Yeah...post-launch, at 'some point'.  It also doesn't address everything else I said.  So, yeah, 16 characters at launch doesn't inspire a huge amount of hype in me, when a game 14 years earlier managed to have 21, just from the SF franchise.

I get what your saying but I don't think a lack of characters should decide how hype one should be.  Sometimes less is better, giving Capcom more time to tune-up each character so they'll be less broken etc..

You have to admit tho it's better than the new Killer Instinct lol

Haven't played the new KI, was never really into it honestly.  And I'm fine with others getting hyped about SFV, that's great, for them, I just can't get behind it for the reasons I've already outlined.  And not to be mean, but I just don't buy the excuse that it gives Capcom more time to tune-up each character.  They have finite skill sets, that've been outlined for...I dunno, 2 decades at this point?  It's not like every iteration rewrites the book on Ken, Ryu, Chun Li, Blanka, M. Bison, Balrog, Vega etc..., you know?  New skills for each character aren't 'numerous' with each iteration.  So, I just don't believe that line of thought.
