Their update schedule nasty. Why not release update at first day of the month instead of last?

Because they took so long with Alex now they have to do it on the last day every time to even make keep a monthly schedule.

>28 May
>Still no March update.
because it still doesn't have a cash shop right?

Literally this.

There's a tourney going on in Germany right now. Luffy and Ryan Hart are there, and I know for a fact some folks from the European Sup Forums group attend as well.

You sure love to cry about a game you supposedly hate.

>Capcom said they're rolling out a new character after tournament this week
>May's character currently hounded by anti-hype and no information from Capcom, like Alex, unlike Guile
Is it SFIII time again?

>Capcom decided to make SFV instead of just remaking Third Strike with 3D models and more characters

I'm enjoying the game. They just need to flesh it out more with content and matchmaking. The actual gameplay is really solid.

>The actual gameplay is really solid.
not the only thing

not surprised a goober is trying to leech of an OC

This, except forget about characters and DLC. The coolest characters won't make up for the fact that online is still wonky as fuck.

They need to whore out some DLC costumes. I would pay good money for it.

3S would just bomb harder with how unbalanced that game was. Not to mention even less friendly towards lower level players.

Also, the vast majority of 3S characters aren't even popular, it would be suicidal for them to have their mainline sequel have so few recognizeable faces.

SFVs biggest failure comes from the fact that they decided to ship it out early because of the CapCup, when keeping USFIV around another year and releasing SFV the next would've undoubtedly gone better.

>Capcom will never figure out how to reverse-engineer GGPO and make the ultimate netplay experience

>Mika's DLC costume makes her look like Taylor Swift in a bird fursuit
I'm still mad.
Like just do a school uniform or something simple, I need the cute Jap twintails or else it ain't fun.

Aww shit, Luffy's on!

They could've just done Street Fighter V: Prologue/Pro Tour Edition like Gran Turismo did when PD wasn't ready to launch the full game. Offer a version with online and versus for dedicated players to play while the full game is released some months after and then offer a digital discount to those that bought the Prologue version.

It's not like it hasn't been done before. I don't understand why Capcom just didn't roll with that instead. SFV should've launched in September '16 instead for the mass market. The current SFV is mostly for the FGC.

>gameplay is great
>no content even if i don't really care
>flawed matchmaking
>"""""""8 frames""""""" meme
I like this game but the bad communication actually non-existant and all the negative hype around it might kill the game. Let's hope capcom do something because I really don't want it to die.
I bought a stick and started to learn the game with SFV, don't fucking die on me I will have nothing else to play on PC until revelator comes out and die the week after release

yes, it will still stay as the most popular fighting game in terms of competitive popularity

It won't die. There will always be people playing SFV online. Even SF4 is still fairly easy to get matches on these days.

>Even SF4 is still fairly easy to get matches on these days.
As someone who has played SFIV religiously, that's far from the truth. Apart from weekends, the game is pretty much dead. Usually the player count on Steam is so low that it's not being counted anymore.

You mean sirene

This was also the only pic I could find that wasn't full tiddies everywhere

This is EXACTLY what they DID do.

They just charged full price and the "discount" is not having to pony up money because eventually new comers aren't going to be able to afford the characters with single player and will then have to pay cash to not be left in the dark until they lose a million times.

Reminds me more of the chick from Devilman.

I'm not playing again until they release Ibuki.

Ibuki is a slut.

Ibuki has been cancelled cause Laura has proven to be a much better slut

Anybody else feel bad for Capcom devs?

They seem to be trying their hardest but constantly get fucked over by their executives.

I hope they really meant it when they said that rushing out SFV is what caused the disappointing sales.

There is always Melty

meh I'm already watching Combo Breaker in a few hours

pools yesterday were very entertaining

who cares as long as they release the new characters?

alex and guile are some of my favorites so I have high hopes for balrog and future DLC characters

They should quit and make a Kickstarter for Boulevard Assailant II.

Ibuki is literally a slut
Shittiest SF waifu

It's fairly obvious that Ono and his team were majorly fucked over by Capcom. Even Sony had to throw them some pity bucks to get the game out. Major portions of the game were outsourced to other Asian countries for cheap and Ono's team wasn't given the size or time it needed to make a proper fleshed out game. It's Capcom suits are fucking retards. They've basically let all their IPs fall from grace because of their greed. Bunch of cocksuckers. The Dragon's Dogma PC port was the only good thing they've done for years.

>Shittiest SF waifu
You mean Ingrid.

Basically. I assume they will release something that is basically nothing this time and call it the update for the month.

