That's probably also correct. I imagine the SF team doesn't want to run into any licensing fuckups like they have with Marvel.
Who knows what kind of deals Namco has made with SNK, Square Enix and uh AMC though.
I need a SF game with a WORKING FUCKING NETCODE before i can complain about balance..
I don't actually believe it's made that big of a difference for most of these games. It's made Soul Calibur and NRS seem cheap in the past IMO.
Half the crowd walked out because Smash 4 had an all-Bayo top-3. We see Devil Jin, Jakk-7 and Dragunov at every major T7 top-8. Cell and Vegeta are everywhere in DBFZ. Ruby will dominate BB Cross Tag this year. What world do you live in where this fighting game ever really exists beyond the odd outlier year?
If ST were actually competitive today, it would be a whole lot of O.Sagat. 3S had 5 Chuns in top-8 in it's last year at EVO. Even SF4 had years of multiple Akumas, multiple Fei Longs, multiple E.Ryus.
Based on what? It was already implied that G's trailer would be shown before top 8. We're not necessarily getting anything after.

I dunno about that. The Geese trailer had almost two million views. The Abby trailer less than a third of that. :P
Soul Calibur probably was too ridiculous about it.
I mean, I know you right, especially how late it is, but I want to believe.
For sure I can agree that THOSE types of guests might help out. Geese and Akuma were kind of inside baseball though, and what you're getting is some extra crossover with SF or KOF sub-communities.
They weren't guests in, say, the way that Negan or Noctis are. I don't believe that those kinds of wack gimmick adds move the needle for them when those characters actually drop. It's just kind of a big hype bubble when they're announced followed by nobody actually giving a damn when they release.
Supposed to be in 30 minutes, but we still have at least three sets of DBFZ left.

Honestly who knows. But bringing in the interest of an additional fandom/community can't hurt too much.
Not Negan though, I agree with that. :P
Yeah, no idea. Other companies have guest characters and still have pro tours, and have to eat some licensing costs in general, but then you're talking publishers like WB and Namco which probably don't have the same financial situation as Capcom.
Street Fighter has a pretty large cast of iconic characters, so they don't really need cross-over characters, but I guess they do seem to be the new hip thing these days.
This is right, and I don't think crossovers or anything will move the sales needle for SFV. The ship has sailed. The goal now should be to keep the base sustainable until the next game.
Likely. WB and Namco are probably more willing to do guest characters for their fighters.
Yep. I wouldn't mind a guest or two for SFV. I just can live without their presence.
I think G is going to be more on the eccentric but benevolent side. #themessagetothepeople doesn't really sound that evil.
Can't wait for the "boycott liberal Capcuck" to start again.
Because boycotting it the first time totally worked.
It absolutely sounds like something Gill would say.
But wouldn't it be weird if Gill was G and controlling Q this entire time? Is the goal of the Illuminati to...reunite PANGEA? How does that fit with Gill doing genetic experiments and shit
My point was that one can have evil means to a noble end.
Gill's ideal world is a new order in which the strongest thrive and exist as one. Perhaps it connects to the Pangaea thing.
We need more African characters, how many do we have? Elena and Menat? Those are the only 2, which is a shame considering that so many countries are unrepresented in terms of playable characters there. Nigeria, Algeria, Ethiopia, South Africa, etc.
DBFZ is finally fucking over. Now...
Edit:
Edit:
That's more than Australia.
Well, I wouldn't mind getting a Pakistani or Bangladeshi rep, we could also get some more Indians and maybe someone from Macau, Mongolia or Taiwan.
This is the real Darkstalkers sequel.
The infinite wait for what will come to be disappointment anyway.
More horrifying than any horror game.
Holy shit! G and Sagat tomorrow! This was definitely surprising! And they look both awesome!
