There are some things that stay consistent in every game, but a lot does change from SF to SF. SFV aint no different. You trying to take a jab at me just cause I have a Viper avatar is beyond immature (PS: I didnt play her…)
When I say " not playing sf" characters that come to mind are Viper, El fuerte, hakan and Seth those characters can kinda ignore traditional ways of playing street fighter and just do their own thing.
And also FUCK EVIL RYU! If Capcom puts that dude in that’s just a serious cop out, just fix Ryu instead of putting in another shoto that’ll further make him irrelevant

You going to actually try to make an argument to refute what i said about hawk in ST or you gone keep moving them goalposts?
Alex took out a handful of top players in alleged losing match ups at Evo this year by the way.
So tell you what. You keep believing tier lists are gospel. I’ll just keep watching them change over time and seeing real life consistently go against them.
And these are just the most obvious examples im giving you. Thats without me talking about things like sf4 vanilla sagat starting off top tier bar none and then falling because he got pooped on by akuma and seth among others. Vanilla Seth actually being broken. Vanilla Gen and Cammy. Tokido and Akuma in sfv after people thought Akuma was weak on release.
Tier lists change all the time early in a games life. Like i said its a snapshot of opinions.

Nah, as much as I dislike a few of the SFV additions, none would be as much of a wasted slot as E. Ryu
I don’t like E.Ryu either, but there’s a lot of people who really loves him aka easy money for Capcom. A simple solution would have been giving plain Ryu an Evil version VT and call it a day, but they decided to something else. Daigo’s voice is definitely louder than ours, especially for all the sheeps ready to follow him. I have a bad feeling.

It’s even because Capcom can’t give dignity to characters like Fang or Ryu the reason why people asking for him.
The only way Evil Ryu should be allowed in is if Daigo wins CPT and makes an Evil Ryu DLC costume as his reward. They can throw in new visual effects just for good measure.
I can think of 20-30 more deserving characters of a slot than Evil Ryu, and none of them are shotos.

Sadly more deserving doesn’t necessarily translate into more sales.

Valve have these “Arcana costumes” for their DotA heroes. They come with extensive customizations such as new particle effects, animations, icons, sounds, etc. They sell like fucking hot cakes when they are made for popular characters.
Give Ryu an “Evil Ryu” arcana that changes everything except his gameplay, time it with some nice and warranted buffs in S4, and everyone will be happy. Capcom can literally get away with murder here as they can cash in on Evil Ryu with a minimum amount of resources invested.
Ryu has been the most popular character online since forever. I’m shocked they haven’t done this already lol.

Not playing SF in V translates the plethora of fast options that bypass the midrange I think.
Almost every character has a fast dash, jab - dash mixed up with jab - CC button is a prevalent option you see a lot in all levels of play. When we look at new characters a lot of pros check the dash frame data to determine how strong their ability to disrespect midrange engagements with it as one of the first things.
When every character is playing like a Makoto/Fuerte I think that’s what translates to “not playing SF”

Though I mostly agree with you I gotta tell you the tier list in this game matters much more, in other sf games the low tiers had to make better reads/decisions and had a universal game mechanic to help them (focus attack, parry) even the fight some what, we’ve seen kuroda destroy top tiers with parry helping him. But in SFV that isn’t the case, if you’re low tier you will be low tier most of the characters dont have a decent v-skill or vtrigger to fight back the top tiers in this game and to make matters worse most of the low-mid tier characters also have crappy buttons compare to the top tier.
Could see this working honestly, new intro animation, new one-handed CA animation, redone voice lines (not just modulation, newly recorded eviler lines), new victory quotes, black CA KO splash, bloody shoryuken effects, new V-Trigger activation animations etc.
You could do tweaked, more violent animations for everything so long as the frame data and hitboxes stayed the same. They could charge it at half the cost of a regular character with only 20% of the overall work.

Proof that evil ryu is coming. Ryu randomly lost his cr.mk in the beta, so a certain clone could use it lol
If they add Evil Ryu and don’t add Gouken i will be seriously salty.
