|  "About the SVC roster, oh and opinions so far?"
, posted Fri 6 Jun 22:40
First of all I noticed with the newly announced characters, the roster comes to 31 characters. Yes it's uneven. Due to the middle bosses most likely. Goenitz, Dan, and Demitri. My guess is, Shingo's probably the other boss to complement Dan as a "comical boss". I mean we was "sorta" a secret middle boss in KoF98. While Goenitz and Demitri are the "serious" midle bosses. So it looks like there's at least ONE SNK character Playmore hasn't revealed yet (or at least no one has found yet)
So with the new characters and gameplay details so far, what do tyou think?
Here's my thoughts on the recently announced characters:
Dan: Awesome, I was praying he would be in the game (now where's Shingo?). From what it sounds like (Otoko Michi and a NEW super based of Ryo) I can't wait to see him lay down some Saikyo goodness. He is the MAN, for he is DAN!
Demitri: Interesting choice, from what I hear he's nicely redrawn, has the Midnight Bliss (or Pleasure). Nice. On one hand it looks like we won't see a redrawn Morrigan, on the OTHER hand, we have someone from Darkstalkers BESIDES Morrigan. Yay!
Orochi Iori: Not too excited, pretty much expected.
Goenitz: AWESOME change from Geese and Rugal.
Dark/Evil/Shin whatever Mr Karate: Ridculous I know, but kinda curious to see what he looks and plays like.
Shin Akuma: Bleh. However Shin Akuma was awesome, moves and lookwise, in CVS2. But PLEASE Playmore, make him PLAYABLE as in NO crappy defense for Human play but sublimely perfected defense and AI for the CPU. Ugh! I was so excited I unlocked Shin Akuma in CVS2, but really pissed off when he turned out to be full of crap.
Evil Ken: Understandable to everyone's disappointment. But give Playmore some credit. We've NEVER seen this before, it's an original concept. I know plenty of fans who have wanted to see this done officially (asides from the awesome fan-created masterpiece for MUGEN).
Gameplay sounds pretty cool. I like the fact that you don't have to have low life AND a charged bar to do SDMs (like Extra/S Groove) But it's more KoF99-ish instead. I liked rolls, but I won't miss them here.

Honestly, every bit of news just gets me more excited about this game. I had no expectations going in, but I'm really excited about it... to the point where I think I finally might bite the bullet and get my MVS board, and buy it when it comes out. The arcades here suck, and my friends and I would probably throw enough money into it in arcades this summer cover the cost if any here did get it. Hell, the home version of Soul Calibur II will be out before any arcades here have it. Sigh.
Of course, crazy decisions like that kind of hinge on if I get a new job before then, and if the game turns out to be good, anyway. Eep. Otherwise there'll be no huge expenses for me.

I have never been a fan of super powered characters so I would have like original final bosses; all though I got to admit I am intrigued about Evil Ken. I buy into the one more character on the SNK side, and I think it will be Shingo or perhaps Joe Higashi if they want to do any relation with that. I’m pleased with Demitri and Goenitz. I am curious about something and if anyone knows please let me know. What is the music like for the game and also the voices of the characters? Are they the same or have they changed?
I asked that at Neo-geo.com, never got a definitive answer. I don't mind the other characters (maybe Playmore can find a decent American sounding voice actor for Guile). Osamu Hatoi (sp?), the voice of Dan, better be be in this, it wouldn't sound right otherwise. I've heard the music tracks are quite good, though
I completely forgot about Joe, makes perfect sense with all the Dan+Joe pairs in CFC and CVS1+2. Joe just didn't strike me as boss material. But then, neither did Dan.

I actually want a Psycho Powered Ken instead of a Satsui no Hadou Ken. I don't know that's just me. I mean if he was brainwashed into showing his full potential, it wouldn't be that much different, but just the fact that the Satsui no Hadou route has been taken OVER AND OVER again.
After seeing screenshots of Psycho Ken, I definitely agree, but it looks like it just isn't going to happen. The Professor's beta report already has a description of the new Ken and it doesn't mention a cape, which is something that would be pretty hard to miss, so it's probably just "Satsui no Ken".

Seriously though, what were you expecting? Expecting SvC not to have a bunch of Shotokan characters from Street Fighter is like going to a James Bond movie and thinking, "Damn, I hope James Bond isn't in this one" or picking up an issue of the X-Men and thinking, "Man, why did they put so many X-Men in this?!

