SFV Character Request/Anticipation Thread

Well, seeing as the story mode hype has died down and we’re waiting for more Juri info, I guess I can resume my old antics.

Casual Design/Ideas: Final Fight Heroes for SFV

Cody: I think Cody would be an absolute beast in this game. His core goal of frame trapping into big damage sounds similar to Necalli, so we have to make sure everything else is different. As a trade off for not having a DP (this is Honest Fighter V after all), I think Cody should get godlike AA normals like a buffed version of b.MP. Also, let jab link after his overhead without counterhit, and make sure overhead, jab xx special works. Crack Kick and sweep would very definitely be Crush Counters, and for a 3-bar VT he would probably get st/cr.HP Crush Counters like Necalli. I think his Omega/Alpha 3 dodge would be a perfect V-Skill, with a button hold giving him Zonk Knuckle. His specials are pretty much fine, but making his EX Bad Stone an arc similar to FANG/Dhalsim’s projectiles would be an interesting AA (juggles into Ruffian Kick) and the second half of the arc could be great for oki set ups. He would probably lose his wake up Bad Spray, but get it as a V-Reversal instead. While his super doesn’t matter, his VT should be the long-awaited “handcuff break”. Idk what buff he should get, but it needs to be subtle if he maintains it for the rest of the round.

I think desperation attack would make the most sense for his v-reversal and I hope that they keep his bad spray because in this game where the majority of the game is based on quick rise knockdown pressure having a third wake up option would be unique and a number of characters have something wonky like that already, like Guile’s crouch walk. Could be interesting if it’s balanced right. Make it so that the total frame count is like 10F slower than a quick rise back but he is invincible except for last 5F. So basically he has quick rise -> quick rise back (5F slower) -> badspray (10F slower with 5F strike/projectile invincibility). So a lot of quick rise back light attack setups would be safe from BS but heavier attacks would likely get punished if timed to be meaty on QR back.

As for V-skill dodge or zonk, that is almost identical to Vega’s v-skill. Kind of boring if you ask me.

If they let Cody combo out of his OH you know it’s gonna be like 25F+ and he’d need to be point blank for it to combo. Only reason Ibuki’s really works is she hops up so high that she avoids a bunch of moves. Cody wouldn’t have that luxury.

Eternal for Season 2

V Trigger drops a huge block of paragraph on opponents that can hits either high or low

PoisonKiss · 2016-07-12T16:43:22.000Z

I think Cody’s an obvious choice, and I liked his redesign in the profile art. (I am also a Cody/Poison shipper~~~*~, so there’s that.)

Guy I agree would have some trouble differentiating himself among the current cast. I’d bet on Haggar before him. Maki feels like a longshot, but so did Birdie and Mika, so who knows at this point.

Jocelot · 2016-07-12T17:21:54.000Z

Man now you got me missing Kyosuke. He was one of my boys in CvS2 along with Eagle and Iori.
Now that the beach stage is a thing, maybe bringing Kyosuke back can be a thing too!

infrequent_lurker · 2016-07-12T18:23:15.000Z

PoisonKiss:

I sincerely doubt they’ll advertise or even tease S2 until after Juri and Urien come out. But I’m hoping for news about the Daily Challenges for fight money and about an Arcade Mode or a Survival revamp, yeah.

You’re most likely right BUT imagine this:

After Capcom does the presentation trailer or whatever the screen goes dark for a few seconds before you hear that all-too-familiar laugh…

“Heh heh heh heh heh. Like I said…”

flashes of various characters’ faces (some looking shocked) before battle-damaged Bison’s face is shown

“We’re not done.”

How sick would that be?

Too O.P. please nerf Ca-pu-com.

Seriously where is my E. Honda?

If every weirdo’s ugly waifu makes the cut the lack of HHS in this title is weak.

Not an Honda fan, but i understand

True_Tatsu · 2016-07-13T07:18:35.000Z

E.Honda could change some with a V.Skill that tosses salt.
-acts like a counter hit when hits (hi) the face
-counter projectiles
-effect push back pos/neg when a player is on top of it.
-OTG so he can “salt the wound”

EVIL KEN ?

