Can't believe I'm going to have to cop a PS4 for this game only. Never been a fan of PS series but it looks like
I'm going to make the plunge. Wish beta dropped on PC also.

Dumb move but hey its your money this game does not seem worth it.
 
Rumor sum up from Ken Bogard (French dude who hosted the red bull kumite)

He's the one who mentioned V trigger mechanic back in december.

- Time / Weather effects in stages
- Release date : 2016, before the end of the fiscal year.
- Unreal Engine 4
- The new mechanic is named V-Trigger : You can change your stance.
- 16 characters
- No Super Street Fighter 2X + EX (Updates kinda like League of Legends / Killer Instinct)
- The story mode will be way much better, they know they f***** up with sf4.
- The PC version is here mostly because they want to bring the game to Latin America, South Asia, Africa...

- 16 characters, including 4 new (Zen, Laura, Rachid and ?).
- one unique flagship title, game will be updated through seasons/DLC
- SF5 takes place after SF4, but before SF3. Deals with the fall of Shadaloo and rise of the Illuminati, storywise it's a transition to SF3 era.
- Only 'Shadaloo member' remaining is Dictator, implying no Boxer, Sagat or Claw.
- efforts will be made on story mode, characters will make sense story wise.

16 characters makes sense with how unique each character is but I hope for more at launch after coming from Ultra's lineup.
If it is 16 characters, with 6 confirmed and 4 new then that's only 6 left.
The storyline is in between 3 and 4 so you'll probably get some SFIII characters and new character/s from SFIV and I'm guessing some og world warriors.
Still though, Birdie is in the roster so who knows what :lol:

Good to hear the story is a priority too but hopefully there's a nice single player campaign or world tour mode.


Still rumors so take with a grain of salt but he's obviously connected to someone at Capcom.


Another roster rumor off SRK

I posted in the general discussion a few days ago, there is a supposed leak.

"Leak"

Alex
Urien
Juri
Ken
Dhalsim
Karin
Zangief
R.Mika
4 unknown
Possibly more

Confirmed:

Ryu
Charlie
Birdie
Cammy
Chun Li

The person who leaked this info is supposed to be a solid source of info, the guy who passed it on asked not to be mentioned. I'm assume his friend had NDA. Now thi is the internet so still take with a grain of salt, but the next reveal will show the validity of this list.

Not 16 characters but its a newer rumor and sort of ties in with the older one. 4 new characters, some third strike, Juri from SFIV, couple world warriors and the most popular alpha characters.

Really hate the idea of individual characters as downloadable dlc. I rather new iterations introducing additional characters.

I like they're starting out with 16 characters.
 
So someone correct me if I'm wrong. Street fighter story line goes

Street Fighter
Street Fighter Alpha series
Street Fighter 2
Street Fighter IV
Street Fighter III

Correct but street fighter 5 being after 4 but before 3 is beyond stupid. Can we move on from SF 3 please?!

That's where is was getting and trying to make sense of it but it's like c'mon all this mismatch back and forth.
If capcom took the time to make the story mode more interesting it might be ok. But they don't. And SF3 was a good game but it was so popular because they took FOREVER to bring out SFIV
 
SF3 is overrated. People only started playing 3rd strike around '03-'04, a good 4-5 years after that game dropped. No one touched new generation or 2nd Impact. 3rd strike just got its hype because your choice at that time was either structure with 3rd strike or broken chaos with marvel 2 and the infamous j. Wong/ Daigo evo parry comeback. I don't know why they're making a big deal out the story, it's stupid now. Even more so in the fact that Charlie has been brought back to life. Only interest I have is if capcom takes advantage of those silly rumors of Remy being Charlie's son...

Meh sf3> 4. People hated sf3 because the better players always won. The game has a brutal learning curve and no bs comeback garbage meter. Also super safe fighter 4 FADC IMO ruined the risk reward of the game.

I don't see how it could even be overrated since everyone hates it

I don't think think it'll be individual characters. It'll be the same model like super, AE and ultra where you get a batch of characters per update.
They're just not going to call it super or Ultra or have re-releases on disks.

Man, I hate FADC making stuff safe so much. My only gripe with SF3 is I'm just not a fan of any of the characters in the game, so I just ended up playing Chun. I love the footsies in the game so much though, so good.

I really don't think FADC was designed to initially work that was but since the game's pace was so slow they needed a way to keep pressure without an overhaul.

Well said.
 
FADC > Parry

Don't be confused by the current state of SF4. Parry always has and always will be broken
