Ideal characters list based on story:
-Gill/Urien (either one, not both)
-Sagat (tie up his story with Ryu and let him fight Shadowloo)
-Sakura (Want to see her reach the potential hinted at throughout the series)
-BONUS Kolin: Borrows some aspects of Karin similar to Mika/Fuerte, Alex/Abel, and Yun/Rufus. Not a rekka character, but keeps counters and forward-moving attacks.
As much as I love Juri … she’s going to be DLC. Shadowloo/SIN has to share the spotlight with Illuminati now, so we’re running out of room for villains that would be better used for Gill/Urien at this point.
And I hope early on we get Gill, Akuma, and either Sagat or a new boss who isn’t ass. Then we get a “EX Boss Rush” mode where you fight boss versions of Bison, Akuma, Gill, and Sagat/New Boss.
Well we know that. It’s about the excitement of possibly having them in the initial 16. It’s like that for anybody that wants a particular character. Especially if you haven’t resonated with any of the roster so far.
I’m pretty convinced Viper nor Ibuki will make it for launch so I’m content with just knowing if either make it it’ll be post release DLC. Until then I’ll just play my new age 3S Chun.
Wow, people out there is making a great effort and using tons of creativity in their attempt to self-trick themselves into beleiving Urien and Alex for some reason are going to be a part of the initial roster
I think people are over complicating it. I still am of the believe that the green and purple portions will all be SF2/Alpha characters. R.Mika being confirmed leaves only 3 spots to change that up and I would personally throw R.Mika hypothetically into the purple “Alpha” spot. Maybe if a 3S character was thrown in at this point I would have had some hope. At this point it looks like a pre SF3/4 train going on for launch. Don’t feel any of the SFIV newcomers will make day one either.
I have to admit at first I thought having no sf4 or 3s chars in the initial roster seemed unbelievable to me… Then I remembered the initial sf4 vanilla console roster had 4 alpha chars and no third strike characters at all.
I need juri n hoping a grown up sakura. Is the plan like league of legends to keep adding chars monthly as dlc after final release. With that strat we could see all chars in time
Please, if I were actually trying to make a prediction I’d probably cough up an essay or two for no one to read. You just get a half hour of drag and drop cause people like jumping to conclusions about that picture after the Vega reveal.
you’re just a troll who spamm “disagrees” on everyone who say somethign against karin or want sakura or any other alpha character more then her.
even when it doesn’t make sense, you spamm disagree like dislikes on reddit.
>someone posts information or guessings
>you click disagree (wot?)
Yes. If this game takes place before SF3, then Tom, Alex’s mentor, is practically a shoe-in and will give backstory to Alex’s entire motivation in the following chapter.
Plus any character inspired by Jean Reno is awesome in my book.
