Confuzzled at people saying the 'leak list' has too many characters considering they just said it's 16 + 4 new and the list is 14 + 4 new.

I'm curious to the, "buff only" idea. Could work, or could keep characters that are somewhat broken stay that way.

I hope they go the DoA route with costumes.
I really like all those Chun designs
It's 12 old, 4 new.
skimpy costumes?
They said it's 16 including new, not 16 + 4 new.

We almost got a design change for Chun-Li.
Those last 2 Chun Li costumes are great. The last one specially would've been great as her default.

Hopefully those Chun designs end up as alts
Isn't it 16 characters total, with 4 of them being brand new? So 12 returning.

The fact that they said that GAMEPLAY content can be earned makes me think that aesthetic stuff like costumes will still have to be bought with real money
As promised, an imgur album with all images from the panel.

Did they say character or characters? I was hoping for more than one reveal.

Only if they want their game to be shit. Assuming you mean skimpy outfits, of course.
You're right, they did say gameplay.

"gameplay-related" tho
aesthetic microstranscations incoming
That's aight I guess. Reminds me of Halo 5 making all the maps free to stop splitting up the community, but they still got weapon skins and cosmetic shit you can buy.

I hope the game has plenty of stages

As in "Heathcliff"
I'm pretty pleased with the panel. I didn't expect that they would provide so much information on SFV.

I was sorta hoping to see a concept Cammy design with Pants, just to see people rage over it, lol.
That far right one for Chun looks good. Chun with long hair.

Because that's not what they said.
16 characters, 4 of which are new.
Ah yeah, saw the slide just before I refreshed the page. I was basically going off the audio on the periscope stream because you couldn't see a darn thing

Still better than now when you have to buy everything with real cash.

If Mika is part of the roster they already have that covered.

He also mentioned in the Q&A that they'll only do quick patches if something is discovered that basically breaks the game. So they aren't going to have a panic attack if people start screaming a character is OP. Which so far has happened with every single character they've revealed.

That's how it should be. Reward dedication and skill, just as long as the requirements aren't too strict i.e play Training Mode for 10,000 hours to unlock

I mean...what's the bar for this, exactly? Third Strike? HD Remix?

Link to what he said in full?
Overpriced outfits?

I like everything I've heard about this game except the content delivery plans.
I just want to be able to pick up a disc 5 or more years from now with all the gameplay content ready to go. Don't care how much it costs.

League gets new brand new characters every 2~3 months
Catering to your demographic is not really the way to go with these games, and Capcom outlined exactly why in the slides.

There will be AE/Ultra styled pack in discs down the road for sure. Capcom said you only need to own one disc, not that there will be only one.

Well they said with one disc you will never be outdated (aka you can get everything via dlc). That doesn't prevent them from releasing a game of the year version with packed in dlc..
Heroes of the Storm is doing 1 new every 3-4 weeks.

Dota is still working on porting characters from Dota 1. It gets like 2-4 a year at this point, they have 2 left to port from dota 1.
They said you only NEED to buy one disc.
Not that you necessarily won't have the option to buy a more filled out edition later. Also I believe KI does something like that periodically so I'd say it's possible.
Everything detailed at the panel was really positive and promising. I just wish they weren't afraid to change Ryu and Chun-li's looks (this somewhat applies to Cammy too). You can update a character yet keep them instantly recognizable.
Anyway, I was hoping that they would take some time to talk about their internal focus on the Single Player front, which would include helping newer players get into the game and learn its advanced mechanics. Maybe they'll give some updates there at TGS, or maybe even the Playstation event (like its debut last year)?

You and me both!
As for their stance on releasing new characters post-launch for free: this sounds fantastic but I do wonder what the benefit for them will be with this approach (financially). Are they hoping that this will keep the game alive for longer and as such will lead to more cosmetic purchases down the line etc.? Do they anticipate that said purchases would easily compensate them for the character development costs? If so, if those purchases disappoint them in the end, I expect them to stop releasing characters as well...
That said, I can't wait to hear and see more of this game!
