The game is missing some playstyles.
Zoner (although it seems like the entire cast has ways to negate any zoning lol)
Rekka
PureGrappler (Birdie is good but we need a imma get in yo face type too)
PureChargeType (Vega is apparently a motion character now?)
ZoningPokes (Sim)
No idea, just an observation of what they've shown so farYou mean they'll keep it to A3 chars. ?
Was Vega in Alpha 3?
Skilletor already answered, but here's the character select from A3 just to back it up and show who else was at the A3 party:Yep.
Don't think I missed anyone but they all seem to be there.
While I like Ibuki I have no hope of her being in the core. She'll definitely be DLC I'd imagine as she's always been fairly well liked if the number of comics and merch featuring her are any indication :3Chances of getting Ibuki or Makoto in the initial 16 seem pretty low
Not really no. Maki is basically combo-heavy GuyFuerte was basically Maki
I also really hope Eisbahn is one of the new characters. His design (from what I saw) looked awesome.
You can see him on the billboard behind Nash here;
GillFirst time hearing about this. Has there ever been an Ice element character in Street Fighter?
So... as an aside to the fuerte arguments, am I right in thinking that outside of newcomer Necali, all currently revealed characters were in Alpha 3? If so I wonder if that's a coincidence or not.
:3 <( ? )
The 4 non-SF2 characters being a 1-each of 0/1/3/4 wouldn't surprise me.
The character wouldn't be named Eisbahnn - but I definitely think that's a future ice character.
I think it's supposed to be an ad for one.Eisbahn is such a weird name though, means ice track or ice rink in German.
I think it's supposed to be an ad for one.
a) Because of the ChunnelBut it's in the London stage right? Why would they advertise something in another language.
I suppose with a cast of 31(?) characters, it would be pretty likely that they'd be in it I guess ^.^;Well almost everyone was in alpha 3. Before Vega's reveal, the observation was that the cast were all from Alpha 2. Alpha 3 is less of a distinction.
What's to note is Vega is back to being blonde, which is like his Alpha 3 design.
a) Because of the Chunnel
b) Because it's a teaser for a future character.

"EL FUERTE IS NOT A STREET FIGHTER CHARACTER"[/QUOTE]
Wait, who are you agreeing with?
Wait, who are you agreeing with?
Please elaborate. Especially on the "boring to watch" part. That's definitely the most baffling part.
BUT WHAT ABOUT MEEEEENot the SF nazis. El Fuerte is fun as hell. Spabdaddy, iPeru, and PepeDay 4 lyfe. Nothing is tastier than landing those RSF reps in a match.
From my perspective as a viewer, so little of Fuerte's gameplan is influenced by the opponents actions. It just seems so one-note and braindead.
Fuerte's flash is in his move set. The guyhas a command grab where he spins around your neck like a propellor and launches you into the air. How is that nor flashy?Since the phrase "his design sucks" is also too vague, I thought I'd elaborate:
The luchadore archetype usually produces characters that have very flashy and visually interesting characters. Usually with colorful and flashy costumes. This wasn't exactly what we got with El Fuerte. He has a very grounded appearance, which, to me, is pretty boring. I think his third(?) alt mostly mitigates that because it's a more intricate costume. I also have some complaints about his personality. But, they just boil down to the fact that he is a comedic character that isn't funny or endearing to me.
That's like the opposite of the reality. None of Fuerte's mixups options are comprehensive and only a couple are safe, so successfully keeping an opponent pinned down is more down to understanding what the opposing character can do and anticipating what the opposing player wants to do.
It just seems so one-note and braindead. It might not actually be either of those things, but that's the impression I get from watching Fuerte matches. For me, he just isn't fun to watch.

Is this urien confirmation?Just that you're a real gem of a poster. Keep it up, tiger.
Is it true that in the early stages of SF3, Sakura was supposed to in the roster? I think Capcom realizes that she is too important to not include anymore.
Not really no. Maki is basically combo-heavy Guy
What else is he supposed to do, start playing a zoning game with the projectiles he doesn't have?More to the point, what does a Fuerte player do when their opponent guesses right and punishes them for failing an unsafe mixup? If the Fuerte play I've seen is anything to go by, they just attempt another mixup. A lot of the matches I've seen amount to very similar things happening over and over again.
You don't see an issue with the most mobile character in the franchise having a potentially distracting outfit? It wouldn't really be in keeping with the asthethic style of the series, either.I understand that. I don't think that's an excuse to stick with a toned-down visual design. Why not a flashy moveset to match a flashy costume?

You mean combo light guy? In CvS2 she has less chains and combos than SFA3 guy. Unless her SFA3 max play style is different..Not really no. Maki is basically combo-heavy Guy

Which was never really played at a high level since its exclusive to PSP. Everyone in that game is combo heavy lmao , thanks V-ism.
Well yah I guess, even in CvS2 if you pick whatever the vism groove was...Which was never really played at a high level since its exclusive to PSP. Everyone in that game is combo heavy lmao , thanks V-ism.

That's Alpha 3 MAX At that point you're looking at something only second to USF4 in terms of general roster size XD
Yun confirmed as SF3 rep?
He looks like Remy with an eye patch.I also really hope Eisbahn is one of the new characters. His design (from what I saw) looked awesome.

Just looks like a snow flake and shadows. Looks like the new guy has ice powers? Would be interesting...He looks like Remy with an eye patch.
What does Eisbahn mean again?

Nope, took a lot of time to practice against elf, had a good friend on PSN who taught me how to defend against him. When to FA, when you can just back dash or forward dash on wake-up in regards to the spacing of his splash. baiting U2 out for big damage etc...it still comes down to some guessing, and it's completely annoying. I guess the top expert players haven't taken the time to learn the MU either and are just salty because the annoyance for the character is in no way just on the casual/mid-tier level.People can't play against the character and would rather lash out in anger than learn how to counter him
guessing in a fighting game over and over is annoying?Seriously, what is with the hate?
