I for one can’t imagine them changing Balrog or Guile’s gameplay O.O

I don’t think he’s a professional racer…nor hates racing…not sure though.

So, with 5 characters left to be revealed (3 returning and 2 new), I’m just gonna give my opinion on who and when the fighters I see making it in the initial 16 might get announced.

Keep in mind this isn’t a wishlist, as even some characters here don’t appeal much to me.

TGS (15th-20th September) - Karin

NYCC (8th-11th October) - Alex

**Brazil Game Show ** (9th-12th October) - Laura (brazilian newcomer)

(November, no specific show) - Zen (indian newcomer)

**Capcom Cup/PSX **(5th-6th December) - Urien

Then I believe they may announce two DLC characters before the game launches, but not release them until 1-2 weeks later after people have the game.

I think Karin will be released at Capcom Cup and no 3S characters are making the initial roster. I think the last two will be Gief and Balrog and or Sim.

Yeah this is really just based on rumors and speculation, my actual wishlist only involves one of the 3 characters left rumored by Siliconera. I’d love to see Balrog for sure.

We’ll see, friend. I’ve got bets on Karin being the TGS reveal.

Cipher · 2015-09-13T02:02:35.000Z

TGS with the possibility of Ingrid returning. Guys Ingrid is Top5 in Japan too, she isn’t unpopular over there and her chance isn’t to bad,her gameplay would actually fit into SFV.

Akhos · 2015-09-13T02:08:58.000Z

Still holding out hope for Sakura, even if her chances of being in the initial roster is slim to none at this point.

Neclord · 2015-09-13T02:26:51.000Z

Well, since Siliconera is a reliable source so far, my money is on Karin.

I hope they gave her a grown up redesign if she gets revealed… at least that way we will know Sakura got the same treatment as well.

Assuming she will be the next reveal, I’m also seriously wondering what her V-Trigger and V-Skill will be like. For someone like Karin I feel like they can give her something really interesting.

Yea, I also hope she will be more grown up.

V-Skill or V-Trigger could be something revolving around her butler. He comes in and gives her a water bottle. Regenerating some health. Lol jk.

Shinkuu_Tatsumaki · 2015-09-13T03:28:16.000Z

Fuck it. I’m just gonna call it right now. TGS is gonna reveal both Sakura and Karin together.

Scanman · 2015-09-13T03:35:52.000Z

I’m actually starting to think the next returning “alpha” character will be Ingrid. Now, I KNOW SHE ISN’T POPULAR, but that’s what Capcom’s tweet hinted at a few months ago. Considering they mention her… never… the rest of the time, I think that was their teaser.

I think they’ll be holding off Sakura and Karin for DLC. Too big of a money opportunity. People wouldn’t buy DLC for Ingrid. At least, not outside of Japan.

Sodom and other FF characters will be released in bundles for DLC as well, I think.

It could also be Eagle, but… meh. People keep pointing out the huge number of blondes and the lack of women. He wouldn’t fix either of those problems (not that capcom cares about diversity, thank god). Plus they could release him with Dudley as a “gentleman’s DLC pack” or something.

So… Ingrid. Wonder what they could do to make her more interesting. One good thing is that having Bison, Ingrid, and Illuminati members is that they will be able to retcon A LOT of shit story-wise.

I hope not; she’s too proud a character to have her butler (awesome as he is, patching up her foes after a fight) assist her.

I suspect she’s going to have her command list massively paired down. You’ll have her Rekka, her command grab, her wheel kick, and her counter probably. The Elbow rush and upkicks, if they return, will probably be command normals (and I suspect the upkicks will be something like df.hk or f.hk). Her counter seems perfect as a V Skill as well; if they go that route they may split them into high and low or just make it one counter. I do hope it would be a zero frame counter though as it would not work against fireballs.

Which would leave her command list looking something like this
Forward Throw
Back Throw

MP+MK High Counter
d.MP+MK Low Counter

f.mk Overhead
df.hk Upkicks
f.hp xx hp Elbow Rush Target Combo

QCF K: Wheel Kick
HCB K: Command Grab
QCF P: Rekka
Followups: P does another Rekka
K does Upkicks
Can be canceled into V Skill
After Rekka 2
P Does a final rekka (Palm Strike)
K does upkicks
Can be canceled into V Skill

This gets rid of the slide ender and the ability to go into the elbow rush and wheel kick. So there’s no real high/low mixup on the rekkas, but that was never really that important in the first place.

I have no clue what they’ll do for her V Trigger. Perhaps an attack so that you have a real juggle after upkicks other than just going into super such as her old kick super? They were messing around with CCs using Omega Sakura but I feel that would be saved for her rather than put on Karin.

But they have only one Alpha slot left

MilesRiey · 2015-09-13T04:23:55.000Z

I do agree that her butler shouldn’t assist her as R.Mika already has a similar V-trigger.

However, removing her ability to do different followup attacks after her first rekka? Hell no, being able to mix it up was one of the reasons she was unique in the first place.

Removing that ability from her would make her rekkas so straight forward that I’d rather just have Fei Long instead.

You could do the V Skill or Upkicks after the first one, so 3 options. You could also just throw a rule on that says “can cancel into other specials” to keep the wheel kick option. I’m just trying to keep her movelist both on one card and having every move be useful. I wouldn’t be against still having the slide in there (I think the elbow rush fits a lot better as a target combo and the upkicks as a command normal), but I’m trying to get inside Capcom’s design space.

I can see the reactions of all the haters and naysayers if that turned out to be true.
