Seeing all the confused reactions to the trailer is pretty funny, too, like this is some new concept for SF. Hell, wasn't part of the reason Dictator kept Cammy around was to use her as a backup body in case something happened to him?

I think he actually did bodyjack her between alpha 3 and sf 2. Also this dynamic is why Cammy has a Dictator alternate costume in both IV and V.

I've heard that LTG was "confused" about the body - voice thing, but considering he's already been a garbage rear end transphobe previously, I couldn't be bothered to see what was actually said.

Hey, real noob question here, but I've been reading/watching some guides and I keep hearing stuff like "This move is -8", "This move is +1".


The hell do those numbers mean?


The full context was "[Move] is somewhat safe on block and -8 with minor pushback"

That's what people call framedata. Roughly, plus and minus moves mean how quick your move recovers relative to the opponent's reaction, be it blocking or getting hit. So let's say you do a move that's -3 on block. If you try to use a move that takes 3 frames to come out after they block that (that's a fast jab in SF), you're gonna lose to anything that starts up in 5 or 6 frames, depending on the game. You should assume that being minus is bad and being plus is good. -8 on block being somewhat safe feels like it's a Tekken thing?

It's referring to frame advantage/disadvantage.

If a move is plus on block, that means if you attack an opponent and they block it, you are able to act before the opponent gets out of blockstun.
So if a move is +1 on block, that means if your opponent blocks that move, you get to act 1 frame before they do. So you're safe, and could follow up with a fast move, but a big slow move your opponent could be able to interrupt with a fast attack, since you only are getting to act 1 frame before them.

If a move is -8 on block, your move has a long enough recovery period after it lands that your opponent leaves blockstun 8 frames before you are able to act. So if they use an attack that takes 8 frames or less to hit, you won't be able to block it because you're still in recovery. Perhaps if the move also pushes them back far enough, none of their moves that are that fast will be in range.

It's frame data, representing if you can act sooner, later, or at the same time as your opponent when the current attack/block animations are over.
The number is the 1/60ths of a second of time you have.

Ah, that makes sense. Framedata is a weird thing to read at first, and it varies depending on the game. SF usually has anything that's -4 or under being unsafe, moves that most characters can punish with a combo, but Tekken is a bit slower so you have to be at least -11 for a move to be punishable. NRS games are a weird mix between 2D and 3D games, I think the earliest a move is unsafe is -6? -8 with pushback probably gets you away from faster, short-ranged buttons, so that's why they called it "somewhat safe".

In MK11 the fastest two pokes in the game are 6f but practically speaking anything -6 or lower is safe, and some higher negative moves give enough pushback on block that they're effectively unpunishable anyway.

LTG also says the most homosexual things ever and tries to pass it off as "nuh uh if you thought what I said was gay, you're gay!" (he literally depicted a graphic scenario in which he wanted to commit sexual assault on someone with the help of his "disciples" just because he got beat in a online Street Fighter match). There's... just a lot of reasons why one shouldn't pay LTG any mind or attention, especially in late 2019.

But I am geniunelly excited for this Seth; it's a more unique and engaging design choice than "bald gray person with a yin-yang for a stomach", I still get to hear Michael McConnohie ham it up, and the play style looks pretty extravagant comparison to my boring-rear end Cammy.

Minor correction but -10 is the punishment threshold in Tekken, everybody has at least a tiny jab string or quick headbutt or something that comes out in 10 frames. -9 and higher is safe

All this lore chat makes me realize I kinda like that fighting games have story modes with actual story, even if it's silly poo poo like a factory where they're putting ninja brains in cyborg bodies. The last fighting game I played before all this was Soul Calibur 1 on the Dreamcast and IIRC pretty much the only in-game story was "People really want the big magic sword" though it's been a loooooooooooong time since I played it

Check out SNK games, a bunch of interconnected continuity that spans decades of in-game time and a good chunk of it focuses on a single city before you even get into the world is at stake King of Fighters stuff.


SNK made a 80s homage game in Art of Fighting/Art of Fighting 2 that's also a prequel to their Fatal Fury games, waaaaay ahead of the curve with this stuff. Someone made a great effort post earlier in the thread but SNK really was incredible right out of the gate with the Neo Geo and getting you to like their characters and their backstories and stuff. Even, way before anyone else, having tons of character specific dialogue and pre-fight animations and stuff like that unique to certain characters, it's awesome. So even if they didn't have something like a story mode as we know it now with something like the MK games you still got a lot out of them character development wise just from the in-game stuff.
