I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he's trolling, and they're going to reveal Oro.

Maybe sean has a mate that does capoeira

Elena is from Africa though.

Real talk, I still half expect they want to harvest animations from SFxT so another Capoeira character that is loosely based on Christie wouldn't be too far out imo.

But this is Street Fighter, so a new Brazillian character would probably have a soccer based playstyle.

EDIT: Also: http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/08/street-fighter-v-will-include-alex-and-urien-from-street-fighter-iii/
Apparently Urien and Alex are baack, but Siliconera won't mention their source.

Ramza

I'll have money on the fact that it wont be a Brazilian character revealed, Ono throwing a curve ball as per usual

That being said, plz Capcom, Urien ;__; Answer my prayer, for the last 10 years I've wanted this character back

chopperbyrne

Urien would fit the SFV engine well too.

Aegis could be a V-Trigger only move.

Got to play this for the first time tonight in Leeds! Won my matches, so had a great time haha.

The game feels really weird at first, not at all like you'd expect. More like alpha than 3s; it's hard to describe. Ranges have gotten WAY shorter. Everyone was just whiffing normals next to each other all evening. Punishing stuff is tough unless it's blatantly unsafe, but that could just be because we didn't know how to punish yet. You really need to be making a lot more reads now.

I cornered Matt Edwards, the capcom uk guy and had a long chat with him. I asked about bringing SFV over here at which point I kinda turned into Mrs. Doyle; ah shur you will, ah go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, GO ON :pac: He says if he has a new build by September he would like to bring it over to Celtic throwdown. But I couldn't get him to promise anything. Sorry guys, I tried! I did an interview for him after but I hope it doesn't go up on YouTube because I get a bit flustered on camera.

I only played ryu, so bare that in mind if anyone has any questions. I'll answer what I can!

Oh and I'm to say hello to Fergus, who's reputation now precedes him internationally.

Silicon Era have "leaked" Alex, Urien, Karin and R Mika, basically saying they're 100% in without providing any form of evidence whatsoever. Take from that what you will.

D4RK ONION

That's sick Rob, gg! Hopefully RS can make the push on this side for SFV at CT.

Fergie-chan, yUsoFAMOUS

Ken announced. Someone a bit Akuma-ish about the face teased.

Ken looks very different, pony tail and 90's bangs.

Ken unveiled. He doesn't play like a Shoto anymore.

Officially hyped for SF5

Doctor DooM

Who's this chap?

Macal

Yoooo, he looks sick! Capcom actually had the balls to change Ken up a bit. Bravo.

Also, first completely new character to be teased for SFV at the end.

Ramza

Likely a new character at the end.

Ken definitely still plays like a shoto, has dp, fireball, tatsu, step kick etc. His play-style will very much be ground based (look at his v skill for example). Step kick knocking them away = corner push = gonna be rewarded for ground based play. Ken is still very much a shoto with more flash now for sure, looks awesome.

Edit : Some gameplay

Isn't it obvious? It's Shin El Fuerte and this time his counter hit ex q-bomb will do 700 damage. Be very afraid. ..

Scavenger XIII

He has a 'V' on his face, just leaving that out there.

Ramza

I like how Capcom are handling his V Trigger. Apart from Charlie, Ken is the only one who can cancel a special into V Trigger activation, both on hit and block. However on block it leaves him very exposed, as the whole animation includes that dash that Ken does, so on block you get heavily punished and are left very negative on block. Can be seen here. It's designed to be activated in combos as the little dash lets you catch up to your opponent and continue juggling. Looks like activating it in the neutral game will be useless too.

I think it sucks

D4RK ONION

Ken actually looks sick, that's amazing.

Also end character is totally unmutated blanka

Sairus

V Face's V-Trigger better let him do Custom Combos like in V-ISM. Wasted opportunities otherwise.

Make him a boss character. Make him broke as **** like V-ISM was.

Also, have some Kens.



Ken looks pretty beast, but the way they modeled his hair is friggin awful.

I'm sure they can remodel it before release and release as on-disc DLC

Yreval

On a more serious note, Ken looks really interesting and right now I'd say he's the front-runner to be my main.

Doctor DooM

I guess we can confirm new versions of the themes for SFV then.

They'll probably do a Guile one whether he's in or not

Someone made a composite screenshot of the character at the end. Looks like a new character to me.

