I was going to make a big fuss over this but I looked it up and you're right, this was the box for what I had as a kid:

I guess I have a reason to try Turbo now since I actually haven't ever played it before.

I forgot how awesome the super boxart was for the genesis.

Juri and Hakan are the only sf4 character design that I actually liked.The rest were ugly or just boring.

In comparison the sf5 character designs are a lot better. Rashid, Fang and Necall are all pretty good.

I would not say Necalli is good, he is about as milquetoast as aztec tribal warrior can be. He's not bad, but nothing about him sticks out in particular and honestly the comparison to Blanka is more than apt. The two original SFV characters who are cool don't really outweigh the two you just named tbh and I would even say that like Viper and Abel are cool designs even if gameplay wise Viper breaks every convention of SF she can.

Well I said "pretty good" I find necalli got a bit of a character to him and I like the super sayian hair.

The problem with that is that I don't think Viper and Abel are good designs. Viper's got the goofy hair, the weird open shirt and the goggles and nothing about her seems to mesh well. Abel's design was the epitome of generic fighting guy. I didn't like Rufus, El Fuerte or Seth. They were all just boring and nothing about them really popped to me.

I mean SF4 did have more original characters, even in the vanilla version, but man, they did not do a thing for me.

Even UMvC3 was a clusterfuck because it was only a few months after MvC3:FTW, and the vast majority of the gaming public who bought FTW felt like they got ripped off.

I wouldn't say "felt like" I still think they were ripped off. I had a ton of fun playing umvc3 but holy poo poo was it a stupid, stupid move by capcom. Charging 40 bucks for the thing was incredibly stupid.

I usually don't give a two shits about a fighting game story, but I think having capcom and marvel characters interact in a decent story mode could be really fun.

So it's probably not gonna happen.

It's like someone plugged a machine into my brain to extract my perfect dbz fighting game.

People are loving crazy if they don't think this is going to sell well.


Goku was one of the top voted characters for being included in Smash. Xenoverse sold super well. The reception to this announcement and trailer has been almost completely positive, aside from some occasional dumbass youtube comment wanting another lovely dbz brawler.

I was sort of hyped when xenoverse first came out, but then I found out the game was a boring grindfest, so gently caress that series.

Only having fireball motions seems like such a no-brainer I'm surprised no other game (afaik?) has done it yet

it does limit how many special your character can do.

Apparently there's a lot of command normals though.

Yeah, they got a dude to make new music for Kai, but then it turned out he completely plagiarized a bunch of it from some movies, so they ended up going back and using the original Japanese score.

which sucks considering there's was a lot of good tracks.

If krillin could use his disc as an assist, that would be neat. Though probably broken as gently caress.

I'm curious to how ssb goku will play differently, may be like an order sol/sol situation?

I'm just hoping that now that we have the super versions, we can get Hit or Zamasu in the game.

Original DB is cool. DBZ helped write the book on modern shonen so it doesn't hold up THAT well but it's still good. Super is lighter and Toriyama destroying a bunch of the spergy power-creep BS while still adding more power-creep BS at the same time (well, it's more Toei doing that while Toriyama throws out a basic guideline). It's pretty fun. Broly is a lesbian now.

Super is good since they said "gently caress it" to power levels and instead focused on having all the cast do cool poo poo and help out.

Of course, some fanboys went nuts over the fact that android 17 was relevant again, given that he should be weak or whatever.

I will never understand how the smash community can get hype over the same 5 guys winning.

It's gotten so bad that some of the top players have suggested that they be allowed to skip pools altogether.

skipping a "dramatic into" or dramatic finish at a tournament should be punishable by a lifelong ban from the tourney and/or death imo.

I still can't believe that poo poo lasted as long as it did,you'd have to block for a ridiculous amount of time because there wasn't any pushblock.

I got back into dbfz after getting it cheap on steam last Christmas. The game is loving fun but God drat were some of the pressure strings ridiculous. The new changes seem good.

Still want push block.

I am an advocate for some kind of metered push block but every time the subject came up with long time players, they would always retort “reflect and Z-Change are good enough, we don’t need push block” and i always just shrugged

Maybe I'm not good enough but the risk with reflect rarely seems worth it imo
