I'm still excited, tho, and I'm bummed I gotta wait until the 11th unless my copy gets shipped early

I hope they add some colors later on that are similar to the Ky and Sol flips in the deluxe edition or whatever that do effects as well. Granted other characters don't have as obvious counterparts, but they're a good idea and changing effect colors is neat.

In Training posted:"Strive sucks because it doesn't have M.O.M. Mode" is a awesome take i think its a weird omission since poo poo like SFA3 world tour or MOM mode is really fun for a lot of casual players and it seems to be their audience

It still strikes me as a missed opportunity that nobody has made a roguelite single player fighting game where you build your character's moveset as you go along, or I guess like take damage or health buffs or invincible dash or something if you don't like the move options. Not having overlapping motions would give some structure right from the start. Granted programming AI would probably be the hard part for indie devs who might be more likely to do this sort of thing. If you're really ambitious, let people take characters they've finished runs with online, with zero expectation of competitive balance.

River City Girls hits pretty close to this.

Tobal and Ergheiz quest modes are kinda like that

Wasn't there a Mortal Kombat game where in the story mode your person could learn everyone's moves?

Gutcruncher posted:I enjoyed strive a lot during the beta but I can absolutely understand the frustration or disappointment in a developer basically alienating their existing audience going after some hypothetical audience that may never come. Doesn't help that we've all seen this cycle happen with games over and over, developers taking their audience for granted or actively alienating them while going all-in on chasing an audience of higher perceived value that indeed may not actually exist outside the heads of their executives. (it also happens in other industries, and with political parties) Reiley posted:River City Girls hits pretty close to this. Eh, I dunno about that? While some moves are more useful than others (and aerials are kinda broken, especially Kyoko's Scrooge McDuck-style bounce) it feels more like unlocking a full moveset than building your own style, IMO.

Street Fighter EX3's Ace is a customisable RPG fighter dude, basically.kirbysuperstar posted:Armageddon mostly but it was kind of there in uh..the one..before it. Not Deadly Alliance. Deception? Armageddon had a full-on character creator, but I don't remember how it worked because gently caress that game. Deception had the story mode with Shujinko, who'd learn moves from other MK characters over the course of the story and when you beat it you'd unlock him as a regular fighter. There was no customisation element whatsoever, he was just a dude with other peoples' moves, like a really lame Seth/Dural. Also his name is literally "protagonist", never forget.

Deception is the one that was kinda like Mortal Kombat RPG in that you went around building up your character in the story mode. I don't think anybody really liked Shujinko however and canonically his last appearance in the series was when Cassie Cage showed up and beat the poo poo out of him for no reason lmao.

Fantasy Strike does something like this, the survival mode is a deckbuilder thing where you get cards that modify your char's stats or moveset after each fight. Pretty fun actually.

There was a N64 fighting game that let you create characters and built your moveset by fighting others. Deadly Arts or something like that.

Sonic Battle on the GBA had that too with Emerl. The system has problems though namely having to grind out a bunch of points to be able to equip a full moveset. Also the story starts getting kind of bullshit and you need to figure out some cheese for it.

Doesn't help the first real boss fight is against Knuckles who hits like a train while you have like two actual moves at that point.

By the end of MKX, Raiden was corrupted into being a total dick and he remembered that in the original timeline, Shujinko was going to unknowingly resurrect Onaga while basically gifting him the MK version of the Infinity Gauntlet. So he just told Cassie that this old guy was terrorizing people and let her unknowingly tie up that loose end.

Oh I don’t take it personally, but I think the problems with the game are overstated. Give it six months. People will be happy for VF, the netcode will be a minor annoyance by and large, and we’ll all forget it. Like I feel 99% sure this is going to be the case. There are obviously going to be edge cases that are lovely, that sucks. I’m not denying that. Or even the fact that it’s a relatively low effort port with some level of cynicism behind it, but man, seeing poo poo like that just makes me feel like people are trying to be mad about video games. And I don’t see the point. Nazzadan posted:The Option Select is the fighting game version of The Onion, Hard Times, The Hard Drive, etc. e: Context is important. lol

VF5 US has felt nothing but lovely to me online and I'm wired in, playing against other people near me who are also wired in, and have had nothing but 4bar matches so far. Definitely not an overstated problem for me at least.

The VF5 netcode is just so weird. Most of my matches have been excellent but being server-based that’s absolutely not universal. I can’t imagine the worst VF5 matches being as bad as the average Samsho or KOF14 though so it’s at least better than the typical delay-based.
