Yea, that’s what was really impressive. They showed all the S3 chars at PSX, yet they were still more than able to hype people at EVO, so the silhouettes move is unnecessary and pretty shitty overall, and should be avoided in future seasons.

Origins: Nanae grew up in Hakone, Japan. A tourist town about an hour outside of Tokyo known for it’s hot springs and traditional Japanese inns. Which is fitting because she is the only daughter of innkeepers. Nanae was reserved and quiet. The “ideal” daughter. The kids in the town teased Nanae. Her family was well off and she was “perfect”. They called her Yamato Nadeshiko. A usually endearing term denoting the “ideal woman”. However, they did not mean it as a compliment. The inference was that Nanae was perfect and thought she was better than them.
When she was a little girl, a famous wrestler stayed at her family inn. She’d never seen a wrestler before. As the wrestler and her training partners practiced in backyard of the inn, Nanae peered curiously out her window. She was completely enamored with what she saw. The wrestler noticed the curiously little girl looking at them from her window. Nervous, the meek Nanae quickly hid under her bed. A few moments later, she heard a knock at her door. Nanae remained still, trying to stay as quiet as possible. She could hear the door open and foot steps coming toward her. She closed her eyes. Suddenly she heard a “whooshing” sound. As Nadeshiko opened her eyes, a large woman was standing above her, holding up her mattress and box spring with one hand. It was Yoko Harmageddon. She smiled down at the frightened Nanae, offering Nanae her hand. Nanae took her hand.
From that point on, every year Yoko would vacation at the Sato family inn. Nanae would anxiously wait her return. Each time she visited the inn Yoko would show her a new move. Nanae would catch would ever matches she could and try her best to emulate what she saw. When she was old enough, Nanae decided that she would leave with Yoko. Knowing her parents wouldn’t approve. She wrote a long letter to them. Nanae left the letter on her bed and departed with Yoko for the IJWPW.

If there has to be new characters Id prefer them not to be linked or derived from existing characters

Gen’s disciple the only exception tho since the original one is dead.
Also fuck Honda, dumpster material shouldn’t be given a free pass just cause he was in SF2. For the same age and body build, Hakan’s is the superior version in all aspects. One slot is almost guaranteed to be wasted in Evil Ryu since all shotos have been used up so having only 4 legit slots by default is quite bad.

Not all shotos.
Dan, Gouken and even his Daughter are all better deals than fucking Evil Ryu.

Had forgotten Gouken. Since he lacks a regular DP and his tatsu is vastly different I do promote him to uniquely enough character. If he fills the shoto slot then it’s awesome. Loved his heavy hitting combos.

Lol wtf is that. Would like S.Long but not in a gi and not as a shotoclone.
Something for Daemos, he’ll get it based on our previous conversations on the subject.

I was asking everyone, I wasn’t quoting you or tagging. As for me i expect silhouette to return but I like it more this season.
Sheng long topic.
I won’t mind a Sheng Long direct character but as A joke character which people believe a legend or from tall tales but in reality is just a Mr Satan and Norimaru but as a shoto spoof.
Which also serves a tribute character that reflect sheng long in how people ans fans do percieves him in EGM.
Dan is not a shoto spoof he but more rather the AOF spoof. Sakura was a shoto and yuri spoof before but she evolve latter very differently.
Sheng Long is alive and should be added to SFV

I dunno about making him a joke character. It could be interesting, but he may just come off as a more ridiculous Dan depending on execution.
I’d rather that Capcom go in the opposite direction and make a rather interesting Kung Fu fighter, not shoto in the least, not another anatsuken-bros fighter. I want to see some ominous, Chinese grand master stuff. Heck with the power of the hadou and its reputation, I could even see a counterpart of sorts. In the way Sagat made his Tiger blow to rival the shoryuken, I could see a style being made to counter another style. In the end, I’d rather total artistic freedom and make someone totally new.
Shoryuken? Instead of a rising dragon punch, how about a diagonal energy kick that hits multiple times? Infernal Dragon flails?
Hadouken? What about charging tackles? Make Shen Long the projectile?
Hurricane kick? Conflagration wave slashes that travel across the battlefield and burn the ground?
I mean these are just ideas I threw out, but having something drastically different from what we typically see with direct shotos and loose shotos could be fun. You’ve got all these people doing fireballs and rising uppercuts even if they didn’t train under Gouken, so why not break the mould and start a teensy similar if you must and go hog wild?
(Ever since seeing Hak Fu in Jackie Chan adventures, I’ve wanted more of a comically self-serious, but TERRIFYING zodiac animal fighter guy, this would be fine for me. If the joke aspect came from his personality, but he was a legitimate, but insane and aesthetically threatening fighter, I’d be all for it. I don’t so much want to laugh at his moves, but rather aspects of his character.)

JCA was some strange stuff growing up as a kid. Thank God they don’t make cartoons glorifiing celebrities.
WHAT?! That show was awesome!

It was average I guess. I never been cool on those celebrity cartoons because most of them are “ooh, look how rich I am” but this show actually doesn’t do that. It was the end of an era. There’s better shows than that.
To each their own.
RE costumes: Huh, so this is the first alt that Cammy has pants? Lol amazing.

I’m digging these, was hoping for a Mr. X with battle damage for G. Normally I don’t take stock of what X-Kira said, but it seems like he’s been right about some things lately. I wonder what’s next.
That’s because it isn’t Cammy. It’s her stunt double Kammi.
