We have our final 16 plus 5 more for early DLC. I tend to have an abusive relationship with Capcom. So with everything after Super Street Fighter IV I take it with a grain of salt. Street Fighter V is looking good and it seems like they are trying to make a change with things... at least initially.

Blanka and Akuma unfortunately didn't make it for me. But getting Charlie and Karin back is great. Add newcomer Laura and my old flame Juri, and I guess I'll survive this time around. Hopefully this won't be a bust.

What does everyone think of the new characters? How do they compare to the new characters from SF4? Better or worse? I think the new guys and gals this time around are collectively cooler overall. Individually I don't think any of them are going to be as popular as Juri. Still F.A.N.G is just awesomely funny to me and Rishid is interesting. I think the breakout character is either going to be Laura or Necalli this time around.

Ohh and it seems that the reason Akuma isn't around for Street Fighter V is because he has to repay a debt for a Mishima. That or he got pissed he wasn't in the inital DLC and went for a better deal in his contract. True story:
