That new mechanic is interesting. Fang has so much troll potential.

FANG looks pretty awesome, the way he moves is really cool. Makoto was my main in SFIV, so it looks like I might have to pick up a new character if I'm going to get into SFV.

I agree, FANG has very stylish movements, but man, the initial animation for his super is a joke, flapping his arms like some bird lol. The cinematic animation wasn't shown though. Out of the new characters, I think he's the most interesting.

A Street Fighter Character is meant to be a caricature of the place they are from, that's why they all have very generic and obvious looks that allow you to associate them with a region.

Fang is clearly a parody of his place of origin, China, he even has a look reminiscent of a hopping vampire.

You know you're talking about the same game franchise that has T. Hawk and El Fuerte, right? Compared to either of them, FANG should be given the Diversity Seal of Inclusive Approval!

Personally, I hope he's secretly an aged Lee, because it'd be really awesome to have another Street Fighter I alumni come back.....

Dhalsim, Blanka and Juri say hi, as they're caricatures. Just like Punch-Out!! games, in which They're stereotypes but can be taken as racist for the worst offenders.