If they don't decide to fix the matchmaking then it will slowly whittle out until its the same faces in the FGC with sellout sponsors playing the games.

There should be no reason I'm lagging with a 5 bar or for it to constantly match me from people from Europe also maybe its just me but everybody online seems to be super gold and plat and I cannot find anybody my skill level to play against. So you have a gold faggot win or lose rush off because of muh points and I'll have to wait like 5-6 minutes for another match again. Casual matches are cool but I seem to find even stronger players there I don't think rank is considered in casual matches.

I could actually have smooth consistent matches like SF4 then I'd be so happy but when a match is good in SF5 its great. Like anime tier netcode.

Ingrid is the best thing to have graced the SF franchise with her presence. SFV is inevitably going to have her in the 2nd wave of DLC to make sure the franchise stays afloat and manages to draw in new players.

You Ingrid fags are awful.

Okay you got me there

How does it feel that your turd of a non canon waifu will never be in another game?

Someone post the "why ingird is bad" chart, i didn't save it

a what?

...

>All thses games
>no Melty blood

>street fighter v commentators watch and comment on guilty gear

We're simply excited for her return, since with the way SFV has been going it's pretty obvious that she'll be the first to make a return.

>non canon
Keep thinking that, because it's very clear that she isn't. Being referenced in different works despite not having been in a game for some time speaks volumes.

Also the chart that you're talking about is incredibly faulty, and I've already pointed out in the past why many of the examples given apply for several other characters and doesn't exempt them from being playable in the slightest.

Ingrid has more to offer to this franchise than any other character that has yet to be put in, and is a failsafe way to guarantee more sales. It's only a matter of time until they decide to kick off the 2nd wave of DLC with a bang by announcing her as the first one on the list.

We'll get Gill before Ingrid.

>it's CPT event
>1,391 views
I fucking hate Europ, why is our screen so fucking dead

>play again after not touching the game since march
>alex and guile are in my roster

What? I didn't buy them, are they making the characters free now as apology to such a fucked up launch? lol right this is capcom, what's the catch?

>It's obvious that Ingrid is going to be added in the game!
>I like a character so everyone must love the character and that guarantees sales!
I don't actually have anything against the character itself but damn you're delusional.

If they make the game $30 during evo as a sale, it will sell a good amount of copies. Hopefully, story and store is available by then. Do it capcom people aren't gonna buy a fighting game for $60

>Ingrid has more to offer to this franchise than any other character
Holy fucking shit my sides
This has to be bait

Nobody can be this delusional when we have already seen a lot of potential characters in story mode

They're not free, Capcom is just incompetent so they haven't put out the Zenny shop yet, thus they can't sell the DLC fighters.

I wish they'd at least show a teaser or something, they're waiting for the very end of the month to do it.

because muh LoL, muh csgo, muh fifa

spending 2000 hours to get diamond and LEM is more important even though I would never get it, but I'm having fun raging at muh teammates
>why dont these faggots just try fighting games when its all about you

Very few big name players unlike China/Japan
Good commentators are few and far between
Top EU players have boring playstyles and don't shift gears for hype moments.
Stream monsters are in US/Canada and not EU

In terms of sales and character appeal, Ingrid offers more than those who could have a bigger tie-in to the story. Working Ingrid in as an overseer or such has always been easy for SF anyway so there's never been an issue with that.

Bargain bin Athena is pretty lackluster. Maki, Eagle or Sodom would all be better picks for a new Alpha returnee.

Not a single one of the designs that were made for Athena have come close to being as cute as Ingrid. She's far from being a 'bargain bin' version of her, and more just a straight-up upgrade with a more appealing attitude on top of that.

Eagle is the only one out of the ones you listed that are remotely good anyway. Ingrid is by far the best Alpha pick, due to being the best pick in the entire franchise overall.

If SFV crashes, so too will a good portion of the FGC with it. So I don't think it will happen.

Okay i know 100% that this is bait now but im gonna ply along anyway

Let's say that even if Capcom drop the story mode they have been hyping up since release just to add in a unimportant side character.
Even if they do that then you are probably right she would be easy to put in because she has no relevance to the story what so ever.

And yea, im sure a lot more people know who Ingrid is and want her rather then E.Honda, Blanka, Segat, Akuma, Makoto, Fei Long, Dan, Cody, Guy, T.Hawk, Dudly and Sakura

Im sure you will get her in because as you said she is so popular

>know who Ingrid is
I have never used that as my argument, because she didn't get much exposure initially. My argument is that her design coupled together with her personality attracts an actual new playerbase due to her niche not being filled by any other character in the SF franchise.

