These guys are just whining about nonsense. Nobody would play an old woman. The same way movies with old women don't sell very well. Most don't want to look at them, simple as. This "diversity for the sake of diversity" is just pure nonsense. Let them play some immortal character, or just find some old woman in real life and "play" with her.

I'm tired of these losers. It's that Daemos idiot at SRK. That's why I don't post at these large sites.

She grabbed Chun and Ryu out of the air.

lol Daemos. I made a comment on SRK, saying that I wanted R. Mika to have another sexy alternate costume. 5 "Agree"... 2 "Dislikes."
One of them were one from Daemos. He has this weird tendency of making exceedingly dumb and/or weird comments.
Then there is also another individual who has a rather... odd thought processing about R. Mika's costume. He still has not replied to me yet after I commented back to him. I got a feeling he is another one of those losers who want R. Mika to look like something that... none... of... us... want... to... imagine. Some of past posts don't necessarily help either.

What the fuck IS it with these players wanting women to look like a bunch of men, old women, or characters that theoretically would not appeal to anyone except a VERY small minority...? These have GOT to be some weird-ass motherfuckers.

Seriously, it's like they stab themselves in the stomach every time they post. Impractical clothes? 99% of the clothes are impractical. Such a dumb argument. It's like they don't run out. The ONE thing about SRK that made it at least a little tolerable was that it wasn't PC friendly. Now these fruitcakes show up. I just never thought I'd see the day where MEN would complain about hot women. These are dark times indeed.

These guys are just big time simps and believe in this stuff like a religion.

So they jump then input an air special move?

[Great Dark Hero]

No. It's R. Mika's Wingless Airplane special move. An air grab. (Notation: qcf+K).
You can also whiff the Wingless Airplane and use it as mobility option because it does not have that much recovery when R. Mika lands on the ground.

It's looked like she was being grabbed to me at first when I saw it. R. Mika makes me think of KoF when she plays.

ohhh that move! I was wondering about that super jump looking move!! You have any idea how active it is? Wondering if it'll be like Hugos in ultra before the nerf. He could catch people pretty much full screen with his ex ??back breaker??

I couldn't tell you, but it seems active enough. The arc is not wide though.

Yes. They don't need my thanks though. They're quite well compensated for their efforts. If I was making money off of a site I would cater to a large audience too. It only makes sense.

Are Alex and Urien unlikely at launch?

www.eventhubs.com/news/2015/sep/04/alex-and-uriens-simultaneous-inclusion-street-fighter-5-launch-looking-unlikely/



Editor's note: To preface this, I'd like to say that this story is in no way a confirmation of anything. This is simply a theory based on the public information we know currently.

There are still six characters that have yet to be revealed for the Street Fighter 5 launch roster. As we draw closer to the game's release, more and more information about the day 1 line up surfaces.

As far back as the game's announcement, rumors claiming a handful of playable characters at launch have been floating around. We've heard Karin, R. Mika (who was actually confirmed), and more. But right now, we want to talk about two specifically: Street Fighter 3's Alex and Urien.

Alex and Urien are two characters that have been highly demanded by fans. In our Street Fighter 5 character poll, Alex received the most votes out of 64 characters, while Urien was fourth highest on the list.

Despite the rumors and popularity, the chance of seeing both Alex and Urien in Street Fighter 5 at launch seems unlikely right now.

Here's why...
During their presentation at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year, Capcom released a slide that showed the Street Fighter 5 launch roster with all of the officially announced characters (at the time) included. Slots with question marks made up the rest of the line up, but what's most interesting is how they were organized.

Take a look at the image below (which we've added to in order to help prove our case).
Street Fighter 5 roster theory: image #1
Click images for larger versions


If you look at the background behind the character slots, you'll notice that there are three colors that seemingly divide up the cast. The eight on the left-hand side are inside the green, the four on the top-right reside in the purple, and those in the bottom-right sit inside the blue.

Although this may seem like an innocuous detail, we can now confirm that these colors actually represent something. In a recent Capcom interview from GameSpot, we learned that the Street Fighter 5 launch roster would consist of eight classic characters "that you'd expect in a Street Fighter game", four brand new fighters, and four from previous SF games that haven't been seen in some time (Nash and R. Mika used as examples.)

