I was watching the Punk V Bonchan match from SCR today and it got me wondering how much have I improved from 2016, so I dug thru the archives on my channel and found my first match against my buddy BlueEyedDemon and his Cammy and my most recent match against him. THEN 4/10/16
NOW 9/23/18
Did you spot the Zenny symbol in the first video! lmao!
And how about that Roster size? So many snowflakes complaining about the roster size at launch! There is a benefit to a smaller roster size in the beginning, it'll take less time to find the character that works best for you.
And look at all those wonderful stages!
When I first got SFV I went straight to my main Chun Li, but I've always been curious about Nelly Olsen oops, Karin Kanzuki, so I started focusing on her and I'll admit her CA finish is such a guilty pleasure. So I stuck with her and have totally abandoned my main since SFII. I've enjoyed sparring with her against my friends in Battle Lounge but when I take her out on the town (ranked) I've been viciously accosted and last night I got so frustrated I switched back to Chun Li only to discover the rust had already set in! And honestly I find Nelly Karin so much more enjoyable to use...
So the Silicon Era report months ago was legit, this reveal is the one I've been hoping for and for me personally this has brought the hype more than any other reveal thus far. I'm diggin Karin's updated look, the outfit retains her original design but at the same time makes her appear older...not saying more mature😋
And the new Japan stage is gorgeous! There's a lot of characters in this stage and it pays a little homage to Kens SFA2 stage and also incorporates aspects of Ryu's stage.
I've watched the trailer twice and there are a lot of characters in this stage, I see Karin's ever dutiful butler is back and I thought I saw Dan Hibiki hanging from tree on the left side of the stage. I will definitely be watching this trailer again!
With Karin's reveal the "blue zone/alpha zone" is complete, so we have 2 open in the"green zone/ SFII zone" and 2 in the "purple zone/ new character zone" I'm guessing the next reveal will be a green zone character...wil it be a SFII character or a SFIII like Alex or Sean?

Along with Karin's reveal Capcom Unity also announced the Capcom Fighters Network Announcement:
