Only for Marvel.
Sakura is on the list for Season 3.
Like why even give this guy credibility? It's all piggybacking off a Valle post. Even if the Valle is right about the actually S3 character the rest of it is just some made up shit by Riku

If anything, it'd just be like the recent update that went live a few days ago (The Ed update), only they just slap Super on there.
Then you won't care for couple of more years hopefully.
this is fake news

If this is true, "Super" is probably the nametag for year 3 then, and the "free update" will consist of said Arcade Mode (which was promised long ago) and other modes , but people thinking that the six characters are free are going to be disappointed. They will be the Season Pass 3.
There will always only be an original version with the base characters and whatever modes they added since then via patches and are planning to add. Season Pass Characters may go on sale sometime, but since the game is basically an online game it won't matter if you buy the base SF5 now or wait until they rename it "Super SF5", it will be exactly the same content which is free at that time.

Nothing to do with it. I couldn't care less about the name. OP had "free update only for digital owners". He edited it.
Sounds like it's nothing more than an update? Disappointing.
I know they said they wouldn't, but I'm hoping for them to do a disc at some point that includes all the DLC characters, balance changes, etc. I have the base game, and it plays great, but not really interested in the digital stuff.

Chances are it'll include the Season 1 and Season 2 pass alongside it so it'll most likely be cheaper. Base game only includes the 16 characters that were there at launch.
The Deluxe Edition that includes the base game + Season 1 pass + Season 2 pass was actually on sale on US PSN a week or two ago for 40$.
I'd imagine that a new retail release, if any, would also include the S1 & S2 characters and maybe a S3 Character Pass.

Ok, that would pull me back again.
Was watching some 2.5 version Claw and Gief videos yesterday and I was getting warmed up to return.
Arcade mode would finally make this game complete.

Unless I missed some clarification, wouldn't a Super version as a free update clash with the season-pass structure of vanilla SFV?
If it just means an arcade and balance update, it would be good, but as meaningless as naming convenctions often are, "Super" for Street Fighter games have tended to mean a full new set of characters included, in addition.

On the one hand, the SF5 digital ver. would be a big download.
On the other a retail Super SF5 copy would require less downloading :X
The new characters would probably be part of Season 3.

If you only have the base game, you probably don't get any characters for free. You still gotta buy a season pass or earn them with FM.
The structure remains the same, they're just calling it "Super" because with so much new stuff it's probably best to do a rebranding scenario.

I like Q, but he doesn't really offer the some sort of appeal for me personally. Urien is packing a lot more, so to speak.

Wouldn't it be weird if they give out 6 new characters out for free with this update...while at the same time charging 6 bucks for each new character in a season?
This might be bullshit.
This might be bullshit.
Not really, Super just adds new modes, mechanics etc.
You would still need to buy characters, stages etc. with FM or real money.
I said that they wouldn't split the player base, though I feared (& still fear) that naming the update Super would cause backlash.
Oh god yes, he animated like water in a river in SFIII.
If true, it's probably simply the case that you get a Season 3 pass for those characters if you buy the Super version of the game.
Is Capcom really dumb enough to create another shitshow of a story mode despite the fact that the first one did not move the sales needle at all? It would be such an unbelievable waste of resources. AGAIN. If anything it would create a counterproductive effect on me.
Anyway, rebranding SFV into a new package is definitely the way to go to add life to this fucking thing and I've been saying this for a long-ass time.
Personally I don't put any credence into this rumor though.
The title/balance updates would be free for everyone.
New characters would not be free to those that already own the game, obviously. They would come with the game for the people that purchase "Super SFV" for the first time.

I bought the ultimate edition recently in sale. Didn't play though, is E Honda included? If not he isn't coming to SF5?

I will yell if Q is in there. I miss my boy Q so much.
Didn't they scream this would never happen?
It's merely a marketing thing, if existing customers get it for free, no different than releasing a season 3 pass labelled "Super".

And Capcom is just going to give out all those characters for free to existing owners? I doubt Capcom would ever be so charitable but let's hope I'm wrong!
Ah, I get what you guys are saying. They'll release all the characters but still charge for each individual one, unless you buy the updated SKU.
I just didn't think they would do that and only release it as a big update but that would have no impact on sales really, so I guess they have to put out a new SKU.
This one knows what's up.
No they didn't, jesus

Q's V-Trigger will be Total Destruction and cause his trenchcoat to explode, revealing his chiseled, thong-clad body.
E. Honda isn't in this, & I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he never makes it in (as I've said before, Honda's more iconic than popular). Though seeing as he's a World Warrior, he definitely has a chance at returning.

Oro is in the cinematics since season 1, so I expected it.
I just hope they have a better story this time.
Yea, this shit is fake. If anything it's Valle hinting/leaking S3 characters and some random dude on the internet making it bigger than what it is.
No? Why would existing owners be expecting them? It'd be just like buying the game + a S1/S2 character pass right now.
