Then you look at ED, and Kolin. Awful janky looking characters.

What both have pretty good character models. Pretty much every character in SFV is really well made. These costumes they are making are also have been really well done and much better than what was in SF4.

Also the reason why costumes keep getting released is this is pretty much the only form of guaranteed money they can make as you cannot use Fight Money to get these. Not every character is gonna get a costume anymore only the one's who are guaranteed to sell. They do have data to base this off of which they showed once who and what were the top sellers while back. Maybe if the game would have sold more everyone would have been getting a costume but not with the sales they got.

Joke post?

100% serious.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Makes me wish I actually played Karin.

I'll still get it, though. Too classy.

 

[rocK`]

That costume has made me fear Karin's hands.

We don't know the time but if I was a betting man, then I would think it's when this patch drops which is 29th August.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Guile hasn't looked right in any modern SF game IMO, a shame as he looked badass in the SF1 days.

Guile debuted in SF2.

 

[Tizoc]

Celebrate a 30th anniversary with 4 costumes from characters with little relation to each other? O... Ok?

Ibuki works for Karin in SF5.
Guile and Dictator have been enemies since forever.

 

[Rymuth]

Guile debuted in SF2.

To some people, that's their SF1

 

[Lulubop]

Guile debuted in SF2.

You're wrong, he was in sf1. He did look really bad ass too.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Guile and Dictator have been enemies since forever.

Indeed.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Honestly these costumes are super neat. Some of the best ones in the game so far.

 

[lucebuce12]

To some people, that's their SF1

If they really wanted to honour SF1 then they'd bring back the character that's been with SF since the beginning.

A TRUE veteran, one of the villains in fact. One of the best fighters this series has ever seen, a character that gave one of the greatest SF players of all time their time to shine by displaying their character loyalty and understanding of the character.

They already brought back a SF1 vet in the form of Birdie, now they need to bring back the most requested character. The character that can single handedly save the sales of SFV. I am of course, talking about Gen.

 

[nded]

talking about Gen.

I'm down. He could be like reverse Fang and need to land hits to keep his health from depleting.

 

[Xeteh]

Then you look at ED, and Kolin. Awful janky looking characters.

Are you drunk?

 

[UncleMeat]

Ya I noticed that right away! Cool costumes though.

 

[RedAssedApe]

who cares about guile. look at the guy with blades in his feet!

 

[Jaded Alyx]

who cares about guile. look at the guy with blades in his feet!

Such a cool name too.

 

[lucebuce12]

I'm down. He could be like reverse Fang and need to land hits to keep his health from depleting.

Wouldn't Reverse FANG just be a good character that can do damage?

Like Necalli?

 

[jett]

Ironically, Guile's old mirrored flags would be considered correct according to U.S. Military uniform regulations which state that the star field should always be oriented forwards (in the direction the person is facing) regardless of which arm the flag patch is on.

What's curious is this is only correct for SF2 Guile. Guess it was just a happy accident.

 

[Bob Coffee]

definitely buying ojou's costume day1. ohohohohohohoho.

 

[Kaleinc]

Bipson in a hazmat suit with seamless sleeves-gloves? What a train wreck lol.
Whoever is on the last pic has right hand for the job.

 

[ArjanN]

Celebrate a 30th anniversary with 4 costumes from characters with little relation to each other? O... Ok?

You'd think the original world warriors would each get a costume. Or that the costumes would be themed to alternate designs that were passed over to get what we had today.

Well, if anything, maybe there's another batch that'll be revealed later. Should be some fun color variations with these outfits.

Well, there's probably more coming, but also let's be real anniversaries don't actually mean anything.

 

[nded]

Wouldn't Reverse FANG just be a good character that can do damage?

Nah, that would be an anti-Fang or just a non-Fang.

 

[LakeEarth]

Now if they'd only give Birdie another costume beyond the base three he started with. And Dhalsim. And FANG.... And Balrog... and Urien... for godsake Capcom!

 

[Zero-ELEC]

who cares about guile. look at the guy with blades in his feet!

He's so cool, and is secretly Guile's brother!

 

[Rymuth]

He's so cool, and is secretly Guile's brother!

Speaking of brother...I recently learned Ken and Guile are brothers-in-law.

