I don't pay much attention to the competitive side of things, but it is nice to see players using him and making strides.

I just think he's a cool character. I actually think if his default look got a bit of a makeover he'd be more popular too. (And still have his original outfit as an alt.)

I think the Blanka matchup alone ruins him competitively. It's that bad.

If Blanka wasn't in the game he'd be pretty good in Ultra.

 

[Swarna]

There are three different groups that are split on his ethnicity.

1. Black British
2. British Indian
3. Who Care? He's friggin gentleman!

I'm in team #2 personally.

 

[Sesha]

4. Half Black, half Indian.

 

[Filth]

Why do people want blanka in the game. Isn't Nash blanka? He's got the green arm and face in this game.

 

[ChouGoku]

I really hope they keep Makoto in

 

[Mister Wolf]

Please don't let Birdy be the only black male in the game.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I think Nash is Blanka only in the JCVD movie

 

[Filth]

I think Nash is Blanka only in the JCVD movie

Then why does he have a green arm and green face nowwww

 

[Skilletor]

I hate that people actually think this is a thing because of that terrible movie.

Uh that was never canon.
That was something Capcom USA just followed. Capcom of Japan has always had Blanka and Nash be 2 separate unrelated characters.

At best they'd jokingly hint about the connection from the movie in a few games, etc.

Finally, the character has always been Nash in Japan even when the JCVD movie was released. It was only recently that they agreed to merge the names together as Charlie Nash.

Dark T-Hawk.

Mark it down.

Sorry, Sakura already has a handle on that title. You need to find something else.

No Dark, Evil, or Violent!

 

[ElFly]

I am hoping for Good Akuma and Good Bison.

Native Hawk...

sorry

You need to go beyond. I was thinking more of Pacifist Dan.

Spoiler

When's Nothingness Ryu?

Native Hawk...

Spoiler

sorry

I take offense.

 

[direct_quote]

Drunken Ryu.

 

[KAL2006]

Anyone else prefer ultra or super versions over steady DLC characters and balance patches? Looking at MK steady patches actually ruins fighting games. I would rather have a large 15-20 dollars DLC every year with 5 new characters and balance like they are doing now with SFIV. Ofcourse keep it to one disk. Just update Via DLC.

I'd like a new balance update and 4 new characters released every 6 months. It would keep things fresh but not at a pace where it's hard to keep up.

 

[Renekton]

When's Nothingness Ryu?

LoL what does that power even do

I'd like a new balance update and 4 new characters released every 6 months. It would keep things fresh but not at a pace where it's hard to keep up.

That schedule will be havoc for the competitive scene.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

LoL what does that power even do

It's the enlightenment that allows Ryu to tap into his powers from the satsui no hado without going evil

 

[LeleSocho]

I want to see Ryu post Oro training with a fighting style between the two.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

I want to see Ryu post Oro training with a fighting style between the two.

That's not gonna be until Street Fighter VI though, because doesn't Ryu finish his training after 3S?

 

[ShinMaruku]

Sean tho?

Some Brazilians say they ain't black. So your mileage may vary

 

[Geminosity]

I liked how Abel played compared to rest of them. Juri was ok, but there was a lack of finesse that I was hoping with a character.

Honestly, what are the chances we see Abel again? Absolutely loved maining him IV and I think he would be awesome in SFV engine. But seeing that poll of character popularity definitely sunk my heart a bit. I'm betting on Nash's heavy involvement in the story of this game (since he was the basis of Abel and Guile's entire motivations in IV) would bolster Abel's chances a bit.

- Abel : may be possible, but no very popular, and if they want the brawler/grappler archetype odds are they will go for Alex instead (popular and SF3 main protagonist).

Abel had an interesting play style but his character was boring.

I dabbled a bit with Abel just to see what his moveset was like and it clicked with me pretty well, but like a lot of people his character design does absolutely nothing for me whatsoever. It just makes me seethe that they took this interesting playstyle and decided to attach it to mr forgettable over the original design: a design that doesn't have too much representation in the cast compared to the hulking gi boyz. I honestly feel it would've been much more popular than what we got.

Gah... sorry... I can't help but rant about it when people bring it up. It just aggrivates me so much more than it should XD

 

[Crocodile]

You can tell Dudley is the only black character that isn't racistly portrayed because people keep insisting that he actually isn't black.

This is funny/sad because its true LOL

Anyway, just to double check, the next character reveal (with most signs pointing to a brand new female character) is at SDCC this Thursday correct?

 

["God's Beard!"]

