hasn't it always been side to side?

Yeah, but after seeing the head to head setup in the cage that Red Bull had it looks worse off. None of this really matters of course, but I think a head to head setup in a ring just looks better.
Pretty sure SFV will be at the MadCatz booth, so there's a good chance they'll stream it

Does it bother anybody else that they haven't revealed any true newcomers for SFV?
They're coming - makes sense to let people beta test with characters they can easily get a handle on. (And who will be much more fully baked.)
It bothers me too.
I was SURE they would reveal someone new @ e3, but nooo, they had to announce Cammy as soon as possible, fuck new characters

...When was the bolded? Because if you're talking about going to Moy to play there's a chance we could've played each other.
It was frustrating that that place was pretty much the only one that had anything worthwhile that wasn't hacked KoF as far as fighting games go, but at least it existed. Now everything is so outdated that people stopped going there as often (me included). At least it has the only KoF XIII machine that's not outdated I guess.
Nah, seems to me they're highlighting how different this game is from SF4. Easiest to do that with known quantities.
New characters are coming. I can wait. Especially when the game looks so hot right now.
Yeah I thought they'd throw out at least one new one by now considering the rumoured limited number of characters total. That's the type of thing that definitely needs to be spread out a bit.
Or, easier to do that with new characters lol

That Floe vs MikeRoss FT5 match was pretty good.
I hope we get a "Rosas" or "Combofiend" boss character like we did in SF4.

Mid to late 90's and the first half of the new milenium. So yeah, probably we played against each other.
I worked near Moy pedro moreno from 95 to mid 96 and it was sure you'll find me there or in Galex pedro moreno a few blocks near Federalismo where they had EVERY CPS2 GAME EVER MADE!! those were fantastic, then i went on to other jobs/business but still roamed those 2 places whenever i had the chance to.
Is a shame both places doesn't exist anymore, well, exept Moy who moved to other location and still is the best place to play FG's in all Guadalajara.
like next year?
dat typo
If Killer Instinct is part of the SFV model, they may just have returning characters (with new twists) in the original batch and sprinkle some new ones in post-release content. Maybe only one or two new characters in the original batch?
Fair to say this game will start with ~16 characters and end with 30-40+.

I feel like its at SDCC
For sure there are new characters at EVO, available to play in the Beta.

Ah, so much earlier than I started being able to go to arcades by myself, so not a chance then. I was only 4 in 96 so yeah...
I disagree. When you see Ryu do 2 crouch jabs and then fail at linking into a stronger normal due to range, that should tell you that this game is (mostly) not like SF4's confirm/combo system. They would not be able to communicate that through a new character because people would just assume it's just weird hit properties unique to them. I mean Cammy still has that crouch jab confirm shit, but as you can see her dive kick is very different from SF4.
Agreed. The streak colors + it's right before the Beta and they've revealed characters there before (for Marvel.)

El Fuetre was revealed 4 months before Vanilla SF4 released in arcades.
C. Viper was revealed 6 months before Vanilla SF4 released in arcades.
I don't remember when Abel was revealed. Considering that we still have 8 months until the release of SF5, I say that we shouldn't worry about the new characters not being revealed yet.

If I recall, Ryu and Ken were the only characters known for a WHILE.
chun li to not appear in SF4!!!
How come it takes them almost a week to upload these episodes to youtube? Like...he's working for a video streaming company and that stuff is automated.
Easier for me to see how different things are with old characters in a new system than new characters in a new system. There are no differences to tell from a new character.
Hasn't Capcom been less and less involved at SDCC over the years?
Yeah, but that's not stuff 99% of people notice, people that are important. The hardcore FGC of course understand you would be ignorant to think it's just like SF4, but a lot of the reactions were and are "lol it looks just like SF4."
To some extent I think Skilletor is right about using known quantities, people can see the V-Gauge and it's various mechanics are very prominent and bam Ryu ain't the same because he's ingested Blanka's soul. Also, for all intents and purposes, showing Nash off and in the state he's in is a pretty big statement towards this is not SF4, he's effectively a new character for most. I just think in the same way that we expect different representations from all of the major series of SF to return, it's just as important to get a sense of what this next generation will offer, and to do that sooner rather than later. Perhaps they're just waiting for a moment where they can co-reveal it with some basic single player or story information.
Hasn't Capcom been less and less involved in everything over the years? (if its not in Japan)
They seem to like to announce characters at trade shows but I'm not holding my breathe although I would not be surprised if they announced "a" character there.

Alex is better. Just make power/hyper bomb good and he's golden. Abel is like an SF2 character knock off that is just bland.

Abel is more of a true SF character than Juri/C viper/El fuerte/Hakan/Rufus combined
I love everything about Abel. From his looks to his unique style of combat. I think he really embodies SF in a lot of ways.
Hakan the SFIV GOAT for sure though. He hits all the right points too. The rest of the newbies don't really come across as interesting visually or they're a bit too zany (Juri). Some unique playstyles amongst them, but the characters themselves don't do anything for me.

I liked the new Cammy - SF4 Cammy was dull.
Wednesday hug bros lmao
I think Abel looks boring as hell.
C Viper being black widow
And Juri being Jolyne Kujo still stick out for me
Fuerte suffers from " my alt should have been my regular costume syndrome " with two of his costumes, my favorite being his 3rd one,
also why didn't this happen?
Gouken was pretty cool, epically his moveset, his weird Shotokan practicing was kind of a breath of fresh air in that archetype
I think seth is ok, has cool alts.
