Hard to really compare Chun to other charge characters because she doesn't really rely on her charge moves too much. She's about buttons, not charging kikoken.

As far as I know, the only inputs completely removed are 360s and mashing. The former is kinda nice and the latter is the best thing to ever happen.
I'm so glad Vega isn't charge now too.

"Rashid of the Turbulent Wind! Remember the name."
Yep. Though I can't pinpoint the actual VA. Ah well.

The only place I've seen it tossed around is here on GAF, where bland seems to be code for "I don't like this character." I'm sure it's mentioned elsewhere too, but I don't see it as some defining trait that some are making it out to be.
In the last big character poll he placed second among characters introduced in SFIV, and in the middle of the pack amongst the entire roster so he's got a healthy share of supporters.
I just really don't care for the dismissive attitudes people have towards characters they don't care for. Fighting game rosters are so contentious already, that needlessly throwing other characters under the bus doesn't really add anything positive to the community IMO. There's characters I don't like either, but I try to refrain from tearing them down and instead focus on who I like. I'm not always successful in this, but it does make it more enjoyable IMO.
The only motion special she has is lightning legs. Everything else is charge.
He sounds pretty damn good, if you ask me.

SBK is her main combo ender

Welp he has Juri's dive kick, she wont be in the starting roster. Still no zoner character though, everyone has so much anti-zoning options its gonna be hard for them to make one.
Yeah I'm pretty sure it is.
I see that Rashid is channeling his inner JoJo in his intro.

A male version of Rashida, as in Rashida Jones. You know the actress...

It will pop up if he gets selected. It looks like it just highlighting him

Daaaaaamn he looks fun as hell. I don't think I'll ever play as him, but I'm glad he's in the game.
It's Gigas and Josie who use moves from characters. Shaheen has some similarities to Raven but thats about it. Also has a Lars type dynamic entry stance but anyone can have that since it can be generic forward dashing leading to unique stuff.

IMO this isn't a problem. If anything it's a boon to the overall game balanced because then you don't have bad matchups with characters, just characters with tools. If everyone has a wakeup option that doesn't require meter then the metagame increases, which is what it should be.

The DBZ scouter thing NEEDS to go. If they can fix Cammy and Ken's face, they can fix this.

This is even worse than the 9/11 post!
Anyway, just realized at the end he shows Ryu a real hurricane kick lol. His voice is great! Love how this guy smiles, much more my taste than Necalli.
Some of his stuff also looks like Law's (kicks, slide kick, flip) etc.
About the only thing I saw people use that looked his own was that kick that hits the ankles.
To me he feels like they just really wanted to make a middle eastern character but had no fighting style in mind.
It's likely for Rashid's control over his wind backpack. Also, Cammy's face didn't need fixing in my opinion, but to each their own.
What, why?

Not unless you're whiff punishing a DP or something, so not really.
Her super is a motion now too and that's kind of a big deal.

Homogenizing the roster for the sake of balance doesn't make the game better, it just makes it blander.

It's not homogenizing it. The tools aren't all equal, but they're there. VF does this and every single character plays differently. Everyone has the same defensive options, so the only "tiers" that exist from 4 on are who has more tools rather than who can counterpick who.

I wonder what the outcome will be between Aegis Tornado VS. Aegis Reflector.
I've pretty much stopped paying attention to 99% of the things people say in these reveal threads.
Like stupid shit like this.
Hopefully we'll get some gameplay.

Still no clean (or at least cleaner) media? The Internet has failed.
