Time to make a new V-Skill since Birdie stole your idea 
I would like Ken to have his ST style crazy kicks back and for his v-trigger to add more combobility and flashiness to them. Like if he lands an overhead crazy kick in v-trigger mode then it adds a ground bounce property. If he combos into a regular crazy kick it adds extra hitstun\launches so Ken can combo\juggle off of it. Making crazy kicks an important part of his game plan would make him stand out and less shoto like.
Birdie, too.
i have a feeling its going to be Ken, just got a gut feeling
Birdie less so. Birdie is still similar in a lot of ways, I mean there is certainly plenty different but a lot is similar. He still has most of the same normals (sMP and his crLP are noticeably different though), a lot of similar animations, most his moves are the same still with some additions or tweaks. Like murderer chain becoming his EX Hanging Chain animation. Bull head and bull horn are still there with new inputs. His Bull revenger is basically a variation of his basic throw animation from Alpha 3. He is certainly different for sure, especially thanks to V-skills, but all in all a lot of itās still there. Nash is practically a new character.
Nash has very few of his normal attacks from Alpha days, only I think 2 or 3 jump attacks and his command normals seem the same otherwise he looked to be all different. He no longer is a charge character at all when everything he had was charge (all supers, and both specials unlike Birdie with 1 super and 1 special). Nash is missing his flash kick and his super is nothing like any of his supers from alpha. He has his axe kick from MvC though he canāt perform it in the air. He is almost but not quite completely different.
Itās gonna be Ken v2.0 and another character. Probably SF3 character. Having half the cast (8?) ready for beta next month feels right.
Yeah, I canāt imagine the beta only having these same 6 that have been revealed. Surely at least 2 more. I hope we get a teaser at the end of e3. Evo is one of the biggest events so I canāt imagine theyād only reveal 1 character.
1 returning and 1 new would be good.
True, Nash definitely has changed more.
But with his banana, can projectile and being able to throw out his chain Birdieās gameplay seems a lot different from Alpha to me. Gotta admit though that I donāt really know high level Alpha Birdie playā¦
still waiting for Ken 
So far the line up is awesome.
Would like to see:
- Adult Karin
- Adult Sakura
- Alex
- Sodom
- Guy
- Eagle
- Urien
- Oro
I like this. Add Claw, Rose, Q, and Necro and itās a deal.
Probably alex or karin because they are characters that people at evo will recognise and they also bring hype.
But if they want to release a new character they probably release Ken or Alex alongside it.
Iām with Essenthy, still waiting for Ken
Alex and someone else.
Oh Qā¦
Ken with either Alex or a new character
I was just thinking about this. I say Alex, Ken and Urien are next at EVO!
iād like to see one of the new characters next. did ken bogard say 2 or 4 new characters? i hope at least one of them is a charge character.
thats what i would like to seeā¦but my gut feeling is we will see ken.
