Charlie Nash Comes to Street Fighter V

The pre-release info often just refers to him as "Nash." Think they're just consolidating one of their US/Japan character name splits here?

Guess I shouldn't have created that thread.

Not a fan of giving more characters teleports in SF. MK is already rotten with those.

The shading and higher detail on the characters look great, though I really wish they had gone with a completely new art-style again with V :S Especially with all the super-hyper-arcade-delux-editions they have been releasing since the first rendition of IV. It just feels like a gen-jump re-release.

I know V will feature tweaks, new balance and perhaps new systems on ultra/supers ect, but as a casual/normal consumer of fighting games, I'd like a bigger jump in style, especially when going to a new generation.

Shaders look pretty great, although it does give me an odd Clay Fighters vibe.

I wonder if this means we'll be getting more Alpha characters that weren't seen in SF4. It could be interesting, and I hope they keep SF5's roster from mostly overlapping with SF4's.

I've got no idea about the pro scene, but I can't imagine a character with teleports being received well.

Charlie almost looks like the slick Guile from SF2, Chun Li looks great as well. They need to change Ryu's hair and face IMO.

I'm so happy to see that they fixed Ryu's low fwd animation. It looked goofy as heck in the first build, but now it's looking like it used to.

Looks like Decacpre + Guile. Well at least this means Guile will probably still in. Also Bipson.

Also the game still looks pretty slow and stiff, hopefully it becomes a bit more fluid as time goes on, I don't want another SF4-feeling game. I'd rather be with something that feels closer to 3S or CvS2 (with totally new systems) than something closer to 4.

Great news Guile, we found Nash! We finally found em. Bad news, he doesn't look so good anymore, he's got a few stitches.

With that said, he looks great, and that music was awesome. Can't wait for this.

Looking good, or at least interesting.

But I can't stop getting horrible flashbacks to fighting God Rugal in Capcom vs SNK 2. GENOCIDE CUTTER!

The Charlie/Nash split got resolved a few years back. He's been "Charlie Nash" since the UDON comic, and I wanna say you see his name written as "Charlie Nash" in SF 4.

@dan_citi: I hope it's fluid but not much faster than SF4, that was one of the very few good 2D fighters to not be super fast.

More importantly... Get hype for Dictator!

I saw PlayStation's upload of this video on YouTube where they referred to him as "Nash" as well, så maybe that's a thing now?

Besides, it's ridiculous that he's a Frankenstein now, since we all know what really happened. We all saw the movie: Blanka is Charlie :V

Still don't understand why everyone has big gorilla hands, even 14 year old girls.

Also Charlie always reminds me of Egon from the Ghost Busters cartoon.

Charlie is clearly twice as good as Guile since he can do all his moves twice. That's canon, right?

I like the idea of a Frankstein's monster-esque Charlie Nash, but I think the character design could have been somewhat better.

Looking great. I already sold my Xbone because I know SFV will never be coming to that console.

They said that Street Fighter V was PS4+PC only, but that doesn't mean that Super Street Fighter V won't come to the Xbone along with the rest of the addons that are sure to come.

@jeryhn88: This looks nothing like IV outside of having the ink effect, I don't really know what people sare seeing that I am not. What disappoints me is that this looks slower than IV, though that could be because it's still in early dev stages. (I hope so...)

That was pretty bad ass! Glad hes not a Guile clone. Move set looks pretty fun! Visuals are looksing really nice as well! Esp the lighting in the darker stage setting. Wonder what it looks like in a day light stage?

Why are people surprised to see Bison? I dont see a time frame for when this takes place. Is this supposed to be after SF2 when he died?

Not a big fan of Charlie, but I'm glad he looks pretty different from Guile. More hyped that Bison is coming!

It's stylized to highlight the important parts. You're not gonna have fighters feel strong with tiny, normal human hands. That's why Makoto has monstrous feet.

Was there ever a chance of Guile not being in it? Outside of 3, is there a game where the original 8 didn't make an appearance?
