I mean they've got 3 more days to get the character out for this month or they have failed. I remember getting confirmations for Alex and guile well ahead of the date no?

take this with a gigantic spoon of salt.
So my sources just hit me up.
Capcom is delaying the May Update and fusing it with the June Update.
June Update will include:
Ibuki
Balrog
Sagat
Cinematic Story Mode
Zenny Shop
Compensation Gift for the delay and major problems with SFV at launch up till now (Which should be Sagat, Stage and some kind of outfits).

Yeah this is how I've felt about it as well. As a fan, it's kind of embarrassing how badly it's being handled.
Necalli probably sucks most of Akuma's new-found power out of him before SFIII (I said most, since Akuma still has a bit of white in his hair as of SFIII).
I looked through that entire guide for Makoto.We already know all of the characters coming this year.
- Alex (Street Fighter III: New Generation, already out as of March)
- Guile (Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, already out as of April)
- Ibuki (Street Fighter III: New Generation, likely out either this month or in July)
- Balrog (Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, likely out either this month or in July)
- Juri (Super Street Fighter IV, likely out in August)
- Urien (Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact, likely out in September)
That being said, Capcom did release some concept art of Akuma's redesign for his possible inclusion in Street Fighter V (likely in Wave 2).
Fucking El Fuerte is there.

Compensation better be arcade more and vs CPU modes

lol at Sagat, he's strong enough to be the centerpiece for an entire season. Capcom wouldn't give him out for free.
Sagat wasn't one of the confirmed DLC characters so sounds like complete bullshit.
There isn't supposed to be a character release in June. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Capcom threw in an extra character as compensation for the delay (but I'd be surprised if the compensation character wasn't Akuma). Still, I'm gonna go with this being fake for now.

They've been barely scraping by. Alex came out a month and a half after the game and had the same transparency issues. Every one was in the dark about how they wouldn't handle the content.
It's ok if they're having issues. Say that the content may be delayed to your fans so they can adjust their expectations accordingly. Communication is always better than radio silence.
That's Oni lmfaoWe already know all of the characters coming this year.

Better not use it when it looks too similar to oni with an oni alternate or akuma alternate

I don't get it ...they hired Peter as a community manager and it seems like they only utilize him to talk shit to Mike Ross every once in a while. What was the point of digging into the FGC to get someone like him and not use him to communicate with community regularly . Maybe I just don't understand what a community manager does?

It's the super-tough karate girl, Makoto!
The punches she bring forth are severity itself. She's a karate practicioner from Tosa.
Basic info
Name: Makoto
Height: 160cm
Weight: 50kg

Profile
She's a tough and hot-blooded karate girl. She's the successor of the notable Tosa-based Rindokan style karate dojo.
She struggles hard rebuild the ruined family dojo. She's skilled enough to possess a black belt!
She has an older brother who isn't at all suited for martial arts. She takes pride in being a do-it-yourselfer, and performs repairs on the dojo on her own.
How remarkable!
I don't disagree but saying "hey there's gonna be a patch in May" and then saying LITERALLY NOTHING until the very end of the month is incredibly frustrating.I really wish Capcom was more upfront with this stuff instead of literally annoucing everything at the last minute.

On a side note, my biggest fear came to pass with SFV in that all the casuals have left (probably due to just... well not enough there) and now it's nothing but the traditional FGC, who are now just wrecking me constantly

This is more fake than the 50 dollar Gucci bags from chinatown.

Hard to say if they intended to stick around and get good in the first place. Online would discourage anyone it's rough out there.
lmao this is the fakest garbage I have ever heard
They've already been falling behind with updates, how would they have the extra time to add Sagat
At least that (now debunked) rumor from SRK seemed plausible and correlated with shit we already knew. This is neither.
Nah I think it was inevitable.On a side note, my biggest fear came to pass with SFV in that all the casuals have left (probably due to just... well not enough there) and now it's nothing but the traditional FGC, who are now just wrecking me constantly

I'm a casual who occasionally plays online only because there is nothing else to do in the game, I hate online play
As soon as offline content comes I'll be gone for good, just need my vs AI stuff

Unfortunately I think you're right. I am definitely one of those casuals and I left because there just wasn't much to offer single player wise. Once vs CPU and arcade mode comes back, I'll hop back in.
It's been the same way every month. You hear nothing till about the last week of the month and then the post a blog about the update. I don't get why people keep thinking each month will be any different.
They said there will be something to look forward to at combo breaker Sunday so that might be it.

which, oddly enough, is why I now kinda side with the ones who initially took Capcom to task for the lack of a single-player component/suite to dig into....even though I actually dug being forced into playing online more!
Seems like, once again, the biggest problem is SF's own FGC and their dedication/awesomeness.
I mean, I'll continue to play online...and get fucking wrecked, hoping to get a little better. But still, I'm 33 and I'll never be able to compete at that level... so yeah, the lack of something substantial for people like me, does in fact suck, hard.

The steam playerbase numbers have fallen to be around USF4's average. Only after three months.

They don't want to reveal her SFV outfit until she shows up in the story mode obviously (Please let this happen)

lol Sagat.
Sounds like the same guy whose sources confirmed Ibuki reveal for last Tuesday

Thank you.
As stated in previous threads, Capcom would be better off by just adding random fights & a difficulty toggle to the Character Stories (& maybe a bonus stage) than making an entirely separate Arcade Mode. It'd save them the trouble of having to draw new endings & bringing the voice actors back to the recording booth, plus it would fill the void left by Arcade Mode. They'd get the same result with less work.
That being said, the random fights would have to take place in the appropriate stages for each character's story. For example, before Rashid fights Ryu at Forgotten Waterfall, he has to fight a randomized set from the rest of the cast who don't have specific scenarios in Rashid's story.

Nah thats it. SFV's financial failure is now complete and capcom abandoned this sinking ship.
You forgot your "/s".
Yeah, retrofitting the character stories into the new arcade mode makes the most sense.

I'm gonna guess that Balrog will be next, only because story mode is coming soon and Balrog being one of the four kings will probably factor into the story heavily
Would not be surprised if V was planned to eventually overwrite 3 in the plot.

You forgot arcade mode with new boss, anime cut scenes and Akuma hidden. /s
They should compensate me paying $60 for their bullshit by giving me the entire fucking season 1 + story outfits for free. Goddamn do I still feel burned four months later.

much rather have Rog than Ibuki.
I don't feel like having to learn the point of Ibuki's 500 moves when only like 3 of them are actually good

I want Juri already.
I love that Ibuki design. I really can't wait for her. There's no doubt her V Skill will be her dash that goes through opponents and/or her jump. V Trigger could be her Kunai super.
