^ really good breakdown of pretty much everything in the teaser video.

Elemental activations are a very good guess based on what we saw there. Interesting stuff indeed.

 

I had purchased SF IV and Ultra SF IV for PS3, but i think i'll skip buying this one on ps4.

I'm a total scrub who mostly pulls moves off by sheer luck. best to stay away

 

Just get rid of input shortcuts, have a good netcode and I'm happy for the most part.

 

Yeah, that's a good breakdown.
I wonder what Dan's element would be.  

 

^This.

I will also try, try to main just one character and not changing it every so often. I admire guys like Luffy who always play just one character no matter what.

 

Seriously, PLEASE.

 

And get rid of Rufus.  

 

And Fuerte and Blanka pls. Another thing I would request is when playing online, the ability to see your opponents points or win loss record before playing them. That way better players can avoid lesser skilled ones and vice versa. The matchmaking in this game is total garbage.

 

The only problem with that is that some unscrupulous better players would abuse it to cherry pick lesser skilled players for easy wins to pad their ranking points and ego.

 

Awful idea. It ruined online for VF5. If you want a closed garden of "rad dudes" then cultivate it yourself. These lesser players can't get better when someone disconnects every time they get into a match.

 

Agreed. In VF5 it got to a point when only noobs would challenge me, because most 'higher end' players wouldn't want to fight me if I joined their sessions, and they never joined mine.

Only a few would regularly fight me, and they were super uber players. I didn't have a problem with them beating me though, I'd just record the fights and analyse at leisure.

On topic (kinda) SFV doesn't look that much different to me. Having said that I threw in USF4 on 360 the other day and there was nobody was playing it. Has everyone migrated to Xrta Body Odour or what?

 

It would probably be water. His strong koryuken from SF4 causes water to surround his fist, like fire surrounds Ken's.

 

chuns already looks like water. I'm sure they'd give dan something completely ridiculous if he's in there.

 

I think it still might be water. If they stick all of the shotos in, you could give one to each.
Ryu Lightning
Ken Fire
Sakura Wind
Dan Water

Depending on how many and what they choose.
Akuma Fire, Lightning, or Darkness (represented by his typical purple flames)
Gouken Earth or Light

If they're including lightning, I can also see them going with light and darkness. Characters like Juri and Bison would also use darkness, while light would fit Rose.

I was also thinking about something interesting. What if this possible elemental system is something you select? If you think about the fact that it affected Ryu and Chun Li differently. It seems like the sort of thing that Capcom would make a choice to keep the balance. In a way I kind of hope so. It would be very interesting to see how it would affect certain characters.

 

They need to put the ladies in some bikini's.  

 

Yeah I was thinking about this the first time I watched that breakdown video. He seems to think they are character bound but I think it would be much more beneficial, for the sake of variety, if the elements (if they are actually there) are more of a selectable thing and not character bound.

 

I popped it in last night and there were quite a few players online.
But for some reason, the 31 MB update took 15 minutes to download.

That would be kind of cool.
Each character can select from a stable of elements.
Just as long as there are no GEMS!

I can get behind this idea.  

 

You know perfectly well that'll be DLC

 

More than likely it's a Timed Exclusive, like TR is for XBOne.

 

Still won't stop the idiots in the FGC from making their usual snap judgements, screaming it's gems all over again, and proceed to try and bury SFV like they did SFxT :/
