Official Street Fighter 5 thread (PS4, PC)

Q garnered about 10% of the vote in every region of the big poll they conducted a while back, hopefully that means something to Capcom. Oro only nabbed something like 1% (although that was also true of birdie, who made it).

Normally I'd be all about having more new characters than old like ARBM, but I just don't trust Capcom to design good characters anymore. I'd like to have at least four characters I'm interested in in the game.

Yeah exactly, I just don't trust them enough to make a decent new character.

I mean, they made Hakan...

[No One]

Juri is one of my favorite characters in IV, along with Hakan. Their new characters are perfectly serviceable, Decapre notwithstanding. Hakan in particular would have fit in just fine in Third Strike.

I think Yeller has the right of it. Keep the mainstays and actually do something interesting with the roster for once.

I think hakan is the only one that I liked, from a character point of view. El fuerte amused me in how he played.

I thought the new characters were great designs, too. The success of the SF4 newcomers is why I want more new SF5 characters so much.

i loved all of thee SFIII roster. more so than most of the OG's. they were more interesting. Shit i even enjoyed Necro and Twelve. I guess i just dont have that soft spot for the OG cast like everyone else. i would have welcomed a entirely new cast again. Juri was also my fave character from 4.
bb.

I just did a whole write up as to why I didn't like the new characters, but it seems like a waste to post it. Different strokes and all that. I'll give you guys hakan though, he feels like a legit sf2 character.

[MechDeus]

A lot of why I want new characters is just visual design. Even if technically the characters are exactly the same, I'd rather see some new faces on there instead of only the same ones I've been looking at for 20 years or whatever.

Well, as long as some work is put into it, unlike Abel.

[YellerDog]

Oh Shit.

Damn that was one hell of a blanka ball, he just plowed through ryu and kept going.
