Can’t lie, 5 new characters kind of made me get my hopes up for SFV.
Probably shouldn’t, because I don’t care for most of the usual suspects (Fei, Viper, Makoto, Rolento, Elena).
Maybe Rose, but I don’t see her keeping her drills.
If they redesign Sodom well (cuz he’s not keeping his rekkas in SFV) I might be back in the game though.
Also
Watching this (and a lot of 3s lately) it’s kinda wild to me that a lot of high level players value the damage and reset more than a knockdown. I’m thinking of Chun’s super follow up, most high level players I see usually go for the j.hp, j.hp follow-up that doesn’t have any knockdown as opposed to down j.hp that’ll give you the oki.
There’s a mak player now that has the meter to knock down off of a karakusa with EX hayate and still have a super on deck, but doesn’t… I don’t get it.
I figured out how to cut and paste them. These are AE era so no V-Skill 2. As usual, I went way over board with lore too.

Reasons to be in SFV:
After successfully infiltrating and undermining S.I.N, Viper’s superiors set their sites on Shadaloo losing an operative, Smalt Raven, in the process. Before a counter strategy could be divised, an alliance of the US Military, Interpol, and the Kanzuki Zaibatsu were able to take down Shadaloo. However, Viper was able to ascertain that another organization puppeted the strings that led to Shadaloo’s fall. Through intel gained from her informant, Magenta Spider, Viper discovers there are two factions within this organization. She hopes to bring down this “Secret Society” from the inside by sowing discord amongst the two rival factions.

Side Notes:
Wow that’s really neat and super thorough. You do this a lot?
I have a whole thread full of them. I started adding more detail as I went along. My later concepts have some frame data for attacks, damage/stun values, and advantage/disadvantage on hit/block. I don’t them as often as I used to. I’ve touched on most existing characters at this point and I put most of my free time into the book I just finished writing.
What we need is Hakan’s wife
Oh shit you finished your book? Good shit bro can’t wait to see you on the NYT best sellers
I don’t know about all that. Waiting for outside opinions before thinking about publishing it. Thanks for the encouragement though. 
Lol what? don’t do that.
Read it one more time, edit as you see fit and send it in. There only thing outside of opinion can do is discourage you from sending it in to publishers.
There’s no guarantee that the book you’d have after feedback would be better than the one you have now, so might as well get started with mailing things to them.
Already read through and edited it. I hate continuity issues. So those, spelling, and grammar we my focus. My word count jumped by 4000 after all that. Editing took me far longer than I thought. Gave me a new appreciation for editors BTW. My best friend, the one that told me to go for it, is the only one with a full copy. People seemed okay with the excerpt I released a little over a year ago. I’m not changing the story. Just want to see if what I want to convey shines through. If the person that knows me best is lost, it means I have narrative issues that I hadn’t perceived.
You know that you are going get the same tist arguments despite the different subject matter right. 
Yeah, but when the subject is this good, I don’t mind. 
Bruh, Honda uses hit butt for utility, deserves on the list
Him and Mika S+ tier cause they put the booty to work
Chun at the bottom of this tier list is really bothering me. She’s not Kolin but lower then Sak and the barely legals Menat and Ibuki?
Pretty sure Honda competes in the husbando, not waifu, league.
@vhozite Yeah I agree.
Also Cammy isn’t S tier. She’s a tier too high due to reputation. Dammit Volt. Got me talking about digital booty. I see you have played your trap card.
I mean, look at the pic. Can you argue with that? 
I personally believe Lucia is way too low.
The best asses in FGs belong to Potemkin and Gigas. True fact.
Though Karin is definitely the best in SFV.
