Bummer. Hopefully the customization pieces are good enough to make the perfect or near-perfect facsimile of old alternate outfits.

I guess keeping the ability to doll up the base characters is good but no prepackaged alternates does suck, but that seems to be the trend nowadays. I just hope there isnt paid dlc for more pretty princess dress up items because I will angrily buy it.

I was hoping Ivy's alternate outfit was in. Blegh

I mean that's how V did it, and it was robust enough.

V also had DLC for more items, but didn't feel unnecessarily gimped without them.

No, V definitely had two basic costumes per character (at least, most of the characters), and also let you make custom outfits.

SC6 has been running under extremely tight deadlines from the start, and at one point the director tweeted out some seriously depressive (possibly bordering on suicidal) thoughts, so it's no surprise that something was going to get jettisoned. Still, hearing this right after Namco had to walk back their awful day 1 DLC plan is real bad optics.

Well that's the first bit of disappointing news for me. But I'll take that sacrifice if it helps the rest of the game. I hope the creator has some unique features for weird characters like Nightmare; IV was pretty good about that with some different arms and stuff, but V cut a lot of that down and peeps like Nightmare and Yoshimitsu couldn't even change their torso armor.

SC4 was also under time or budget constraints, which is why the story mode was mostly sketches or whatever. least that’s what I heard.. Glad this one has a cool sounding single player mode

It was SC5 that was also made under awful deadlines, and a lot of that can actually be attributed to the 2011 tsunami.

One of the most fun things about Injustice 2, and I'm 100% serious about this, was building up your AI fighters and seeing how far they'd get in the survival and boss towers.

They had to beg to get SC6 made and they have to turn a profit and the budget is pretty low. That's why you see whats happening.

The way Okubo told it in an interview, it even sounded like he had to be guilt tripped into heading the project.

If that was the case then why didn't they make the thirstiest outfits all expensive DLC and gate boob jiggle behind the season pass.

Do people really buy all that poo poo? Especially for Soul Calibur? That's more of a DOA thing anyway. They don't have the time to do all that anyway I think.

I hope the game does well, one of the best fighting series ever. I dig what we're seeing so far. Even though there's DLC stuff and they could've handled that reveal better, the game doesn't look lacking in content. And should make for a drat fine local versus game.

Am I missing something or is there no way to move on from just endlessly rematching against someone in ranked matches in Injustice 2 without bailing and giving yourself an L? Once the guy I was fighting switched to his obvious max ranked main it got tiresome having my rear end handed to me but that seemed to be my only way out.

I tried Wagner and Orie and just kept whiffing everything up close.

But instead of learning proper spacing, I tried out Whip Girl and I too love her.

Arika's streaming something related to the next big version update in about 12 hours, probably an overview of the content (which should include Vulcano Rosso and Pullum Purna) and the release date.

One of the devs streamed some of the changes the other day, including Rosso/Pullum stuff, so if you wanna pore over three and a half hours of untranslated training mode footage, have fun:

The two air BEs I didn't have much trouble with, honestly, but that might be because I tried learning F-Hisui and the timing for her air BS is a lot more annoying.

Arika's garage band aesthetic about FEXL, from the incredibly amateur videos on their youtube to the 3 hour raw streams, is so endearing.
