SFV Lounge: Season 4 is almost upon us, hide your mains

Makoto is all I really want, aside from that Viper, Dudley and Gen.

Hakan would be cool too.

Bea_Iank · October 14, 2018, 7:12pm

I want Rose and Hakan back. Hakan might be impossible, sadly.
Rose has a good chance of being in the S4 cast.

Zx-tole · October 14, 2018, 7:28pm

Haggar is the character I want to see the most. Second would be Oro. Then I would like some Rival School characters.

Dime · October 14, 2018, 8:29pm

I want necro. Then life will be complete.

Not excited about characters for Season 4 since my main ting Sagat is in the game. G is also taking up some of my time.

Viper maybe… depends how good she looks in SFV.

Doctrine_Dark · October 14, 2018, 10:16pm

Just gimme Rose, Makoto, Viper and Oro. That’s all I need.

NCK_Feroce · October 14, 2018, 10:28pm

I wanna choke all niggas again, give them a good reason to run away from me.
A good reason to teach them jump isn’t the solution.
A good reason to send me hatemails full of salty tears.
I want Makoto, you can have whoever you want. Papa Capcom knows how a good boy I will be then.

Asking for any character before E.Honda shows both a lack of respect for the game, but for the FGC as a whole.

HONDA IS ORIGINAL 8 WORLD WARRIOR AND NOT IN THE GAME YET

Bea_Iank · October 14, 2018, 10:57pm

Honda is paying for his crimes against Gief in SF2:CE to Super Turbo.
Which is why he isn’t in the game.

Saitsu · October 14, 2018, 11:24pm

That explains why Gief isn’t in the game either.

Dime · October 14, 2018, 11:25pm

… lol. Crimes against gief. Well Honda did take him out back and ravage that booty on the daily.

I said ravage… lol. But ryu and gat got all up in Honda’s booty in ST and they in the game.

Volta · October 14, 2018, 11:36pm

Might as well just add him and with that another 3-7 matchup for Gief, not as if it matters at this point.

Characters like Sakura , Ryu, Sagat only really work if you’ve played other games imo. I was thinking about it last night. Pretty much all of the Sagats that are good played him before. There’s no new epic players of these characters that just spring up.

There’s a lot of stuff you need to learn about movement and situations that’s not intuitive to this game.

Honestly if you’re a new player Cammy, Akuma are perfect characters. Strong, easy, have SF5 stuff.

stronzolo · October 15, 2018, 12:39am

honestly, when I think of SFV stuff I think of M.Bison

GetTheTables · October 15, 2018, 2:14am

I want Poison and Viper back. If Poison comes back and isn’t terrible out the gate I’d drop Laura in a heartbeat for her. Viper I think is rad and would like to see her get another appearance in the franchise.

I feel like Makoto and Oro are likely for S4. No great reason, just guts. I also think it seems super likely that Honda will come back just to fill out the OG’est crew.

Random awesome bullshit pick goes to Sodom. That weeb has to come back.

AriesWarlock · October 15, 2018, 2:20am

I want someone new. And that’s why i want Vivian Nishiki. Would be cool to have someone else from Mika’s professional circle. And she seems very crazy and unorthodox (apparently, she fights with objects and tools)

kylebr · October 15, 2018, 2:41am

If Honda gets in and denies Makoto a spot then I am buying two season passes. And some costumes on top of that if they design Honda to be more like Mak than OG Honda.The sea of salty tears would be priceless.

Highlandfireball · October 15, 2018, 3:20am

M Bison is very easy to run the SF5 stuff for sure. Just that I think Cammy and Akuma might teach a new player more about general footsie stratagie for future games.

M Bison literally just presses shit, then see if it hits see if it blocks. Has iffy AA ( for a beginner) , has no walk speed etc.

Cammy is basically the new Ryu. She’s the character if your mate was brand new and you wanted to teach him FGs, she’s perfect.

Trying to teach somebody how to play footsies with Ryu or Sagat is hard. You’re kinda teaching them to play Call of Duty with a knife.

I’d rather have SFV finished and an anouncement for SF6. The game has delivered what it could and by now adding more has diminished returns. If season 4 is indeed true, then let’s hope:

No headswaps
++Neither “edgy version of already existing character in SF5” ala Evil Ryu.
++Nor “brand new character” kind of headswap ala Roxy instead of Poison*.
No cringeworthy animated characters like Falke. Rather have no characters than crap ones.
Full season of top tier characters that give Guile or Akuma a run for their money. Even G’s power level is unacceptable.

Only acceptable one is Gen’s disciple and only because the original one is canonically dead. That double stance gameplay deserves another run given how Zeku ended sucking.