My whole life is a lie...

 

[lucebuce12]

Yup.

Their wives are sisters.

 

[Village]

Then you look at ED, and Kolin. Awful janky looking characters.

You fuckin crazy

 

[Teh Lurv]

I guess since this is the anniversary of SF1 technically they could have released a Nostalgia costume for Ryu where he has red hair and slippers. I don't think anyone actually wants that, though.

Capcom homages SF1 Ryu with one of the palette swaps of his story mode costume:

 

[lucebuce12]

You fuckin crazy

Why you gotta tempt me with red head Kolin

 

[kingslunk]

You'll get more. Guaranteed.

but when?

 

[Tizoc]

Pfft that's nothing, you know that dog in the Bay area stage in Final Fight?

It's friends with Guile's pet dog.

Spoiler

No really it is canon

Capcpom take this shit seriously.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I always thought Ryu was a natural redhead who decided to dye his hair brown for whatever reason.

The red hair also gives credence to the theory that Akuma is his father.

 

[dragonzdogma]

Why you gotta tempt me with red head Kolin

LOL- sorry to quote you like this- but you are in every SFV thread and I wanted to ask you,
what is the latest leak information on SFV?

Will they add any extra modes,super mode,arcade mode and what are the rumored characters that will be announced?

EDIT: And since I suck at the game and spent all my easy 600000 FM,
could I create a new PSN account and earn that easy 600000 FM or will the SFV server know it's the same playstation 4?

Thanks.

 

[BackwardCap]

They don't care that it's an anniversary, they'd release these costumes anyway. Why not give something to the player base instead of selling cosmetics off the back burner.

 

[SAB CA]

Ibuki works for Karin in SF5.
Guile and Dictator have been enemies since forever.

But as a "celebrate SF" set? I'll give you Bison and Guile, sure, but Karin and Ibuki definitely aren't the characters that make me think "YEAH, SF!", y'know? My first though was that they may be trying to use characters that are relevant to each of the different series of SF ( SF2 Reps, A SF3 Rep, An Alpha series Rep, etc)... at least that seems like a thought that honors the series as a whole.

Well, there's probably more coming, but also let's be real anniversaries don't actually mean anything.

Eh, it means your brand survived and stayed relevant for X amount of years. Mobile and Freemium style games play up anniversaries in so many big ways. It's a good opportunity for a company that appears "greedy" to Have a lot of events and discounts, to try to make sure those that stuck with them, will stick with them even longer.

Ahhh, thought there was a reference to it in this game too, but thought I might have just been thinking about plain brown hair Alpha Ryu.

 

[Neoxon]

Then you look at ED, and Kolin. Awful janky looking characters.

lolwut?

 

[Lulubop]

He ain't coming back bruh

 

[JusDoIt]

lolwut?

I never noticed Ed is wearing a cravat in his default. That's the most hilarious detail in all of SFV.

 

[Gunslinger]

Looks like the datamined information was correct. That means the arcade mode and all other modes might be correct too.

 

[Megawarrior]

Then you look at ED, and Kolin. Awful janky looking characters.

Except they look good too.

Also ibuki really is coming for chun li's wig in the costume department. The sales must be good.

 

[Lulubop]

Looks like the datamined information was correct. That means the arcade mode and all other modes might be correct too.

Indeed, hopefully

 

[dragonzdogma]

Looks like the datamined information was correct. That means the arcade mode and all other modes might be correct too.

Where can I read about the rest of the datamined information?

 

[TRUE ORDER]

Good design, really diggin Karin's one.

 

[kirblar]

What's curious is this is only correct for SF2 Guile. Guess it was just a happy accident.

It'd be cool if they restored that.

* Arcade mode (with Bonus stages)
* Extra battle mode
* Dojo mode
* Critical Art select
* "V-Canceling"
* Buffed V-Reversals
* More classic stages
* Sagat and Sakura are the first Season 3 characters (according to same guy that leaked Season 2 characters) and Sagat's nearing completion so will probably launch in December
* Some other characters in development include Q, Viper, Oro, and Necro

You can make more accounts but the FM you earn will be tied to those accounts. You won't see any of it shared with a previous account.

You fuckin crazy
