Street Fighter V (PS4/PC) | Sakura!!!!!!

[Kuzu]

I'm probably gonna pick her up just for the fucking stunner lol.

 

But yea, she looks cool. And da booty.

[Ducktor Naldush]

Rainbow Mika was one of my mains in Alpha 3, second only to Zangief. I'm pretty sure the Red Cyclone will return now, what's with his biggest fan making an appearance on the battlefield, but you never know.

 

Now the only character I want to see is Q, especially since Mike Haggar is impossible.

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2015/sep/03/street-fighter-5s-launch-roster-will-comprise-eight-classic-fighters-four-brand-new-and-four-we-havent-seen-while/

alright time to place your bets on who's gonna make it in. As already been confirmed, the game is gonna have 16 characters at launch, but now we have a rundown of the layout of the roster.

So right now, we have 10 characters, and putting this roster layout into consideration:

Classic fighters: Ryu, Chun-Li, Bison (dictator), Cammy, Ken, Vega (claw)

New fighters: Necalli

Fighters not seen in awhile: Nash, Birdie, R. Mika

So this is looking like one more fighter not seen in awhile, two more classics, and three more new fighters.

But wait, there's more!

Ono has dropped another cryptic hint on his twitter. Apparently this is a character tease that will be revealed at the Dubai Games 15 event, right before TGS. The plot thickens.

Ono has been teasing Blanka for a while (which lead to the reveals of both Necalli and Ken)... Most people I've talked to are pretty sure he's doing this just to be a tease like usual and reveal anything but Blanka as the game's release date closes.

[Junko]

Announced over at Games15 in Dubai is Rashid

Lmao, an arabian character with flying/wind themes announced on 9/11. Oh, the controversy.

But anyway, this dude looks ok (what's up with the DBZ scouter though); it looks like Ono wanted to answer in some way to Tekken 7's new arabian character.

That being said, i hope this means we will get a more decent italian character then (especially since Bison's new moves imply Rose may not return).

[Junko]

More gameplay.

And official render and screencap.

Hello new favorite character.

[gato]

Trailer from Max's chanel

I admit I kinda wanted to see Cody so I was bit let down this morning, but sign me up for crazy jet pack (or whatever that thing on his back is) wielding mid eastern saiyan prince. o/

This is easily the most interesting character that they have shown so far in Street Fighter V. If no one else interesting shows up I'll probably just have my first go at this game be with Rashid.

[Junko]

60fps.

And ya boi Haunts has a description of how he plays.

This character was announced by Ono-san at the Games 15 event in Dubai, and we have all of the details to share with you now.

Hailing from the Middle East, Rashid is a fun, easy going individual who has an affinity for technology. Although his fighting style is casual, it’s anything but laid back! Using the power of wind, Rashid is definitely one of the more difficult characters to catch. 

Players can look forward to parkour inspired, fast-paced attacks, which will leave opponents scratching their heads and wondering what’s coming next!

V-Skill 1 (MP+MK) – Front Flip

Rashid performs a high flying flip over the opponent. Pressing kick during the Front Flip results in Rashid performing a divekick.

V-Skill 2 (Down+MP+MK) – Rolling Assault

Rashid closes the gap between himself and the opponent with a quick front roll. Pressing kick during Rolling Assault results in Rashid kicking upward at the opponent.

V-Trigger (HP+HK) – Ysaar

Rashid throws out a slow moving whirlwind that closes in on the opponent and causes damage to them if they touch it. While the whirlwind is out, Rashid can use it to increase his movement on any attack that propels him forward.

Get ready to soar to new heights with Rashid and leave the competition in the dust!  We still have many more characters left to reveal, so stay tuned for more information in the near future. Until next time!

Fucking finally, my girl Karin's back BOOOOOOYS

Official art and screenshots.

Gameplay overview.

Two years ago, we held a worldwide character popularity poll to find out who the fans liked the most, and Karin came in 7th worldwide (1st when just looking at Japan results), despite having only appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Today, we’re happy to reintroduce her to the series with a brand new design and play style.

Karin is the young heiress to the Kanzuki Zaibatsu, a global financial conglomerate that possesses vast wealth and resources. Her regal and pampered upbringing is what led to her high-maintenance attitude and razer-sharp wit. But behind her flowing golden locks lies a true martial artist obsessed with upholding her family motto, “In all things be victorious!” Karin is well versed in numerous martial arts, which she and her family combined to create a unique “Kanzuki style” of fighting. 

In Street Fighter V, Karin is a well-rounded character, possessing a wide array of strikes and moves at her disposal for any situation. Utilizing her new dash move allows her to close the distance quickly between her opponents and go in for a quick high-low attack or throw. 

