Street Fighter V (PS4/PC exclusive)

[Asura]

I'm genuinely pleased to see R.Mika in the game. Given the KI style approach they're planning with DLC fighters and how many were used in SF4 I can only imagine they're planning on branching much further out on fighters. Wouldn't be surprised to see Ingrid, Maki, Karin, Poison and 100% Juri in time.

Yeah, Juri will definitely be back - if Capcom were to bring back only one of the SF4-introduced fighters, it'd be her - and I say that as a massive Abel fan. She's just been hugely popular as a mascot for the entry, what with all the cosplay.

This sums up R.Mika



Capcom has released some official screens too:


























What do we think the chances are as well that the PS4 version will end up with PS exclusive fighters?

Probably. If Sony stump up enough coin.

[Asura]

I don't think it will.

Seeing as though Capcom have totally ruled out an Xbox One version, Sony are competing with the PC. I don't think it warrants that kind of expenditure.

I wouldn't be surprised to see exclusive costumes, though.

World wide beta starts tomorrow think it will only include ryu/chunli/charlie/bison/cammy and birdie.


Does seem like SFV was influenced by the recent killer instinct quite a bit

Is the worldwide beta still a sign up / invite only thing?

A couple more preorder costumes:













Presumable they'll be released later on as each is exclusive to a different retailer, which always annoys fans.

Also on the way for PS4 is a Collectors Edition

$99

That Chun Li outfit makes her shape look even more ridiculous. Also she is sitting on a log.

Thats what she said...

I hope Capcom resist the temptation to go uber-sexy with their DLC costumes, what with this being a freemium game of sorts.

A lot of the Japanese-centric freemium titles do that. You see it with the card-trading games on iOS, basically rarer and more valuable cards get progressively less clothed/sexier. It's sexploitation and it's pretty low. It's fine for those freemium games where it's their raison d'etre, but in the case of Street Fighter, it shouldn't need gimmicks like that.
