does TBA stand for To Be Anticipated?

Like... all of them lol.
Akuma was in the first version of 4, and they still had a ton of hyped characters to release.
Besides Akuma who else would they have? The huge list of characters that have not returned since 4:
Sagat
Rose
Q
Oro
Sodom
Sean
Elena
Poison
Tweleve (I like him ok!)
Maki
Eagle
Gen
Rolento
Cody
ect.
Akuma is high on most peoples want list but so are a ton others. Seems like the Sagat crowd is a bit more vocal than the Akuma one for this game imo. Personally just want Rose back but meh thats me

why would you include elena

CAs are pretty short in game.
Also I wonder if Demon will be his actual CA, or if it will be a hidden one like in the past.
Sorry but I need him, I kazuya da bess.
You gonna have to get styled on for the entire life of SF5
Those tekken characters in 2d were ace
Normally it stands for To Be Announced.

The funny thing about that is that for the longest time there was actually debate about whether her appearance in RS was canon or not. Her school in that game conflicted with the one she went to in SF. It's only recently that they've 100% solidified it.

First character of season 2 or a free character?
I was in the room when this happened. Shit went nuts and the banners dropped.

why do you condemn me to styled on hell?
yeah they were pretty cool; I wished Capcom would repurpose a lot of their movements actually

Ah so he's a Season 2.
Need to save some fight money because I doubt I'll buy the Season 2 pass.

Wasn't that faked?
It was just a tease, but it isn't going to be a free character. .001% chance of that happening.

I think this is what it's gonna be.
Not sure what his V-Skill could be besides Demon Flip.

So possibly full season 2 news at psx?
haha seems like tokido doesn't enjoy ryu at all
i'm not convinced yet with gouki though in sf5, lack of hard knockdowns hurt him real bad

Finally SFV can be a real Street Fighter game like Tekken 7

lol I don't think Honda is going to get people hype like Akuma
Everyone is decapre status after Akuma

I'm betting they were going to add him in S1 and couldn't figure it out soon enough.
By this logic, they had nothing left after the arcade version of sf4.

I'm not a fan of Akuma but I'm excited about more character reveals, new stages and new content coming to Street Fighter V. Since they've held back on non-essential balance amendments until the Pro Tour Season is over there might be some interesting changes coming.
Despite the stuttering launch I've absolutely loved Street Fighter V; I've barely played other games.

As someone who's never used Akuma and was glad he wasn't in vanilla, this is super cool. Hopefully Sagat next!

Honda would get me hype dang it
I think the FF cast could get some attention, not on Akuma's level, but close.
I hope Ed gets in and he's just Steve fox.
Like seriously I would loose my shit if he was just steve fox
I'm actually looking forward to his moveset because he has so many across his multiple appearances, probably the most moves of any Street Fighter character.

Akuma, Sagat, and Sakura are basically the "Holy Trinity" of characters not in 5 yet.
Giving away Akuma now, still leaves plenty of juice for later.

Jesus, this day is gonna be a rollercoaster. First
wins the NA qualifier, then Akuma and in 13-14 hours, MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDA REVEAL.

Why are they adding a Tekken character in street fighter V???

Sagat is probably next
Because Tekken was too EZ for Akuma.

Even conceding to the idea of using Akuma as soon as possible for Season 2, you would think Capcom would it hold off and have him be the last confirmed Season 2 character.
It's like how they kept Juri and Urien for last this year. Or kept Dhalsim's redesign secret until near last.
