Update 2 – Neoxon has discovered even more information regarding the nature of the data found earlier today. Thanks to some deeper digging, they were able to determine that it’s even more likely now that some of these uncovered characters will be playable at some point. The evidence comes in the form of data relating to character meshes.
Neoxon describes a mesh as “how many ‘triangles’ are interconnected to form the [game’s] 3D models.” By looking at the number of triangles these characters have and comparing them to an existing, playable character, well, you see where we’re going.
Here are some numbers (in triangles):

  • Ryu (base) = 68320
  • Juri = 76955
  • Ibuki = 79831
  • Dhalsim = 77792
  • US Balrog / JP Bison (Boxer) = 62817
  • Urien = 82455
  • Alex = 66069
As you can see, many of these triangle counts exceed Ryu’s, while others remain roughly the same as his. This works to dispel the notion that the characters listed above are simply background assets, but, again, nothing is certain at this time.
Update – Neoxon contacted Shoryuken a short while ago to let us know that the word “Fan” comes from Chinese and means “all,” “every,” and “worldly,” words which could be pointing to the name “Zen” that we’ve seen floating around in various locations.
Neoxon also noted that “the [character] listings are for the initial poses of the Character Selection Screen. Every single character listed will most likely be playable.” This is certainly exciting information, but, again, nothing is certain until we hear official word from Capcom.
You can find our original article below.
It just wouldn’t be a PC beta without datamining, and we’ve had no shortage of uncovered Street Fighter V information because of this sort of creative file browsing. So far, we’ve seen the potential count for characters and stages at launch, heard some previously hidden tracks, and now it seems dataminers could have uncovered information surrounding who we can soon expect to make it on to the game’s roster.
According to a post on NeoGAF, we could be seeing Urien, Alex, Ibuki, Juri, Dhalsim, Guile, Balrog, Nadeshiko and the previously unknown characters referred to simply as “FAN” and “TUT” in the future. We’ve included some images of the code in question in a gallery below so you can take a look for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
 
So that would make Ryu, Chun-Li, Ken, Zangief, M. Bison, Balrog, Vega, Guile, and Dhalsim.

Minus Sagat, Blanka (strange, being Ono's favorite), and E. Honda.

That's the entire SF2 cast.

Anyway, cool if its true. Juri was pretty much the only character I genuinely liked in SF4. And I only liked Abel because he was stand-in Alex, and Alex is my favorite SF character. So I actually would like to see Juri make it in.
 
Ibuki better be playable!!!

And I'd like to see Alex, too.
 
Just gonna reiterate that Zangief was on the leaked list. Dhalsim and Alex are the only two left and I think Dhalsim will be the one that takes the final spot for returning characters

and with today's show Dhalsim rounds out the returning cast for the launch roster.

Here's his new look

I want Sagat & Blanka for nostalgia's sake.
 
If the "leak" is correct, the first six DLC characters are Guile, Balrog, Ibuki, Alex, Urien and Juri.

I'm kinda shocked that Akuma and Sakura's names were nowhere to be found on that list. Akuma's pretty much been a SF staple since his SSF2T debut. And has been in just about all the Capcom vs games.(MVC1 and TVC being the exceptions) And Sakura's the only Alpha character that actually appeared in the EX series.

I cant beleive that the entire roster leaked months ago. Like dang, wonder who that employee was that let it all out and if they got canned...lol

Not shocked by Sakura and Akuma though bc they said they wanted ot reduce the number of shotoken characters. Ken and Ryu are the tentpoles of the series and they wanted to focus on bringing in characters with more varied fightstyles. Im sure Akuma and Sakura will be added eventually so Im not too upset with their early exclusion

Character on the farthest left is Alex. His hair matches his render's hair when he appeared in the background of that NY City Street stage, plus the background image behind his silhouette matches that stage, which is where Alex appears. The silhouette is also wearing a big-ass head band.

hopefully that leaked list is correct. I'd be fine with it.

it looks like the guy on the 2nd from the left is in a boxer stance, so that could be Balrog.

so, from left to right?

Alex
Balrog
Guile
Juri
Ibuki
Urien
 
I feel like SF3 characters need to appear more and I feel like at least one of them should be available right from the start and not post launch.
 
Agreed especially with how Nash is tied to the Illuminati (from SFIII), which was hinted a lot during his reveal and "confirmed" if the Street Fighter Nash comic tie-in is canon. (And since Capcom has given Udon a lot of control over the story...)

Also, without a SF3 character on the default roster, this starting roster's returning vets are just SF2 and Alpha...again.
 
Balrog? Good guess. I thought it was Dudley

could be Dudley. but the leaked list said Balrog.

however, that figure does look like he's in a boxer's stance, so it could be either.

also, I think the figure 2nd from the right is Ibuki, because it looks like one of her win/intro poses where she stretches her arms over her head.

Thing is SF2 is pretty much the most iconic roster and feature the characters that casuals are familiar with. Capcom wants the game to sell and unfortunately some people are averse to change. We're gonna have to get used to the fact that there is a core roster of characters that are going to be in every SF moving forward(I doubt they'll ever take as big a risk as they did with SF3 again).

But hey at least the Alpha characters in the starting roster here are ones that weren't in SF4.
 
Yeah theres that. One of the reasons why SF3 never fully took off was bc they alienated the fanbase by moving away from the iconic SF2 characters. It was popular within a core audience but it remained pretty niche and didnt have the same mass appeal as the other games did

People wanting SF3 represented but at least those characters showed up in SFIV. Im still waiting on EX to get some love

Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Any character that's exclusive to the EX series is owned by Akira. Not Capcom.
 
That doesn't mean they can't appear. Licensing agreements do exist and Capcom has a long history of working with companies to make those happen
 
And what is Arika doing these days? Why can't Capcom just buy off those EX characters, especially Skullomania, Kairi, Pullum and Duran and C. Jack? Other than the fact Capcom is staving off bankruptcy themselves...

probably figure the series isnt popular enough for people to care about.
 
Grain of salt

Read on GameF.A.Q.s message board that rumor says Juri will have stances, like Gen.

Eh...?

SF3 was a big risk indeed, I was quite meh with it when I first played that game and there were only 2 characters that I was familiar with and it made me not want to play it. However, 1 or 2 from SF3 as starter playable characters or at least 4 to even it out wouldn't hurt.