HartleySan · 2016-07-13T22:43:58.000Z

The Japanese on the profile page calls him “Brainwashed Ken”.

DarthEnder · 2016-07-14T00:14:11.000Z

HartleySan:

The Japanese on the profile page calls him “Brainwashed Ken”.

Likewise, the profile page for Evil Ryu calls him Satsu No Hado Ryu. But the address for his image says E_Ryu. And the address for Brainwashed Ken’s image says E_Ken.

sooooooo SF2 the animated movie ken?

I would assume so, yes.

Shockdingo · 2016-07-14T00:47:14.000Z

Basically this. The profile specified that he’s not canon though. DOn’t know why it hasn’t been posted, but here’s the translated profile:

The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Brainwashed (Violent) Ken

For some reason, Ken doesn’t have “Satsui no Hadō”.
But he did become a Shadaloo’s puppet due to the influx of Lord Bison’s Psycho Power.
(in a parallel setting)

http://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/e_ken.jpg?h=6ed8351ad234933779d33a60a5eec69b

Name: Ken
Height: 175cm
Weight: 83kg
Blood type: B
Birthday: February, 14
Home Country: USA
Favorite things: Bloody Battles
Dislikes: Boredom

A Ken envious of Ryu and of his closeness to the true essence of a fighter.
This became his main weakness, that we took advantage of.
Lord Bison’s Psycho Power resonates with fear and distress,
and it’s simple to manipulate them.
The flames he’s clad in become purple,
and his attacks full of hatred.
However, seeing the red bandana of his eternal rival Ryu
he regained his true self.
A heart that thinks of others, that’s Ken’s strength.
(parallel setting!)

PoisonKiss · 2016-07-14T01:10:33.000Z

I do worry that the explicit ‘parallel setting’ note here will lead to people thinking other entries are canon if they don’t include that – thinking here of potential entries for Shadow Lady, Mecha Zangief… Ingrid…

Cestus · 2016-07-14T01:41:45.000Z

Mr.PaVy-RD:

sooooooo SF2 the animated movie ken?

A mix between SFV KEn, SNK Violent ken, SF2tam Ken and SF2v’s brainwashed Ryu with pink eyes

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/streetfighter/images/b/b1/Evil_ryu_sf_ii_v.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120204124022

btw is worth notice that brainwashed-shadaloo Ken was already considered as alt in SF4

ps: the art of SF4 sketches was so fucking good, it’s embarassing how it shit all over any SF4/SFV official art… i blame marketing and internet dbags

Pc mod of sean looks so freaking cool hope he does become playable in the future with the yellow track suit as his main costume

Laura was right. Sean needs to eat. According to his profile he’s almost the same size a Laura. Not according to his model.

True_Tatsu · 2016-07-14T06:09:16.000Z

SFV Sean

True_Tatsu:

When Sean gets in (1st or 2nd wave DLC pack) I’ld like to see him with…

V-skill (free throw) a short jump shot with forward, neutral, and backward inputs; shoots when mp+mk are released.
V-trigger (hado burst) beats most regular projectiles, has speed and wall bounce properties.
C.A. Hyper Tornado

has both ng and 3s versions of dragon smash (use dp, and rdp inputs) with opposing properties.
-ng version does not knock down without the (think MvC “spider sting”) “smash” input.
-ng version has forward movement and ground bounce; 3s ver is good anti air.
-ex ng version leaves in juggle state; ex 3s ver is good dmg combo ender.
his Shoto looking moves get relatively low dmg but specific solid setup properties to compensate.
-tornado has good stun dmg, hit stun, and knocks down on a 3rd hit.
his Matsuda style moves are his dmg dealers.
-lp/mp sean tackles hit low (ie block low), while hp/ex are actual ranged throws.
-lk/mk leg drops hit fast to combo into, while hk/ex are over heads you can combo from.

Perhaps Sean wanting to be like Ken ensures that Laura wants a fight with Ken.

just saying…
