SFV Character Request/Anticipation Thread

[blufang]

Thank you

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

Akuma/Oni can be decent too

Yeah full demon Oni could fit, Warzard/Asura and DMC universe characters would be cool as well. Ingrid fits SF much more than darkstalkers (schoolgirl, plain looking human, wielder of psycho power).

[Cestus]

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?

I think/hope we see
-that new V face dude trailer/gameplay
-New Zealand stage
-Next char teased, Urien or ALex

[Raccon]

If R. Mika is in the game, I wonder how her commands will work since Capcom said this time we won’t get 360/720 grabs. Her freacking hard Heavenly Dynamite ultra (720!) must come back. It’s so funny.

Capcom gonna be at GDC Europe or China? If not then after Evo, the next event is like TGS in september. Which means Evo has to give us a lot of info. I hope at least 2 characters…

[Jion_Wansu]

That character in the end from the Ken trailer could be someone from SF1. Also, what about Goutetsu…

[Cestus]

I’m so sad… Seeing this game and even more after the Ken changes… I want Adon even more. Nut knowing that he is no fan favourite I have no hopes.

Your chances are low?
Dude, do you even Vulcano Rosso?

If Karin end up in SFV, probably TGS will be the event

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.

she’s at least average in every game she’s in AFAIK. she’s exactly mid tier in 3s and goes even or better vs almost the whole cast.

also IMO she’s the kind of character who if she’s super strong, she’s really annoying to fight. so midtier is a comfortable place for her.

[Daemos]

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

I’ve made some adjustments to your predictions

PREDICTIONS

CHINESE STAGE: Chun-Li / NEW Character or Gen or Yun/Yang

LONDON SUBWAY: Birdie / Cammy

**HIDDEN WATERFALLS: **NEW Character / NEW Character

BRAZIL STREET: Blanka or NEW Character / Oro

EGYPT TEMPLE: Nash / Urien

UNDERGROUND SHADALOO STAGE: M. Bison / Juri or Vega

JAPAN TEMPLE: Ryu / Karin or Sakura

AMERICAN STREET: Ken / Alex

How is she only mid tier if she goes even or better vs almost the whole cast? Also she doesn’t have to be annoying, capcom is changing the returning characters. I am opposed to so and so character type can’t be better than mid tier cause of dislike of said type. Those type of thoughts should never enter the devs minds as they design a character and then balance the cast.

Anyways I think Elena is a bit of a long shot.

[Neclord]

EVO is definitely the right place to make big announcements.

Maybe this new character + a highly requested returning character (Juri plsssss ^.^).

[blufang]

I think the new character will be revealed with an official trailer, might be in a playable build along with Ken. As for what else, who knows. I think we definitely get at least a tease for another character, however we can possibly get more than that. Like another new character trailer. E3…we got Birdie and Cammy at one time.

If Karin is announced…we’ll have a new decibel record for EVO.

[Magegg]

UNDERGROUND SHADALOO STAGE: M. Bison / Juri or Vega

Yep. My bad, there’s a big Bison statue on the background, so we’ll definitely have a Shadaloo stage:

I’d say Akuma will be probably a mid boss with a stage of his own.

[Laban]

Elena is only as annoying as Chun Li is annoying. Their strengths are typically good normals and throw ranges. In 3s, Elena was only Chun Li-lite because her good pokes didn’t convert into the same damage output as Chun-Li’s and her hit confirmable normal was cr.MP that could be parried high and low. Both had really good kara throws for range, but Elena didn’t have a good kara throw for SGGK into hit confirm into super.

In Ultra, it looks like she is really solid fundamentally and they can just buff her normals to have better hit boxes and hurtboxes. Ever since loketests, it seems like they gradually and gradually nerfed her by making her hurt boxes worse and recovery worse. Elena could be a solid character for SFV and fit the type of characters that have good ground game and focus around that. She’d be a more appropriate choice than, let’s say, Makoto despite how much I really like Makoto.

Oro I can see be associated with the New Zealand stage because he’s not a Brazilian native. He’s originally Japanese if I recall and is a traveling hermit. So he doesn’t really have a residency nor association with any particular nation or land mass. So if anything, having recluse environment in nature better reflects his kind of character and his typical stage. His previous stages have been caves, out of the way of human contact. In 3s, they shoe-horned him into the Brazil stage with Sean, but it could be looked at as if Oro is catching a boat near the docks to continue traveling the world.

Make Joe a little like him and that’d be it.

Because if you go 5-5 vs 80% of the cast, beat 10% of the cast (who are bad characters), and lose to 10% of the cast (who are good characters), you are midtier.
