While the screen is flashing white, after the VS screen, or just after the re-match menu goes away, you press and hold LK+LP+MP+HP + Up.

I can't seem to get it to work on a rematch. Is the timing super strict?

I don't even play Zangief but I'm annoyed at how tiny he looks next to Abigail. Was this character's inclusion really worth making the rest of the roster look so physically weak? It's not like he's an iconic character or a final boss. He's a virtual nobody in the Capcom universe

Are you annoyed with Hugo too?

Yes since there's no loading.

I can think of quite a few characters that are taller than Zangief. He was never designed to be the tallest character in Street Fighter. Do Gief players feel insecure now or something?

Ryce found some concept art for the new sports costumes on the CFN site

Now I'm mad Laura's costume code didn't give her that ponytail. For shame, Capcom. And all of Rashid's costumes look super good there.

I dunno about Abigail. I'm really bad at holding down buttons to precise timing :p

Still giving him a fair shake though, but I think Ed is still my personal fave S2 char thus far.

He was the boss of the Mad Gear Gang & one of the boss fights in Final Fight.
 
The costume was designed by CPT 2016 Winner NuckleDu.
My guess is that this bandana version is a tribute to ISDD, because he made him interested in Guile again.

For those who don't know ISDD(Imstilldadaddy) is a Guile main who streams and frequently puts on that kind of bandana. Unlike others, he stuck to Guile from the very beginning.
I guess one might call it respect under Guile players.

I usually watch his stream he must be so proud :p quite funny guy...

Don't kid yourselves, Ken doesn't look like in that render, lol. He'll forever be fug in this game.
 
Wish they'd do a costume bundle that doesn't cost a fortune.

For now, soccer Rashid it is. Maybe CPT pass but damn it's expensive for what it is.

I'm interested in SFV now more than ever, but I've been holding off for a Super SFV rerelease; does this seem likely, or should I just bite the bullet now?

Chances are 99% that whatever is available through a "SSFV" release will be available at no additional cost for existing players.

So yeah, if you can get a good deal right now jump in. The Deluxe edition (Base game + S1 Pass + S2 pass) is often on sale for 40$ which is a pretty good deal.

For more than two years they have been saying that you won't have to buy a Super version, you will just get the update. Just get it already.
 
Am I reading that right $9.99... for one stage!?

If so that's insane.
Yes, but it's the only stage that you have to buy with real money. The premium price is because it contributes to the CPT fund. (That doesn't justify the price IMO, but that's Capcom's reasoning.)

Every other stage is purchased with in game currency.

Wow that's the best Juri has ever looked, her model/costume is so well realised.

Too bad none of these additions will alter my feelings from being completely bored by how shallow SFV's gameplay and mechanics are.

Still ripping off their fans, why not sell low and in volume. You'd think as developers they would want to see more people enjoy their work as well.

There will be a super version but it won't be the same as the past versions where it makes the last revision obsolete. It will be more in vein of Mortal Kombat XL and be a collection of the content currently released, would be a nice way to get those that haven't jumped in yet to be up to date and boost sales.
