburnt version of everyone confirmed as V-Trigger 2.

[Easilyn]

Everytime I see a statue I just assume confirmed. Dhalsim yay. Juri in, ok. Sigh… no hugo statue. Eiiin zweiiii will be missed.
Balrog has grown on me. Torn decision between dudley and balrog cuz really they’re both good.

It’s not like choosing between rufus and makoto, that’s a tough call between rog and dud.
elfuerte or zangief is a nobrainer. zangief over fuerte.[Unless hugo has a snowball’s chance in hell]
juri over maki[pitchforking meh is undeestood i don’t know if maki as good tbh]
…the guy with batons, dunno bout him…
I feel blanka, bad feeling he in.

Dan or king cobra. Turn dan into mr.karate imo. That was funny back then but dan needs some mr karate type shit.
Necalli eats akuma, dlc.
yun/yang’s student or have one of em take a back seat.
Teaser for brand new number 2. 4 seconds long perhaps, keep us thirsty capcom.

Range accounts for multiple factors beyond poke range. Chun has long pokes + a fireball for instance. Birdie has his chain attack + hop throw + long reaching pokes. I think that is how they are accounting for “range”

Ryu, Ken, and Nash have level 2 range. Fireballs are not accounted for, so it has to come from physical attacks.

Their pokes don’t reach terribly far. I said it accounts for MULTIPLE factors.

That E. Ryu statue is currently available on Capcom’s shop and maybe a Ryu one is soon to follow. Seems more like product placement than any kind of foreshadowing.

As cool as Sim is I can’t see him in this game b/c of no close/far normals. You could go the route of giving him many command normals but that doesn’t seem to go in the user friendly direction the game seems to be going in.

Sim doesn’t have any proximity based normals and never has. He has 28 command normals in SF4 (26 if you don’t count his differnt drill strengths as seperate normals).

Sim would be an awesome character in SFV, primarily because his greatest weakness won’t be in the game, which is Focus.

If Sim doesn’t make it in, I hope the rumored charcater Zen is added in his place as a female Yoga practitioner trained by him. She has no Yoga fire/projectile, no drills, and no teleport. In exchange, she gets better close range normals than Sim (better cr.mk, cr.hp, cr.hk etc), better slides, her Yoga Flames/Blast can be used in the air to air dash much like Twelve in 3S, Yoga flame/blast also changes her trajectory depending on which button is pressed and can be cancelled into a normal attack, yoga flames and blast startup much faster and are safer, and a special move hit throw with OH, low, and mid variant.

Bullet points:

1. Some command normals should have better range and startup than SF4 Sim.

2)Lk.slide has 2-3 more special cancellable frames; Mk.slide has more hit and block stun; Hk.slide starts up at 8F.

3)Grounded Yoga flame/blast startup changed to around 5-7 for lights; 7-10 for mediums; and 10-14 for heavies.

4)Air Flame/blast can be tiger kneed like Sims teleport. The fire can hit the opponent and leave them in a juggle/combo state. Depending on button press the six directions are DB; B; UB; UF; F; and DF. The travel distance is the same as Sims teleport. The flame/blast starts up the same as Sims teleport. Is not an overhead.

5. Special move that is a hit throw. It hits as mid which is -2F on guard; OH is -4F on guard; and low is -5F on guard.

6. Her CA is a grounded Yoga Shangri-la that functions like Birdies CA. Maybe more range.

7. V Skill: Yoga Coals. She breathes fire on the ground in front of her. The fire is one average chacters width. The fire can reach up to 3 levels. Level one is instant and it lasts for one second. To reach level two the same spot must be hit with Yoga Coals for 2 cumulative seconds before the level one time limit runs out. Level 2 lasts for 3 seconds. For level 3 the same spot must be hit for 3 cumulative seconds before the level 2 time limit runs out. Level 3 lasts for 5-6 seconds.
   Only one Yoga Coal can be on screen at any given time. Another Yoga Coal cannot be created until the other dissipates. Level 1 hits once, level 2 hits twice, and level 3 hits thrice. Once blocked during startup, Yoga Coals dissipates.

8. V Trigger: Install type with 2 bars that lasts about as long as Ryu’s. Flames become larger and turn blue. V Skill is instantly level 3, but lasts for only 3 seconds.

Yeah, not really bullet points.

Tl;dr: Yoga yoga yoga yoga yoga yoga.

Oh, man, Juri reveal would make me hit critical hype. Shit would have me foaming at the mouth. She would just fit so well in this game.

