I can envision Poison having a lot of command normals involving her whip. It’d be easier for Capcom to take her whip normals in USFIV, tweak them and give them better properties, and turning those into useful and situational command normals e.g. Her far st. MP:
This can easily be an anti-air button (B+MP or whatever). Poison fills that void of strong zoning character with good footsies while also having solid rushdown and tricky movement.
Honestly I don’t think she will be in S3,sadly. Considering Sakura locked in the staff girl coming from Ed team could be a strong option if Capcom want to stay with the 4 guys+ 2 girls format per season. Makoto, Rose and Viper, who of those can’t make at least for Season 4?
Doubt that’s the case. As much material suggests otherwise though others suggest the opposite and i find it interesting they cast an actual transgender actress to do her part in SFV,
I’m not saying Necro wouldn’t fit, I’m saying he’d need to be reworked. To be honest, I think it would be cool to have him in SFV but I’d want to have him come in at later date so more character styles get introduced.
For the rework explanation, rather than do slight frame data and hit/hurtbox changes to fit Necro in, he’d have to have some sort of makeover so the tools and abilities he has can fit in the SFV engine. Look at how out of place T. Hawk was in SFIV when playing against someone like Ibuki or Dudley. Hawk was obviously better in SFII but instead of trying to mix the formula up, Capcom sort of crtl+v’d him into SFIV. Alex is in the same predicament where he just falls apart when playing against the high tiers.
Females make them more money in the long run. I might be too hopeful though, considering that’s almost a lock that 2 OG SF characters are joining (SF Arcade has 4 fights, and we know Arcade Mode avoids Mirror Matches like the plague.)
I’m guessing that after the glorious return of the king, we’re getting Eagle or Gen (Just to see him die for good, perhaps.)
As interesting as Staff Girl would be, especially in a game that doesn’t really has a lot of footsie characters, I’m not sure if she’ll get in this Season.
Sakura is all but confirmed too.
So basically, we’re looking at: Sagat, Sakura, Eagle/Gen, +3 Characters. I don’t see why Makoto can’t be one of those.