There is a difference in having shoto's and too much of them!!!
For exemple I don't see the interest of have ken and evil ken in the same time!!
all characters in double like this should have only one version like Evil ken and no ken, wild Iori and no Iori Mr Karate and no Evil Mr Karate....and so on.....
So far 9 shoto's, if you add sagat who is also a fireball/upper character we have 10 with the Iori thing that made 12 so if we cut this by 2 that made only 6 shoto's (so your fan are happy!) and 6 other characters for those who like normal cast.

I don't think that would be the correct parallel with the topic of SvC Chaos. It's more like... if you saw a James Bond movie and there were 10 guys similar to James Bond in the flick, or 10 cheap clones of Wolverine in an X-Men flick. That's how it feels to see the roster of SvC Chaos.
Fireball/uppercut characters were expected in this game, granted. Chaos is probably a little bit overkill, though. I would rather see E. Honda, Cammy, Lord Raptor (Zabel), Lei-Lei or someone different rather than Gouki or Demitri.

I need Moriya in this game, too.
But what I miss more is the new generation characters, specially Alex, K' (even if I don't like him, he needs to be in it), Makoto, Ibuki, Vanessa, Angel... Will new generation characters be always not included?

Why do people keep forgetting that Hugo is a New Generation character? Does everyone really hate him that much?
Seriously, the current roster may be rather predictable for the most part, but as a whole is solid. In other words; This is a good place to start. Give them time. Playmore is undoubtedly saving some things for SvC’s sequel(s). Just be patient.

Not to be a spoil-sport, but the original CvS had an uneven cast as well in the home ports (Akuma was the odd man out) so I wouldn't be surprised if Dan was the odd man this time around, maybe SNK considers him enough of a a blantant 'homage' to Ryo they're using him as a middle-ground character.
The more I think about the more I'm starting to like the roaster. But as far as new characters go:
Dan: YAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy I don't have to wait for SvC:C+Pro Alpha to play as Dan!
Demitri: He's Akuma, but he's a nice addition. I also find it interesting every transformation (aside from his own) will be brand spankin' new!
Orochi Iori: Meh (why not Leona?!?!)
Goenitz: Welcome back,old friend!!! If anything could get me to pray Rugal shows up in the future it was this.
Dark/Evil/Shin whatever Mr Karate: SEE!!! I was right! There is a Shin Mr.Karate as the boss! (dances around)
Shin Akuma: WHATEVER!!!!
Evil Ken: The more I think about this the more I accept it, it's more interesting then Evil Ryu since he's 'new' (not counting the MUGEN version)
speaking of MUGEN, seeing all these cool characters (the entire cast, not just the bosses) done in KoF sprites makes me sad none of them will appear on MUGEN in a non-MvC2 style. (I wanted to learn to use MUGEN just so I could convert every KoF character having them play like their original self, not a CvS2/MvC2 version that doesn't exist, but after figuring out it was going to take 15+ years I gave up before trying.)

I think the jury is actually still out on how many "shotos" there are in the game, or at least how many character spaces are taken up by them. From the descriptions that I've seen, Orochi Iori, Satsui no Ken, and possibly even Shin Mr. Karate and Shin Gouki are really just palette swaps with a couple of new animations, which doesn't take up a lot of space on the cart. In other words, it was a choice between putting Satsui no Ken in the game or just not putting another character in the game, not between Satsui no Ken and some other character that you would rather have in the game. That's also probably why we're seeing Orochi Iori and not Orochi Leona. Orochi Leona would take up more space because she wouldn't be made up out of recycled animations that are already on the cart. Then again, I could be wrong. We'll have to wait for pictures of them.
As for the number of characters, I don't really buy into the idea that every character with an uppercut is a character that is identical to Ryu and Ken, so I see your number as pretty ridiculous. I think of a "Shoto" as being a character with a fireball, a forward-moving uppercut, and a spinning kick, which is just Ryu, Ken, Gouki, and their palette swaps. If you're extending it out to Iori and Sagat, whose moves are not 70% identical like Ryu's, Ken's, and Gouki's are, then that's a pretty big tent to group characters under. Under that definition, Terry and Kyo are shotos, as well. I don't see Terry and Ryu as being identical characters, though.
EDIT: I forgot something. Can anyone see what this is saying? And for those with slow connections, here's the Bao picture.

