SoWL Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 ... Carlos Blanka = Charlie.SF movie is not canon.
TekkamanArk Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 ... Carlos Blanka = Charlie.No, Charlie is Charlie Nash. Blanka = Blanka. Carlos Blanka isn't a canon name. As it stands, Blanka is either Blanka or Jimmy.
Kyosuke Kagami Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 ... I think it's too damn obvious it's a JOKE.
TekkamanArk Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 You know, I actually like Zangief, and i'm loving his new tools (except that super, get that shit out of here), but, my reaction was this:GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!!!!!!!!Was supposed to be Alex (far more interesting grappler) and Urien, not Zangief and (most likely revealed at NYCC) Guile for the last 2 returning character slots.Here's hoping the last 2 new characters just blow me away, because this roster is super weak right now. Seemingly 8 SF2 characters in a roster of 16? I'm liking a lot of changes to the returning characters, mind you, but just...Jesus, SF3 got no one, and neither did 4 (not that I particularly want anyone from 4 other than Decapre and maybe El Fuerte, but still). SF2 is not THAT damn good that we needed all this. It really should have been an relatively even split between the games, like so:SF2: Ryu, Chun, BisonSFA: Nash, Mika, KarinSF3: Alex, Urien, Sean (SI/GI or NG Sean, not 3S Sean)SF4: El Fuerte, Decapre, JuriSF5: Necalli, Rashid, "Laura", "Zen"Still keeps within 16 characters, more even split to represent all parts of the series, etc.
Angry Guy of DE Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 What a rather meh reveal. Would've liked to see them add from Alpha or SF3 more than SF2 veterans.Gief's climax arts looks very weak. No atomic buster whatsoever.
SoWL Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I never really liked Zangief (and that's despite loving grapplers as a playstyle), but this time, he actually looks fun. Like, even his moves look fun, not just his accent. Not enough for me to pick him over Mika, but the way Capcom has updated all the veterans so far is just great.
Fatal Seabass Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 SF2 is not THAT damn good that we needed all this.Quite the contrary.
Vulcan422 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I'm excited, especially since I no longer have to deal with 1f link cancels into Green Hand.Love his new armor properties when his V-Skill is activated. REAL SOVIET NANOMACHINES, SON.
BlackYakuzu94 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 You guys really surprised the quintessential grappler makes an appearance in the quintessential fighting game :V
CaliburWarrior Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Another hint pictures from Ono. A Mexico stage. I'm sure it's the new characters stage, Laura or Zen.http://www.eventhubs.com/imagegallery/2015/oct/01/ono-hinting-urien-street-fighter-5/1/http://www.eventhubs.com/imagegallery/2015/oct/01/ono-hinting-urien-street-fighter-5/2/
SoWL Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 You guys really surprised the quintessential grappler makes an appearance in the quintessential fighting game :V We did have SF games with no Gief, you know.
BlackYakuzu94 Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 We did have SF games with no Gief, you know.True, but he appears more often than not yes?
CaliburWarrior Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Mexico? Could be Urien.Urien will be DLC with Alex. We have 1 returning character left and 2 new characters. So it's has to be Laura or Zen next.
Tokkan Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Laura (New Character) was accidentally leaked by Famitsu. Screenshots of her were included in their article on the Zangief reveal by mistake.I've saved them and uploaded to imgur. Just in case they get taken down.Someone at Famitsu is getting fired today. Edited October 2, 2015 by Tokkan
The Badgerine Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Ah, the Brazillian character that isn't Blanka. On Gief: I sadly have to join the fans that would've preferred Alex, but at least Gief looks cool. Except for that super, of course.His V-Trigger reminds me of why I love Tager as a grappler character concept (a grappler who can bring his opponents towards him, rather than have to do it the other way around).REAL SOVIET NANOMACHINES, SON.oh my god his skin even changes color when he does his super armor v-skill this is too on the nose
TAI-X Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 Ugh, looks like the love child of Tekken's Christie and Skrillex. At least she seems to be a BJJ practicioner, judging by the chokeholds - I really don't think we need to see a new capoiera character in a fighting game ever again. Still, I can't view her inclusion as anything other than cynical demographic pandering aimed at roping in the massive Brazilian playerbase (who are all just going to pirate the PC version of this game anyway lol). SNK has been guilty of this too, but Ramon was way cooler and more interesting from the get-go.
This Man Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Happy to see 'gief. I don't think the problem is the presence of SF2 characters, but that the Alpha and new characters look uninspiring, with the possible exception of Charlie.A lot of people are creaming themselves on SRK about Laura, but she looks so bland and generic to me.Looks like she got Chun's ugly giant feet and hands.

SNK has been guilty of this too, but Ramon was way cooler and more interesting from the get-go.Yeah, just like every female character in all fighting games is there to please SJWs I like her focus on the chokes, though having another female grappler would make both her and Mika a bit less special. Though it seems like she also has a fireball, making her a bit more well-rounded, I assume?
swordsman09 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Everything about this new Gief has my dad written all over it. He even told me he's gonna be using that super armor like nobody's business.And I think Laura looks interesting enough. Her outfit is a little plain but I like the inclusion of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Also I still believe that her hair is one of the ugliest hair styles on the planet. -_-

Angry Guy of DE Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Is that Ono putzing around in the background of Laura's stage?

I liked her design... and she doesn't have MONSTRUOUS feet.
TekkamanArk Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Street Fighter V's Laura got a trailer, and she looks absolutely glorious. Definitely my favorite newcomer so far.
