SFV Character Request/Anticipation Thread

[Eternal]

Anyways, more on topic, I think that after the new character it’ll be Alex/Urien.

Well, the next stage announced is Brazil and I think it’s gonna be on the beta. Probably a Brazilian character like Blanka or Sean is next. Or they could announce Alex and a New York stage (that can be used for Ken too), but I’m sure a Brazilian character is coming soon.

Seeing that an Egypt stage is teased too in Nash’s artwork, then yeah, Alex is a possibility.

Brazil character could be the new char.

[Heat_Sleep]

It’s odd how there is a bunch of hype built up for the Brazil character reveal yet they’ve already revealed Ken and might drop something during Evo.

[Citrus_monkey]

I want to see hakan be revealed next so that the whole world will collectively loose its shit.

[Magegg]

If we go by the videos, they immediately shown Bison and Charlie after they teased them in the previous videos. So, the dreadlocks guy would be the option here.

Probably him and Sean or Blanka, since Ono says next appearance of the game will be at the Brazil Game Show or something like that. They could be both.

[HeavensCloud]

Who the hell is Captain Sawada?

[PVL_93_RU]

Nice thing is, the next char reveal should be a whole new character. This will definitively decide if any of the leaked lists are correct as the two currently floating around both provide specific names to the new characters.

It’s gotta be a new character either way, we’ve already got 7 classic ones, about time Capcom spices things up with a newbie

[blufang]

You and me both she should never been in a Street Fighter game. Darkstalkers? Sure. She fits perfectly. Street Fighter? Any canon appearance in Street Fighter is essentially taking a dump on what storyline we do have. Bison goes from badass to wimpy guy that stole his powers from a Loli. Don’t do it Capcom.

Darkstalkers doesn’t want Ingrid and she doesn’t fit at all either. Don’t want twelve or any other street fighter reject either. Creatures of myth and legend and/or classic movie monsters are what Darkstalkers design is about. Not dumb cyborg lab experiments or a twirly loli.

[PVL_93_RU]

The Brazilian character will only be announced in October at Brazil Game Show. Until then - the only thing they could show us related to that is a teaser at the end of a character trailer that they might show at TGS in September

Which leads me to believe that after they officially announce the newbie teased in Ken’s trailer - that new trailer will feature the tease for Alex/Urien

Where will they go from there is a mystery though

Capcom should sell ingrid to ArcSys lol

Lillith is a twirly loli, more or less. Same for Buletta and she’s not a “creature of myth”.

Ingrid is basically a goddess, and gods are part of myths. So, she kind of fits.

[melflomil]

I think these characters have a very strong chance in getting in
Sakura
Rose
Akuma
Guile
Zangief
Dhalsim
Karin
Alex
Urien.

I don’t like the last three but would be in denial if I didn’t acknowledge them.

Thank you

Only guest DS deserve are from DMC universe,RedEarth/Warzard universe and maybe Asura

Akuma/Oni can be decent too

[Rioting_Soul]

After Ken, do you think there are more “granted” characters to be revealed?

Guile. Gameplay and storywise. For gameplay, Capcom went out of their way to make Nash play nothing like Guile. Considering how Ken was changed, it makes sense that Nash’s changes were to “make room” for Guile. For story, I think it would be very odd if Nash finally shows up but Guile doesn’t care. You know Chun Li has Guile’s cell number and would have called him the moment she saw Frankenstein’s monster throw a Sonic Boom.

