Street Fighter V

From Ed-boy's story mode. Hrmmm

hopefully she can get that scoliosis worked out before they add her in
looks pretty bad
 
and wouldn't you know it, they just added Gorilla from Cromartie into Tekken 7

truly, 2017 is a good year for gorilla representation in fighting games
 
Is this a joke or not
Looking at the gorilla in the picture and the next silhouette, it totally looks possible. That seems like a rather odd pull for SF to me though, and I like III's cast.
 
they gotta get those gorilla grodd sales inj 2 is getting
 
apparently, there was someone a while ago that said that the final 3 DLC would be Abigail (from Final Fight), a new female character named Menat (it's Egyptian if you didn't know), and Zeku (Guy's master from SFA)

grains of salt and all that, but specifically predicting an Egyptian female character in wake of Neo-Rose over here is little on the nose
Abigail has been a pretty popular speculation for the 4th slot and looking at Zeku's art on the website? i can see it with a little redesign

but who knows we'll probably get some leaks in July if capcom doesn't just say who they are at e3 or some shit
 
4 hits with Gief. Air headbutt, regular headbutt, s.LK, double lariat.

Gief is already one of Alex's worse matchups

Now I get to have even more fun :^^^^66))))))0
 
I've not really been one to shit on SFV, and I've even been known to defend it.

But S2 and S2.5 have really started to shake my faith in Capcom.

I was worried about the high damage of S1 because high damage is too swingy and leads to too many upsets. S2 turned that damage to 11.

I'm not saying there isn't anything wrong here, and certainly not claiming that's the best that's out there, but if we're using that example you have to remember it is counter hit, full V-Trigger, 1 bar and it's Zangief against Akuma.
 
any gief that can actually land the air headbutt deserves all the stun it gives
it's not a move you can just throw out like a YOLO DP back in the days

It is, actually. It's an amazing oki tool. If you guess wrong and jump on wakeup expecting an SPD, you're gonna eat a headbutt. And the guessing game begins again. This is especially frustrating with characters like Alex that don't have good reversals or 3f normals

As someone who has talked up Tekken 7's netcode, I would like to point out they patched it recently and made it worse. However, even if that were not the case, I must ask why Capcom won't just license GGPO already, it can't be expensive and if it were a pride thing they wouldn't make the literal announcement they're getting Namco to fix their shit so what the fuck?
 
Whether being conservative or prideful, they're on really good terms with Bandai Namco already. I know nothing about netcode in Bamco games though.
 
NIH, plain and simple.

I mean Arcsys is basically leading the pack right now with worst possible netcode on a mainstream fighter.

Tekken before yesterday's patch worked, but I honestly believe that is less a statement on the netcode and more a statement on how FG netcode affects a slower game.

Finally, SFV which is, and I mean this in the most depressing way possible, the shining example of Japanese FG netcode.

In other words, Japan is giving us a lot of reasons to support our own local games.
 
No.

Because he's literally the last person they should've added.
 
I did not know Street Fighter had a Potemkin. He from Super Turbo?
 
Yo this championship stage looks great.

I love bright outdoor stages like this.
 
i'm watching this trailer over and over and I still can't even process this
my expectations are exceeded bravo
 
look at those graceful flips
those gymnastics lessons are paying off
 
Well, that's certainly a character.
Capcom is so off with the proportions though, man.

You're telling me. I felt like I wanted to cry when I saw Abigail, and they were not tears of joy. We now have someone bigger than Hugo. What the hell Capcom. Why are you going this way with some of the characters.
 
I think he looks awesome. I'm glad Capcom is being weird and trying daring things with S2's cast.
 
it makes me think they'll alternate weird shit with safe choices per season
I wouldn't be surprised if there was no new characters next season, just a bunch of returns
maybe a character or two we haven't seen for a while, like Eagle or even an SF1 dude like Retsu or whatever
 
I think my knee jerk reaction is the same as everybody else.
At this point I think people are being a lil' too rough on him and unfairly comparing him to Geese or Jedah when it comes to reveals.
 
Did you forget Street Fighter 2
That was his brother. In 3rd Strike it was his mother. And in SF4 it was his father. This is EXTRA REVENGE.
