Makoto was in SF4

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
M. Bison trailer for Street Fighter V
- Thread starter Formless
- Start date
I'm going to be that guy and ask.
If you didnt even play enough to know who was in the last installment of the game, why do you care who's in the next?
Nah I still want Makoto in SFV, she's awesome. Listen I love SF but SF4 felt like a celebration of the SF2 era and I don't want SFV to be like that too and have it's own identity which to me means more new characters and forgotten characters with some returning favs.
Didn't play past SSF4.
I can never understand why people want Ingrid. She's such a terrible design and feels out of place in the SF universe.
But, she was in SSF4.

I want Juri to return, Ibooty to return, Abel can come too so I see more get double peed. Hawk should return just for my friend ilovepcp. The rest is a mix up. I am partial to Viper because she don't play SF but people hate her 
Yeah I know it's just been a very long time. Forgot is all. SF4 series just didn't leave a lasting impression on me. But I love how SFV looks and I'm definitely ready for more SF, glad I left the SF4 vehicle quick. Also yeah Ingrid is kinda lame character design, my mistake but bring on Pullum from EX and Simone from Canon Spike
Ryu - trained warrior from Japan who travels the world learning different martial arts
Zangief - extremely strong world class russian wrestler
Guile - America military trained combat expert
Ingrid - Ballet psycho powered schoolgirl
..... naw man, she fits

Karin makes more sense than Ingrid and we already have Sakura for the schoolgirl, so far SF just have to fill the spot for the moe/loli girl.
Agreed.
I feel that way about all schoolgirls, though. I hate that trope and would think nothing of value was lost if every little girl in a skirt disappeared from fighters immediately.

This is going to be the game Haggar is in.
Believe. Haggar and Alex as grapplers for the initial set.
I can see more of the classic SF2 characters making it in in subsequent versions.
My main characters are Balrog, Oni, and Ryu, and there's no way the former two are making it in. So looks like I'll be Ryu-ing it up at the onset.

Sakura lost me when she became 20 and decided that outfit is her gi. Capcom needs to drop that.
Although I like Karin as well, she happens to be a licensed character, I believe.
Don't shoot me if I'm wrong, guys
This.
Made sense for the time, and at the time, when I was 16, schoolgirls didn't bother me much. I'm 34 and Sakura isn't 16 anymore. Get out of that skirt.
In general I'm not super worried about the roster. It's probably the last thing I'm worried about, in fact. There are enough good characters in the franchise that it'll be hard for them to not have me satisfied. They also added a shitton of characters over the course of SF4's lifespan from all different entries so an expansive cast is a given. With the gameplay concepts we've seen so far, even a disappointing roster from a character standpoint might be quite exciting gameplay wise.

Haggar definitely deserves to be in the game.

I think she didnt even have other outfit outside her future self sports teacher when she quits following ryu.

Time for Capcom to redesign Sakura if they keep her in. Eff the classic style.

Why would you expect her outfit to change when no one elses standard outfit changes?

Chun's was redesigned in Alpha.

Well he's not the worst (that'd be Rufus). Personally it's between Abel and Juri for me, but for different reasons.
In Abel's case, he has the most classic look. However there isn't enough stylized variation on his particular style. It just makes him seem a tad too generic. Juri has style in spades but (and this despite the fact I like looking at my ladies) she seems a tad bit over-sexualized. This is with a combination of things in mind, such as the pants exposing her butt and crotch, and her dialog with all those sexual innuendos. Other SF girls are quite sexy too but they have some class with it that Juri lacks.
TBF, seeing as how she's the first seriously evil female antagonist, I figure Capcom felt a need to push that so she could compete with the bad boys, and the first thing most people new to that do is crank up the sex factor. It's a bit of a rookie mistake and I hope they try another stab at that kind of female antagonist in the future, if only to see if they can do one with the intensity of a Bison or Akuma but without the need to essentially be wearing a bikini*

Won't mind if the mods do that however
Well she's not as bad as Rufus, but yeah quite out-of-place for a SF design. Would be right at home in Blazblue, however.
I see what you did there.