Capcom wants SF to grow, not to remain with the same playerbase forever, and thus they have to branch out in these ways. Ingrid will obviously draw in many different players in Japan due to her cutesy attitude, and with that audience being bigger now than ever, it's a guaranteed success.

This in turn means that the second wave of DLC will inevitably have Ingrid, because the way SFV is right now they can't afford to not pull her out to get those sales.

Still salty that Sagat apparently isn't going to be in the game.
It'll be all OK if they add Oro tho.

it's doing better financially than sf3 did.

>her niche not being filled by any other character in the SF franchise.
Probably because you can find it in any and every other anime fighter. Street Fighter has always had its main draw in the varied and international cast.

Here is what to expect to be revealed at the tournament if you'd like to remain optimistic:

Balrog
Extra Battle Mode

also Vegas Stage and the Zenny shop if you feel super optimistic

>you can find it in any and every other anime fighter
Exactly, which means "you can find it in other games". They've specifically expressed interest in expanding their playerbase, and while usually it would be too foreign of a concept for them to appeal to that audience in particular, Ingrid already exists and is perfect for that.

It's inevitable that she'll be in SFV.

Game's already dead, last night at prime time I got the same plat guy 5 times in a row at ranked. I'm ultra silver.

>We have Karin

>not to remain with the same playerbase forever
>let's not and in other old characters because they have been in other games
>but MY old character that has been in other games is totally fine
>acutally useing the word inevitably
Thanks for proving my point

>last night at prime time I got the same plat guy 5 times in a row at ranked
The player count is actually high enough to avoid this, it's just that their matchmaking system is entirely fucked.

You might be right, but either way it sucks and it's very demoralizing to keep playing

Ingrid is not an Ojou-sama chara
Ingrid is not a Gypsy
Ingrid is not a schoolgirl

Ingrid is a wise character who doesn't show off her knowledge, and instead settles for acting in a more childish and cute way, with moments of apparent wisdom. None of the characters you listed remotely fill in the niche that she has, and you would have to be looking at an incredibly broad spectrum to even assume so.

I am not speaking for myself, I am speaking for the future of the game, something which will inevitably be a failure without Ingrid's inclusion. As a result, that does in fact make her playable appearance in SFV an inevitability.

literal cancer

Oh god this guy
I really hope you are not making this up and believe 100% of what you are saying
Please don't ever leave these threads

This is some top-tier waifu faggotry.
Just make sure that you post in these threads when the DLC drops and there's no sign of your shitty waifu. I want to read your whining about the injustice you will inevitably suffer.

you're half right, but your reasoning is bad

Ingrid could make it in simply on the grace that she'd be a surprise reveal, and SFV has been all about surprise characters to Ono. Alex, Birdie and Nash are back, so the door is open to characters like Q and Ingrid making it back someday as well. Ingrid is also Ono's first donutsteel, so there is that.

>someone actually took time to make this image

How autistic was that guy

I know some future faggots will get triggerd at this. Please go on for ingrid's sake

When is combo breaker and when does it end ? I want to see that "surprise"

I don't think one was promised

I heard Sunday?

Ono probably refuses to bring her back because he's ashamed of what he made.

Because your players are all shit
Lmao even Australia managed to get 3000 viewers.

A surprise was promised.

>they play Rashid's theme again

Considering that retard Honzo isn't running it and a man who actually knows how to please fans is then no they're not going to play le ebin meme again.

by who?

>kusoge

@CapcomFighters

so both Guile themes then?

Seriously though, I'm hoping for Balrog and (if we're lucky) Extra Battle mode and a Story Mode trailer.

They said they had something "special" for us. They didn't say it was a surprise.

>Rose will never come back
Kill me

...

The surprise is TekkenxSF

Don't lose hope!

New Vampire game.

I believe!

Anyone want to make predictions on what changes Balrog will see?

I had good luck predicting Guile's changed with my friends with his V-Trigger that I initially referred to as 'Remy shit'.

Something like a command grab that exists primarily for stun and doesn't knockdown (much like Alex' stungun) and a V-Trigger that removes charge time would be my guess

twitter.com/CapcomFighters/status/734858513860595712

Yeah, should be the character and maybe a sampling of whatever else is in the update. Considering this would be the first time they ever announced something via a tourney (even if it is late as fuck) you'd think it was something significant, but Capcom...meeting expectations, eh.

even more old and busted than chun
