Street Fighter V |OTVIIII| New Generation - Fighting Game Is Something So Great

The SFI arcade path having four opponents practically confirms it.

I guess it will be Ryu/Ken, Birdie, Zeku (or maybe Balrog as "Mike"), Sagat.

Can't wait for them to retcon the ending to the SFII tournament for the 80th time. SFIV's anime prologues were supposed to be the definitive conclusion.


They're not launching the first S3 character a month before S3.

Whatchu talking bout willis

Akuma was released on December.

Zeku isn't SF1.

Geki as an alt-skin for Vega could lead to him getting into the SF1 ladder though.

AE is different, there are a boatload of changes coming with it. They're not going put an S3 character into the S2 framework when they're blowing it all sky high in January.

Same reason Ed got delayed due to CFN.

Now that I think about it, maybe Extra Battle is Capcom's answer to the Loot Box system (with the incentive to keep playing to earn costumes & whatnot).

maybe an unfinished Sagat is in the arcade mode (like Urien in the Story mode) and the full character will released at the end of the month/the following month

edit:
S3 launches in January under the name AE.


or that

yeah, it could be way better than loot box system

Man, I wish we could get new trials with Arcade Edition but nothing indicates that they are willing to do that.

A reworked survival mode is needed too but not even Capcom wants to touch that cesspool.

January - Sagat
March- Sakura
May - Makoto
July - Maki
September - E.Honda
October - Gen

and a 2 month delay for the july character
LMAO at four Japanese characters.

National diversity is honestly a concern of mine. The balance hasn't been great so far, even with the stages.

So the Season 3 release timing might be:

January - Sagat
March
May
July
September
October

Thoughts on this?

December - Sagat
Feb - Sakura
April -
June -
August -
October -

But I do predict one of the character would be delayed since it happened to both seasons.

I came up with my personal S3 list thinking of characters who have realistic chances and/or were rumored. I’d like to see:

Sagat
Sakura
Necro
C. Viper
Makoto
Fei Long

Maybe swap out one or two of the bottom half characters for a new character or other existing character.

Same here. I want to see more countries to be repped in the game to push World Warriors agenda more further. Gimme me Hakan, please!
 
3 seasons without a new true grappler would be so disappointing to me

Am I missing something here?

What are Abigail and Laura?

Both of these characters cease to function without the threat of their various command grabs. Laura's mixups become weak (just block until she runs out of EX meter). Abigail's run becomes worthless (just stand block). These characters are "true" grapplers.

Very impressive. This truly is an Acade Edition.

Watching some clips from the panel and here's a nice quote from it that I transcribed and think is a decent summary of Arcade Mode from Capcom's mouth itself:

Nice work man. Although I’ve never been an advocate for Arcade Mode this does sound brilliant and I’m happy for those that have finally got it.

Necro & Crimson Viper won't be in Season 3 according to Flowtron, but we may get them eventually some other way.