People accuse everyone with an "uppercut" of being a shoto. I recall some people saying Shiki will be one, to, considering she has an "uppercut", but at least traditionally, hers can't hit people in the air, considering it strikes horizontally on the ground. It's for combo purposes only.
I thought you needed a fireball as well as an upercut too to be included in the "shoto" category?
But your right, just because one has an uppercut (or fireball) doesn't mean they play like a traditional shoto. Hahomaru, for example, has an uppercut and fireball but doesn't play anything near a shoto (You can try, but you won't get far...)

My 2 cents...
Dan: Not a suprising choice, but a welcome one. Capcom's homage/parody of SNK characters just fits in these games. What intrigues me is that he has Otoko Michi super, one of the cool ones from MvSF/C. Now if they add in the premium sign.
Demitri: Weird choice, since Morrigan is so much more popular than any other Darkstalker. But he's one of the few that can be carried over to a normal SF/KOF game so it's not to shocking. And seeing the midnight pleasure for alot of the cast will be intresting and fun...
Orochi Iori: Meh, would have rather had Leona but I expect this was done to save cart space (just recycle some default Iori sprites).
Goenitz: Awesome choice, though it's seems a bit weird for him to be a mid boss....
Mr. Karate - Still don't see him as the final boss, even though it looks that way...
Shin Akuma: Knew he'd be in the minute Akuma was announced.
Evil Ken: I remember when Ken was the one that went evil in the various manga and anime for SF2. Now he gets to go evil in an actual non-Mugen game. Intresting to see how Playmore will have him play, but at least it's not Evil Ryu (Though I have a feeling will see him, as it also saves on Cart space...)
Really wanna play this now, as the lineup looks better and the system looks intresting (A Mix of the 3 level Alpha gauge, and various KOF meter features).

