Street Fighter V

[Sari]

Just sat through the top 8 of Combo Breaker. While there were some boring matches (such as the ones with Dhalsim which lasted forever), there were some really good ones like Flash vs FChamp and this Alex vs this one Laura (I forget their names). Overall it was fairly enjoyable.

Also, Ibuki confirmed.

 

[dezeray112]

So Ibuki finally makes it onto the scene. Either way, pretty surprised Balrog wasn't unveiled which I'm pretty much guessing he will be July's DLC character.

 

[LeifEriksson]

I have no strong feelings about Ibuki. I don't hate her with a burning passion, and I don't really like her either. Just another character that isn't Dan or Akuma. *sigh*

And to think I was starting to forgive Capcom for all of their nonsense.

I was saying "What's the problem? It's the end of June today." but then I realized it was May...

I was happy ibuki got delayed. I wanted balrog so bad. Ibukis vortex brings back bad memories.
If anyone needs help with the laura match up let me know.

I still do not understand this statement regarding rage quitting:

We know some of you are still not having the best experience online due to players who rage quit but we are happy to report that the latest solution has brought the amount of players who disconnect during matches down by roughly 60%.

While this is an improvement, it’s clear we still have a lot of work to do on this issue and you can expect us to roll out additional measures in the future to help address this problem.

Is it really that hard to set it where quitting results in the loss of points no matter what, as opposed to every 3 or so quits? Other fighting games already have this (USFIV had this as well if I'm not mistaken). It's almost as if Capcom is doing everything they can to make people not play their game.

 

[Twewy]

So, when's Q? I'm dying to know who or what he is.

 

[radio silent]

I'm excited for Ibuki, though there's sort of an inherent excitement in seeing SF3 characters again. I'll probably try to pick her up, since I could stand to play another character besides Mika.

So, when's Q? I'm dying to know who or what he is.

Much like Skullomania - never.

And I would be sad if they ever revealed that much about Q. The mystery surrounding him is without a doubt the best part about him.

 

[Twewy]

I don't mind having mystery around him, I just want some subtle hints as to what he's doing. He obviously isn't too malicious because there's some promo art of him from 3S floating around of a woman trying to interview him as some dude takes his coat and he just looks calm as hell.

 

[Sari]

Here's Ibuki's story mode costume, which is basically just Karin's alt costume (why it isn't Ibuki's regular ninja outfit is beyond me).

Spoiler

I'm probably gonna stop playing SFV for a while. Mainly because I'm terrible with every character I pick that isn't Birdie, and Capcom has failed to address the most basic of problems with the game. At this rate, the only thing that will make me come back is the story mode update (which will probably just be a generic "we have to stop Bison!" story with nothing interesting), and Urien (assuming he doesn't get delayed like Ibuki/Balrog).

 

[Twewy]

Good lord, she has a man's body.

New details on the story mode update in June.

http://www.capcom-unity.com/harriso...v-cinematic-story-and-additional-june-updates

Spoiler: Pictures

Wow. This looks really promising! They even say it's 3-4 hours long as opposed to it being 1-2 hours earlier. Some interesting things to note from the pictures:

• Ryu is seems to be going into the satsui no hado. Something tells me Necali will absorb it or something like that (could be how he loses it in SFIII).
• Chun-Li's adopted girl is being taken by cloaked guys, who seem to be wearing similar colored clothing to Urien. They're most likely the Illuminati working under Shadaloo, which could explain why Urien has the girl in thrid strike.
• In that same pic, Rashid is in the background. Seeing as how he confronts Chun-Li in the story mode trailer, I'm guessing he's going to be working with her.
• Nash is using his v-skill against a sonic boom. This most likely means a Nash vs Guile fight.

The best part is that according to the blog, all of the DLC characters will be playable! Even Urien! I hope to god Capcom doesn't mess this up because this is looking very promising.

EDIT: Sean confirmed!

Sean? OH MAN IT'S TIME TO ROLL BOYS

 

[Twewy]

Petition to make Bengus never draw Alex smiling again. Or to make Urien look like he's saying "Hey kids, want to see a CRAZY CHILIDOG?!"

