I tend to agree with the sentiment of people saying this looks like SFIV most likely want this game to fall flat and fail in all aspects.
I mean it really makes no sense to be this salty but dumber statements have hardly been made in reference to an eye test.
I agree this looks nothing like sfiv to me at all.
I imagined that since Capcom is the bigger company I thought they would’ve outdone ArcSys in making 3D sprites. Especially since they started it with UMvC3.
But can’t wait to see some more characters though. Hopefully they don’t make Vega look like a bodybuilder again. He should be built, but not that built, Capcom.
null
Its a different art style completely I prefer it looks different than just an arc system rip off.
I’m hearing some people say this isn’t coming till 2018 god I hopened that’s not the case -_- I’ll be 32 by then lol

Yes, those ones and little else.
Yet you didn’t mention any of them and filled out the entire thing with characters from USF4 when there were 6 characters (1/4th of what you listed) that are regularly requested. Oro and Sodom come up occasionally as well but are far less common than those 6. Juli is fairly popular in japan, as is Ingrid. Maki is decently popular for a character that has only been in CvS2 and the portable version of Alpha 3 (almost ties C. Viper in the popularity poll)
Haggar is a huge favorite in the US and Europe. Regardless if you dislike the final fight cast they are popular.
That is at least 12 characters not featured in USF4 that are among fan favorites you could have at least chosen 4-5 of them instead of some of the USF4 chars.
My point was that you selected nothing but USF4 characters except for the 4 slots you left open for new characters and that kind of sucks. It’s your wish list, I just think having USF4 + 4 new chars would be kind of lame personally. Even if a favorite of mine was cut I’d like to see a couple more returning characters from older titles or a few more new characters. I think that 1/4th - 1/3rd of the cast being entirely new OR returning old chars not from USF4 would be a good mix
I don’t care. I’d still much rather have the mains in first.
What’s main about Dan, Claw, and Hakan? Sagat is far more of an important character from the Shadoloo bosses than Claw both in terms of fan favorite and importance to the story as well as rounding out the playstyles with a zoner (you only had Guile for pure zoning characters. Juri/Gouken are more hybrid zoners.)
Hakan is an interesting character for sure but hardly important to the series, though I’d certainly prefer him over any of the other SF4 newcomers besides the ones you listed. Also I’m not sure if his goofy style would fit in SFV’s serious design, especially without focus attacks which he was designed entirely around.
Dan is certainly a fan favorite and a recurring character but Guy and Rose provide more to the story and more gameplay variety than Dan does, and Guy is almost as much of a staple character as Dan. Plus this game is looking to be taking SF in a more serious direction while Dan is a joke character by design.
You could replace Guile with Charlie and make a number of people happy for one easy switch.
I wouldn’t mind a mostly new cast if they were good character designs. Capcom hit the mark perfectly with the Alpha series. It had a mix of returning and new chars.
Also, if Sakura is in, giving her a new older look/outfit would be dope too imo. SF4 already re-established the fan-base so with SF5 they should be able to take more chances.
If it does come to arcades, it’ll most likely come out on Namco’s System 478 board which is PS4 based.
Dan is the iconic joke character of the Alpha series. Claw I just picked because he’s more unique from a design standpoint than Boxer or Sagat. And Hakan is also very unique, I’d rather have him in the game than Rufus or Viper.
If this is coming to arcades it’s coming after the console release. Sony isn’t paying for an arcade port.
Anyone else hoping for a CVS2 style grooves system? Something for playstyle variety without needing to have 500 characters.
I really like Abel’s character design. It’s the most “Street Fighter” of all the SF4 characters in my opinion. His mixup heavy gameplay though I feel needs to get slightly re-evaluated.
In Omega mode they’re removing his COD (likely giving him the attacks/followups as individual unique normals), depending on how well that works out that could stick with him in 5.
Well he still gets a ton of his mixups off of TT + rolls
I have to step back & reserve judgement on the idea that it looks too much like SF4 or last-gen. Alot of ppl said Killer Instinct looks like SF4 graphically, but they’re basing this off compressed Youtube videos. But when you finally play the game in person, you realize how off-base you were.
SFV will be playable at Capcom Cup on saturday supposedly. I’ll give my views on it if I get a chance to mess around with it, the lines will probably be bonkers.
As long as they keep Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Honda, Dhalsim, Zangief, Akuma, Blanka, Dan, Dictator, Claw, Boxer, Guile, Sagat, Sakura and GUY, I’m ok with new characters LoL.
I’m really going to be disappointed but I don’t know, maybe CAPCOM thinks they should just start a new characters cycle and let the oldies in the past (and maybe use them in a SF6 version to get everybody hyped again)…
SF5 will probably be early 2016 if I had to guess. The fact that there is no arcade release means alot of things for this game.
One that it might be more westernized, two the US will have a bigger advantage competitively now, three it can be released quicker or they don’t have to sit on time so the cab can have exclusivity.
Supposedly it’s not a playable build, but more of a live demo. I’m guessing it’s going to be similar to the 2010 SFxT Comic-Con reveal.
