RUMOR: Super Street Fighter V is happening; free update for existing owners
- Thread starter Tizoc
- Start date
This.
The rumor sounds good, and I'll be tempted, but I'd still much prefer to make a one time purchase and get all the content on a disc as my physical property. I've already been waiting 18 months and I'll gladly wait another 18 months.

As in "Heathcliff"
Well there are someone else leaking SSFV is coming with some contents. Riku is also piggybacking on that too

I was so excited for Yun in SFIV but I just didn't take well to him in that game. Sucks. Maybe he would be better here?
Surprised Azam isn't in this leak...so now I'm suspicious all of a sudden!
I think they'll make her have a good schoolgirl costume.
But they know what the fans want. They know why people wanna see Sakura. People want to see her grow up, not be someone the same age as Cammy still acting like a kid.
You can like him but nah I disagree.
I want her in every fighting game
Braindead? Just put it on the hardest setting, problem solved!!!
The V stuff would require a lot of character balance work.
CAs are easier to stick in.

I hope they do 2nd CA's because maybe Gief would have one that isn't complete bullshit

Any rumor involving Q is always fake.

There's been no mention of him yet.
I hope that fat bastard comes back too
I want him back. Hopefully he comes back. He was my favorite character in older games.

I will re-download again for anything resembling these rumors. But, I'm either going to have to learn Guile, or pray Ryu is top tier again because I can't stand the meta of the game anymore, and I think those strong zoner types are the only ways to by pass it somewhat.

If this was real, I'd be all for it - but I would hope that they'd rebalance the game and either restore some greatness to the shitty/stubby normals and completely nerfed AAs, or provide other defensive or movement options to make fighting more interesting in the game.
The lack of arcade mode is a legitimate complaint: any major fighting game's arcade mode served as a better way to initially familiarize with the game than Survival, CPU Vs, or either of the Story modes. I even kinda like going for single credit clears occasionally and particularly enjoy flashy bullshit bosses.
But it's a legitimate complaint that is often incredibly overblown and used in a disingenuous way to shit up SF5 threads.
Yeah his is ridiculous, easiest way to do it is to do neutral jump while inputting the command.

Not everyone plays fighting games to get better and go into competitive scene.
Arcade mode is fun for just playing the game for 30 minutes/an hour a day and enjoying your battles with CPU.

Still seems so weird to me that a Ken player doesn't like SFV.
You have a "win round" option in the form of a CC st.hk into corner into throw loops!

Is this confirmed?
Sometimes people just want to burn 15 or so minutes of time and feel like they completed something.
Just rumors at this point.
you realize it comboes and you can cancel it from many normals?
the easiest for me is crouching MP. if I am walking towards the enemy, I will rotate the pad down, hit MP, and then do the remaining 540 rotation (back, up, front, down, back, up) and hit punch again
it is not hard nor precise. it is just fast
No but Sagat and Sakura are the safest bets in history

Whether or not you believe the leak, Sakura (and Sagat) in S3 is almost a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Hopefully she has that cute gym teacher uniform from SFIV.

All SFV complaints are legitimate, but when every SFV seems to veer torwards shitposting it gets pretty old.

I still remember people saying Sagat was a lock for season 2.

The only way this rumor could make me happier is if it included a way for me to play the game without first having to shut off my virus scanner. (Seriously, Capcom, why????)

Can't expect us to beat unblockable setups.

if you ever played me, you'd realize how unappealing that sounds. I emulate patient Momochi play, not Eita play.
I've always played Ken like a more aggressive Ryu, not a full rushdown character. Throw loop is so boring and shallow and do you realize how slow st.HK is? lol...
You must be a babby.
How did you play console fighting games 20, 25 years ago?
Protip: not everybody cares about "becoming better" for online play, which requires a really completely different level of skill compared to regular-ass CPU fighting.

You clearly aren't playing Ken correctly then.
Though for what it's worth, I feel your pain. I play F.A.N.G as a defensive, hit-and-run, run out the timer character.
And those are 3 of the worst things to do in this game. Even the balancing for FANG is making him more mix-up oriented rather than a defensive character.
Their chances are low, given that they gave Karin large parts of their kit.

Meh, maybe I should buy USF4...
I never touched arcade mode besides unlockables. And I played console fighting games with friends since single player was boring and useless to me.
That's my personal preference and I can see not everbody shares it...but...the whole SFV is trash because of no Arcade mode continues to baffle me.

yup, that's when I deleted the game. I just chalked it up to 'eh, I suck, I haven't been playing a while" and just started looking at replay of higher ranked Kens. Same crap, mix-up from landing a cr.HP. Trick tatsu after you get trigger so it's tricky to guess what side Ken lands on. Getting into the corner with Tatsu or EX DP and as you mentioned throw loop or baiting throw loop, I was like this is what I have to improve upon?? Nope, not for me.
The only cool thing I like it hit confirming from target combo first hit (which I've learned) and Ken's ok buttons like standing MP and C.MK. Takes practice, but it's pretty cool.
but yeah, every player I looked at just didn't seem like fun. Only liked Guile, and since I don't know how to play charge characters, I figure it's too much of a time investment right now with so many amazing games coming out.

I can see them adding in the modes etc, but why would the characters be free - or are they separate?
I'd definately jump in for Oro, Q and Necro - but it all seems too good to be true.

Everything is included in the free update except the Season 3 characters. S3 would have it's own Season Pass like the first two.