And just when the opponent thinks they’ve figured out how to deal with the pressure, Karin’s V-Trigger completely changes up her gameplan by allowing her to perform her signature Guren Ken multi-string attacks and variations. Players who enjoy attacking with speed and a large variety of tools will find Karin to be extremely satisfying to utilize.

V-Skill: Meioken

Karin lunges forward with a devastating palm strike that dissipates projectiles and knocks down the opponent if it connects, all while helping to build her V-Trigger gauge. By holding down the buttons, players can charge the move for a split second, giving it better hit and block properties.

V-Trigger: Kanzuki-Ryu Guren No Kata

Karin channels her inner Ki to unlock the true potential of the Kanzuki fighting style, giving her access to the Guren Ken attack, which in itself possesses over half a dozen different follow ups and variations. After the initial Guren Ken, she is able to transition immediately into an overhead attack, a low sweep, a flying throw, another quick set of strikes, or even a backdash to bait out counterattacks. This gives her immense flexibility in controlling the flow of the fight, ensuring that she comes out on top.

Rashid looks really, really cool! Digging his fighting style too, I'm a sucker for characters who pull off fancy moves in speculatair fashion!

Introducing the Capcom Fighters Network.

The Capcom Fighters Network (CFN) is a community building tool that will be directly built into the online infrastructure of Street Fighter V.

Here is a list of some of the things that you’ll be able to do in-game via CFN:

• See where battles are happening all over the world on a “heat map”

• View player profiles and detailed match statistics

• Designate “rivals” throughout the world and monitor their performance

• Register friends and follow your favorite players

• Search and watch replay files

• Send online battle invitations

• Check out the latest patch and tournament news

• And much more!

We’ll have more concrete details on all the various CFN features at a later date, but just to whet your appetite, here are some work-in-progress screenshots. The main CFN screen shows the “heat map” and will look something like this:

 

Each blinking light on the world map represents a pocket of active users that are engaged in online battles. With the heat map, you’ll be able see where all the action is taking place and even be able to drill down to the individual players who are fighting, in order to check out their profile information, past match history, replays and even send them a fight request.

As Street Fighter V will be at the forefront of our eSports activities upon release, we wanted to make sure that players had access to all the statistical data possible to help analyze their weaknesses and improve their game. 

 

The game tracks not only online win/loss records, but fine detail stats such as “how many light punches did you land,” “how many throws did you tech,” “in what ways did you win the match,” and much, much more. We are confident that players will appreciate this new knowledge and use it to push themselves to the next level and rise above the competition.

[Junko]

Extended gameplay for Karin and Rashid.

So, I guess nobody cares because you're all a bunch of wussies but guess who's coming back?

That's right, друзья́. The Red Cyclone is coming to town, and no one is safe, not any longer! 

Thanks to Thigolf for letting me know!

Zangief Piledrives His Way Into SFV!

When it comes to raw strength, not many in the world can compete with Zangief. Training day and night, Zangief believes that the only way to victory is to have a body complete with perfect muscles. Due to his intense training, which includes wrestling bears, Zangief can lift the heaviest opponents with ease!

In SFV, Zangief shows off the results of his training through his newfound V-Skill, Iron Muscle and new V-Trigger, Cyclone Lariat. These two skills are just the tip of the iceberg however, as Zangief has even more new tactics in store for the world warriors this time around. 

V-Skill: Iron Muscle

Zangief shows the true power of his body when he activates Iron Muscle. During Iron Muscle, Zangief can absorb one attack, which leaves him with recoverable health. If players hold down medium punch and medium kick and then press a direction on the joystick, Zangief will begin to slowly close in on the opponent. Upon release from the walk, Zangief flexes his muscles and hits the opponent if close enough.

V-Trigger: Cyclone Lariat

Zangief lives up to his name “the red cyclone” as he spins with high speed and velocity, pulling the opponent in close. If the player taps the V-Trigger activation buttons, Zangief will quickly spin and pull in the opponent. If the player holds the V-Trigger activation buttons, Zangief will continue to spin and hit the opponent multiple times.

RIP Alex supporters.

Sean and Guile, I want those two to return

>Not Alex

My sadness is profound and my salt is never ending.

Also, is it me or the latest ultras look kinda lame? (anything from Ken onwards IMO)

 

EDIT:

That bear is so random, I love it.

Are you saying Rashid's tornado kick of justice is NOT the best thing ever?

The finishing animation doesn't feel like it has much of an impact. If it ended on a divekick or some body surfing I'd be all over it.
