I believe Capcom mentioned something about preferring to buff the lower-tier characters rather than nerfing the higher-tier ones back at the EVO 2015 panel.

Let the season 2 hype start .
I expect to see Akuma , Sagat , Sakura for certain.
Since they will bring the hype.

I think they will. They're partnership with Sony seems to be continuing.
So they're finally putting out that missing stage.....
Yeah... I was wondering how that Temple would factor in. More content's great in my book! I'm still waiting for a bundle sale on the first Season myself, but I'm still glad to see more content's coming.
Because she's fantastic, that's why.

We need skullomania now capcpom, justice must be done! A q is fine too.
We need Jin, Heihachi or Kazuya in SFV.
I'll take Jin, thank you. His SFxT moveset was god-tier, & I actually liked his English VA (not just because Jin had the same VA as Rock from Black Lagoon, Brad Swaile).

meh... only 6 pages.
stealth SFV hate threads usually get this many pages in the first 30 minutes
Double air fireball, faster movement. Probably be some frame buffs for normals ala necalli.

Jin had a cool moveset in SFxT.
What if that concept art that Capcom released not too long ago (I posted it on the first page) was the canon version of Shin Akuma?

Stationary fireballs are the devil.

Same. Bet they have a non-weathery variant for Ryu.

You must detest F.A.N.G then
Capcom said this back in '09 as well. Didn't pan out in Super, AE, 2012, or Ultra.

To their credit though, the roster is insanely well balanced for SF5 considering it's the initial release version.

Capcom also referenced those games as problem areas and already didn't do any kneejerk balancing since release. I think it's okay to trust them.
Now they just need to announce Sakura at Capcom Cup and balance will be restored to the universe.
Here's what I'm curious about now - Akuma's Movelist
Like the other shoto's he's got a Dragon Punch, Tatsu and a Hadouken , unlike other shot's he's also got a teleport dash thing as well as the ability to throw Hadoukens in the air. Will he retain all these abilities ?
Giving the Vskill system, it seems like making his vskill the teleport would be an easy way to do things but , does he then become the only character in the game with a different Critical art (super) based on whether his Vtrigger has popped ?
I mean, it would seem obvious that his Vtrigger should just be a "shin akuma" mode (a 3 bar trigger that stays popped like Necalli, once popped his fireballs all hit twice and his damage output increases but he takes damage faster... is how I would do it) , but maybe you can only do the Raging Demon when Vtrigger is active (with it's usual oddball input structure) , otherwise he does something closer to a normal critical art super combo thing.
Either way , I'm excited to see how he plays in SFV. I've never used Akuma much myself but I know plenty of people out there do use him and I want SFV to do better going forward.

And its taken out of context by everyone on the Internet. It's their preference, but it's not a hard rule-they just want to avoid dumpster in good characters if they do have to nerfs them

As a Sim player, I detest him. Probably my worst match up in the game.
That's why I said "preferring".
Either way, Capcom has held back on doing any knee-jerk balancing adjustments, so I guess that's a plus.

I dont mind if they buff my Rashid. But most of my wins are against Ken and Ryu players, so...

Hmmmmm. Ryu's and Necalli's are different if they have V-Trigger popped, yah?
Watch them just have a chibi version of Demon unless Trigger is popped
Extremely safe, boring pick. BUT! I am still glad he is in and I'm hoping for a dramatic overhaul to further seperate him from Ryu and Ken.
Edit: Still haven't gotten that 50% off discount on the Season Pass here in NA. EU got it a couple months ago.
Will continue to wait, Capcom.

Ryu's does more damage and does stun (the only CA in the game that does) and guard breaks.
Necalli's does more damage and has a different animation.
Guile's has more hits, allows Guile to recover more quickly before the CA ends, and does more damage.
Birdie's damage all around gets increased including his CA.
How would teleport build V-gauge?
It's actually a completely different temple.So they're finally putting out that missing stage.....
The 'interviewer' has known tokido for quite a while. So he was saying it from a friendly point of view.

Yessssss!!! As well as he does with Ryu, I can't wait to see Tokido with his main again.

that's nice, what about a standard arcade mode? I'm still waiting.
I welcome more characters but I will never be happy until I get my old school vanilla Arcade Mode

Infiltration mained Akuma too.
References to Arcade Mode were found in the game's code back in October. Just gotta wait for it.
Arcade Mode was leaked to be on the way about a month ago.

Is he the first character of season 2 or just a random one until they unveil the season 2 lineup?
It's always weird to me when I see people assuming that Namco was some how blocking Capcom from using their own character.

Looks pretty similar to me... Akuma stage could be an alt version of this stage.

No confirmation yet, but most likely the first for season 2.
