Abel was pretty amazing in his SFxT storyline with Guile. Guile's trying to be all serious and professional while Abel's happily talking about bears and takes a moment to poo poo on Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.

He's also canonically a Fei Long fanboy which is pretty fun

hot take and this isn't a high bar to clear, Abel is the least bad of the vanilla sf4 newcomers

C. Viper is better than Abel, imo, and I'd like to see her come back. Too bad nobody could actually play her.

God Fuerte was fuckin dumb but fun.

Also for V: As little love as he got, I still really love FANG's aesthetic, that like ye olde chinese 'mysterious man/assassin' look with the long sleeves, the little dark glasses, broad hat and everything.

Keen on the hygiene and on the mission like a super technician.
As far as vanilla SFV newbies, I think they all look fine despite the SFV artstyle, but I thought only Laura and Rashid were fun to play.

Rashid needs to come back just for his theme alone

Played some Rivals of Aether to try to learn how platforms fighters actually play. It's fairly fun even though I have a lot of issues with the format.
Isn't a big fan of how stupid fast that game is so I thought let's give Brawlhalla a try, maybe it'll be more my speed.
If I'm doing my head math correctly, every character in that game has something like 34 total moves in their movelist and only 6 of them are unique per character? What the gently caress?

Sometimes you'd jump, then just dive kick at the end, sometimes you'd dive kick instantly. And sometimes.. the forbidden neutral jump to try and make them whiff something

He was a complex character with fantastic writing ok!!

JWong was a great Rufus innovator because he learned how to sometimes not divekick and instead sweep/cr.HP because everyone is expecting the divekick.

c viper not being in 5 sucks because she was cool and awesome

but it's also good because it means she has not been rendered in potentially awful playdoh

I'm aware, but the D lister returning from 2 squad is extremely small because there's not that many characters so I assumed that included returning from 3 but if not I guess I'll agree that C. Viper is better than like... Dee Jay.

It's not. Dee Jay, Fei Long, Blanka, E. Honda, T. Hawk. And that's being very generous to a lot of the SF2 cast who rightfully were left in the dust with SF3.

i just wanna play more rolento

he was the most fun part of sf4 for me


also seeing pro level players having legit different styles of play. Abel players were super fun to watch for some reason.

i didnt like a whole lot of playing sf4 but it was more fun to watch than most sfv matches

For people who already have it, there’s a great mod that not only strips out GFWL so the game works properly, but it also adds all of the PS3 exclusive characters. It loses net play but who gives a gently caress

This is 100% true, and also a really wild reflection on how Rufus evolved over like.. dang 6 or 7 years? His offense was just absolutely bonkers, and a ton of fun to play

What if.. not dive kick? :psyboom:
