I mean I've already payed for this pass so I might as well see what characters they bring out.

But I feel like there's no hype anymore for these new characters as compared to S1 when people were constantly theorizing about their v-systems and just generally excited. One would think completely new movesets and new archetypes would get the hardcore fans interested at least.

The only reason people could do that is because we knew the characters due to the leak but not how they'd play. It was all guess work. Plus, it's easier to theorize how S1 DLC boys would play since they were based on characters we've already played.

This season is airtight save for this leak, and it pretty much told us how she'd play. The rest of the characters have no basis in anything, so it's really hard to draw any conclusions, much less say shit since Capcom won't even tell us what kind of fighters they are.

 

[CountBlack]

sub zero guest character sounds pretty lit

 

[mnz]

Oh and this leak mentions Arturo again. Pretty sure leaks from last year did, too. Will they ban him soon? lol

 

[lucebuce12]

Can anyone give me a link to the leak? I haven't even seen it yet.

Link doesnt work.

Details? Alternate link? Anyone?

Where is this leak???

Someone tell meeeeeeeeeeee

can't piano? rip

cant do it good enough :/ i just blame it on the pad

thank god for sfxt

 

[mnz]

Pianoing is stupid in our age tbh. Too exclusionary for pad players.

 

[lucebuce12]

I played Honda and never minded it tbh.

Though I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't prefer regular qcf/hcf motions for the move instead.

Also regarding Helen:

"She looks like a slow zoner"

Russian lady who's a zoner? Yup, this is my new main. Assuming I don't get left behind.

gitto guudo tbh

honda was so fun in SF4, I hope he comes back and his HHS is piano again tbh

whens MK vs SF?

I need to learn a zoner too to offset some of my terrible matchups so I'm hoping she plays well! People said that Guile had slow stumpy normals at first and he turned out great; let's see if Kolen/Helin impress.

 

[Mizerman]

10 or 15 years ago, I would've been hyped for a hypothetical MK vs. SF. Now? Meh.

 

[direct_quote]

https://articles.pvplive.net/article_images/helen_leak.jpg

Plays like Rose but has bad normals? Does not compute...

MK is better than ever now so I would be down. Most people won't care tho, that's for sure. The SF zeitgeist has long passed.

When will you guys listen to me?

S2 is bad...

Also should be a mixture of familiar characters and new ones. Sakura, Sagat, Dudley, joined by 3 newcomers for example. I just think Capcom is missing the mark. I've taken a break from play, but still watching pretty regularly high level play, it's more boring now.

 

[MrCarter]

When NetherRealm learn how to animate properly.

/s

 

[Blueblur1]

guess not, lol

Yeah :-(

S2 has just begun dude we haven't even had our first CPT event yet lol. I for one welcome these new characters and play styles and the "nostalgia" characters can wait it out till S3 and beyond.

yeah, we'll see...just seems like the hype died down from my POV.

And I think all new characters is a mistake. Mixture reaches a broader audience IMO.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I want all new characters.

And DeeJay.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

I want all new characters.

And DeeJay.

Makes sense.
That way F.A.N.G can be second to last on the tier list.

 

[HiResDes]

I'm just catching up on Undefeated can we talk about K-Brad did you see those motherfuckering whiff punishes on Justin, did you see how my man responded after the Smug and Wolverine. I don't usually be on my Paul Heyman shit, but yeah dude deserve some props.

 

[mbpm1]

But we're getting everyone's 2nd favorite SF3 character, the lady from Gill's intro.

I mained Helen since SF1

 

[Shadoken]

Man am honestly kinda bummed its gonna be Helen. The ice power thing makes it pretty much confirmed at this point.

I hope S2 doesnt end up being a budget season pass. If it ends up being Helen,Azam,Ed,Satsuki... heck even Akuma is still a shoto.

 

[Edzi]

It definitely feels like the hype has died down from all sides.

 

[mbpm1]

Helen just needs an Ice Klone

 

[CountBlack]

will SFV be great again once meterless invincible DP's come back?

 

[ColonialHawk]

whens MK vs SF?

Our top men are working on it.

 

[HiResDes]

Also why Chris G look like Pnoy daddy in their match

 

[Scotia]

Don't know why but I was under the impression Kolin/Helen was getting revealed today...

 

[TheSpoiler]

I'll be far more hyped once CPT starts and once we get more news. Excluding the Helen leak, if it's accurate on the gameplay side, it's a whole lotta "stay tuned' right now.

 

[robotzombie]

Don't know why but I was under the impression Kolin/Helen was getting revealed today...

probably because today would be reasonable given the fact that capcom told us they'd reveal the character this week and yesterday teased by changing the images on their facebook, but then you fell into the trap thinking you could reasonably anticipate capcom information dispersion

The mixup is that there is no mixup.

 

[kirblar]

The next character reveal is on 2/15 at Lupe's party.

 

[mbpm1]

You thought they would release a character, but for Capcom it was Tuesday.

[Foxhound286]

No, it's this week. The Unity blog post said so.

 

[Ryce]

February 14 would be the perfect day to release Helen: it's her canonical birthday, it's roughly the 20th anniversary of Street Fighter III, and it's a Tuesday (the typical update day).

That would be smart but this is Capcom we are talking about.

Akuma, Helen/Kolin , Azam, Byron (guilds CO), Satsuki , Voilent Ken (hadn't appeared in a SF game outside of the forthcoming switch SF2)

This is very much a budget season , next year we might not even get 6 characters unless this game starts making more money soon.

I fail to see how that would be a budget season pass. Those are all new characters and require more work than just bringing back a returning character. The 3D models they have in the game are basic and would pretty much require brand new models anyways, and they have no existing skill set to draw from.

 

[sixteen-bit]

pretty much

would be surprised if the update comes out before March tbh

I truly doubt Azam, Byron or Violent Ken are part of this season, I'm 99% sure they aren't.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Azam, maybe?

Even then, it's not like they'd be saving a whole lot by having models in the game right now for maybe three characters. There's still the issue of having normal moves, specials, CAs, etc. That shit doesn't exist right now.

Also, the WSO boys said there is no announcement tonight. See you guys tomorrow or Thursday then.

These guys all need new movesets? Isn't that more work than just brining back old characters when the template is already there (even with heavy redesigns)?

If they do bring back old guys, I hope they get big overhauls.

 

[myco666]

From my understanding the creation of 3D model is pretty expensive and animation not so much. So Capcom is definitely saving some money by using characters from the story mode. Budget season is bit of a stretch though.

I can tell you from first hand experience, modeling and rigging take up quite a bit of time. And for movies, there are teams of people working not on whole bodies, but parts.

The story mode models aren't detailed enough to transplant into being playable. They are maybe 1/4 or less of the size of a playable character.

 

[Moaradin]

We've already seen this with the stage Alex and playable Alex. You pretty much need to make a new model.