 

[Sari]

Nice to see that Capcom can poke fun at themselves.

 

[Twewy]

QD = Q's dere.

Q confirmed. It's official.

 

[MarioMeteor]

This story mode actually has me drooling. I could not want this any more than I already do. I'm really glad that Bison's back in the spotlight, too, after having it stolen by Akuma and Seth.

But as a side note, why the **** is Ryu still fighting the Satsui no Hado when we CLEARLY saw Gouken seal it in SSFIV? They absolutely refuse to let this storyline die. It's getting worse than the Mishimas and the Devil Gene at this point.

It seems like in SFIII (which takes place after SFV), Ryu doesn't have the Satsui no Hado anymore. I'm guessing Necalli will absorb it or something like that, since he likes devouring souls.

Off topic, but does anyone else think at least 1 character will meet their end in story mode? I think Nash will most likely be killed somehow, and something is telling me Bison's days are nearing.

 

[Twewy]

Bison's as good as dead in V. In Third Strike, Urien's dialogue with Chun-Li in their rival fight implies she ends Shadaloo. IIRC it's something like "Show me the power of the legs that destroyed that company..."

If anyone dies, it's probably going to be Charlie. They're not going to kill Bison, he's the main villain of the series. Besides, he's "died" twice already, and you know how that turned out.

If he was the main villain he'd be around in III.

 

[MarioMeteor]

If he was the main villain he'd be around in III.

So even though he's been portrayed as the main antagonist since his inception in II, counting TV shows and movies, he's not the main villain because he didn't appear in what was the series least important to the plot? Sound logic you have there.

 

[Twewy]

Obviously the true antagonist is Zangief. I mean, he was even a bad guy in Wreck It Ralph.

 

[dezeray112]

Story mode looks pretty interesting. Certainly raises a lot of questions within the trailer shown.

 

[Sari]

Ibuki, Balrog, and story mode will be available this Friday. Here is Balrog's trailer along with the Vegas stage from SFII.

Also, Juri and Urien (who still has his Aegis Reflector)!!!

For once, Capcom has not disappointed me that much!

 

[MarioMeteor]

Damn it, I just want the Thailand stage back.

 

[Minato]

They've been outsourcing the newer character models and they look great. Capcom should just keep doing that if possible.

 

[Twewy]

6/10, not Crazy Chili Dog enough.

If that suit doesn't rip apart and also evaporate upon activating his V-trigger, then what's the point.

 

[Twewy]

He doesn't even look like brown as hell, he just looks like a tan dude.

 

[Sari]

I'm guessing the thong will be its own separate alt. V-trigger will probably be the Aegis Reflector while the critical art will be some flashy animation. Still a cool idea though.

He doesn't even look like brown as hell, he just looks like a tan dude.

It's probably because he's not in full power or something like that. Urien is tan-ish in his SFIII intro.

I made a poll about the SFV newcomers.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

 

[Johnknight1]

Can't wait for Ibuki!!!

I could really use another character I love that isn't Nash. Ibuki was my main in IV and my secondary in Third Strike, so needless to say I exhilarated that she looks soooooooooo good!!!

They've been outsourcing the newer character models and they look great. Capcom should just keep doing that if possible.

All of the DLC characters visually look amazing, with Balrog, Urien and especially Juri looking literally perfect.

A new story mode trailer was released:

Interesting things to note:

• At 0:40, we see Rashid, Urien, Helen, and an unknown figure. If I had to guess, that unknown person is Rashid's friend, who was apparently captured by the Illuminati (Urien is obviously part of it while it's been long-suspected that Helen was a part of it as well).
• At 0:46, Decapre is shown, which leads me to believe that she'll be playable at one point.
• At 0:56, F.A.N.G. is choking Sean, which will most likely lead to a Laura and F.A.N.G. fight at some point (even though Cammy blocks Laura).
• At 1:13, Juri, Cammy, and Decapre team up and ride on a bike together holy crap!

For the first time since Tekken, I care about a fighting games story mode! Good on ya, Capcom

THONG URIEN CONFIRMED!

Also his critical art:

Story mode, completed. Was silly fun. Not great, but it was nice seeing them do story mode.
