While the summaries some posted are appreciated, I wish I spoke French so that I could see for myself how the video's creator comes to each of his conclusions. All I'm getting now is hearsay on top of hearsay.
And as for predicting SFV's initial number of characters based off of SFIV's initial numbers, I think that may be a bit foolish since the landscape of fighting games has changed so much since '08. I can easily imagine SFV shipping with anywhere between 10-24 characters.

Look, if we're getting any guest characters or whatever up in this there is only one choice that makes a damn bit of sense.

Seriously though, who the fuck would miss Honda is he wasn't in?
And Necro is much better than Dhalsim, his animations do the stretchy guy archetype much better.
It's much better animation, how he puts momentum into his limbs to stretch them.
Sim > Necro. He played so goofy, had electricity and didn't fit in the 3rd strike system.
I saw this earlier lol. A lot of his tweets kill me.

So basically, Allen's a lock for any possible guest character DLC. That's all I needed to hear!
Unless they follow that model, Killer Instinct should not be a point of comparison.
I doubt they'll follow that model.
And Killer Instinct's completely different regardless.
I mean prior to the new game, there were only like 12 characters or something.

You laugh but this was literally half the SF roster in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter.

holy shit. perfect.
The greatest of fighting game plots.
He just wanted Ryu-senpai to notice him in that way
Fucking do it, Capcom.
yes capcom, do it
I agree.
I was waiting for this one.
Isn't Assassin's Fist canon?
Female Bob like equivalent exclusive for US imminent. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ok guys I know you're all hyped for SFV with the announcement and coming CPTF live demo.
BUT shouldn't we think about making a list of wanted features for SFV from and for the community and TOs? If this is still early in development, shouldn't it be a good time to give them suggestions? We shouldn't always demand devs to ask us and be more proactive.
Like better training mode, user made custom tutorials, highlighting coming tournaments, championship mode from vanilla SF4, ladder matches, PS3 sticks on PS4 etc.
I think that would be a much more productive use of time rather than speculating about rosters and gameplay elements.

I hope there are no guest characters. Please we do not need that shit invading every franchise. I don't think Sony would request such a thing either as it might compromise the integrity.
Would rather those resources go towards exploring another fighting style. Been thinking of making a thread about fighting styles people want represented in the new characters.

Oh shit, now's her chance.
I wonder if they'll bring back any other Capcom All Star OCs.

Speaking of fighting styles, I hope they can somehow save at least some of the SFxTK Tekken characters' styles.
I want a bear so bad.
A lot of work must be going into V-Trigger. Now I'm hoping it's the equivalent of

I would consider playing if they added Ingrid.
It took me a while to understand what this is referencing.

MS should commission an all Namco cast, Capcom made 2D fighter.
I'm serious btw, I really like the designs and novelists of the Tekken cast in SFxTK.
Ono said when asked if they'd use Panty Raid they'd use whatever is right for that project.
Plus we don't know where Panty Raid is in development, since deep down is pretty much encircled with question marks.

I don't remember Kuma being my kind of character in SFxTK, but I'm of the belief that bears improve everything so I support your cause.

It's a stupid idea. But it's funny we get it.
Game breaking you could say.
I'm all for a huge roster. I wanna see everyone back especially Q. The more characters the better. Always
