Y'all had Link and Vader and poo poo, but SC6 you're gonna have to really step up the weird-rear end guest characters to compete these days.

Xbox gets William from Nioh and PS4 gets Tellion+Celebrimbor

PC gets Ash prime

Can someone explain to me why UE4 is getting so popular for fighting games? It would make sense that it would be cheaper than developing a new engine from scratch, but what other advantages does it bring?

I think its just a good, efficient, easy to code for multi-platform engine on its fourth iteration so it has a lot of familiarity.

Maybe they'll go back and just do a basic game without all the weird bad mechanics

Rumor is they couldnt get their idea of characters having weapon selection like how mk does its char variations to work so they had to scale the game back substantially

I haven't played earlier Tekken games but isn't Tekken 7 considered to be the best one, or at least one of the best ones? And SC6 seems to be produced by the same guy.

Yeah they did, it's pretty amazing that it has the flexibility for such cool a cool look as well as traditional 3d graphics. Though I imagine a lot of that is the talent of the Xrd team.

Oh right, I completely overlooked the multi-platform stuff.

Just cool to see how UE has changed over the years, and how it works in different genres.

that would be fine by me. game with lots of chars, dont get too fancy. remove useless moves etc. just sort of... do what sc5 was supposed to be, but instead of story and chars its with gameplay.

Aside from being well-proven as everyone else has said, Epic has a dedicated documentation and support office in Japan, so there's no timezone or language barriers.

I thought Xrd was Unreal 3, which is why it loads so fast compared to all the UE4 games. Also: Tifa should be in Tekken.

Xrd was based on Unreal 3, yes, since it was cheaper at the time (UE4 had just launched), supported all the platforms they were targeting, and was easy for both programmers and artists to work with.

SC5 was disappointing. I've missed the game series, I am hopeful that SC6 will be decent. Guess we don't really know very much about it yet, though.

Basically, yes. It's been really well received by 99% of the Tekken community and brought in a tonne of new players

Incidentally, I wonder if Fighter Z (or any other fighter really) will manage to come anywhere near the player numbers Tekken 7 has on PC.
Tekken 7 still has a really high number on concurrent players on Steam that no other fighter comes close to even.

I imagine Fighter Z will get a shitload of people inthe early weeks because it looks so much like a DBZ fight and people love DBZ. But i wonder how many will stick around to try and learn a airdasher with tags.

Promo art shows the Soul Calibur 2 designs for soul edge and soul calibur are coming back, which along with the "history hides more than one truth" indicates to me they may be rebooting the series. I hope so

SC1 and 2 are the best ones so this is good. I kinda got that vibe from classic Athens and Yung Mitsurugi
