Yes you read that right after an explosive fighting game tournament between Tokido and the then undefeated Street Fighter V player, Infiltration -- Tokido's performance was explosive, impressive, and technically enlightening -- Capcom's representation changed our cynical hearts by showing off an impressive trailer, of Balrog.
Balrog, looks fucking sick, and I am to hear his tagging along with ninja girl Ibuki with his classic Vegas stage, revamped and modernized, SFV style. Additionally we had a teaser reveal of the two remaining characters, Juri and the surprisingly clothed Urien. Good fucking move Capcom, you guys gave more and it was an welcoming surprise.
So this is what we are getting by the end of June -- ironically the Capcom representative said this Friday, but Friday is July 1st, so I would like to believe is an error in communication, anyway -- Ibuki, extra costumes, cinematic story mode, day to night versions of current stages, revamped online net code and fixes, balrog and his classical stage. I am hyped! Thank you Capcom, you did good and doing good for the community. It is about fucking time!!
As for the remaining characters that were teased in Balrog's reveal trailer...Juri looks like Juri and it his hard to say how she plays because everything went so quickly. I am hoping they make her fighting style more Taekwondo based than her Street Fighter IV counterpart and I am happy she was chosen instead of Rufus. Juri and C.Viper were the two best new characters from Street Fighter IV and I am just happy they went one of them.
As of Urien...the trailer did not show much but there is one thing I have noticed and that this iteration of Urien is clothed -- he sports playboy's business casual attire -- a suit with couple button down dress shirt -- and I will not be surprised if his V-trigger drastically changed his appearance by surge of energy bursting off his clothes....lol...you read here first folks!! I cannot wait to get my hands on balrog, he looks like a beast..
Capcom I have one request for season 2 and that is please bring in Fei Long into the fold. We cannot have a fighting game without a Bruce Lee clone. I am dieing to see what you guys going to do with him in terms of design and moves. I know Akuma will eventually find his way in the realm of SFV once destroyed some characters in Tekken 7; he is guaranteed and we will probably get an evil ryu version down the line. BUT...please bring back the master of the incepting fist, clone, Fei Long...
