Loving it, digging it, but there are a few things;
-I'm really not liking all the jobbing Chun has gotten
-I was hoping for a bigger moment between Guile and Charlie. It's been years guys! How could you not have more?!
-Urien's appearance was magnificent and I love how he keeps calling Charlie Clay doll
-It's awesome, I didn't notice, but right after Urien left, Helen showed that she hates his guts with her expression, but the shoulder insignia she has on her left shoulder is the red and blue mask of those cultists in Gill's intro! Nice hint!
-Maaaan Helen is cute. I hope that the accent wasn't just a cover and she keeps that for the future, it's really nice.
-WHY DID THEY CENSOR FANG MURDERING THE SCIENTIST?! CRAPPP!
-Hmm, so far Karin seems to be one of the writer's favs but not too too Mary Sue, will add additional thoughts at I continue
-Rashid is goofy, but I love the guy. A great new addition. I hope I see him again!
-Love Ibuki and Mika's rivalry
--Marz is adorable, but I don't know why one of the other more combat competent dolls wasn't sent to raid Karin's house given her reputation
-Hajoken lol
-I absolutely love that little moment concerning families it shows that the fighters all know about each other; I loved seeing Ken and Mel play and the brief but great moment of Chun li and Cammy talking about families got to me. Cammy admitting the families confuse her due to her history was a sad but nice touch.
-I love Aprile and all the Doll voices so far. Marz is frightened but adorable.
-Poor Birdie, scores a win, still gets stomped on. Hmm. did they ever explain his weight gain? I skipped around a few parts, but I thought in interviews they said they'd explain why he got fat and why Bison has white hair, so far haven't seen an explanation for either.
-lmao "Is this considered...a typical brother-sister relationship?" Cammy being confused at Laura bullying Sean is hilarious
-Laura is violent and crazy, but also friendly, I like her a lot more after seeing her in story mode
-Ed's voice and attitude are a nice match with Balrog (Nice work Bosco!)
-Alex and Dhalsim's exchange is great, it reminds me of something that would happen to Raph from TMNT
-Hmm cryptic mention from Dhalsim about Alex seeking answers when the time comes...really interested to see what lies ahead
-HOLY CRAP! WE FIGHT COMMISSIONER GORDON?! No way!
-I liked the Mika and Ibuki fights vs Rog. Even though they won, it wasn't a cheap matchup and he just kept getting back up. (scary) they had to escape so no jobbing there thankfully. Overall the power balance for these fights isn't bad at all.
-Kinda annoyed how they wont let Chun
fight; Dhalsim came to (awesomely) take care of the Shadaloo troopers, Karin fought Fang, sheesh, could we have Chun fight one battle?!
-Bison wins vs Charlie: "Why can't you stay dead?"
-Bison vs Necalli "Want your soul" "try and take it!"
-Liking the little moment concerning looking for friends with Charlie and Rashid. Found it weird that Rashid completely avoids using a name or gender in regards to the friend. Could the gender be different depending on regions hence the vagueness?
-Gief lecturing possessed Abel is fantastic. I love how he's this beloved hearty fellow, no more of the dumb badguy that the cartoon and movie portrayed him as.
-Guile helped lift up Charlie into the chopper...oh...oh man that music cue...ahem...something...in eye...
-YES Juri finally called out how
creepy Vega is! "Hey perv...this one's mine!"
-THE DOG TAGS!! <3
-Abel remembers Nash's name from that reaction, but I wanted more
-Yeesh, angry Helen is scary Helen
-I've said before that unless it's the animes or comics I'm not the biggest Ryu fan. I don't hate him, I just don't get much out of him, but denjin mode and his defeat of Necalli was a real nice moment, kinda wish the explained Necalli a bit more, he sorta feels like an underdeveloped plot device
-The all for one moment at the Kanzuki mansion with Sim, Ryu, Ken, and Karin was simply beautiful. It's what I've wanted for a long time - the cast uniting to take on the big bad!
-Karin update; I feel she's connected and has a bit of focus, but I don't feel she's a mary sue like others have said. She's not one-shotting most of the cast
-Byron, though his appearances may be brief, he's cool.
-That shot of chaos and Helen reading from her Holy book was grand, I'm glad they're really getting into the meat of Gill's aesthetic
-All the heroes exiting out of the copter was golden, oh man the music is fantastic too!
-Satsuki vs Gief was amazing lol poor Murasame
-Whoa, Fervier just totally called Birdie a piece of shit in French and several users will be happy with Birdie saying "HEY using a weapon is CHEATING'!" also confirmed dudes like him and Gief have density powers, Birdie could take being shot by psycho bullets and was only slightly inconvenienced
-DOUBLE OJOU LAUGH!!!!
-Juli!!!
-Seeing Rashid's rage and the effect on his powers, I don't think his wind is tech. I think it's all ki
-The dog tags... :( ;_;7
-I gotta say 2nd time around I'm a lot more accepting of Charlie's fate. He went out good
-YEAH finally Chun li gets to friggin' HIT someone. Also loved her "Will you shut up?!" to Fang.
-I gotta say, I'm surprised that Ryu was absent for a lot of this. It felt natural for everyone to get some focus, I'm feeling pretty good about this still
-Ryu to Ko Bison:"Is this the power you were seeking?" GREAT line. I feel a lot better about Ryu ending Bison during my 2nd viewing of this
-Bison's death was so well animated. I love how there were no calls for revenge, no cheapshots. He was defeated, smirked and accepted it. So well done that there's room for his return.
-Sad that Rose had NOTHING to do with this. I was hoping for her standing on a mountain top getting a line of "It's finally over.."
-Man the ending/credits music is great.
-"Come and follow me...KOLIN" LOVE this voice actor's delivery. <3
-Like Gill's new voice, sounds a bit like Seth's though interestingly enough. Glad they ditched the audio distortion and glimmer.
-Interesting that that glowing butterfly came back and landed on Gill's hand
-Double interesting that Gill is not a hardass like Urien. He pondered on the discrepancy of the prophecy, gave a good natured chuckle and made Helen's day.
-Thoughts about the Helen-Kolin thing. Since there are elements of Gill that share similarities to the bible does anyone think that her getting the name Kolin means she's been accepted, moved to a new identity and sense of being?? Throughout this she was desperate to succeed for Gill in return for something and when he wasn't upset about Ryu being the one to beat Bison she got excited like she knew this was coming. Maybe this is similar to how some people in the bible changed their names after having their lives changed?
-The headband moment and the fist bump. You guys did it... you finally made me care about Ryu and Ken in game. I love all that brotherhood. "Keep pushing forward!"
Phew, this was fantastic. I love this, I love all you guys. It's....it's a great time to be a SF fan.
