Guys, they did the thing. They did the thing I was hoping they'd do.

Despite wearing the same costume, she looks super good now.

That Story Mode Costume tho. hnnngnggg

Seriously, that might be the best Story Mode costume in the whole game.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

So correct me if I'm wrong, but the plan is sounding like CFN changes + balance changes in March and then the 3rd S2 character in April right?

right

 

[Village]

So how long does it take for people to make an elza alt mod

 

[Skilletor]

I give it 3 days.

Where did they mention CFN changes?
I don't recall seeing that anywhere, but that would obviously be great.

 

[Neoxon]

I have a bad feeling that I'm gonna get all of the Nostalgia Costumes.

God have mercy on my bank account.

 

[mbpm1]

Double jump looks cool. It'd be nice if it was like sadira's but since this is capcom you can probably only jump forward. Looks floaty enough to anti-air without much difficulty. Also looks slow on the jump's second startup.

Also I just realized Kolin gets a nostalgia costume but Ibuki and Alex don't LUL

They will eventually, though.

I wonder if the new new characters will get fake Nostalgia costumes like KI did with their new characters.

I think it's likely. I feel like Rashid's battle costume is exactly how he would have looked if he was part of the SF2 roster back in '91.

lol people are mad on Twitter about a patch coming and I know these are the same dudes asking for one prior to the damn announcement.

 

[LakeEarth]

Did they ever show her double jump in different directions, like a fake-out forward jump into a back jump? Used to do that stuff all the time with Oro in 3rd Strike. The gif only shows a forward to forward double jump.

People are really just looking for excuses to hate SFV now.

Like, yeah it does have problems still. But now people are just contradicting themselves just to jump on the bandwagon.

 

[Neoxon]

Capcom, you clever bastards...

Notice which side Kolin is on (in relation to Gill) before she leaves.

they only showed it once forward.

so probably only forward.

That's probably just a coincidence, dude.

 

[Sayad]

SFIV Ibuki flashbacks, she probably have 900 health.

 

[Mr. X]

Surprise surprise she's rush down

Zzzz

 

[Neoxon]

Probably, but it's a really cool coincidence.

Ever since we got patching and social media, this shit has gone up to eleven. Even pro players are getting heated.

 

[Mr. X]

Hopefully the patch makes the game not boring again.

 

[Gr1mLock]

We all know you like the dolls.

True

Play Gundam Full Boost.

Woshige secretly wanted a Millia look alike in this game and and he got it.

Has double jump and decent oki too!

the way I understood it they'd have news about rebalance in early march, but didn't say anything about when they'd actually deliver

IMHO the easiest thing would be do a big update in april with the character and the rebalance. they only promised to talk about it in march

I guess, but they also said that in the in-between months, they would talk about other things besides the new characters, so I'm just guessing they might do it that way.

It's probably because I'm really tired but what am I missing here?

It'll probably come alongside character 3's release. (which could be March)

 

[Grifter]

Is Helen/Kolin a translation thing?

 

[ElFly]

neoxon is pointing that kolin is standing to the ice side of Gill

but doesn't she stand to the fire side if you play on the 2p side?

thinking emoji

no, Helen was a fake name used to throw Urien off

Ah, I see. Probably just a coincidence but it's cool nonetheless.

 

[Ryce]

I'm re-reading the Unity post, and unless the writer made a mistake, it sounds like we'll hear about the next character before the end of the month.

expect to hear more from us about each of the remaining four characters every other month beginning in February.

 

[klabautermann]

Sounds like funky wording to me, probably mean that news starts dripping in now? Could be interpreted either way.

Kolin isn't part of the "remaining four characters," though.

 

[BlitzKeeg]

Kolin looks pretty cool and promising.

I guess this means I have to buy the season pass :/

You don't have to if you have enough Fight Money.

 

[BlitzKeeg]

You don't have to if you have enough Fight Money.

That's true, but I'd rather ensure I have all the characters and then use the FM for costumes and stuff.

I wouldn't be bothered as much if it was an actual season pass instead of a character pass.

Just to throw more fuel onto the Iori possibility: Part 1 (T16) of KOF XIV's world championships are on the 18th in Tokyo: http://shoryuken.com/2017/02/06/the-king-of-fighters-xiv-world-championship-grand-final-comes-to-tokyo-on-february-18th/ Part 2's (T4) happening in March over in China.

 

[Scotia]

This might be the first character where I get all of their costumes.

 

[klabautermann]

I really hope Iori is in this game because it would be hype as hell but also means that maybe we'll see CvS3 one day haha

I like to live in a world where Iori in SF isn't a completely batshit theory

 

[BlizzKrut]

Wouldn't really like to see a cross-over character in a mainline SF, I think cross-over games are more fit to that.

If akuma can be in tekken

Kazuya can be in SF

Guest characters suck

 

[Ryce]

The silhouette is way too bulky/muscular, Iori doesn’t wear gloves, and Iori doesn’t wear his pants tucked into tall boots. I’m almost positive it’s an original character like Rashid and Laura.

Yeah I definitely agree that this guy looks to be completely new.

Would love to see CvS3. Gimme that True Love Makin' remix

Is all of that from silhouettes we know or is part of it made up? I don't remember a boxing glove like that.

 

[Ryce]

I laid all of the available silhouettes on top of each other and cut the combined shape out. Only the further half of his left arm is guesswork, but he's definitely wearing gloves of some kind. They're not necessarily boxing gloves, though, since Ryu's gloves in this game are bulky and stylized.
