I also agree. They've done that shit 3 times already with Super Street Fighter II/Super Turbo, Street Fighter Zero 3/Alpha 3, & with original Street Fighter IV & up.
If there's going to be returning characters, then it needs to be a mix-up between the casts of SF II, SF III, SF IV, & SF Zero/Alpha like they're doing right now; Don't just give us the same old predictable 17 character cast from Super Turbo. Only bring back the ones who really deserve to be returning.
I am sure the original 12, and quite probably the 5 new challengers, will be in the game in one way or another, via later DLC.
There's no point fighting over it; every archetype will have some representation (grapplers, long limbs guy, divekicker, etc etc) at the start, it just may not be who you expect (like, Birdie over Zangief/THawk). Eventually Zangief will come, and prolly THawk too.

Was just wondering: when they say no more crouch tech, do they mean that it's not possible to tech throws while crouching? Or that no light kick will come out when pressing the LP+LK command? I know that's how throws are in Killer Instinct and Blazblue.
Also, is everyone glad that crouch tech is gone? I've seen many people complain about it over the yrs, so I'm guessing most people just hated it. It can create bad habits, I'll admit.

When you press lp+lk, you get a throw whiff animation.
And yes, I'm glad crouch tech is gone. Commit to one or the other. You shouldn't cover your ass with a good, quick low attack, and a throw tech.
ST had throw softerning instead of throw breaking. I see this as a good thing.
SFA2 had the same thing. I would say I'd prefer some sort of visual queue for that, like a unique animation for a broken throw.
Don't know the exact time. Expect Cacpom to be on stage around the 2 AM hour.
SF2 characters are well represented for a reason. They contain all the basic archetypes that most fighting game characters are based on.
Hoping for Fei, but I know he wont come
And new characters can be "based on" those archetypes and take them to another level + have better design (ie Remy is a boom/flash kick character who is designed to utilize juggles). I think the issue is not the mechanics of characters (charge, grappler, tank, glass cannon, etc), but that yeah, Gief and Sim might come but when they do, nobody is gonna use them. But knowing they're there safe and sound on the character select screen will make a few people feel better.
Just because it's old doesn't make it good, and just because it's new doesn't make it bad or inferior, especially when we don't even know what the new characters will be; they could end up being more iconic than anyone besides Ken/Ryu for all we know.

Also, Mike is M. Bison. Same character.

I can kind of see Twelve working. V-Trigger could be X.C.O.P.Y., V-Skill could be his air dash or invisibility.
That said, Twelve is like... Literally dead last on my list of desired characters.
But SFV is shipping with 4 new characters. Birdie is going to be one of the characters that get announced today. Nash has already been confirmed. Ryu, Chun, and Bison(with the exception of SF3) are always givens as they're the most iconic characters in the series. Do you guys not want any SF2 characters to make an appearance or something?

Wow I never noticed that.
Old
Combofiend breakdown
Dictator can just absorb one hit without releasing projectile by not holding down the buttons. Charlie can actually damage his opponent with his V-skill when close enough.
Twelve needing v skill to air dash would be stupid. It's like 60% of the character.
So far every single character shown was in Street Fighter Alpha. :-\ I'm not complaining since it's early and it's been a while for Birdie/Nash and everyone is being revamped, but yo... we have SF2 characters already: Ryu, Chun, Bison. And you know Ken will be in it. Do I not want Blanka, Honda, Vega, Generic Boxer, Sim, Guile, in this game? No, hell no I do not. They are boring/tired as shit. As a Cammy player in SF4 I don't even want Cammy in this game since she's been around the block too, but oh well.
V-skills build meter, not cost it.
Building meter from doing up-forward, forward? that sounds like a really bad idea.
So far V-Skill is tied to mk+mp.
Yeah, and it'd probably need to have a hurtbox that needs to connect during the first few frames like Chun-Li to build meter.
Idunno, maybe building meter by landing hits while invisible is the better idea.
Or just not including him at all.

They could, and yes, her character is very cool...I am a bit salty about her in general though, maybe she can be DLC lol...
My biased view of her aside, conceptually, I like her.
But as Rice Eater pointed out, I also hate her lol..
Yes! Outside of a small handful I do not want to see the originals.
3PM tomorrow, but it's likely in the Sony conference starting now.
