Thanks to the co-development of Capcom, Sony and Dimps (plus they typical huge amount of outsource studios) after four SFV iterations the entire SF cast would be back with a crazy record of 74 characters, each one with their own song and stage:
44 rehashed from SSFIV (all)
23 returning from 2D games
8 brand new characters
Nov 2016 - SFV: 22 from SFIV, 10 from 2D games, 4 new
Nov 2017 - SSFV: 8 from SFIV, 5 from 2D games, 2 new
Nov 2018 - USFV: 8 from SFIV, 5 from 2D games
Nov 2019 - SFV Omega: 6 from SFIV, 3 from 2D games, 2 new
The brand new characters would include Haggar, Goutetsu, Guy's master, teenager version of Ken's son or Tom (Alex's master)
These four big iterations would be available as both phisical and digital retail game.
These 3 big updates would be available as big packs of DLC too. When released one of these versions there would be a free DLC update with rebalance of old characters and a new set of paid DLC costumes for all the available characters.
If you don't want to buy these big DLC packs, you would be allowed to buy each separate new character as DLC.
Oh yeah! I forgot about this; is there a stream for Capcom Cup?
Capcom Cup will be streamed here
