It was mentioned by Ono himself at the end of Rashid’s reveal presentation in Dubai.
He may have not specifically say ‘We are revealing a new character in TGS’. But he did hint at new stuff @ TGS.I doubt we’ll get something other than character reveals. In fact, it would be likely for them to reveal Akuma and/or Sakura with a bunch of new stages. Or maybe even info on the story mode.

also, i’d much appreciate it if we dont see the annoying teen Sakura again. If they plan on returning her, i REALLY hope they return her at her adult stage.

4282

Ono is gonna be dropkicked into the next dimension if that happens lol I swear

4283

How about we not see Sakura at all… Let other old characters take the spotlight.

4284

I hope she dresses as an adult. She was an adult in SFIV. Ono gave some lame excuse of her school girl uniform being her fighting attire. Cammy and Sakura are the same age.

4285

Is there any hint out there suggesting Karin is going to be revealed or all of this is simply players’ wishful thinking?

This adult Sakura thing is getting annoying. The whole point of her is being a schoolgirl, you might also ask for Zangief with shaven face and chest or a thin Honda after putting on a diet and wearing a suit. If you don’t like her, look somewhere else instead of a japanese shonen like fighting game.

Ideally, I would like Final Fight to have some representation in the initial roster, especially if they do plan on skipping SF3 entireley: Haggar, Guy, Maki or Lucia from the Siliconera leak would fit the quota.

4286

YOU’RE ANNOYING

Then there’s no point in this character’s existence in the first place if she isn’t supposed to be developed further than showing pantsushots all day long

4287

Sakura or Akuma would cancel out the positive of all the excellent characters they have released thusfar in SFV. Flower kick panty shots and Ryu turbo deluxe model can stay in the past.

4288

1 hour until they reveal older karin with big tits and ass lol

4289

Biologically speaking yes they are probably the same age, but in real time Cammy would be no more than 6-8 years old in SF5.

That really depends on how much ‘awesome’ and ‘new’ they bring to the table. But I see exactly where you are coming from.

4290

The Siliconera reveal. They said R.Mika and Karin are in SF5.
They also said Urien and Alex are in but I guess those will be DLC (maybe day 1 dlc though).

4291

You guys realize this can happen right? Don’t you remember the SFXTK teasers where they showed Mika’s costume and it ended being Kuma in it? Or Decapre’s trailer? I was salty back then but now I have to admit it was an insanely good troll lol.

4292

Unless they make akuma more varied, keep him out :confused:
Dhalsim>violent ryu’s daddy. I’m madder than you boy, look at my purple fireballs. Please, please have dhalsim or oro put akuma in dlc bracket.

4293

I’m personally hoping for Akuma, though at the same time I feel if he makes a return he might be subject to some heavy reworking comparable to what we’ve seen Charlie and to a lesser extent Ken receive which ought to be interesting. Capcom seem pretty motivated to add more degrees of separation between the shotos if the differences between Ryu and Ken and are anything to go by and I’d like to think this will extend to Akuma (were he to return) also.

To be honest though, it’s highly likely he’ll be a day one DLC option. He’s popular and will no doubt sell well right out of the gate.

4294

I think you want as much variety as possible in the first batch. Akuma should get in, but they’ve not put the original 12 in like SF4 did so I think it’s more likely to be another character, three shoto’s out of that small number is too much.

4295

Yeah, that’s true. Unless of course he is heavily reworked. To be honest, I was surprised to see Ken make the cut and also revealed so soon though.

As we were jabbering about only yesterday, adding Gief and Sim would go a long way towards adding to variety. They’re obviously not new characters, but their playstyles are unique, sane and classic enough to warrant consideration for the roster.

In terms of what I personally consider sane character design, I must admit I’m pleasantly surprised with Necalli so far as how he works and how down to earth he is. I’d really like to see some more of Rashid doing his thing too, but insofar I’m relieved their new efforts aren’t from the Viper/Fuerte/Seth/Decapre bucket. So far the new guys strike me as more grounded in terms of design.

4296

I want to see some flower kick panty shots in this beautiful UE4.

4297

I think it’s possible the 3S characters won’t be butchered this time around.
At least mechanically.

Although the animations still kind of ruin things. The nature of 3D animation as Capcom has chosen to pursue it is overly smooth and lacks real snap and rigidity. I say Capcom and not just 3D in general because Arcsys has shown how possible it is by not using anything but keyframes (among other things). Tweening is the death of style.

4298

I believe there was a concept for one of the new SFIV characters who is a clown character.
You know, my favorite villain of all time is Kefka from FFVI. I would totally love a character like that, male or female I don’t care.

Probably won’t happen, but I am almost a 100% sure there will be a real harlequin costume for Mika eventually.

Not gonna lie, I like what they did to Cammy. A more grown up body is always nice to have. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But on the other hand, we have 3 mature women now. Maybe it’s time for something younger and keep the schoolgirls the way they are.

4299

I like both. The thing that bothers me is this…

In 2D games Ken’s forward roundhouse looks like it causes pain. In 3D his kicks just look baggy. I have an irrational amount of hate for that one thing.

4300

Well considering all the other Alpha characters gotten in, if Karin makes it in i expect her to be fully changed anyway. I dont really want it to though. Even if they would keep her style the same, they definitely cant keep the same movelist the way it is if they are truly doing away with 360 motions. Moving the 360 to either half circle would conflict with other moves. And based on Cammy’s moveset they are probably doing away with TK moves as well, so she has 2 moves that cant be remapped directly.
