[Foxhound286]

Maintenance is still going on. It'll be over in about 5 hours.

 

[HardRojo]

Capcom sucks. After doing the update, I can't log into the server. :/

Servers are down for the moment.

Is there a reason we think the Egyptian Rose clone is a DLC character? Is it just speculation or is there something concrete?

She matches the silhouette almost exactly.

Well, you're gonna hate this, then:

Someone should make a thread

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Yo that's nice tho. Are they gonna bring it back again?

The crowd was chanting "Season 2!" at the end of the finals, and the commentators acknowledged it. Plus, during the show Richard Lewis mentioned in passing that they were discussing the possibilities of season 2.

So...it sounds like they're at least thinking about it...


BTW, for reference:

smh

 

[Blueblur1]

The next female DLC character appears in Ed's character story. She looks Egyptian.

She looks rad. And Capcom showing this character ahead of time is a fun tease. Maybe she S2 Character No. 5 or maybe she isn't, its still better than knowing nothing at all.

 

[TheSpoiler]

I hope it's her. She looks dope.

It's notable that the only thing that beat SFV out on that chart aired on network TV. Season 2 should be a lock.

 

[Village]

I really hope you all are wrong and its the gorilla

I would main that gorilla

 

[dbztrk]

smh

I didn't see the notice. Clearly. smh...

 

[plasmawave]

Next gen Shadaloo lead by Ed would be cool.

 

[paulpp]

I just bought the deluxe edition and couldn't log in. Bad timing to start a PSN Capcom sale and the SF5 servers are down for maintenance.

(sort-of) Patiently waiting...

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I didn't see the notice. Clearly. smh...

Clearly the best course of action is thus to jump into a thread and shit on capcom, instead of:
reading the thread.
reading twitter posts.
Or I dunno, posting to ask what's up?

smh indeed.

 

[histopher]

There was a rumor that character 5 was an Egyptian girl named Menat. Looks like that is true.
Also, other rumours suggest Abigail is next and Zeku is the last character.

 

[Mizerman]

Hmm...she looks interesting.

 

[killu4what]

Spoiler

So is it clear that Rose is the master the fortune teller references.

If the fortune teller is roses apprentice does that help or hurt Roses chances of making an appearance.

I saw that rumor, but when was that posted? If it's before today, then it could be legit if that's her name.

If it's today, then we are on a ruse cruise.

who is zeku?

Yeah, I remember that. Where did that rumor originate? Also, a menat is an ancient Egyptian artifact used to ward off evil spirits, and it looks like the character is holding something like that. Maybe she's helping keep Bison's spirit away from Ed.

 

[kirblar]

I mean, I've been paying attention, and I've literally never heard those last two names until today when someone posted them on Reddit and threw in Abigail's name on top of them after the pic leaked from Story Mode.

 

[ColonialHawk]

Hoping that gorilla is named Abigail

 

[Ryce]

I remember the Menat "leak" from a few weeks (maybe months?) ago.

Wasn't on here, at least, just searched up the name and there's no hits in a SF thread.

 

[MindofKB]

Give us the gorilla, Capcom.

LET'S GOOOOOOOO!

I found a few references to the names on Google:

wait til you guys see Abigail, Menat and Zeku new design.

 

[HardRojo]

Lol I google "Menat Street Fighter" and of course the first result is someone who clearly misspelled "meant".

The first guy sounds legit. He got Ed right and probably Kolin too? I don't remember when exactly it was clear that she was the second DLC character.

 

[Mizerman]

who is zeku?

Guy's former teacher.

 

[ColonialHawk]

Hmm...

 

[killu4what]

Abigail's Wikia page says he like bananas.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Hmm...

Needs AF1s

 

[MrCarter]

Some nice numbers from E-League! Hope it's back next year as it was one of the best SFV events this year.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I've added the maintenance message at the very top of the OP with a link to a timezoneconverter. I'll be doing this now for every maintenance annoucement.

 

[Moaradin]

E-League was pretty great, but I hope they change the format for grand finals next time.

 

[Mizerman]

*Thumbs up*

Good.

Even better.

 

[Lulubop]

Guy's former teacher.

Oh snap

 

[kirblar]

Garuda's hair went from Blonde in the EX games to white in the SFV profile.

Could mean nothing, could mean a cool loretwist.

 

[nded]

I hope the new girl has a stand and that the stand is Rose. JoJoception.

Don't know what you mean but I already hate what i see fuck Eleague ratings don't mean shit

Oh, this is pretty awesome. Eleague was a good series i hope we see more those ratings are promising

 

[Lulubop]

Hmm...

I can see it

Would likely mean no guy tho.

 

[robotzombie]

Oh man, Zeku would be awesome as the last character

Don't care for fortune teller girl but she's a different design so she'd be a good addition to the roster. Glad people on here seem to like her.

Definitely have no interest in Abigail though, but I'm generally not a fan of monster size characters

 

[Hours Left]

The Egyptian girl looks cool. Not sure why people think she's gonna play like Rose though. (Because she's holding a small orb? Doesn't compute. Fortune tellers can be unique too!)

Hmm...

I could support this.

You mad? You work for Capcom? Cause they still suck. Bye girl!

 

[mbpm1]

so egyptian girl is after bootleg jack-7?

Congrats on the success
