SFV's Urien coming 9.23 with dailies and some stage transitions
- Thread starter TheSpoiler
- Start date
Link? this is obv with aegis right?
It's all but confirmed at this point.
WSO session from this week.

Go to around the 25 min mark to see them playing around with it.
Basically throw them into aegis and it OTGs them like Ibuki bombs, then super.
Obviously a lot of bar, but it's still 40%, and I'm sure non-super versions will be figured out.

It's been confirmed in their latest earnings call. We will most likely get more details at Capcom Cup or later.

Yep. I was disappointed that they seemed to almost completely fail to capitalize on Hot Ryu's success with more similar content, but hopefully Urien will be the start of a new wave.
this never worked for me in lab they added it in capcom lowkey giving Urien that power.
Id like to L tackle or headbutt, it might not hit but it would move them enough to get hit by aegis. He's so fun ._.
Good. The launch was messy, but I really do love the fighting system and mechanics. Some of the upcoming nostalgia comics are wonderful. I feel like the game's economy is improving.

You can not like fanservice, but don't expect something that has contained successfully fan service for over 20 years to suddenly not have it. It's just not a reasonable expectation to place on the developers or artists or fanbase of said product.
If you're not a fan of fanservice, SF is probably not for you, and it hasn't been for a long time.

It's also been heavily alluded to in the CPT update post Haunts put on the PSBlog, specifically where he answers the question as to why they focused on finishing DLC content/stage transitions when there are so many other feature requests that fans have - short answer is that DLC content so far had been created in tandem with larger development efforts that we will be hearing about at a later point.

Yeah if she isn't a season 2 character I'd be shocked.
They also cast Liam O'Brien as Gill, so take that for what you will.
That's nuts, SFIV and every single game before it had a much better ratio of fanservice. I got into gaming because of Street Fighter and it's disingenuous to pretend SFV didn't double down on fanservice.
It's one thing not liking X, and it's an entirely different thing trying to shut down discussion about X.

Yeah, the game has only 1 SFIV rep, and that game is the most popular SF ever. They gotta have more, and from the newcomers in SFIV Juri and Viper are the most popular. I'd say she's a lock, especially with her having three different costumes when Capcom revealed her card thing or whatever it's called lol. Probably her Story/Premium costumes.
To be fair, beyond Viper, Juri, & (technically) Poison, not many of the SFIV guys are that popular. An argument could be made for Decapre & Abel, though.
Close the site? Because that's pretty much every discussion.

SfV doubled down on fanservice over 4? Ur talking about SF4, the game where it's 2nd female character announced wore a suit with a cleavage window? Or the game that introduced a the first Korean character, j
Juri, who was half-clothed (she is fully covered in SFV), or Poison & Elena? Continued schoolgirl Sakura despite it taking place years after the Alpha series?
Heck, SF3 features a lose-pose art with Elena and her ass is up in the air in a super sexual pose. SF3 also features Ibuki, a female ninja with holes in her pocket that show enough skin to let you know she isn't wearing underwear. The Alpha series, and SF Alpha 3 in particular, both established the Bison dolls and their half-naked and fully devoted servitude to their Lord Bison, with all of the sex-slave allusions that it draws. Not only do neither female character in SF2 not wear pants that cover their legs, but one of them doesn't have a win pose that doesn't fully showcase her butt.
SFV doesn't feature any level of fanservice that hasn't existed in the series before.
I feel like Poison was maybe the most sexualized female in the game, and now almost everyone is on that level. Cammy got bigger breasts and got rid of the few pants she had in her closet. Chun took her sexy SFIV dress and cut it in half. Juri dropped her baggy pants in favour of skin tight latex. We lost Makoto and got Mika. It's honestly a pretty blatant design choice - why is it so difficult to accept for some people?
I can definitely see rufus and fuerte on the chopping block. No models, story mode voice-overs, or cameos. They also have no history prior to SF4 to help them with the nostalgia factor either.

True, it also doesn't help that the SFIV reps are just so tacky. That's one thing Tekken nails (usually, sans characters like LuckEh ^_* Kl03 [^o^]), the newcomers are usually instantly iconic (Lili/Raven in TK5, Alisa/Bob in TK6, Shaheen/Kazumi in TK7)
Okay, I won't refer to sexual pandering as fanservice.
No, it's more in line with "MORE kinds of characters = better than mostly sexy characters".
In their official mission statment, they said they plan on continuous support for this title.
PC or PS4?
I mean how about we wait and see what characters are added in season 2? Of the returning females (Chun, Cammy, Juri, Karin,Ibuki and Mika)...only 1 or 2 of them historically weren't initially designed to be sexy. Mika being highly requested (along w/\ Juri) and then Laura being a missed opportunity has skewed things a bit with the smaller cast size.
So you want me to not judge the existing game because of what might or might not exist in the future? This is what I mean by "shutting down the discussion". We can talk about the netcode, the disconnecters, survival mode, not being able to rebind keyboards on PC, loading times - but can we please leave the sexual pandering alone?

SF has always had fanservice out the yinyang, this ain't new hat

It would be more proper to say it had it starting from super sf2
Hey, I hope! But it's kind of undeniable that the current roster feels super homogeneous in the sex appeal factor, and that veteran characters got a bit sexed up for this game. I think you can enjoy this while acknowledging it happened.
Cammy had alts with pants and smaller breasts just last time we saw her in SFIV, lol. See, no one is actually arguing that all the girls should be wearing burkas, but that the game got more fanservice-y this time around. And Cammy is not really a character I dislike, personally, but her role as the sexy SF gal is pointless when that's everyone's role
They're not going to happen. Jeez, I hadn't even mentioned how females and only females got summer outfits. I respectfully disagree with the idea that SF had always been like this.

There is nothing wrong with fanservice as long its not poorly executed and just trash like Laura.

Laura outfit is a stereotype of Brazilian women. Thers nothing trash about how Laura looks or dresses. Just do this experiment... google "Brazillian Women" and go see what kind of images you will see. Then tell me if Laura is more or less dressed than what u see.

Could have been executed better tho. She is just walking boobs with no brain.