For some people, the shoto definition pretty much means just an uppercut and a fireball (charge characters excluded, since the whole uppercut fireball game goes out the window in most situations if you have to charge). The forward moving attack doesn't really matter, and IMHO, it shouldn't. Not that I agree or disagree with the broad shoto definition, but I feel that the forward moving attack makes no difference in the actual gameplay in the long run, since it's mostly used for combo purposes, not strategetic ones, I believe. The shoto gameplay, while the definition varies from person to person, overall encompasses being able to have a strategy around using a fireball and a DP in some sort of way (though the typical fireball DP trap isn't as effective as it once was, there are some possible effective variations). I guess it might be better to say that any character who generally uses their fireballs often and also use their DP for effective anti-air often (again, charge characters typically excluded since having to charge changes the strategy) is shoto-esque, albeit to differing degrees. Note: A shoto does not ONLY rely on this strategy, of course! Especially today, when focusing only on your DP and your fireball will usually get you killed, and this is where shotos branch off and become different from each other, including their forward moving attacks. But the DP and the fireball are still a major part of a 'shoto's' gameplay and strategy.
Even taking a somewhat narrow definition of a shoto, from the looks of things, I personally feel they went overboard with the fireball DP characters. The amount of characters that have effective DPs with effective fireballs is kinda staggering, really. There don't seem to be too many wayward styles... there's only one grappler, for crying out loud (Earthquake isn't a grappler. He's something else. Something else that's cool, IMHO, but still something else).
Shiki, assuming she's like her original version, probably wouldn't be classified as a shoto because her DP isn't a good anti-air (does she have a fireball?). Dan can sorta be classified as a shoto, but it depends. Since, if Dan's shoto-moves were GOOD (IE, his DP were effective and his fireball had range), he'd play (or could play) very much like a shoto. But... they're not. It's kinda funny, really... he should be a shoto but his moves are gimped so much that you're forced to play him in another style. Or... something like that. Where was I, again?
Er, yea, anyways, it makes me sad that we won't have Rolento's crazy fighting style (though at least we have Vega's, I suppose) or an SNK grappler (especially since they differ so much from Capcom ones) or a fast rushdown character like Cammy or a Tekken-esque character like Karin or a finesse poker character like Charlotte (unless Shiki is a finesse poker. I don't know much about shiki). Even if Ryu, Ken, Iori, Mr. Karate, Ryo, Kyo, Akuma, Terry, Demitri, Sagat, and Genjuro have their significant differences, the differences between them is no where near as big as the difference between Ryu and Karin, or the difference between Iori and Charlotte, or the difference between Terry and Goro Daimon, or the difference between Kyo and Guy, or the difference between Mr. Karate and Rose, or the difference between Sagat and heck, E. Honda. Yes, all those 'shotos' are different from each other, but they aren't nearly as different from each other as they could have been to a whole slew of other characters, so seeing so many 'shotos' in one game, even if different from each other, makes me sad.
Ah well. The roster's still not that bad, overall (though Capcom side seriously needs some variety there) since they have gameplay styles like M. Bison, Balrog, Vega, Shiki, Chun-Li, Earthquake, and Hugo there, but more than half the cast seems to comprise of people who's main (most used, whatever) special moves are their fireball and their DP, which is just so blargariffic.
[EDIT]
Oh right, the roster. Lessee...
Dan: Eh, game wouldn't be the same without him, really. I'm rather apathetic in general since I already expected him.
Goenitz: A good solid choice for a boss, I think, though I have no clue how he plays so I dunno how much he'll add to the gameplay. Still, it's nice to see an unexpected boss instead of the usual Rugal Bison Akuma boss.
Demitri: Same thing for him. Otherwise, though, I feel he'd be worthless without his midnight bliss super, no matter how cool SNK could make him look. But he DOES have his midnight bliss super, so he'll be awesome for laughs and kicks and seeing characters like you've never seen them before. And this makes me very happy.
Satsui no Ken: Should have made him Psycho Ken. It's not just Satsui no Hadou Ken being a bit out of character (unless they can BS up a decent explanation), though that's a small part of it, but Psycho Ken is really the evil version of Ken that everyones' fallen in love with, I think. That and satsu no hadou is so overdone. Otherwise, other than that... bah, I'd rather have a real new character. But as stated previously, I don't think it matters since this was probably more a question of having Evil Ken or no one more than having Evil Ken or another character.
Orochi Iori: Seen and done before. Bleh bleh bleh. But again, same situation as Evil Ken most likely (either him or no one) so I'm not mad or anything so much as yawning.
Shin Akuma: Ditto.
Shin whatever Mr. Karate: Ditto. Add in a bonus "What the bleepgot!?" feeling, considering that Mr. Karate himself is already an alternate Takuma, so now we have an alternate of an alternate which is funky stuff, man.
Overall: This game still needs more female characters, darnit. And no, the 30+ female versions of characters from Demitri's Midnight Bliss don't count. ...unless they're playable, which would actually kick ass but won't happen in a million years XD Oh Miss X, where are you when we need you the most?

Nope. She's not really a "poker" either, she's combo oriented. Hanin to Narishi Shiki has the Darma Chakhra Padva, but it's only a semi-projectile, and the fact this Shiki isn't Hanin to Narishi Shiki, and having looked at her tiny preliminary move list, I have serious doubts she'll have this.
Edit: Yeah, as for the roster, I'm just fine with it. Wish it had more villains, but there are enough people I like that I'll be fine. ^_^

Miss X would be incredible in this game! Best boss ever! Such a shame, such wasted potential.
I like the lineup overall, though I agree the lack of females is very disappointing. I was hoping for an odd choice or two like Rose to pop up, but it seems I'm out of luck... four bosses, one of them should be a woman at least, geez.

I like the overall cast with the exception of having EVERY Shadowloo boss (one or two would have been fine) and I'd like one more Darkstalker character. This is probably the final cast, but I'll still hope a little longer.
Actually, it probably isn't the final cast. The current count is 31 characters and it's sort of strange that there would be an odd number of characters in a game divided up into two halves (SNK and Capcom). A lot of people think that the last SNK character is going to be Shingo or Joe so that Dan will have a comical SNK counterpart, but then again, they haven't really been pairing characters up with direct counterparts in this game, so it could be anyone.
Personally, I hope that they go all out and make it Miss X, since it seems like a lot of us want to see Miss X in this game, but it's probably going to be Orochi Ryo or Satsui no Kasumi or something.

Just wondering, but what's the basis for that belief? From what I've read (on this site), there's a large invincibility window on the guard cancel version of the "front ground step", and being invincible doesn't really do much for combos.
I think most people would like more variety in the cast, but don't go making assumptions yet. ESPECIALLY based on a beta that I assume you haven't even played.
Personally, I want to see a shot or two of Guile.

