Was just gonna post this.
I would say it’s definitely possible. Even though Karin deserves it more.
Maybe it will be Karin vs Sakura at TGS
Yea why not. I mean it would make sense to reveal another female character next. We got like 3 guys in a row after Cammy.
rofl look at r mika’s neck on that card poster thing.
Muscular neck for muscular woman, looks ok to me.
That would make one hype ass trailer though, sworn frenemies battling it out in a new game
My biggest nightmare has come true, Mika is in the game. A fanservice character, why isn’t it Alex instead, at least has he personality.
Yes I am disapointed . I hoped we will get better characters than this.
At least I can still hope for something serious or Ingrid.
And your avatar is no fanservice?
What is exactly Alex’s “personality”? Being tough and… er…? what else? Mika has way more personality than Alex.
Also you complaining about “fanservice characters” and you hoping for “something serious or Ingrid”? What the hell? Do you even realize no one can take you seriously with those comments?
she’s like
what you know abotu angels personality?
It would be funny if operating under the assumption characters are paired up with a character related to them (which I’m still not sold on personally), Capcom shocks the world and Mika is paired up with neither Gief or Karin, but Alex instead.
Seeing as his movelist is based on western power wrestlers it wouldn’t be that farfetched.
Alex says “I Don’t Lose” after he wins. Just to let you know hes never lost. Ever. That’s all the personality you need. And he rips his shirt off
Don’t try it.From my favourites is Angel only place 6.
1.Cammy White 2. Jun Kazama 3.Rugal Bernstein 4.Leona Heidern 5.Juni 6.Angel 7.Ralf Jones 8.Terry Bogard 9.Whip 10.Ingrid
Fanservice is what people want. They don’t care if every fightingstyle is in the game . They just wan’t characters which (mostly) suck in their game and hope they are better in the new one.Some people don’t even play this chars and just want them for the visual.
Of course thats not everybody,a lot of people want these characters actually because they like them,but I don’t belive that 95% of the community want the same 5 characters. Thats like the newest cloths,in the next year everybody want someone else and the ones they requested before,will be unplayed.
The point is,the game needs to have a balanced cast,every archetype should be 1x in the game. Especially in the core cast. So far we have 1 Zoner (Ryu),1 keepawayler(Chun),2 Grapplers(Mika and Birdie),3 Rushdown chars(Vega,Necalli and Ken) and 3 pressurechars (Cammy,Nash and Bison). We only have 1 Charger so far, no fullscreen normal character( and I hope thats not Dhalsim or Necro) and overall not many chargers. With R.Mika are also only 3 spots for returning ones left and I promise you that one is Sakura.
What does this game need? No more Grapplers and Rushdown/Pressurechars that’s for sure.
Coming to Zoners. Chun’s keepaway game feels allright,since she is based on footsies for this and so far she and Cammy have the best footsies games. Ryu however feels wrong in this game. They nerfed fireballs a lot and he is only a true Zoner in V-Trigger,since everybody can counter projektiles pretty easy. His footsiesgame isn’t the best and he isn’t someone you could play offensiv zoning with,like Guile in SFIV. But I don’t feel that that’s Ryus fault,he is classic,like he always is,but SFV doesn’t support traditional zoning,thats why people think Ryu is weak. At least the people I talked with at gamescom. In my opinion is he pretty good,for SFV however lots of Ryu’s have to adjust their gameplay,since zoning from far away won’t work as good as in SFIV. He was very effectiv in closer ranges. Blockstrings that end into Hadouken and cancelable pokes made him pretty enjoyable to play and I don’t like Ryu at all. But I see another Typ of Zoner coming. For these who know KoF is Athena someone you will remember,her zoninggame fits good into SFV and Ingrid has the visuall appearance for this. Perhaps we will become Ingrid as another Zoner(but then with reworked outfit pls), but in my eyes we have enough Rushdown,Pressure and Grappler Chars.
Fireballs aren’t nerfed if you ask me, they’re buffed. Frames seem more or less the same, get better in VT, and there’s no focus dashing to build anti-fireball ultra.
What they nerfed is his normal range. So, the spacing between “fireballs are good” and “normal xx fireball is good” is larger. A lot of people throw bad fireballs because of that. They’re also impatient.
Some of the things that are being claimed as “anti-fireball” are way exaggerated. For example Necalli berserker barrage only ever hits as a counterhit or against a jumping opponent, and from those videos people are saying that’s supposed to be a good anti-fireball tool? Same with Birdie’s moves. You need to guess with those abilities, and in those cases you could have jumped instead.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an out-of-the-box zoner in the new characters though. I’m still expecting to see some characters that really experiment with the V-mechanics like they were coming from a game where that kind of thing is common (character-specific gauges, puppet characters…)
I have a theory that Tom is the ‘army friend’ Charlie left Abel with before his fateful duel with Bison. Tom is described as a military veteran that specializes in hand-to-hand combat. This would explain who taught Abel his MMA style.
There’s also the story plot where Tom fights Gill, and was gravely injured in the process. This is what starts Alex off on his quest for revenge (leading to the events on NG)…
I have a strong feeling that Gill is the last boss in SF5 …
So, I’ve got an idea for what I think a good v-skill for Juri would be. It would be the the little kick she does to store a fire ball. It would nullify fireballs and also be a good poke, though it wouldn’t knock down anymore. Kinda like Nash’s bullet clear. Now when she does it she stores a fireball, up to a max of three. You can still use it after you store all 3 but it won’t save anymore. To actually use the fireball just do the motion and the kick determines if it’s high low or mode. She cannot use her fireball unless she stores first. Also means you wouldn’t have to hold a kick for storing which I never liked.
VT is obviously FSE.
I would love her CA to be that kick she does to Guile in her OVA. Where she blasts energy straight through his chest.
Yes and no. Throwing fireballs on longer ranges is against characters like Bison or Nash pretty useless,they V-Skill their way trough. However I played mostly Cammy at Gamescom and was able to fix a range I could V-skill all raw fireballs without any problems,some people could addept and canceled them out of normals.But I want to say that cr.mk xx Hadouken isn’t even on point blank a true blockstring.There is a small gap that you can use to choose,block or counter. Since most people were pretty unpatient I could just V-Skill around them or DP/CA them.
Sad there wasn’t a lot of very good players there, this game seems incredible fun at higher levels and extremyl footsies heavy what I allready love.
But what you mentoied, I was thinking about it,Capcom could introduce one or two guest chars after the release of the core roster,as long they fit into SF of course. I just say Rugal,because we talked about Zoners.
Your theory is wrong because Charlie’s army friend died in an accident shortly before the events of SF4, setting up Abel’s story and motivation in the process.
Tom is Tom.
The problem is that outside of Nash’s HP fireball, they’ve been entirely relegated to a poking tool at about sweep range against several characters because you can’t react to them there. Any further and you’re just building the other character meter.
It just feels so binary right now; you don’t get to throw fireballs against Bison, you do against Birdie. In exchange Bison doesn’t have a VSkill if you don’t have fireballs (as it’s pretty useless against pokes).
