Street Fighter V Systems Trailer and hands-on impressions

Twelve's playstyle is unique but I don't care for his look or story. Aliens--or whatever he is--also don't really fit in the Street Fighter world. The character was just very forgettable to me. *shrug*

My wishlist order:
Rose >>>>>>>Haggar=Guile=Cody.

I have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed.

Birdie was completely unexpected, and never really cared for him. Not really a fan poll favorite so I think it'll be hard to predict their choices. I like Dudley much better if they're going for a British character. Perhaps playstyle is going to be the determining factor for the initial roster. Gotta save some heavy hitters for future updates too.

I do like having more character-related or country- themed stages rather than a lot of the generic SFIV ones. Hope that continues.
 
I think the critical art hit confirms need to go. They seem to do way too much damage.

I think they're as likely to happen as supers were in 4.

Since Critical Arts are tied to meter, and this is just a guess on what we've seen, the game seems to be very footsie centric, meter will most likely be used for ex moves, with Critical Arts mainly being used as a way to finish off an opponent, mount a comeback, or a big punish at the cost of all your resources, but wont be seen as much, especially at higher levels. This is just speculation however, who knows how the game will evolve.

Well, I absolutely love Blanka, and most people hate him, there's fans for every character.

I remember when sf3 dropped and it only had ryu and ken and I hated the new roster but now I kind of wish they did the same thing again (I know it'll never happen)

Twelve is a G-Mutant. A bio-weapon with a malleable body structure.

Isn't he a clone weapon made by Gill lol?

Either way I'd like to see a good mix of characters and styles for this first version of 5. Toss in a few nutty characters like Twelve or Necro, and the classic stand by's like Sagat. Mostly just to see how they would update their play styles for this day and age since the characters that returned in 4 felt very the same as their original versions.

I don't know, I'm just not interested in characters that don't visually appeal to me. Even if they have a unique play style. I like characters that fit within the serious tone of SF2 and the "cool urban" vibe of SF3. Which is why I don't care for Rufus, Fuerte, and so forth.

Assuming we're getting four new characters on release, there will be quite a few favorites that don't make the cut. In fact, I'd be totally up for a roster that matches SF4's 44 character total. Its not a detriment to me if I have to learn so many matchups, I'm going to play the game anyway. I always want lots of character variety.

Assuming that Cammy and Birdie are in, along with the rumored 16 character launch roster, then I would like to see:

Ken
Zangief
Sagat
Urien
Alex
Juri (or Maki)
+ 4 new fighters

Ryu
Chun-Li
M. Bison
Charlie Nash
Birdie
Cammy
Alex
Karin Kanzuki
Q
Urien
Rachid
Zen
Laura
[New final boss]
R. Mika/Sakura (still undecided on that one)
Oro/Final Fight character.

- One of the new characters is going to be a grappler, the other one uses charge moves.
- Gill will be DLC (tied with the story DLC)
- Ken/Guile will not be in the initial game
- Don't expect the majority of the SF4 characters to return, I expect to see Juri and someone else to make their return someday (this is a best case scenario)
- Expect new DLC characters, one with similar powers to Gill/Urien (But without the same outfits haha)

This is what I saw in my soup yersterday evening.

What a specific set of claims that reach far into the future.

Given Bryan's model in SFxT, we seem to have come pretty close to a Necro return recently, so he's not out of the list of potential returnees, but I'd be shocked to see him make the initial roster.

I don't get the hype for Karin don't like her playstyle. I prefer Yang, Abel and Feilong as the rekka characters. Also her design is doesn't appeal to me, not much of a memorable character.
 
Capcom doesn't even own the character. How would it be surprising that a character they don't own ends up missing?

They brought her back for Capcom Fighting Jam and even had her be one of the characters that represented Capcom in NAMCO X Capcom. I'm not sure why they wouldn't bring her back for a mainline SF game.

What do we think Poison's chances are? I really don't like her SF IV character model. Want something closer to her SF3 sprite.

Or maybe the decision to include the character had nothing to do with the poll?
Seriously you're all hatin' on Birdie, but then you see how he plays and you all flip a 180.

That's true! But CFJ could have been usage-due-to-past-assess as it was basically MUGEN level. Or that's probably bullshit.

As someone said on previous pages, the decision to not just throw Guile and Cammy in 3S gave us Dudley and other characters. It might be a good thing that Capcom doesn't just leave development up to a fan poll and instead puts characters in that they think will work.
