Other than Abigail how would Zeku be a reskin just because he's Guy's teacher doesn't mean he won't have a unique move set

Good
Yasss lets gooo exactly what it needs.
The difference is that some people are coming forward backing the SSFV & Season 3 rumors. Still, Riku's credibility (or lack thereof) is something to consider.
The 6 characters are likely Season 3.
I feel like from simply a branding perspective, this makes a lot of sense. There are people who didn't pick up Street Fighter 5 who might if it had a new box and a slightly new name, along with new characters and a fresh coat of paint.
As a casual player, I'd like an excuse to fire it back up.

Case in point: Maki.
Further case in point: Should've been Maki instead of Zeku but it's all good
But Valle Denied it, and Born free didn't even know the s2 characters so how the hell does he know all this?

Maybe Season 3 can also make F.A.N.G a good character?

the angry GAF user inside me would say:
"lol - fucking liars"
but this is the right move to do, so go for it
maybe even multiplatform this time around if they're already doing a revamp?

Abigail, Menat, & Zeku were leaked last October by some guy on EventHubs alongside Akuma, Kolin, & Ed. The thing is that nobody noticed at the time.
About the rumour itself, I'd love it to be true just for that S3 roster, but there's just too many pinches of salt with this one for me to believe in it. Add the fact that we won't even know for sure until S3 gets announced at maybe PSX later this year, and I just can't in all honesty believe this, no matter how much I want it to be true.

The things I would do to replace Abigail aka notHugo with Haggar....

Oro and Q would be so hype. Taking this with a huge grain of salt though.
Huh? They want new characters because they won't be reskins. They want to try new things but have some familiarity rather than changing an old characters moveset
Zeku being in probably makes Guy less of a possibility anyway
There's no way it isn't a free update if true.

Now that I've had some time to process my thoughts I wonder if we'll be getting more costumes for certain characters "cough cough" (Urien) "cough cough"

As I've said in the SFV OT, the upgrades sound great, but that supposed S3 DLC roster makes me cry. Sagat and Q are cool, but there's no one in that group that really gets me revved up. I'm hoping that that's not the correct set of characters. (I fully expect Sagat and Sakura regardless, but I need something a bit more exciting than those six to get on board.)

Cool, time to drop Cammy for Sakura, my true main. Unless Capcom screws up her design somehow
One could argue that Valle is downplaying the rumor & going for a "lucky guess" option select. It could really go either way, but Riku's.....reputation.....has me skeptical.

At ease.
I'd love this to be true. Mostly because I already love the game and still play it a lot. Necro is one of my favourite characters (the only one I learned to use in 3rd Strike) so it'd be great to see him back.
I'm very keen to see a UI overhaul because it's a bit ugly and basic at the moment.

Did he back it up by saying he's heard from a source this is a true or does he just want this to really happen because he's a huge Street Fighter fan with a Street Fighter YouTube channel.
Edit: Nevermind, saw the tweet.
Personally, I haven't seen anything convincing that this is happening. The guy took a likely legit leak (S2 cast) and combined it with a bunch of stuff he wishes will happen.
Didn't they scream this would never happen?
At least this thread might show Capcom calling it "Super SFV" will cause a backlash.

could never

All you need to do is imagine Q in HD getting the same treatment as Urien and he'll be a lot of players main in no time

Didn't you say super would never happen, I thought you were a capcom spokesperson
Didn't they scream this would never happen?
I'm cool with it if it's a free update for everyone.