[Magegg]

OK. Judging by the “stage theory” (2 characters per stage) and the 16-characters roster rumor, we have this:

STAGES

Confirmed:

1. Chinese Street
2. London Subway
3. Hidden Waterfalls
4. Brazil Street
   **
   Rumored:
   **5. Egypt Temple (Nash artwork)
5. “Purple Moon” Stage (M. Bison artwork)
6. Japan Temple (Ryu artwork)
7. American Street (Ken Artwork)

PREDICTIONS

CHINESE STAGE: Chun-Li / NEW Character

LONDON SUBWAY: Birdie / Cammy

**HIDDEN WATERFALLS: **NEW Character / Elena

BRAZIL STREET: Blanka / Sean

EGYPT TEMPLE: Nash / Urien

“PURPLE MOON” STAGE: M. Bison / Akuma

JAPAN TEMPLE: Ryu / Ibuki, Sakura or NEW Character

AMERICAN STREET: Ken / Karin or Alex

[Megasizer]

So we got Ken, Blanka & Dudley coming or as I like to call them the essential unessentials. Now where is Hibiki son?

Can’t finalize the challenge mode without him so he’s gonna be in the game regardless but hopefully playable.

PREDICTIONS

**HIDDEN WATERFALLS: **NEW Character / Elena

BRAZIL STREET: Blanka / Sean

EGYPT TEMPLE: Nash / Urien

“PURPLE MOON” STAGE: M. Bison / Akuma

JAPAN TEMPLE: Ryu / Ibuki, Sakura or NEW Character

AMERICAN STREET: Ken / Karin or Alex

What does Elena have to do with New Zealand, Akuma have to do with the moon, and Karin have to do with the US? Akuma and Karin would fit better with Ryu in Japan although I do remember Karin having some kind of story point for Ken in SFA3 so that kind of fits. I honestly hope Elena isn’t in the game anyway, they’ve never found a way to make her any good outside of maybe SFxT (never touched the game) and she’s near broken with her crouching hitbox in USF4.

Lillith is a twirly loli, more or less. Same for Buletta and she’s not a “creature of myth”.

Lilith is a succubus. Buletta is based on red riding hood. You were trolling the darkstalkers thread for a long time, I appreciate the persistence bringing it into the SF thread.

[Magegg]

What does Elena have to do with New Zealand

I’m trying to stretch the thing here a little, they haven’t said the Waterfalls are a New Zealand stage, but “directly inspired by New Zealand”.

I don’t think they add two New Zealand “nature warriors”, and Elena is the only character I think could fit in a natural stage, so I’d give it to her.

Akuma have to do with the moon

Same thing Bison has to do: NOTHING.

But his stage has been related to the moon many times, his powers are the same purple color and it’d be most likely the “default” stage for evil characters.

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/streetfighter/images/9/90/KouryuStreetRedMoon.png/revision/latest?cb=20110215125426

Juri could fit there too, but I’d say Akuma has the upper hand in making the cut.

and Karin have to do with the US?

Karin has shared US stages with Ken before, IIRC.

Akuma and Karin would fit better with Ryu in Japan

That’s right. I don’t see Karin fighting in a dusty traditional dojo when she’s pretty much the “rich girl” and a more modern fighter. Akuma sharing Ryu’s stage?

Could be, but I think Japanese chicks like Sakura, Makoto or Ibuki would fit better there, while they can put Akuma in a more “dreadful” stage like the purple moon stage.

I honestly hope Elena isn’t in the game anyway, they’ve never found a way to make her any good outside of maybe SFxT (never touched the game) and she’s near broken with her crouching hitbox in USF4.

I think she’s a great character, but I concur she’s not that good and also if we have a “Samoan native” for the Waterfalls stage, two tribal fighters would be redundant.

It’s only I can’t think of anyone else that could fit in that stage. Maybe Oro? But I have no idea what would Oro be doing on New Zealand.

Or maybe the theory is not right and some characters have an individual stage instead of sharing it with another fighter.

If we go by the videos, they immediately shown Bison and Charlie after they teased them in the previous videos. So, the dreadlocks guy would be the option here.

Probably him and Sean or Blanka, since Ono says next appearance of the game will be at the Brazil Game Show or something like that. They could be both.

We’re not expecting a character reveal at EVO?

[Lemres]

She’s been in one SF game… How she gonna share a stage with Ken before? lmao