On that note, I’ve wanted to ask this question: If all characters are on the table, and you leave out drastic changes (which are unforeseeable), which character absolutely CANNOT work in this game’s system?

I’d nominate Q. Seems like he’d be so slow in this game, and without parry, he loses his best defensive option/meter building tool. And without taunts that increase his defense rating (unless they made that his v-skill, which seems like a waste), I doubt even Kuroda could make Q work in SF5.

I dont see how Q is a problem, it would be alot easier to stick in Q over somebody like urien which everybody and there mother seem to be begging for.

There’s been no mention of Karin for a while…

Oh’no I may have opened a can of worms :*

Maybe they’ve given up. Even bluefang is sporting a Necalli avi.

[DevilJin_01]

You can make any character fit in a new SF game. You just have to adjust frame data, hit boxes and other small properties to fit a new game. Considering the radical changes they’ve made to the roster now that mostly comprises of SF2 and Alpha characters, nothing is off limits.

Where the fuck is Alex and Viper?

[Rugalitarian]

Viper sux.

Alex needs in.

One of the major complaints of players in USF4 is how some characters don’t seem to “fit” the system; Dhalsim is focus’ bitch, Makoto doesn’t feel like herself. And one of the major points of SF5 is how the characters dictate how the system works, not the other way around (Peter said that in an interview IIRC). With the degree of liberty they have in this game (different from SF4, which was meant to “reset” the series to a simpler time, leaving many characters “stuck in SF2”), it’s safe to assume every character could work in SF5, from the less obvious ones (Like Q, although he’d need some creativity instead of just making his EX dashpunches have armor) to the ones practically made for this system (like Juri with Feng Shui V-Trigger or Hakan with Oil Shower V-Skill, Oro with Tengu Stone/Arms Release V-T, etc.); as the V-System works to give every character individuality (with their V-T’s boosting their main strenght and their V-Skills covering their weak spots). Characters in SFV are tailor made to fit and have their space, we won’t have a bunch of characters who do another one’s job, but better.

SF4 started with a mechanic, and then had to build characters around it. While some found obvious use for the game-defining mechanic, others hardly used it. Naturally, this didn’t sit incredibly well with many players.

“…instead of them having to wonder if (a player’s) character will fit within the engine and play it properly, now they know. The character defines the engine. That’s ultimately what people want. They just want to play. They want to play and pick the characters they want to use.”

While every character will have a V-Skill, they are not at all the same. Where Focus Attack was similar in every character, V-Skills are tailor made to fit the style and feel of each individual.

Street Fighter 5’s model offers players a game wherein they can use the characters they’ve come to know and love in a way they want and expect. It may not be a perfect system, as some characters’ V-Skills and such will surely benefit them more than other characters’ do, but it’s certainly a movement towards a more diverse SF experience.Street Fighter 5’s model offers players a game wherein they can use the characters they’ve come to know and love in a way they want and expect.

We try to look at the characters individually, and figure out a skill that will complement them, maybe help counter a weakness.

Quotes from 2 interviews with Peter and one with Matt, it’s clear what Capcom is trying to achieve this time around when it comes to character variety and viability.

[itsOneO]

With Birdie and Nash in the game, I wonder if Capcom will give us just two more “Alpha” characters, then round out the rest of the base cast with World Warriors & new characters.

Then Capcom will sell us “3rd Strike” & “SF4” DLC character packs. >____< … (or get them for free with fight money)

Just played an ibuki in endless battle. I always struggle with Ibuki players. I think her design would be rather interesting in this game.

As far as Karin is concerned I think we hyped ourselves out. Only thing left is that reveal at capcom cup

[Intuitive2011]

Cross up kunai or nah? Sounds very fucking interesting

[john4p]

They could make her 3rd Strike-like. No Kunai-vortex.
Then she’d be a very interesting and unique addition to the roster.

[Sharnt]

Dan or king cobra. Turn dan into mr.karate imo. That was funny back then but dan needs some mr karate type shit.

I’d really see that running command throw on Dan. I think it would compliment well the character. Press with kohoken until your opponent is scared then run half screen and throw <3

Yessir, as I was getting my ass beat I was like damn… This character would be beautiful in SFV

[DevilJin_01]

I liked the way she worked in 3s better. Better normals, faster walk speed and her standard dash could teleport cross so there wasn’t a need for kunai jump vortex. I don’t really have any faith in Capcom doing her an in interesting way for me so ill just wait to do anime execution with Viper.

It is time for dan to become mr karate. Birdy got the comedy slot.
