Also, put my not-emo-anymore boy Remy in SFV. Doubt that'll happen though since he's not particularly popular.
They really gotta put Urien back into Street Fighter. I don't know about Japan, but back when Third Strike was being played in the Arcades in the states, he was easily more popular than Ibuki and Elena. People enjoy watching juggle characters, and people got really hype during his Aegis combos. Essentially, Elena and Ibuki probably got in because they wanted to put more girls into the game.
Ibuki and Elena do have rather unique movesets, though, so it's not too bad of a loss. Gouken's really the only one that kind of has a few moves from Urien's moveset, like the Up Fireball, and the ability to combo the Up Fireball into an Ultra.
I never played Third Strike, but watching videos of Urien, he seemed very weird. I never got around to know how exactly the screen-like thing works, it just seemed weird how it hit people as well. So for viewers, I don't know whether he's that good. And part of his moveset was already copied by Seth, right?
Seth shares some of his normals, probably as a fun throwback, but the movesets are extraordinarily different. Urien's specials are a bit more like Balrog; the shoulder tackle is a charge like rush punch and the headbutt is headbutt. What made Urien awesome was the aegis, which you could then use for sick setups and juggle loops.
I'm excited to see any new/old cast in the next game. It's a fresh start to pick a cool new character off the bat, and I'm sure those they bring back and those that are brand new will be great.

Understanding the shortcut for this motion really made it easier for me, though I am on stick. If you have your down-back charge, just release and quickly do a "360" style motion (really 180) from down-forward all the way back and end on up (or up-back).
In numpad notation: charge 1... 32147 KKK
I'm not sure if there's a trick to doing it on keyboard per se, but when you realize you can "roll" the motion it shouldn't be too bad to practice.

I had to leave the house when top 8 started, around the time I witnessed the slopfest of Snake Eyez vs Pepeday. Are there VODs up?
Spooky's Twitch channel always has past broadcasts available so you could check there first. Not sure if/when they'll ever be uploaded on a match-by-match basis though.
Patch is coming on December 15th for arcades, will most likely be at the same time for consoles and PC. And they're actually going to release new costumes before they fix the netcode, amazing...
Nothing quite like not playing for a while and coming back destroying fools in a FG. WoW Draenor is eating at my soul but I still managed to 10-2 the #1 Juri on PC tonight in a pretty bad matchup for my character.

Did you upload the replays? I'd like to see how you played the Juri vs Makoto matchup.

Off the Ground combos, guard crush, powered state for characters, launchers, ...
The graphics are a lot improved too. How is it SF4 ? lol
To a beginning spectator, it does look a lot like SF4. I like the way SF4 has been the chess of fighting games for a number of years now, and I hope this 'update' will continue to be just that, not too much of a completely new game (just like with dota and SC, balancing changes mostly). 'Just keeping things fresh' is a good way to keep people satisfied, but in the grand scheme of things, I prefer games to iterate towards final (perfected) versions of themselves. E-sports!
