Have they even patched the real money stuff into the game yet?
Either him or Ibuki.

Rog probably releasing Tuesday with maintenance for Monday. Remember June is story dlc.

They'll probably add that and the daily challenges with the big story update. It would make the June update seem even more like "the big update"
If it is not Ibuki, I am gonna be pissed.
We had just about enough of bulky man, with Alex+Guile. No need to give the next spot to Balrog.

By "same time" I mean announcement on Sunday with the release being like the day after.

I'm guessing Rog since we don't have a boxer present

Balrog next hopefully
We already know all of the characters coming this year.
- Alex (Street Fighter III: New Generation, already out as of March)
- Guile (Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, already out as of April)
- Ibuki (Street Fighter III: New Generation, likely out either this month or in July)
- Balrog (Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, likely out either this month or in July)
- Juri (Super Street Fighter IV, likely out in August)
- Urien (Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact, likely out in September)
That being said, Capcom did release some concept art of Akuma's redesign for his possible inclusion in Street Fighter V (likely in Wave 2).

Surprised me too considering Combo Breaker isn't even a premiere event (even though it should be)
You're gonna have to wait at least a year for Akuma.
As for more pressing matters, here's what we can expect from Ibuki & Balrog whenever they come out.
Ibuki
Balrog

Why do people think it might be Ibuki and not Balrog? All we have to go on right now is the order of the characters in the image Capcom released, as far as I'm aware. Alex first, Guile, second, Balrog would be next. Unless the order is actually meaningless, and then wouldn't we have the same chance of getting Jurien as we do Ibuki?

saving this for future use
Ibuki was listed before Balrog on both the PlayStation Store & Steam Shop descriptions of the Season Pass, as well as this 2016 DLC schedule.
I mean, I like that Capcom's actually doing the reveal at a tournament this time (one that should be a CPT Premiere Event next year), but I do agree that it's cutting it a bit too close.
No one has said that the characters would be released specifically in any order, right? It could just be coincidence that Guile followed Alex.
And the reveal at Combo Breaker could also be an announcement for something in June. Keep the expectations low, brehs. Always works out better that way.

Another excellent point, it could be Urien for all we know (Capcom pls). But if it ends up being Ibuki or Balrog, we know which listing to follow for the release order for the Wave 1 characters.

This has been especially bad form for Capcom with its handling of SFV. They've set out a road map for this content, and have barely been able to follow it. May is almost over and we don't even know who the next character is or when they'll release that content. No pictures, no video, no transparency at all if the content might be delayed. Just a possibility of maybe showing something the last Sunday of the month. Who the fuck is running this shit and thinking this is a good idea? There's nothing more frustrating than watching your favorite series being handled so poorly.

Yep
Every character should have a stage especially given how little effort has gone into the existing ones

Besides great gameplay SFV is a trainwreck, im so dissapointed...
I don't know how you can say they have "barely" been able to follow their road map considering all it says is we'll get a character in those months and, so far, they've followed it exactly.
I highly doubt they will ever not make their monthly DLC character release because that clearly isn't the issue (a Capcom rep said Balrog was basically done prior to release). What their issue is and why they are hesitant on releasing any info about the upcoming update is that they're trying desperately to get their Zenny Shop up and running. People got pissed in May when they announced Alex mid-month but then released him at the last moment which was due to them not being able to get the Zenny shop working. Clearly they're having the same problem so they just decided to maintain radio silence until either 1) they know it's going to work or 2) it's too late and they need to release the character for the month.

So weird that he looks so different in V when canonically it takes place before III, where Akuma looks like this:We already know all of the characters coming this year.
- Alex (Street Fighter III: New Generation, already out as of March)
- Guile (Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, already out as of April)
- Ibuki (Street Fighter III: New Generation, likely out either this month or in July)
- Balrog (Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, likely out either this month or in July)
- Juri (Super Street Fighter IV, likely out in August)
- Urien (Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact, likely out in September)

I remember all of the leaks had everyone certain Juri was on the main roster then Capcom released the Gief trailer. Expectations are the worst enemy when it comes to SFV.

The updates have been basically at the end of the month and announced a few days prior. That sounds like "barely" to me. It is technically monthly but most of the month is total silence.
