Support NeoGAF

[robotzombie]

SMH couldnt yall be unpredictable for once

but everyone was predicting it was Taylor

 

[NoctisVsStar]

You're wrong. Every SF roster should just be Sagat with a different costume.

And for people who are going "lol garbage character", they redesigned Kolin's face when she was released as a character even though she had a much more prominent role than Ed.

Next season they'll bring out the sagat and sakura's of the world.

Atleast it would be balanced then, right?

 

[Village]

He's the protege of Balrog...a.k.a. Dr Dre.

This stuff writes itself.

Hmmm

Honestly considering modding his theme to be spaghetti

 

[- J - D -]

I hope this dude is like Steve Fox but with psycho powers.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Surprised since he didn't have a 3D model just those shitty Bengus 2017 drawings.

..?
Were do you think the OP image is from? He clearly has a model and in fact had one for 10 months now.

 

[JayEH]

Pls be 100% charge.

 

[BlizzKrut]

It's not the same as the playable one is going to be though.

 

[Nocturno999]

Interesting. I hope he gets redesigned though.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Nah. Neon Sagat's moves would be more difficult to read, making him the most powerful tiger of them all.

 

[Tizoc]

Nice
Looking forward to trying him out.

 

[lucebuce12]

Just the face? Kolin was completely redone.

Ahh yes, my bad. It was the entire model.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Let's stop pretending that there aren't some people who are just going to poopoo whatever Capcom announces with SFV.

There's no universe in which Ed, a character where Capcom has complete carte blanche with his moves, style, etc. isn't a new character. Yet here we are.

 

[Gai Murakumo]

I expect any side character that was in the story mode such as Ed, Azam (Rashid's Butler), the other Doll's etc. will be playable. It is only a matter of time.

 

[Calm Mind]

Slim Shadowloo

 

[Ferrio]

Any bets on how Ed will play? I'm going to guess he'll be unconventional, just being a combo of Boxer/Dictator would be phoning it in.

 

[Numb]

Pls be 100% charge.

Both Rog and Bison are charge
I expect him to be aswell but it'll be good if he was different

Bolded for emphasis.

Crazy how Ed is this gen Sakura 🤔 I mean we haven't had a younger character in ages.

 

[aly]

Neato. Gonna assume he'll be charge as well.

Not 100% though. Both have motion special and motion CA.

Would be nice to have a legit rekka character.

 

[TheTylerRob]

But seriously though why is team street fighter obsessed with blondes.

 

[Village]

[Sega]

I remember him from story mode, but seeing him as a playable character gives me a similar vibe that I got with Goh when he was introduced in VF4

 

[Marvel]

I have wanted him for ages, really excited.

 

[Pompadour]

Slim Shadowloo

Why couldn't this be his name.

 

[V-Faction]

Can't wait to see him in a couple of years:

 

[JusDoIt]

Dope! Not a huge surprise, but a relief. I'm really hoping his gameplay is some ill mix of Dictator and Boxer.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Always thought this character looked badass when he first showed up in Virtual Fighter. Got that Yamazaki vibe going.

 

[Akainu]

Barebones op

Why'd i think erectile disfunction when i saw that?

 

[Piers]

Ah yes, the guy that stood next to Balrog.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

I dig when Capcom shout outs someone from the FGC with a character name. That has to be pretty cool for PR Rog.

 

[SneakersSO]

Ed is gonna look very different from his campaign model, fyi. Remember, he is Bison's next incarnation, and if you played through the campaign, you know what happens.

 

[BadWolf]

Design is okay, gotta see gameplay.

 

[Sega]

I hated him at first. I thought he was an edgelord, and that they were just trying to be Tekken. I felt like they were giving in to Tekken's popularity at the time. But yeah, looking back now, I can see the Yamazaki vibe and have warmed up to him more.

 

[Numb]

Not 100% though. Both have motion special and motion CA.

True
Rog got it in an update for some reason

 

[shadow_shogun]

Damn...that's pretty disappointing. Oh well, 3 more to go.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Looks like he's designed to fill the "cute boy" role - like Eliot in DoA.

I dont really like these characters. I'll just keep hoping for more hot girls or tough guys instead.

 

[7Th]

Considering how lazy they've been I'm expecting Azam to be another of the DLC characters.

 

[Blueblur1]

Yeah, I expect him to look like a grown man. I believe it was mentioned somewhere that he's growing at a fast rate which explains his teenager appearance when he looked like a little kid in Balrog's SFIV ending.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Egg?

 

[The Lone Dragon]

I thought they giving us new characters not just characters that showed up on story mod.

You do realize that story mode debuted...in THIS game, right?

Characters who appeared for the first time in story mode are still new in SF5, because STORY MODE ITSELF first appeared in SF5.

None of these characters have ever been playable before in any game before this.

what is lazy about it? what would be lazy about Azam being a DLC character? please explain it

 

[Skilletor]

Why would it be lazy for a character that debuted in SF5 to later be playable in SF5?

Azam would be dope because he'd be another gief-type grappler.

I mean yun and yang also filled the handsome young dudes role.

I like variants in body types. I wish there were more.

It's better than another meathead that's for sure.

 

[Data West]

looks like a real edgelord

 

[Kadey]

It's the kid from Evil Within. Aris is going to have a field day.

 

[Night Terror]

I wonder if he is going to be older... Isn't he supposed to be growing up at a faster rate?