With this information, we have added in the more recently announced characters (everyone after Ken) into the spots they'd most likely fall under in that image. We see that there are two more classic fighters, three brand new, and one "hasn't been seen in some time" character left to be announced.

If this is the case, we can make an educated guess and say that there is only room for either Alex or Urien, but not both.

The aforementioned characters probably wouldn't fall under the green category, considering they've only really made an appearance in the Street Fighter 3 series. They're certainly not brand new characters. Which leaves them in the "haven't been seen in a while" category.

If we had to guess whether it'd be Alex or Urien in Street Fighter 5 at launch, we'd have to choose the latter. There have been clues that Street Fighter 3's Illuminati -- a secret organization of which Urien and Gill are members -- may play a part in SF5's story line.

Additionally, Nash dons a jewel on his forehead similar to Urien and Gill in SF3, only further pointing in the direction of the group's involvement.

As it stands right now, there haven't been many clues, if any, about Alex in Street Fighter 5. So, at this point we feel that Urien might be a lock for the Street Fighter 5 launch roster.

It is entirely possibly that neither character is going to be there day 1, or Capcom could even throw a curve ball and include both. Only time will give us the answers we seek, but until then, it's fun to theorize.

Do you think we'll see both Urien and Alex playable at launch? Will we only see one of them or neither? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

@jack-2 and I would more than likely have plenty of fun, although... aspirin would INDEED be necessary.
Some of the stuff one would see on SRK is so tragically funny.

I wonder if Sodom would be considered a "classical" character. The issue is that appeared he only appeared in the Alpha series but he comes from Final Fight... I'm not sure about what to say but he is another character that I would definitely want to see again.
I don't necessarily mind Alex or Urien (personally, I do like Alex a character but I don't think completely understood his game plan when I played him in 3S at some point. Urien is definitely fun to play for sure... you have Tokido and many other intellectual players to thank for that. Not necessarily a fan of his design though). One would believe that these characters would come back once more but not in the initial starting roster at the very least as the higher ups at Capcom clearly stated that there is going to be more characters on the way after the official release of SFV.
Then there is Zangief and/or Dhalsim to consider whom are also classic characters. Then there is also Juri... whom is from SFIV. Karin is more than likely going to make it into the initial roster...

Sodom is great and I'd honestly love to get my hands on him more than Alex. SF3 diehards tend to hype of 3s a lot and while there are cool characters, Alpha had an overall more solid roster honestly. Since we have Mika I could live without Alex. Urien would be fun though.

When you say design do you mean look or playstyle?

Juri is definitely on of the best design fighting game characters in recent memory. I could do without Dhalsim and Zangief though.

Enjoy your aspirin lol. I thought d3v warned them to keep that SJW garbage out of those threads anyways. I notice they didn't respond to the last comments thankfully.

Oh yeah, d3v is a pretty cool guy. Gave me a few pointers for Cammy on the Beta via Twitter.
Trust me, even if Alex were to be present in SFV, I still wouldn't main him or even play him. I find R. Mika to be more awesome in EVERY. SINGLE. WAY. <3
To elaborate on Urien, it's his looks I don't like that much but his general game play style, move set and even his personality is okay (one would wonder if he is a potential boss character for SFV but we'll have to see what happens). I was mostly speaking objectively about those other characters objectively.
I'll gladly take Juri and/or Karin over either of those characters (I don't really mind Dhalsim though).

[WarMachineRhodey]

For my wild guess for a character that might be in SFV i say Dean from final fight 3 lol.

Yea he has a tall order for him there.

For me Mika is WAY better than Alex and that's why I was wondering why people wanted him in over her. She great design and fanservice rolled into one so it's a win/win.

Dhalsim like Zangief is too limited and sadly games are anti fireball/zoning now since newbs don't like it. Every character has a way around them it seems. He also isn't that important to the storyline. WHo knows though.

[JACK-2]

I want Alex in, but not over Mika.