Snippets of some of the character themes ( and the music for the forgotten waterfall stage ) has been posted on the Saikyo blog;

http://www.capcom.co.jp/blog/sf4/saikyo_blog/2015/07/10_8060.html

( They're about Half Way down )

For feck sake, Capcom, why did you have to do remixes of the classic chars SF2 themes AGAIN? That's my main gripe, probably too worried about changing the themes after changing a lot of the character designs so much, probably took it out of them.

That said, they're not bad - just overused. Let's hope they don't flood SF5 with a zillion versions of Ryu's theme again. :pac:

I agree. New Ken theme sounds pretty sick.

Although it'd be hard to mess that one up.

Doctor DooM

The Street Fighter 2 themes are probably some of the most well known songs in the history of video games. One has a massive meme that spun out of it.

Capcom would be insane not to include them, they're a memorable part of a valuable IP.

Merces

Capcom hasn't manage to, or even come close imo, topping the SF2 tracks so this is good news. SF 4 had a terribly dull and forgettable soundtrack. I honestly can't remember a single song from it. SF 3 and Alpha 2 were much better though.

I dunno man, Africa stage and Rufus theme are pretty memorable imo.

I don't think Capcom ever lost it with the music, a side effect I would guess being that Ono's actual profession before being Mr. Street Fighter was music producer.

Also.


INDESTRUCTIBLE.

D4RK ONION

People really to separate their nostalgic love for the SF2 tracks and their opinions of the newer music in FGs. SF4 has a bunch of cracking tunes.

Small Airfield is awesome

Solar Eclipse

Overpass

Rufus

If any of these songs came out in SF2 as 8 bit tracks, people would be holding them as classics of our time, but because they didn't hear them 20 years ago they're crap and CrapCom have forgotten how to make good tracks. Ugh.

Silicon Era provide evidence of first CONFIRMED guest character:

Nostalgia glasses asides, the SF4 stage themes have all been the same since Vanilla. To listen to those themes for six years onwards would really grate on me, and I'm not even a serious SF4 player. So thankfully there is an option to have character themes on. Some remixes or complete recompositions a la Third Strike (or VF5: FS) in later versions would have helped a lot.

I don't think very highly of the OST in general anyway. Some really good new themes (Rufus, El Fuerte, Cody) and remixes (Zangief, Gen, Rose). Others are kind of forgettable, and I think there is an over-abundance of virtual instruments in a lot of the orchestrations.

Fair point, I should have been clearer in that it was understandable from a business point of view and the remixes themselves are are actually quite good - I was more of the stand point that given the risks Capcom are taking with some of the character redesigns ( especially Ken ) I just felt they could taken the risk with the actual character themes as well.

Also, people seem to forget Crumbling Laboratory from SF4 as well - The track is epic and suiting of a final boss level and SFxT for the crap it gets, had some good tracks as well.

To be fair though most of the best music in SFxT was remixed from older music as well.

Ramza

I personally don't rate the soundtrack of 4. While it does have some great tunes here and there, overall I found it to be very mediocre. Nothing comes close to CVS2/Alpha/SF3 soundtracks, those games had amazing ones. SF2 is a given of course. Honorable mentions to Marvel 2 and the EX series for having sick music too.

As far as SF5 goes with remixing SF2 music, I have no gripe with it. SF2 music is great. Charlie's Alpha 2 remix theme sounded great from what I heard. So far the stage themes of SF5 are quite good. I hope they bring back Jazzy NYC for Ken stage.

So hype for this!!. It's been too long since I've picked up a stick for usf4.

airmax87

If they did themes like this that weren't remixes but you know who it was for straight away, that would be cool for SFV.

(ex series and 2i have the best ost's)

For those who missed all the SF5 panel stuff:
https://imgur.com/a/X4oHJ

Basic jist of new stuff:
There will be no separate release of Super SF5. It'll be handled like Killer Instinct where you buy the core game with 16 and then new characters and balance will be applied to that forever.
Balance and gameplay additions will be free.
Characters will be released singularly periodically instead of in batches.
Characters can be bought using free ingame currency (Fight Money) which you earn via play over time, or you can buy premium currency (Zenny) with real money.
No word on how much any of this unlocking will cost. They'll be using the betas to help balance the economy.

Moveset looks really cool, not a fan of the wacky hair at all but I'd take him over the likes of Blanka any day.

Someone at Capcom a Finn Balor fan perhaps?
