Nobody gave the small roster a pass because of FM, it was given a pass by some because it was still one of the larger launch rosters for a SF game (not that it's a good excuse at all). FM was used to give a pass to the costume price jacking more often than not.
I'd prefer this too. Something like Tour Mode? in SFA3 is so, SO much better as single player content and not nearly as expensive to produce. I only played through the story mode for the free FM, and thought it was terrible. You never see people online raving about it, and it clearly didn't make SFV a big seller anyways.
But... you can, and it renders the complaint moot. That you feel he's overanimated, sure. But how can something be distracting when you don't have to look at it and in fact never will during a match?
Pretty sure almost every normal attack in the game, especially heavies, does that already.
I don't... think so? There's definitely members of the original cast that do this. Nash's st.hp comes to mind. But if they've done it since the base cast, it's very little because I can't remember any instances of that.
I don't see how they're terrible? If you merely dislike how some characters have post recovery flairs on everything, Zeku actually doesn't have any on his normals. He only has them for his throws and special moves and they fit super well with who he is as a character, unlike some season 3 characters where it feels like random additions.
Sakura has one of these special blocked animations on her st.HK. I think she's the last character that got one of those.
yeah lol
Agreed, one of the few poor aspects of the animation is that they were inconsistent in what characters get what animation features.
That was the whole pitch of the system! That's why you buy the game in the first place, it's part of that price, it's why they include the system at all, to sell more! I don't lose anything if SF6 has no fight money, I get to make direct purchasing decisions around what content i'm getting exactly and not get a full priced early access(hyperbole) game that reduces the scope of what content you can earn without warning 4 times or get left in the lurch if i earn some of the content but still have to pay for all of the remaining content as if i'd never earned anything, and in fact earning some of the content makes my purchasing all of it later less valuable because i can now earn less than someone who never earned anything at all. All that nonsense is infuriating, I'm not just inventing a grievance with the system to fuck with people who feel like they got a lot of value out of it.
Menat is fucking amazing, I'll definitely agree on that. Superb character design and character animations, just GOD TIER stuff.
All that needs to be said.
You can disable those in the options at least. It's pretty tacky yeah.
How is it possible to unlock characters with FM? I got SFV at launch and the only thing I've managed to unlock is a pallette or two.
blazing thru the character stories only took about an hour and was so easy they basically gave it to you for free
now it takes a little longer but yeah it was way easier at launch when the roster was half the size and it gave you so much more FM
He actually brought up a good point about the art style of SFV. Obviously it's different, but it (for god-knows-what-reason) doesn't look that way to the average Joe. And as stupid as that sounds, we can see the Giant Bomb podcast to see how the casual audience views SFV compared to SFIV visually. I've echoed this as a possible justification Capcom may use to do something radically different with SFVI with regards to its art style.
