You sayin' I like dubs?!?
Having not seen this review, I will say that soul calibur 6 launched with the smallest roster in the series since the original goddamn soul calibur from 1998 (and it still only tied with it) and having a ton of dlc that's just "create a character parts we ported over from the previous two games, but not even all of them" is a dick move.

Yeah yeah I'm sure their budget was whatever scraps fell on the ground at the tekken office, that doesn't mean loading up a game and having a substantial chunk of the roster be empty spaces that you open up by spending money feels any less lovely just because I empathize with okubo-san.

The issue I have with this is that while I see how grinding for currency in MKDA would be very tedious, you don't have to shell any actual money in order to do it.

It's like, I would prefer to make a single $60 (or less) purchase that has everything, rather than pay $60 for the game, then spend another $60 for the extra characters and customization content and frame data display mode and so on.

No one responded to this but that's not really what's happening. Like yes it is what's happening the case of day 1 DLC and that's awful but most DLC characters are developed after the game actually releases. It's the same idea as paying more for Brood War despite you already having bought Starcraft.

There's been points where I've had HEMA poo poo pop up in my Youtube feed in the past and my impression is that Matt Easton is well educated and actually studies history, Skallagrim practices HEMA seriously but doesn't have as much of a historical background, and Shadiversity is a neckbeard who doesn't really have any idea what he's talking about but he'll say dumb poo poo that confirms nerd biases.

Like the only Shadiversity video I remember watching is him talking about dumb fantasy boob plate and saying "well no one actually made armor for women because they weren't expected to fight but men had dumb armor decisions that weren't actually useful like the famous armor codpiece so if there was an actual woman knight who could get armor commissioned she'd probably have commissioned boobplate, ergo the fantasy boobplate is actually historically justifiable!"

If your super doesn't darken the screen, show the character portrait huge, and give exactly enough time for an onlooker to say "oh shiiiiii-" before it connects is it even a super?

I can't find any solid information on how much SF3 sold outside of extremely anemic arcade sales while the playstation version of Alpha 3 alone is still in capcom's top selling games it's not hard to see why they looked back instead of pushing the designs forward.

street fighter 3 and its first sequel being the least interesting street fighter games I've ever played, even more than street fighter the movie, probably did more for that games sales than not having guile and chun li in it (that was just icing on the cake).
It's really easy to forget that "third strike" wasn't just a cool subtitle but a pretty serious gameplay/roster/asthetic overhaul for what was a very wack game.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


It was two whole years before SF3 even appeared on a home console and that console was the Dreamcast so I don't think the character roster is entirely to blame here. If you lived in the US and didn't live near an arcade that had SF3 machines you probably weren't even aware that it existed.

This but unironically, I'm down for dream match games going forward with increasingly ridiculous reasons

Then again I don't think I've touch the story/single player modes in a fighting game since SFIV so I'm definitely not the target audience here.

Possibly not even in the tens of thousands, arcade-wise. According to Akiman, Street Fighter 3 sold around 1000 arcade boards in Japan (when 3000 was considered a success). Former international sales staff are unable to agree on how many it sold elsewhere, but probably only a couple of thousand more, with possibly just 300 units sold in the US - a tenth of what Marvel vs Capcom 1 did!

SF3 was a pretty monumental flop, and it's kind of stunning that it was allowed to be further iterated upon into Third Strike, but those CPS3 arcade boards were pretty expensive so I guess they needed to make use of 'em.

A lot of it was just CPS3 flopped hard, especially outside Japan where nobody else knew what a loving Jojo was so the board basically existed for SF3 and that was it. It also didn't get a decent home port outside Japan until SF Anniversary Collection on PS2 in 2004 unless you had a Dreamcast and bought one of the very tiny print run of 3S (or more likely, just pirated it.)
