Street Fighter V

Side note, I think Ken might've gone down a spot or two to Makoto. Ken's just more likely to win because, well, you tell me.

I also, uh, really really really like 3S Makoto and hope she returns for SFV.

I'm with Goldmonkey on this, actually, i'd rather have the roster be mostly new faces if the timeline really does place V after III.

Ryu and Chun-Li are already in, maybe add another older character if they absolutely have to to keep some classics <bonus points if they used one of the SFIII characters not reused for SFIV/SFXT>. From there, bring back Viper since she missed SFXT, along with Hakan, El Fuerte and Gouken to at least avoid abandoning the rest of the new non-Decapre characters and to make up for them skipping both SFXT and MVC 3 <especially Hakan for awesome points, and Gouken for the story potential.>

And after them, let the rest of the roster be new characters to show off new stuff with the engine and PS 4 bells and whistles and such.

I'd rather the only newcomers veterans besides the givens (Ryu, Chun Li, Akuma and maybe Ken) be characters who haven't appeared in a while or have unorthodox styles that would make them interesting choices (like R. Mika or Sodom for the former or Necro for the latter).

If this one's after 3 I'd kinda like Ken to sit this one out, maybe follow his brother in law's advice, and let Sean take over for him. As Vert pointed out Sean kind of got shafted in Third Strike and became the lowest tier character, so it'd be cool for him to completely master Ken's style and succeed him in V. I also really love his design, but I love the design of everyone in 3. Except Remy. Don't care too much for Remy.

Regardless, CLEARLY Cammy◊ HAS to be in.

I very much agree that the out of focus characters should be most of the returning faces. If Sean were to come back I just might play a shoto for the first time in forever. SF has so many awesome characters that if given the chance could become iconic but they have a tendency to stay with the safe old characters. Which isn't a terrible thing but its not great either.

What, uh....what am I looking at?

I'd like to see Sean return as well. Alex needs to come back too.

While that S Ba HJ pic is hilarious... why post it?

I honestly don't want too many newcomers. Five sounds like a good number. A tad over a fourth of the roster.

On SF 3, I always thought it was seen by the greater part of thecommunity as the red-headed step-child of the series. I liked the stuff, but it kinda met poor reception on the whole, n'est pas?

On a personal note, I wish they had stuck with the (goregeous) sprite animation over 3D. It just has more charm... and ages way better.

SF 3 has actually very much been Vindicated by History. If anything it's the most popular entry with the competitive crowd.

There are people who even prefer it to IV.

Anywho, I'm pretty hyped about this; just wish I had a PS 4.

My bad, I meant to post this.

What I want to do is find that group of fans that think Fighting Street is the best game in the series.

But fighting street was the best. You need serious fucking skill to pull off inputs to a game that decides when or when they shouldn't be read. Also To this day, beating Sagat in that game is an achievement I don't think I could ever replicate.

That's a game that needs an HD remake, with the same control issues and everything.

Now I know something I never knew I'd know.

Fighting Street is on the Virtual Console.

But seriously, I gave that game way more attention then it deserved.

Charlie Nash in the fucking house bitches!!!!

Oh, this is good. Really helps my hopes of more left behind characters to get the spotlight.

Yay, more faked deaths as an excuse to bring characters back while keeping the old ones in.

On the other hand, looks like guard meter isn't a thing in this game. People seem to be speculating that it's either just defense or a new animation for parrying. I've...got mixed feelings on parrying, but it could be cool.

Well it's been 16 years since we saw Charlie, and it also gives an excuse to not have Guile, since we have better Guile now.

Sean and Sakura could take Ken/ryu's place(with shipping!) and honestly I'd be okay with it.

Capcom wouldn't though.

But nah Sean and Sakura should come back new and improved, and end up shipped together.

Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised if the character in the trailer is either new (but looks extremely similar to Charlie) or a really well-done clone/robot of Charlie.

No more clones and no robots.

Nobody wants those anymore. They just screw up the stories and don't fit in Street fighter.

Ignoring the obvious importance of Noodle-li:

• Different levels of EX meter for each character. Kinda reminiscient to 3rd Strike in that sense.
• That stance thing looks like a super mode you can activate when you have full meter. Reminds me of Dark Force in Darkstalkers. I wonder...
• Revenge meter is back. Boo.
• Combo counter tracks hits as they happen. Yay.
• Chip doesn't kill. Not sure what to think about that one, been happening in anime fighters for a while now and not sure I liked it there either.

Chip kills suck ass and fighting games are always better without them.

Nothing more frustrating then losing to fireball spam when you're at barely any life due to chip damage.

Lol at Chun li still having a noodle bowl on her head after it gets knocked onto her.

Animation looks a lot better than 4's.

Yeah it does.

But like

they're still wearing the same outfits?
