It is kinda weird because even though I am stoked for SF5, I was kinda hoping the announcement would be dragons dogma 2, and in a way I feel a bit disappointed .

Oh well I wonder what lessons will be learned for sf5, my only guess is the game will probably not be near as link heavy to appeal to the larger crowd.

Maybe it won't be paced like molasses in 50% of matchups, but Capcom was still turning out characters with unplinkable 1-frame links in Ultra. I can't imagine them straight up starting to move Street Fighter away from links.

I am super excited for SF5 and am very happy that I will have a new SF and Guilty Gear to play for years to come. I enjoyed SF4's run and had a lot of fun playing it and will continue to have fun in it even after 5 comes out.

Fighting games are fun.

I am just happy that 1.) there is an announcement for a SF game on PS4 and 2.)I own a PS4.

also SRK already has a board for it.

Yay, GGXrd and now SF5!

Two thoughts:
- Capcom should call ASW and figure out if they can use that fancy 2/3D tech to make the SF4-esque models into awesome SF3-esque visuals.
- AT LEAST CHUN AND RYU ARE IN IT WHEW

I feel like it's gotta be pretty early in the cycle though, those do just look like HD SF4 assets (even the bg and the ink trails) but I'd be surprised if the final product looks THAT similar to the previous game. Unless they really have a micro-budget.

Was really hoping they would just straight up copy Xrd's 2d but actually 3d style.

Also, Its so goddamn dark.

I'm just gonna say it outright, because I'm guessing you might come from a game like dota or wow or something:

Online only players will always be treated like second class citizens in Fighting Games.

not "from" either of those games, because I have no idea what it even means to be "from" a video game and congratulations on stating the problem in bold text, because that is currently true but shouldn't be.

it's not even going to stay true for much longer, honestly. TTT2 had fabulous netcoding, they're getting closer and closer to figuring this poo poo out. I'm not saying the online experience is a substitute for good local competition but being a grandpa about people wanting half-decent online this time is dumb. Your ways are old, old person. This is the future, and the future demands functional goddamn netplay.

a lot of downloadable FGs have had great online too - Skullgirls, 3SOE, MvC2 (despite its myriad other bugs), and some others. We don't have to settle for lovely online anymore, there's no excuse for SF5 (or Xrd for that matter) not keeping with the times.

I played Guilty Gear X2 #Reload a couple of days ago with a friend who wanted to show it to me. Spent most of my time winning by picking the girl with an enormous anchor and using forward slash despite having no loving idea what I was doing. Then one time I jumped and got instantly killed from full life to none by what looked like a DP. Then I picked Baiken and continued to spam forward slash and still won like half the time. This went on for roughly an hour before I got bored and wandered back to Melty Blood. Didn't exactly endear me to the series, put it that way.

Thank for listening to my bad opinions. I'll probably still try Xrd at some point because said friend is a gg fan and will probably enlist me to play it with him as one of the only dipshits he can get to play anime fighters with him but I can't exactly say I'm looking forward to it.

also anyone in this thread got Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax yet? Netcode any good? Planning on getting it at some point but I don't really want to buy an import fighting game to play it with only a handful of other local anime players.

I can't wait to see more of SFV. Until I actually see more than 2 characters for 3 seconds and have something to judge the game on(like an example of the game's mechanics and speed), I'm just happy it also comes to PC.
SFxT tried to do a rollback netcode(I have no idea how that turned out in the end), so maybe we will see an updated version of that.

Ok, now I'm ready for Dragma2 reveal tomorrow.

If May didn't immediately sell you on the game your soul is dead.

I honestly just spent a round with May, knew the game was good, then discovered Venom and knew I was buying a PS3.

There is no excuse.

Except for the incompetency of the developers to learn from these games.

dunno it just didn't feel good to me, I know that's partially my fault because I later found out May is the slow hard-hitting fucker of the lot and I'm generally not into those kinds of characters. Gotta go fast, man.

Endorph posted:

It did! Some kind of instant Kill move one assumes but like...it didn't look hugely special or feel impactful. It felt like I got hit by a regular rear end anti-air and instantly died. Not really complaining because I kinda just took away from that not to jump when the guy has many meter but it was initially confusing.

I'm trying to counterbalance the incessant whining and twitter campaigning that just overwhelms all discussion these days.

We know practically nothing and everyone is upset and their waifu didn't get in.

It was bad for Tekken 7 but we knew alot more about T7. We know 5 seconds of SF5 and its the same.

Yeah, but people kinda filed into what game they wanted to play (competitively) during 3S's run. You had the entire Toodles bootleg dreamcast disc to pick your poison.

Arcade player from nyc. 3s only got burn because by time 3s came out CVS2 was well established as was mvc2 newbies would run into a solid wall so everyone who wasnt playing those either played snk or picked up 3rd strike and ran with it.

You have to go into a specific mode to use destroys. The character poses and red lines float over them. You don't need to have meter to use them, but the trade-off for going for a destroy is you lose your meter.

And I can't really think of any moves that look like regular anti-airs. Even Sol's has a lot of pomp and circumstance and he jumps with like 50 flames around him.

They're much more impressive in Xrd, too, and it's possible to combo into them (with like full meter and an opponent at low health.)

I don't think there's a single person that would disagree with you. This was the number one complaint since Vanilla. Blocking in SF4 is just way too good.

I'd like to see Blanka be better designed and not be absolute trash with no real tools or offensive capability. Not being punishable on hit would be a great start, ball should always be safe on hit or always knock down.

Once again not getting my hopes up!
