They should've made this the last year of Ultra Street Fighter IV for the CPT. This game needed more than 4 extra months worth of work.

They should've pushed back the release but released this product as a closed beta for people who preordered the digital version. Digital sales are hard to impossible to refund on PSN anyway, it's not like they would've lost a lot of money.

this game should have just been put into the trash and remade. maybe selling less than sfxt will convince them to try making a good game instead of a baby game next time

Whoa you mean we need to release a finished product that works properly to make money like we did multiple times over the course of the last console generation?

Pachislot isn't profitable anymore because of Japanese gambling reforms. There's a reason why SNK left the Patchislot market. Konami hosed themselves by going full pachinko like a month before it happened

Legalization of straight Pachislot gambling, which means a hefty tax on it

edit: In case you don't know about pachislot-- the way it works is, you play for small balls with a number on it, which you can trade for prizes. It just so happens that pachislot parlors have a pawn shop attached to it where you can trade this prize for an amount of money. No gambling there, no sir

It's heavily taxed and regulated now, which means there's less money in it. It'll still be an industry, but you can't just slap game footage onto a pachislot machine and turn a profit.

I dunno I get the sense that Capcom (/Japanese companies) have such a loving insane amount of hubris that they refuse to connect the dots on this poo poo. When you make a game like SFxT and then say it did badly because the FG market is saturated, it's hard to imagine it being possible to ever recognize when you've actually just made a lovely game.

I'm pretty sure Chipp's throw range is worse than that

He just moves roughly ten times faster than the average SFV character

Yeah Xrd throw range is short but I mean it's kinda totally different because there's no startup, no whiffing, (intentionally) teching out isn't a thing. and lots of them lead right into combos.

Reminder to self: learn to setup more throws in GG.

Hey, you got here before me!

At least in MB you can do so much stupid poo poo that even a bad throw is an option. And you can combo off some of them!

Bad throws are one of the things I really hate about SFV. It feeling terrible to play footsies between buttons with hurtboxes being wider than hitboxes, the whole 8f fiasco (which to be fair is the one thing that keeps SFV an offensive game) and backtech annoying me more than backdashing complete the list.

It did get rid of FADC, low-risk high-reward conversions into vortexes and 1f links, I suppose.

Saying vortex is stupid but using okizeme isn't. Dang.

Especially when you consider people use vortex for mixup that leads to knockdown that leads to mixup, and okizeme is just the mixup part. I dunno, of all terms to get pedantic about, I don't get that one, especially when you wanna call it "oki".

Yeah, the lack of range is counteracted by the fact that you can't whiff a throw anyway and they come out fast as hell.

At least SF5 isn't SFxT. Remember those throws? Geez.

They managed to be worse. Same issues apply, except they were 7f and laughably low damage for the game. The revision made them eat up grey damage, so at least they had a use then.

Throws aren't even a thing in soku, though some characters have command grabs that range from bad to decent.
