Maybe it means Aleksay Zalazov aka; Biff Slamkovich aka; "The Rockin Ruskie" got a haircut!

He IS Alex standing in the background,Ono confirmed it yesterday at the SFV Panel in NY Comic Con and gave the fans a tease/hope he will be playable in the future,best "news" out of the lackluster panel.

Well fug. Heres to hoping he makes it in, in some sort of way. Either original cast or a future fighter.

Well,this is what Ono said exactly ""I was made very aware how much you guys want Alex. So, I will definitely take that with me to Japan,",no direct confirmatiion of Alex being playable in the future but at least he knows,i think he will be future DLC,the last classic character is a World Warrior,many saying is Dhalsim,i hope not,i prefer Balrog because of his gameplay.

I'm not bothered if Blanka sits it out. It's good that Brazil gets an actual real fighting style to represent them. While somewhat fanciful, SF has been presenting us with various fighting styles of the World.



Ka-Tra

Matt Dahlgren from Capcom said that the last classic character returning may not be from SF2,good shit,last chance for Urien to be part of the initial 16 or maybe a SF1 character,waggle.

That would be unique to see some SF1 character(s) return. We've seen Birdie, Adon, Gen and Eagle. A redesigned Joe, Retsu, Geki, or Lee would be cool to see (apparently Mike is actually Balrog). I don't think any of them would have the welcoming party that R Mika and Karin had but they would be "classic".

Ive been watching videos of recent events and this game is anything but slow. Fast and crisp. Thats the way I see SF5. Put in the right hands and shit goes crazy. Obviously not as crazy as sf4 seeing as the game isn't even out yet but ya know.

Players who log in for two days while the upcoming beta is running will receive the halloween pack for street fighter 4 for free. This only applies to PS4 players. PC players got shafted.

Beta is up, with Vega and Mika selectable. I couldn't find an opponent at all though.

Good lord mika is fun. Might have found my main. Never picked up a character this quick. I know shit can change, but damn. I really enjoy her fighting style.

datamine from the last beta,18 characters, 12 stages and 3 costumes.








Twitter source

so 18 characters,Dhalsim,Zen,Urien and Alex,2 unplayable bosses,dont know.

How exactly do we know its those 4?

Speculation,nothing concrete,there's some alleged "insider" info on Dhalsim from some pro player and the known leaks,the only lock is Zen.

Ahhhh ok. Well heres to hoping. And for beta players, Rashid and Karin are avaliable to play.

Karin is so fun to play as, i love her, she's really strong

Capcom just announced they will start to unlock the phase 1 beta characters. Right now Nash is up. Eventually we will get Chun li, ryu and Cammy, and Birdie. I cant wait to start practicing with Chun Li again. FFFFuuuuuuck.

Edit: it looks like there is more than images in the datamine assets...maybe Ibuki,Juri and more at the link,source is Neogaf,click



Future dlc character,lol

New character getting the C.Viper/Juri anime treatment - or is this a guest character?

PC players have gone digging through the files of SFV and have discovered some files which might hint to characters. Some of those characters were Urien, Alex, Ibuki, Juri and Dhalsim. This could also hint towards background characters. Even still, a background character always has a chance to make it in the roster.

Ono just teased a new picture for SFV. Shows Chun Li getting burned. Probably Dhalsim if leaks are true.

Just popped in to say that I am absolutely LOVING the character theme music from SF5. Vega's especially. Manly tears, y'all. Manly tears.

Mark your calendars cause February 16th is the release date!