To answer a question that we were going over the other day, since this seems to be the main thread now...
The win icons reflect how you won, just like Street Fighter Alpha 3. "S" for Special Move (?), "Ex" for Exceed, and V is probably a normal victory.
Also, I'm glad to see that Geese is in the game. Hopefully the mid-bosses, and possibly even Satsui no Ken and Orochi Iori, will be good playable characters and not overpowered like Grant or unfinished like KOF2k Kula. I'm also glad to see that they're doing Hugo's story scenes, win poses, and win taunt screens the same way they did Shigen's, with a less stoic character speaking for him. It's the next best thing to having Poison as a playable character. I wonder if Bao takes over for Poison at any point, though. That might be amusing.
And is it me, or do Hugo and Mr. Karate seem to be the real fan favorites so far? No matter what camera these pictures are taken with (a lot of them vary in width, height, and style), almost all of them seem to have Hugo in them, with Mr. Karate coming in second. I wonder what's so great about them, besides what I'm sure are some hilarious moments with Poison.

I wouldn't put so much doubt about the Geese pics. Remember, that site has gone to every recent SNK location test and reported accurately so far. I don't really see any reason for the guy to lie now.
As for the difference in size, it may be that a friend took one of the pictures with his cell phone.
...If it is a fake, I'll lose faith in him.
Well, it could be like "While I'm out, if you see any new character take a photo please", I mean; no person could have 14 hours or so to be next to the machine...
If Geese is on it I'm not that hyped; while by one side I totally love Geese I was hoping for more characters that will require new sprites... Then again, the budget is not infinite; it seems that SNK can't do such wonders these days (a game with no re-used sprites and perfect in every way like Fatal Fury 3 was to me).
.... Damn Playmore, they should up-date the cast page soon to release any doubts, plus I want to see Nona's art... YURIZILA ROCKS!!!

I'm rather dissapointed with the game so far. It's one on one so you can't form teams, it's not a Tournament so I don't know why half of these people would bother fighting each other, except for fightaholics like Ryu and Kyo. Don't know why Guile or Chun-Li would fight anyone not envolved with Shadowloo for the most part if it's not a Tourney. Well, maybe it has a good story. I don't like SNH Ken, Orochi Iori's been done and I'm not excited about Shin Mr. Karate. That and the fact that the game seems to basically be KOF 96 vs. SFII with too few others is sad.
Here's what I like - Demitri's in with Midnight Bliss! The new Hugo Sprite is awsome! Goenitz returns! These are reasons enough for me to buy the game.
While I'm rather dissapointed with Shin Gouki being used again, I remember that in both CVS2 endings, and even stonger Shin Gouki is hinted at. If Shin Gouki is like
this it will own, but if he's the same as Shin Goukis in the past I'll be dissapointed.
I'll say it's possible. At the end of SVC for the Neo Geo Pocket, Vega(dictator) and Geese swear revenge upon you. Hence, they are Bosses in CVS1. Nothing in CVS contradicts SVC for the NGP. Terry says Joe got beat by Adon in SVC and in CVS Joe and Dan win the Tourney the same way Mr. Satan wins Tourneys in DBZ - all the real heroes are fighting Geese/Vega elsewhere. Joe's not taken very seriously in these crossover games.
Of course, this is Playmore and they have their own ways of doing things. Well, so far I don't see Rugal who dies in both CVS2 endings so maybe there's a bit of consistency, but this is a vs. Game and it's really the wrong place to look for that.

I'm just happy to hear that Dan is kicking everyone's ass in this game! DAN is basically an SNK character that was never in a big SNK game until now. He owns everyone!

Here's to hoping that Geese IS in.
Now where are those Demitri shots?
.....Hmmmmmnnnn the more the I see the pics, the more doubts I got; the repukken looks suspicious...
... Then again; Chupiler has a point when he says that the site didn't released fake info on the first screens; what could they gain by doing so now?? If the pic is fake they probably have been fooled too.
... Seeing that the bosses are Shin Gouki, "Evil" Ken, Shin Mr. Karate, "Orochi" Iori, Goenitz, Geese, Demitri and Dan I do wonder if there is any way to select them, they seem all to be "too hyped" to human use even if they have a few tweaks here and there...
I wonder what tweak means, I wonder if it's even a word...

Nothing to do with it, but, according to the page that Cain Highwind gave, what says
