I’m just saying, with SF1, Alpha, SF3, and the newbies from SF4 around, there are other characters that should have time to shine. Zangief, Blanka, and Dhalsim have been in like 9-10 SF games including the EX games. The others I listed are characters that have been in 3-6 SF games (not counting Fuerte & Hakan), where others like C. Viper, Rufus, Birdie, Oro, Necro haven’t been seen in years, or still have some life to them because they’re “newer.” Even if NO SF4 characters make it, it’s time to let those characters we haven’t seen or used in over a decade, and new additions come to the forefront and shine a bit.

Honestly I haven’t seen Guy in the spotlight ever since A-Guy. 4 and xTekken dont cut it , he just feels like hes there because hes Cody’s sidekick or something.

Pretty good in SF4, you can see him shine when Marq Teddy uses him. A3 Guy was probably the best since there was a guard bar system in place. A2 Guy wasn’t bad by default, but no guard bar and strong ACs hurt him.

I would like to see Karin in SFV. Her Rekka were interesting since you had 5(?) enders.

I don’t know about the whole “retire the world warriors” thing. I think the SFV system could have potential for a few of them.
-Mecha/Cyborg Gief in a main game
-Blanka with a “shocking” V-Trigger that grants counter hits
-Sagat’s Angry Scar as a V-Trigger
-Dhalsim with a Meditation/Nirvana mode that slows the opponent (MvC3 Amaterasu)
-Claw gets his items back from anywhere on the stage, cannot be disarmed for the duration.

We all know there is one reason and one reason only why Sagat should be in this game, and that is the Black and Orange paint Tiger V-Trigger with an angry scar animation. I also think he’d fit very well with the atmosphere of the game, focus on his unique points, make more use of his giant stature, have his playstyle be more dynamic, switching between zoning and some rushdown (The entire point of the V-trigger mechanic seems to allow us to do this, dynamicaly switch between playstyles during the course of a single match); use Tiger Raid again, etc.

Just have v-trigger Sagat turn into Vanilla Sagat. Literally.

He can still be Jimmy, in the privacy of his home with his Mama or in Dan’s dojo. But we don’t need to see this, we should see Heath Ledger’s Blanka instead.

Maybe a completely feral blanka that has completely lost his humanity? That would be pretty cool. Perhaps his mom was killed by someone, and he completely lost it. You know the original SF2 version was more terrifying than the later versions, he would bite your head with blood spraying and the only softness you saw is in his ending. After that he became a joke, like in Alpha where he has chucking fruits at the opponent as one of his supers.

I don’t think dark and gritty equals better, I personally was never a fan of randomly injecting dark elements into a character just to make him “new.” If you’re going in a bold new angle, work for it, build it, don’t just kill off his mom. Blanka’s a jolly guy with a badass job, expand on that. I like Daemos’ idea of him having a private persona and public.

A while back, I thought it would be interesting if, now that he’s attained the love and respect of his mama, he can be free to explore things, so he could join the Slammasters, or a rival company and play up the wild badass, but through win quotes or something, there could still be a hint of him being a nice guy. For example, for a win quote, there could be a little aside saying “Sorry Dan, got a little carried away. Nothing personal, just doing it for the fans!”

Also, him being completely feral, in my opinion would be boring and rob him of his personality. Past SF clones have had a mindless brute or beast, no need to make Blanaka that. Take my above idea about the in battle persona, but instead of his battle persona being a mindless beast, make him a hardened, cunning, agile beastly badass. More of his classic “Seeing you in action is a joke!” than mindless snarling.

Okay, once again, I hate the whole “We have to go gritty”. **The ENTIRE POINT of Blanka is that he’s a feral beast…that’s actually a generally naive, good guy. ** It’s the entire point from his creation. To take this away from him shows why people liked the Power/Rangers film and took it at face value without ever realizing it was a parody. The character design of Blanka from this standpoint is actually good. What people HATE about Blanka, is his pain in the ass gameplay. A character change wouldn’t make people hate Blanka any less because he’s still going to be a pain in the ass. To take away his humanity would be to take away the only redeeming thing about Blanka, his actual character design. He was one of the only WWs to not be a complete stereotype and yet what people want…is for him to be closer to one and yet in the same breath mention that they hate stereotypes.

You…I like you. You get it dude.

Claw losing his items is such a minor aspect of his game. You can go dozens of matches without it ever happening in pretty much every game he’s been in.

Anyways the whole “retire the world warriors” thing is probably because they are such staples in every game it’s nice to give others a chance to shine. SF3 is one of the few games that didn’t feature most, if not all, of the WW + bosses cast by the final version of the game.

Of course this is mostly because of crossover games though rather than just pure SF games, but there haven’t been that many core SF games in terms of numbered entries.

I’m just saying, with SF1, Alpha, SF3, and the newbies from SF4 around, there are other characters that should have time to shine. Zangief, Blanka, and Dhalsim have been in like 9-10 SF games including the EX games.

Honestly I haven’t seen Guy in the spotlight ever since A-Guy. 4 and xTekken dont cut it , he just feels like hes there because hes Cody’s sidekick or something.

Every version of SF4 Guy has been usually considered higher tier than Cody. Honestly IMO Guy’s own tools in xT are probably better than Codys but Cody takes way better advantage of the system mechanics, specifically boost and tag.

Guy was also in Capcom Fighting Evolution (not that it really matters). Guy has much stronger ties to the SF storyline thanks to the alpha series. Cody’s storyline in SF4 is pretty throwaway while Guy’s actually affected other characters including Bison. Guy even appeared in the SFZero manga as well. Generally speaking it’s probably the other way around, Cody is included because of Guy.

That said, popularity poll and the japan only poll about interest in toys/models/ect showed more interest in Cody than Guy so it could shift in the future. Cody’s storyline could be expanded, a lot of people seem to want a rivalry between him and Juri, which makes sense since Cody only really has interest in fights where the opponent is trying to kill him.

[Pertho]

I like my classic WW too , but I feel their gameplay is still stuck in the past.

How about we retire all the characters whose game play relies entirely on mix ups? Retire all the motherfuckers that demand stupid shit to have “footsies”.

Except Abel, Abel is cool.

You’re all losing your minds in here without news I see.

This is the best we can do while waiting till E3 and CEO, lel

[yung_balrog]

sf4 was the nostalgia throwback game for all the 90s kids… capcom will go a new direction for sf5, that is guaranteed

we might not even see ken… and i would happy about it… waste of characer slot imo

so the sf5 cast will be “forgotten” ppl returning (charlie, alex, urien guaranteed) along with some new shit… expect none of the sf2 cast to come back besides cammy (cuz some horny jap at capcom is obsessed with her british ass… smh)

as for alpha, who the fk are they gonna add besides karin? sodom or birdie? lmao

[Cestus]

Not going to happen but i will like Sagat to be in and lose some shotoness in favour of Muay Thai stuff

Like remove his Tiger uppercut and give him some elbow/knee cool shit

High-low fireballs are too unique of him to be removed

[Cestus]

Anyway these are the possible characters we have’nt seen in a while

[Maxman]

Lets see

Karin just destroys others in terms of popularity
Alex comes in 2nd
Followed by Urien and Q

Hey Maki would be breddy cool

[d3v]

Anyway these are the possible characters we have’nt seen in a while

Grouping is wrong, some of those characters are SF1 characters. Also might as well separate the Final Fight ones.

Also, speaking of Final Fight, wouldn’t mind if we lost 'Gief in favor of the mayor.

[Intuitive2011]

How could you not want Necro in this game? Easily one of the coolest looking characters in the game. And his moveset was very interesting to see in SF3.

[Cestus]

If we want consider FF too, we may add also (but i don’t see them unique/interessing enough to get a slot)

Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure he’s in. The more the timeline get closer to the SF3 events the more a character like him becomes a must to see.

Honestly I don’t get it why Capcom needs to resurrect some from SF1. They looking really too old for a 2K15 fighting game imo.

I’m still worrying about the engine though. Who cares if character X is in if then he gonna be mid/low tier because the game engine don’t help him that much? Enough of sorry ass version of previous great characters.

2 more weeks until the next reveal! Can’t wait.
