SFV Character Request/Anticipation Thread

Yeah all newer tier lists Chun is better than Yun in 3S

A lot of people hate fighting her in SF4. https://twitter.com/ultradavid/status/619414216009625600

I’d be perfectly fine if everybody between Chun and Ryu in Kuroda’s tier list were included in 5.

All time low? YEAH I WENT THERE! :lol:

I’m the asshole who would be fine with the whole 3s roster to be in SFV. If all of SFII made it into SFIV, I’m cool with all of SFIII in SFV.

Realistically, I don’t think they should nor would do this. That is fine by me; but, I’m also fine with all of SFIII in SFV, haha.

I’m just saying if a decision were made to include a good amount of characters from 3, at least make it all the good characters from 3. Of course the low tiers could be rebalanced to make them better, and their stories could be elaborated upon (except for maybe Remy since he’s just a little emo kid in bellbottoms). And I think an SF5 redesigned Yun or Yang etc would be more interesting than an SF5 Remy, Q, Alex, or Tweleve (as much as I love low tier).

Yeah I had that impression even though I only play and follow 4 casually. And a fair amount of people I know who are super into 3s dislike fighting vs her. Not sure what people feel in SFxT but I have my suspicions already!

Can we just fking get Eagle already? Goddamn.

Actually, I’m curious as to who Remy’s dad is. Kinda sucks that Remy’s hot sister is dead and trapped in ice, but that’s how the cookie crumbles. So I want to know if his dad really is a deadbeat asshole that’s world warrior status and hella strong or not. Instead of Remy in the game, they can just put Remy’s dad or something.

Thinking about it, I think I’d be cool with one of the twins but I think their appearance was really saturated with the SFIV series. So I can picture them not returning due to how prevalent they are on the USFIV tournament circuit. A re-imagining would be dope, but then again they can pull out their uncle Lee from SFI that had the original lunge punch. It’d be cool to have some “refined” and “masterful” version of the twins’ move sets embodied by Lee.

SFxT people didn’t really care about her at any point. They changed a lot about her in SF4. Her normals are a lot faster and she has more combos, also healing is obnoxious.

Still SF5 is some sort of compromise between SF3 and SF4, treading into new territory not seen in the SF games. Yun would be way more fair in SF5 than he was in 3 or 4. Like if he didn’t have genei-jin and instead had 3 stocks of EX, he could use those in the style of T Hawk in SF4 where you could string EX specials together.

But at the simple fact that he wouldn’t be able to runaway and build meter from whiffing strong, and he wouldn’t have as much opportunity for set play would make him a more interesting version of the character who still plays familiar and could still be strong given what all his tools are. Like not even target combos had a place in Yun’s arsenal because there were so many other buttons you could press for better damage. I’d like a reversion to that sort of simplicity.

I really liked Yun in CVS2. His cr.HP was an actually legit anti-air, his pokes were generally good, he couldn’t abuse dive kick since it wasn’t as good, especially on fat crouching characters. His strength was his footsies (and I guess RC command throw, RC up kick, RC palm, RC lunge punch if you played him in C/A/N Grooves). The only thing that made him bad was overall meterless damage output and low health, but he had the fundamental tools to win. He was the most fun Yun to play for me.

The third name there says Ken not Makoto

As long as they add Karin’s theme along with her I’ll be happy

surely guile has to be in this game from a story standpoint, doesn’t he? even if he doesn’t make the playable roster i feel like it would just seem a bit weird to leave him out what with the whole bison/charlie thing going on. we’ve already seen that ken/ryu are more different than they’ve ever been and we know that charlie is no longer a charge character, so is that a hint to guile being in? yes i did main him in sf4 but it’s not about that for me. if he’s not in i’ve decided i’m maining bison or whoever the best charge character is lol.

Elena is extremely annoying to fight in sfxt lol… She is an amazing point character. Plus her mallet smashes range from +3 to +5 on block.

The thing is, it seems like Capcom is going to do story mode differently than what they had did in SFxT and SFIV series. Matt Dahlgren said they are doing something different, but will announce what it is at a different date (I guess due to marketing schedules.)

So we can have characters that appear in story mode that serve important roles without being actually playable in the cast. So I can imagine Guile being non-playable in SFV while being a key figure to the story. It’s kind of like how Blazblue and Guilty Gear have story modes in which there are super important characters that are pivotal in the plot but aren’t playable yet or won’t be playable.

In due time we’ll see where they go with story mode and character importance.

I can see that
So they will just have to do the characters models/voices/cutscene animations, and they can leave the moveset/balancing big work to later when they introduce them as DLC update

Each wave of dlc characters can be treat as a new chapter of the story

Yeah but she almost never comes up in any tournaments I’ve seen. Elena in SF4 has had ups and downs and still shows up currently. Many players have stated she is an extremely good counter pick vs specific characters.

They didn’t have Fei Long in the movie “Street Fighter”. Maybe because in this movie Ryu kinda fought like Bruce Lee.
Captain Sawada was the replacement for Fei Long and is a playable character in the game Street Fighter - The Movie.
