Street Fighter V

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.
Hating on Capcom is whats cool and hip these days. Even after the sick Jedah reveal people are still saying the game i gonna flop which, lets be honest, is an impossibility.
 
He did it

With Akuma too, who is considered not terribly amazing in this game, mostly due to his low health in combination with the massive amount of damage that can happen in this game.

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
We could get weird returns though, Oro is past due. Necro or Q would be cool too.

What does it say about me that I consider Oro and Q to be safe choices...
 
Abigail's mohawk isn't actually a mohawk

it's a fucking maple leaf

That you have taste, unlike the thousands of morons who will tell you SF III is the worst Street Fighter because it has a terrible cast.

After reading his backstory, all I can imagine is that one freakishly muscular bishie 'cept with Abigail's head saying that life is tough when you have a girl's name.

Abigail is so bad it's good.

Basically this. His looks are totally disgusting, and he seems obnoxious as hell with his behaviour. But this somewhat makes him a very interesting and unique character.
 
rt though i don't understand people who don't like goofy characters in Street Fighter
sf has legit always been the goofiest of the big fighting games to me since SF2
like it's always had these over the top and silly (sometimes pretty racist) designs

like yeah i get it sagat is cool but like everyone else in the fuckin' cast is a huge weirdo

You have to look at the context.
This is like telling a joke
To someone on their death bed.
 
no i mean this has always happened
SFIII has "weird" characters, SF4 has "annoying" characters, SFV has "out of place" characters and people say this with zero irony as if SF wasn't always a coalescence of fuckin' weirdos

I mean, my favorite Street Fighter characters have always been Ken and Makoto.

But then, KoF always looked so bland compared to SF.
 
People are complaining about his proportions, and his wittle head.

But like

Potemkin's cool though of course.

I brought that up in YouTube comments before I thought better and deleted it so I'd stop getting notifications for those shitty arguments. Someone said "it's a different art style." Like bitch nobody else in Guilty Gear looks ANYTHING like Pot.

Maybe Guilty Gear's animations are better but Pot's design is wtf.

Also because Potemkin is a freak of nature and resembles one through his appearance.

Plus, his head isn't that tiny in the older games. It's only his panzerfaust helmet that makes his head look so small.

My problem is that he looks way too cartoony in a game where everyone has cartoon designs. He looks like a clay fighter character added in. People even say he looks like one of the bad guys from Small Soldiers.

Story costume and Battle costume

I like both a lot! They actually make his wacky arms a lot more reasonable too.
people that don't like his face can just use the story costume too.

Abigail just has something for everyone. He's so precious ;-;

Both are easily better than the default, makes you wonder if it's on purpose.
 
He's a good boy. Everyone stop bullying him.

I pledge to be the best Abigail player in the world. See you chumps at EVO next year.

He fucked with my life, during stage five, when I was eight. I'll do a lot more than bully him.

Referring to the Arcade version, Snes version was a cakewalk.
 
The story outfit is unironically cool tbh tbh imo imo tbh


I'm more offended by butchered character models like ibuki than I could ever be of a character like this.
 
Xander Mobus is seriously a fucking wizard with how crazy his range is

like i swear I've never heard him use the same voice twice

Abigail has reverse grown on me. In that I initially kinda liked his goofiness but have come to loathe him more and more with each re-watch of his trailer. I suspect I'd be less salty if the welding mask outfit were his default appearance.
 
Yeah, I think he really needs the extra color on his body and head covering to look halfway decent. Also, I don't like how small and bland his head is and I hate how it constantly gets covered by his shoulder. Again, costume helps by adding more flair and making it more noticeable.