Charlie and Bison just changed appearances.
Ingrid - Ballet psycho powered schoolgirl
..... naw man, she fits
Who's also a god or something if I remember right.
Because it kinda makes sense for the others to keep wearing theirs. Sakura is supposed to be older now but she's still wearing her old schoolgirl outfit. The current game takes place even more into the future so it would be even crazier for her and Karin to still wear their old outfits.
If its an iconic thing then I hope they just make them unlockable outfits but make their defaults brand new to suit their age.

They went right back to the classic style once it was time for the mainline series. They just seem to take the approach that they'll leave the classic outfits as default and give a bunch of alts for those that want a different look for each character.
Everybody else started as an adult. Their outfits make sense no matter the age.
The same can't be said of Sakura.

Exactly
Ken also had a slight change from Alpha as well.
It's not out of the ordinary for them to put a change.
SolidSnakex

Those are more tweaks than big changes. The design for Charlie's outfit is exactly the same, they just changed the color. And Bison's outfit is so similar that you had people complaining earlier in this thread about them not changing his look. They do tweaks to designs here and there. Like how they changed Ryu and Ken's gloves to look more like MMA gloves.

^ No boxing character equals massive fail. Given the timeline it'll possibly be Dudley if they were to use an existing one. He's a damn popular character.
Otherwise your list kind of mirrors the leaked list, which is good.

If Haggar gets in, then it'll automatically be the best Street Fighter ever.
Balrog or Dudley will likely come as DLC, but I don't think either one is a big enough deal to make the initial cut. Alpha and Alpha 2 didn't have a boxer, so it's not exactly necessary to include one from the start.
I never cared but somehow gaf reeled me in
horrendously inaccurate
Dhalsim, Zangief and Sagat can sit this one out.
I'm pleasantly surprised by the design. It has the same idea as the better/simpler MK redesigns (ignoring the major art style differences):
I really hope other veterans get a similar treatment. Especially Cody. He kinda was my main in SF4, but I rather have no Cody than handcuffed prison uniform Cody.
As for non-SF4 veterans I wanna see: Alex and Haggar. Just skip Zangief and there is place for both of them.
I was honestly expecting Alex in Ultra SF4 since he was in Marvel.
They can easily replace with Go, his badass dad. He can get Dan's moves with more Muay Thai, maybe some of Adon's moves since I don't see him coming back.
Other similar replacements: Geki instead of Vega/Claw (with Ibuki/Guy influences?) and Retsu instead of Makoto (with Gen influences?).
Fake edit: We're making rosters now? I'm ok with that *goes for a few hours*

This would totally ruin Dan. He exists to be a joke character (at least personality/story wise) and that's why we love him.

Glad I'm not the only one who had that thought.

IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
I don't really care whoever got in but I just hope that we are getting good variety of characters for initial roster. I seriously doubt that I would ever get my main back so that's what I get for being loyal to certain characters.
Are we completely sure that we are getting "Killer Instinct" updates for Street Fighter V or what?
I could see that they might hold few popular characters for Season 2 (and Season 3) so people could buy future updates.

Nobody's sure, but a leaker gave us several bits of information that have turned out to be true so far, so people are leaning toward that part being correct.
Hahaha. That decor seemed familiar.
idk about Sagat... The fact that Bison is back might mean we might see the other 3 King's. And the fact that they are more interested in doing a story mode might definitly mean they will return.
my list is something like...
1. Ryu
2. Chun Li
3. Charlie
4. Bison
5. Ken
6. Alex
7. Karin
8. Sagat
9. Juri?
10. Gill or Urien
11. Guile
12. Sakura
13. Cammy
14. Q
15. Akuma
14. NEW
15. NEW
16. NEW

Sagat is out I think, They are really trying to focus on the Story and move it forward. With that said, Sagat really has nothing to offer, he was once the bad and now the game has too many bad guys to deal with as is.
If they take him out it could open the way to change Ken into a Ken/Sagat hybrid character. More kick based moves "think SF3" along with shoryuken.

Er.. what? I have no idea what just happened in that sentence haha.
And when I said that I was including the characters that have been revived too, I never said "the non-revisited SF1 characters are badass", I was talking about the whole lot. And if you're gonna compare Joe to anyone, compare him to Cody. Joe was originally going to be in SFA3 but they decided to replace him with Cody. They both also have that same airbourne kick. Not to mention the whole brash street fighter with attitude trope.
Do you have a source for that? That's interesting.
They could be in the story mode and not be playable characters.

I hope Akuma makes it in.
