SFV Character Request/Anticipation Thread

Yeah I’ve always been under that impression…especially since my friends dad looks a lot like Dudley

Mercury was Parsi actually. It’s kind of Indian but also kind of not. I think it’s distinct enough to be worth mentioning. After all it started in Iran.

Huh? Where did you get Dudley from? There has been hints to Blanka but Dudley hasn’t been on the leak lists or had any sort of hints or reasonings to be included. No relationships to any existing characters, no additional stages to indicate it (England already got 2 reps). Nothing of the sort.

ken looks like mesut ozil in a blonde wig.

hopefully they will sort his hair out a little bit but other than that i think the character looks fantastic.

Blanka and Dudley? What.

Not really he was supposed to be it was not and became a separate entity.

I agree with who say the dude may be maori/samoan like new char from New Zealand

NZ is next stage going to be revealed, he’s next char going to be revealed (EVO?)

Actually he have a kinda boss look, but i doubt they will reveal the boss so soon… he’s more likely a random badass or maybe a sub-Boss like was Sagat for Dictator

As style?
Maybe he will be our MMA char… potentially he look like a good rival for Alex

Since Ken had run, Sakura should have rolls. And make it so that you can special cancel out of it, and said specials gain invul frames. That way, I can call my boy BAS and tell him he has no excuse to not pick up the new game now.

She wont have guard break though. Plus what if Sagat or Blanka doesn’t make the cut? He’ll be heart broken.

On one hand I wouldn’t miss them much, especially after appearing in SF3 and SF4, but on the other hand - they watered these characters down so fucking much that SF5 would be their next greatest opportunity to really shine. I mean, shit, just look at what pro Makoto players can do if you aren’t caucious and they have full meter, none of that stuff is possible in SF4.

Don’t get me wrong though, it would be really cool to see these characters again since they were given so much publicity via SF4 (since many never even played SF3 at all), but not as a part of the initial roster. But as DLC down the line? Hell yeah!

No, no, no, no and no. This would be the third shoto character in the game. Ryu and Ken is enough already. Either you take away hadoken, shouoken and shippukyaku from her, or don’t include her in the roster at all. And she doesn’t have anything other than copycats of Ryu’s special moves. She’s a bland schoolgirl fetish character that sells only because of her red panties shining from under the skirt from time to time. Feel free to disagree with me.

Maybe instead of V-Skill being a run, her V-Trigger could allow her to dash cancel off all of her normals; backdash or forward dash. Maybe forward could be a run instead

He’s not talking about whether he wants her in or not, but that the chances of her being in are higher objectively because of the reasons he stated.

Mmmmmm… can’t wait. And since SF5 is redesigning a lot of characters, she should look a lot older too, so yeah. MmmMmmMmMM!

Just because sakura has a fireball, a dp that isn’t even a real one BTW and tatsu doesn’t mean she is gonna play the same a Ryu or Ken. She is popular because of her rush down gameplay

Eh, Makoto is my favorite SF3 char but I’d totally be ok with her not being in SF5. Really the chars I want to return from SF4 are Juri, Cody, Guy and Rose. Rose is entirely based on storyline reasons, mostly the same is true for Guy returning. I’d only want Guy to return if they flesh out his Bison storyline. Otherwise I’m kind of OK with him being left out now that Ken has a run.

Rest of the base cast I want to be chars not appearing in SF4. I’d hope some more SF4 chars come over later on of course.

I would love to see Abel return and can the EX series get some love!!! Pullum or Sharon would be a nice addition.

EX Series will never happen. ~3~ wish people would stop asking for it. I think people ask for it because they can’t get it. I bet most people haven’t even played the EX Series that ask.

Arika owns the rights to the EX characters. Imagine it more like SFEX is a totally different franchise that features Street Fighter cameos. Capcom would need to license the rights to the EX characters which seems rather silly to do when most of them weren’t terribly popular and Capcom is perfectly capable of creating their own characters instead.

Not sure why anyone would ask for characters they never played, but you would know better than me if that happens (pretty new to the forums)

I didn’t know that licensing stuff either, good to know, thanks for the info.

I didn’t say I know for sure, I just am betting on it being the case. They see these characters from SF history on like wikis and such and are like “O their designs / character stories are cool! Everyone else talks about wanting them back too. I’d also love for this guy to come back”

You see the requests come up a lot and I doubt that the EX Series was THAT popular. I’m not saying everyone does it. I just bet it’s true for most people. It comes up here pretty often, on eventhubs comments CONSTANTLY and pretty consistently on youtube comments. You’re likely to see at least 1 time having it come up on any gaming site that posts an article about SF5 (or whenever there was discussion about an SF4 update)

You don’t need to have played the EX games to know that Skullo deserves to be in every Capcom game going forward.
