watching in slow mo and it definitely look like an additional input/separate move... you can tell the player is buffering it
also looks they're doing the weird cuts mid combo... the knee into c.mp link has a cut between it

This may be an unpopular opinion and I am definitely an SF casual but...
I hate the art style and as a SF casual I at least want to like what I see while I am getting bodied. I really hope there is another Capcom VS game with a more traditional art style. Like Cap vs SNK style or 3rd Strike.

Hitstop still looks like a CyberConnect 2 game or some shit

SFV's mechanics continue to make me curious. Universal power ups? Darkstalker style pounces? Heavy combos?
I enjoyed the Bison trailer. Probably my favorite SF character, but I don't enjoy playing as him. Maybe SFV will change that.

Those days are over. Best we can hope for are interesting new styles. Which isn't really happening in SF5 atm really.
Bison looks kinda boring but with a cooler headstomp and potentially better teleport. Not much to report here.

The texture work still looks as bad as SF4.

It such a waste for a Namco x Sega x Capcom game to not be a fighter.
Reading the Alpha 3 thread on GAF. I don't think people remember how good Chun Li, Ryu, Rose, and Ken were in Alpha 2. Especially Chun Li.
Or how good Alpha Counters were.
This one actually doesn't work anymore after patches. But maybe there's a new variation that does, so it could be that.

Even more of a waste for it to be what it actually is.

I wish this got a PSN/XBLA release like 3SOE, but apparently that was real expensive and had limited ROI.
Matter of fact, it probably would have been a better idea to do A3OE instead b/c the characters would've been more recognizable.

Bison feels like he is a just-do-stuff character vs his corner trap pressure style. That said, I am really happy they have him in the game. A combo after slide looks cool and his moves looks nice and chunky.

Shoulda called it Street Fighter Alpha 4
Alpha counters sucked in a3.
Did no life, took meter, took a bar of guard meter as well.
Usually not worth it. I want something between A2's super strong ones and A3's weaker counters.
I also want Alpha Anthology on PS4 w/ GGPO netcode.
Where?
huh? I didn't see any chains in that Bison trailer
Not from that footage.
Nothing he did there indicated chains or dial-a-combo. He would just go into special or EX moves after a normal or two.
What I meant is that it wasn't present in the new trailer if he thinks he saw chains there, so unless he saw them elsewhere then it doesn't look like chains are in SFV.
iirc, doesn't Japan hate Alpha 2 as well? I recall Nuki being dominant in that game, especially with how good Chun was in that game, and saying he thought the game was awful.
People saying in the A3 thread that A2 is more popular, but I disagree about that. I see people giving A2 love in forums, but that's it.
Edit: I like both A2 and A3, but I feel like a lot of people really never went in on both of those games. A2 had it's fair share of bad.

Yeah, I'm hoping for complete newcomers (or my boy Urien).
Really glad they are revealing him now, a few weeks before E3. I was already concerned they would just reveal Bison and maybe tease another character, but since they already revealed him, and left no teaser behind, we'll probably get a good chunk of news @ e3.
I bet a new character will be introduced

paint the fence was a motion in CvS2. Other than that, always charge.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
save me OTGesus
Wasn't he a motion character in at least one of the VS games?
LI Joe pointed it on twitter that Bison when into head stomp after a crouching normal so he probably going to stay as a charge character.
Nothing in the footage made me think "not a charge character".
Yeah, not sure what people are seeing there.
Don't understand why people want to change things to motions. Bison would be stupid as fuck if scissor kick was a motion.
He would certainly be different.
Walk up midscreen, am I going to play footsies with you? No I'm going to throw a fireball/headstomp/scissor kick/slide you.
So.... like SF4?
That's okay considering otherwise they would be trapped by EX Mode > Put four fireballs on the screen in 2 seconds like we saw with Chun in a past video