4. Half Black, half Indian.

wat

Sometimes I like cake when it's half strawberry, half fluffy.

 

[Lulubop]

No Sean is black, this cannot be argued.

 

[Greenzxy]

Please don't let Birdy be the only black male in the game.

Yea, one of the things I liked about third strike was how diverse the cast looked.

I was hoping V would take a similar route, bringing in a bunch of new faces, but with characters like Cammy, Sakura, Karin, Juri, etc seemingly coming in, the future is looking kind of bleak.

 

[alstein]

That Fem Abel would have only had 950hp and stun...

Who likes strawberry or fluffy cake, tho?

It's all about that chocolate.

You know we should really tweet or bring to Capcom's attention that they need to drop the vagina tax (pardon the expression).

 

[Max Knight]

The only character I require is Akuma.

As far as returning characters that aren't in SFIV, I'd like to see Alex make a comeback. Oro might be a good addition too.

I really like SF3. So sue me.

Nash looks cool; hopefully the newcomers can match him design-wise.

 

[Geminosity]

Yea, one of the things I liked about third strike was how diverse the cast looked.

Wow, I don't think in-game urien was ever that dark. It's kind of shame that the darkest skin-tones don't see any representation at all.
Also surprised to see that Q's neck doesn't have the same pale tones as the ones used in the in-game artwork. This pic seems to have a much better set of diversity than the actual game went for XD

That Fem Abel would have only had 950hp and stun...

so true @.@

 

[CountAntonius]

Would it be possible for Dark Remy to be even more brooding?

 

[Negaduck]

Necro with a v-trigger to give him stretchy libs like dhalsim would be cool. Kinda like martian manhunter

I would have been totally cool if Abel ended up with that design as long as the moveset stayed the same and they got rid of the stupid shoes she has on in that pic. Abel's playstyle was extremely engaging and if they had stuck with the original character design I agree she would have been more popular and therefore would have a better chance of reappearing in SFV. Unfortunately she probably would have fallen victim to that weird sexist thing that Capcom has with the female characters in SFIV where none of them had anything higher than 950 health.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Androgynous boys can have 1000 stamina. Hell, Remy has 1120.

 

[Ryce]

I never realized how similar Dudley and Hugo look.

It's not sexist. Hell, its more related to bodymass than it is gender. If Capcom put women with comparable weight to the male cast they would have similar health.

 

[Bardiche]

Looking at that fake list, which contained Lucia, makes me realize how awesome it would be if we had a cast filled with Final Fight characters.

Haggar
Cody
Guy
Lucia
Carlos
Maki
Rolento
Sodom
Dean

Make it happen, Capcom!

 

[Skilletor]

That Fem Abel would have only had 950hp and stun...

Fem Abel would have been smaller and faster.

No Hugo and Poison?

 

[Inuhanyou]

Capcom should be little more creative with Sakura's costume since she should be out of school during Street Fighter 5 timeline. Again, Capcom probably would find something to make an excuse for it if Sakurai still wear her current costume.

Luckily, Sakura already has a costume that she uses in her 20s when she graduates and becomes a teacher

They even showed it at the very end of USF4

If she shows up in this game, she's most likely going to be wearing this outfit and and having longer hair

I hope that happens. I wanna see that new outfit in action.

The potato life is rough

 

[Bardiche]

We've seen Hugo and Poison in USFIV, although the same could be said about Cody, Guy, and Rolento.
On second thought, remove Cody and Guy, and replace them with El Gado and Roxy. Rolento will be the only exception since he's amazing and I'm biased.

 

[Geminosity]

You know we should really tweet or bring to Capcom's attention that they need to drop the vagina tax (pardon the expression).

agreed, though I think they actually did the unthinkable and gave both She-hulk and tron bonne above average health in MvC3

It's not sexist. Hell, its more related to bodymass than it is gender. If Capcom put women with comparable weight to the male cast they would have similar health.

As Sixteen-bit points out:

Androgynous boys can have 1000 stamina. Hell, Remy has 1120.

SF3's resident pretty-boy isn't exactly a hulking mountain of muscle, heck Seth could crush him with one of his biceps and he's sub 1000 XD

Fem Abel would have been smaller and faster.

Faster? Not in those shoes they wouldn't XD

 

[direct_quote]

Naw, keep Guy and Cody. They will probably be DLC like in SFxT. I wonder what window they will release dlc in, 6 months after release?

And does anyone know if HP will be treated like SF4, or will it be even across the board?

That's actually a guy, not a girl.
