If Goku gets in before Piccolo I'm boycotting the game
Piccolo could honestly just be a Dhalsim skin.

Well they should have seen a long time ago that this game is all about Alpha characters, not III. Hope for DLC or SFVI in eight years. Ha ha.
Ha.
He looks older so does this mean this is definitely after III?
You have Ken, Ryu and Chun-Li for SFIII characters. The same number of characters in the game that actually originated in the Alpha series.
I dont care either way, but calling Ryu, Ken and Chun Li "SFIII" characters... come on now
Come on
The most popular SFIII video ever featured Ken and Chun lmao.

That doesn't negate his point.
Ok. Im going to call Drake "that Uncharted 3 character" now or Lara Croft "that character from Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness"
Its not untrue I guess

"All about Alpha", meaning returning characters that haven't been seen in a Street Fighter game since Alpha. That would be all the Alpha characters in SFV. Notice how there are zero SFIII characters in SFV?
This is why I say anyone who was hoping for Alex or any other SFIII characters have obviously not been paying attention to this game's pattern. Hope for DLC.
Ryu, Chun-Li, Bison, Cammy, Birdie*, Ken, Vega, Zangief and Dhalsim aren't exactly Alpha characters, but they are presented as being them when it suits the argument of the person saying it (Usually someone complaining about a like of SF3 characters).
I like SF3 as well but let's not ignore logic just to fit our argument. Hopefully we get some in DLC.
*I guess you can sort of argue he is I guess.
I've never heard anyone saying that those characters would be Alpha characters except for Birdie and he pretty much is Alpha character considering SF1 barely even exists.
It's a common enough statement in the roster thread. Also the post I initially replied to stated that SF5 is "all about" Alpha characters, an odd statement considering there's total of 3 in the game if you're not counting the list of characters above as being from Alpha.
Really? That statement is really dumb. Yeah SF5 is definetily not all about Alpha but all about SF2 like SF4 was. Hell even SF4 had 4 Alpha characters so it would be all about Alpha too if SF5 is all about Alpha.
For what it's worth SF5 has a better mix, it's just they have a small starting roster and a new plan to grow it out. I think the roster has good diversity and a lot of the returning characters have interesting twists to freshen them up. I would have liked to see a few characters from 3 make it in but we have DLC at least.
People complained about "Alpha being over represented" in SF4, one of the ways people took shots at it was calling it Street Fighter Alpha 4.
Oddly there are people using this same name for 5.
I am really happy that Capcom decided to give even little changes to the SF2 characters and SFV initial roster sure is more interesting than SFIV initial roster. Would have preferred more non-SF2 characters in the initial release though.
SF4 sure as hell didn't have too much Alpha characters when it was released. Saying that it was SF Alpha 4 sounds really idiotic.
