Sagat's coming yo

December, book it.

The SFI arcade path having four opponents practically confirms it.

 

[kirblar]

This is probably the time to do "Buff Birdie" as a costume, for the SF1/A modes.

 

[Turbanator]

Ryu probably won't get it. I do think we'll finally get confirmation on who got closest to Bison at the end of SF2.

Can't wait for them to retcon the ending to the SFII tournament for the 80th time. SFIV's anime prologues were supposed to be the definitive conclusion.

They're not launching the first S3 character a month before S3.

I guess it will be Ryu/Ken, Birdie, Zeku (or maybe Balrog as "Mike"), Sagat.

Whatchu talking bout willis

Akuma was released on December.

 

[kirblar]

Zeku isn't SF1.

Geki as an alt-skin for Vega could lead to him getting into the SF1 ladder though.

Whatchu talking bout willis

Akuma was released on December.

AE is different, there are a boatload of changes coming with it. They're not going put an S3 character into the S2 framework when they're blowing it all sky high in January.

Same reason Ed got delayed due to CFN.

 

[Turbanator]

Whatchu talking bout willis

Akuma was released on December.

S3 launches in January under the name AE.

 

[Scotia]

Yeah, first S3 character will probably drop with AE

EDIT: Turbanator beat me to it

 

[jett]

Well I guess. I hadn't read that season 3 was launching with AE.

 

[Neoxon]

Now that I think about it, maybe Extra Battle is Capcom's answer to the Loot Box system (with the incentive to keep playing to earn costumes & whatnot).

 

[Turbanator]

Well I guess. I hadn't read that season 3 was launching with AE.

Did you think they were just going to arbitrarily drop 28 new V-Triggers in the middle of whenever?

 

[galvenize]

Sagat's default outfit will have hair.

 

[Ganyc]

They're not launching the first S3 character a month before S3.

maybe an unfinished Sagat is in the arcade mode (like Urien in the Story mode) and the full character will released at the end of the month/the following month

edit:

S3 launches in January under the name AE.

or that

Now that I think about it, maybe Extra Battle is Capcom's answer to the Loot Box system (with the incentive to keep playing to earn costumes & whatnot).

yeah, it could be way better than loot box system

 

[Gr1mLock]

I want Sagat to have kick rekkas that look like his SFA tiger raid super.

 

[Syntsui]

Man, I wish we could get new trials with Arcade Edition but nothing indicates that they are willing to do that.

A reworked survival mode is needed too but not even Capcom wants to touch that cesspool.

 

[Blueblur1]

So the Season 3 release timing might be:

January - Sagat
March
May
July
September
October

Thoughts on this?

Why not! Capcpom gonna capcpom.

 

[Turbanator]

Sagat's default outfit will have hair.

I want him to at least have a beard.

Hopefully he's dressed like a monk with a full cloak and everything, but for his VT he rips the threads off and his scar glows for the rest of the round.

 

[Ganyc]

So the Season 3 release timing might be:

January - Sagat
March
May
July
September
October

Thoughts on this?

January - Sagat
March- Sakura
May - Makoto
July - Maki
September - E.Honda
October - Gen

and a 2 month delay for the july character

 

[Ryce]

January - Sagat
March- Sakura
May - Makoto
July - Maki
September - E.Honda
October - Gen

and a 2 month delay for the july character

LMAO at four Japanese characters.

National diversity is honestly a concern of mine. The balance hasn't been great so far, even with the stages.

 

[delSai]

3 seasons without a new true grappler would be so disappointing to me

 

[sixteen-bit]

If Maki gets it I need a sukeban alt throwback to her delinquent youth days

 

[IntelliHeath]

So the Season 3 release timing might be:

January - Sagat
March
May
July
September
October

Thoughts on this?

December - Sagat
Feb - Sakura
April -
June -
August -
October -

But I do predict one of the character would be delayed since it happened to both seasons.

 

[Turbanator]

Sagat is not Japanese.

 

[Turbanator]

December - Sagat

They're not launching the first S3 character a month before S3.

[Blueblur1]

I came up with my personal S3 list thinking of characters who have realistic chances and/or were rumored. I’d like to see:

Sagat
Sakura
Necro
C. Viper
Makoto
Fei Long

Maybe swap out one or two of the bottom half characters for a new character or other existing character.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Same here. I want to see more countries to be repped in the game to push World Warriors agenda more further. Gimme me Hakan, please!

 

[Ryce]

5 if you count Maki.

Gen's Chinese.

[lucebuce12]

Any costumes get announced?

 

[Scotia]

Any costumes get announced?

Just more details on the modes coming with AE from the panel, but there's a stream in about 40 minutes that's apparently about SFV and MvC:I

 

[Ryce]

Any costumes get announced?

No, but in 30 minutes there's going to be an MvCI/SFV presentation at the Twitch stage, so maybe something will be revealed there.

 

[delSai]

Gimme me Hakan, please!

Hakan would be cool and he already has a move that would make a perfect V-Skill.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

3 seasons without a new true grappler would be so disappointing to me

Am I missing something here?

What are Abigail and Laura?

Both of these characters cease to function without the threat of their various command grabs. Laura's mixups become weak (just block until she runs out of EX meter). Abigail's run becomes worthless (just stand block). These characters are "true" grapplers.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

So the Season 3 release timing might be:

January - Sagat
March

September

January - Sagatwhocares

I want more than one character with a 360/720. Even worse that i dont like the one thats in

 

[Turbanator]

Gen's Chinese.

For whatever reason I thought Sagat was Japanese. Excuse my idiocy.

Source?

S3 launches in January under the name AE.

Gfinity series is back and live:

[MrCarter]

Very impressive. This truly is an Acade Edition.

 

[Pompadour]

If Maki gets it I need a sukeban alt throwback to her delinquent youth days

This. I don't want another cheerful, energetic young girl character. I want a squatting, spitting, cursing hardass.

 

[Scotia]

About that

 

[Rymuth]

Alternatively, we could just get Zaki and fulfill that quota by default AND stop disrespecting Rival Schools

 

[MrCarter]

Watching some clips from the panel and here's a nice quote from it that I transcribed and think is a decent summary of Arcade Mode from Capcom's mouth itself:

Nice work man. Although I’ve never been an advocate for Arcade Mode this does sound brilliant and I’m happy for those that have finally got it.

 

[myco666]

So the Season 3 release timing might be:

January - Sagat
March

Thoughts on this?

January - Honda
March - E.Honda
May - He-Honda
July - She-Honda
September - Evil-Honda
October - Violent-Honda

 

[Pompadour]

Yeah, Zaki would be great but if anyone made it in it would be Akira (who would also be great).

 

[lucebuce12]

January - Honda
March - E.Honda
May - He-Honda
July - She-Honda
September - Evil-Honda
October - Violent-Honda

Wow, my birthday's in July and you give me She-Honda in that month?

I love you.

Btw, January should be "A, Honda"

 

[Scotia]

1:45pm to 2pm on the stream is about what's new with SFV

It's actually just a Honda car that sits there and gets beat up due to their new E-sports sponsorship.

Necro & Crimson Viper won't be in Season 3 according to Flowtron, but we may get them eventually some other way.
