Last SFV Steam QA servers were made 4 days ago, no activity today. No new avatar image at SF official social media accounts, no hints. The Tekken 7 finals are almost done, the SFV top 8 should start in half and hour or so and as of now no signs of upcoming announcement or release for today.

Yeah, that's gotta be it. If there's something for SFV it'll be up front.
Not sure if Joey Cuellar meant that would be some announcement after SFV finals. If it's the case I assume it would be SFV related. If it's the case, considering they didn't hype anything I'd assume it may just be the specific SFVTA release because until now we only know it's coming this "March" to arcades.

I didn't want to force it but I'm left with no choice.
Give me an excuse to post a picture of Ken.
Guilty Gear didn't have one. Tekken's announcement was just release dates for characters we knew were coming (and Julia gameplay). The biggest announcement was BBTag, adding 3 characters and teasing another franchise being added.
That's...depressing actually in terms of overall announcements
1. Amy to SoulCalibur VI
2. BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle Spring update (3 characters + 5th fate + 6th fate teased)
3. SNK Heroines to Steam
4. Tekken 7 Negan and Julia gameplay
It was fine, just nothing huge.
Of course, wasn't expecting anything from SFV.
Man, you don't get it, this is a fighting game thread, Smash Bros. is bad for some reason.
Melee still managing to be alive despite a meta that hasn't evolved in half a decade, forcing usage of proprietary consoles and CRTs, and have zero official support since 1999 is proof that the anti-SFV bandwagon doesn't miss SFIV as much as it just hates SFV.
It's hard to enjoy a game when I don't know what characters I'll be trying for two days before quitting them and going back to my main.
and now they want to start banning characters because someone that wasn't fox/falco/marth keeps winning
If Melee was still the most current version of Smash ppl would expect announcements. Just like if SF6 was out nobody would care or be expecting dlc for 5.
Hm, would've gone with "probably not" with my response if I hadn't forgotten about Ono not bothering with Evo Japan this year. Oh well, not a big deal to me. Would've rather seen Cassandra before Amy for SCVI, but that did at least point to the remaining two DLC characters being correct (I don't know what Arc are doing with BBTAG after its datamining didn't amount to anything yet, but I don't really care all that much anymore).
People can shit on Capcom all they want, but dammit if Ono isn't a treasure.
Hope he gets well soon and rests up.

So the arcade launches AFTER the 17th next month? I find it hard to believe they'd launch without new content to entice people to play.
Yeah launch is the weekend after Final Round.
And I think your called shot may turn out to be right. 3-4 chacters now, 1-2 at EVO. Would totally explain the lack of a season pass.
As I know, the arcade release date is "March" so yes it can be released after the 17th.
Launch event at something starting with a T in Japan the week after Final Round IIRC.
If we get those 4 characters who have been rumoured forever, surviving this drought would've been worth it.
It'd make it kind of silly to do a pass if most of the content's out immediately up front and not trickled. Also gives them sales data to test the counterfactual.
I think the biggest reason there's not a pass, though, is that they don't want to put out a new digital SKU for A.E. Deluxe when Super is almost certainly hitting next January.
I found it: people Toushinsai, March 23 and 24 in Tokyo.
Not sure if it's going to be too much for a single update, but it's possible that we may get there in the same update the next character, the Type Arcade port with potential new features and content (until now we know you'll be able to link your PSN/Steam account to play with your costumes, colors, etc in the arcade version and that SFVTA will have Battle Points) and the Capcom Pro Tour DLC bundle.
It's kind of crazy we're so used to companies selling passes with unknown content spread out over a year that a bundle of DLC characters with a close release is an unlikely proposition. It really shouldn't be weird.
