As much as it sucks, I imagine they take a lot of work to make, especially as FGs increase their visual fidelity. And we can clearly see that when they do come out, a *lot* of work went into them.

I think the work to produce a character costume is like 10x more than what it took for SFV costumes and Unreal 4. There's obviously way higher fidelity but also a ton of custom deformations that's not just given to the physics engine to automatically deal with. In SFV, they just let Unreal 4 deal with all the cloth animations and you got terrible clipping and wonky cloth behavior everywhere.
Yup. It's why most of the costume mods are trash too. Most of them are a mess of clipping elements that ruin the look of the silhouette. There are a handful that are alright, but most of them are just sloppy.
Costumes are gonna take more time and likely more money going forward.
Non degenerate got buff, degenerate got minor nerf
I fall into the latter camp
She's top
It's actually new school. There's a video showing how they aligned AKIs individual eyebrow hairs and how the entire process takes 6 months, how they have to model the cloth physics to ensure there isn't a lot of clipping, etc.
Yeah, it's rotten. I guess I'm happy they even offer bundles but it sucks. You know it's rotten when Fortnite does it better. Whenever you buy a individual skin or something that's also in a bundle, whenever the bundle is available the cost of the individual skin you own is subtracted from the cost of the bundle. Trade-off there is the way the Fortnite rotates in and out content from its store on a daily basis which is shitty for its own reasons.
Yeah, as a long time SF fan I still dont really associate these games with having a lot of cosmetics in the base game. Before SF4, alternate costumes were anomolies (Chun in the Alpha games is the only one that immediately comes to mind) and even with vanilla SF4, I don't recall the base game coming with a bunch of costumes, did it? Its been forever since I've played vanilla SF4.
Oh that's rad. I'm glad they made the character themes replaceable. Most of the music in this game is great but the character themes are kind of hit or miss. Shit. Now I'm actually bummed about all of the Fighter passes I skipped. Fuck. Those actually have stuff I want now! lol

I meant more old school vs the modern trends of slapping as many cosmetics as possible into a game.
All the music from the Passes are also located in the bundles.
Your not permanently missing any music (to the best of my knowledge)
Oh really? Including stuff like the Monster Hunter music? That would be great. I've not had a chance to look at that stuff yet.
OP
OP
I don't think they ever actually gave us the MH music.
I actually dont think monster hunter got Music. (I skipped that pass)
From the trailer it seems the MH pass gave out Street Fighter 3 music
Oh interesting. I know when they were doing that Monster Hunter pass they put some MH music in the game including the battle hub. I just assumed it worked like the TMNT thing in that you got that music from that pass. weird.
Why do Akuma's World Tour cutscenes sound like they're narrated by David Attenborough doing a nature documentary?
Hello, just completed befriending and mastering for Akuma and the in-game indicator seems to show that I've gone through all the dialogue with him.
However, when I looked in the Cutscene gallery for World Tour, in the comics section there seems to be something locked. The other three comic cutscenes were for missions involving AKI and Rashid, but I got no cutscene like that for Akuma's mission, just told me to beat 30 randoms and fight him using other people's styles.
Have I missed something?

Deejay players tried their best to downplay him but Nakayama was onto their shit
Watching Broski going through AKI's patch notes.
Damn, she got buffed into the high heavens.
Really hope we'll see her more often in tournaments now.

There is a quest at Metro City during Night time.
OP
OP
I think my World Tour progress is stuck, it's telling me to find Retsu in Metro City but he's not showing up anywhere on the map.
You'd have to lab it to be sure, but I dunno if the ST.HP combos into the ST.HK on punish counter. I know it works on drive rush. I usually do a ST.MP, but keep it single to try and minimize the scaling.
which mission? If you meant new one? You find him at Ryu's location.
He was with Ryu when I found him..I am assuming you mean the Akuma stuff ?
OP
OP
Yes, the Akuma mission. But when I went to Genbu Temple, Retsu wasn't there.
Did you finish all side quests with Retsu yet? I presume that it might be a requirement?
If you did, did you already got all three datachips and turn it in?
Crouch fierce does more damage IF you are in range but it reaches further than you may expect
OP
OP
Not sure about all of the Retsu side missions, but I did the data chips.
Awesome thank you
It works on both punish counter and regular counter. Crazy lol.
OP
OP
ground game is slightly better and we were already excellent there, her anti fireball isn't as free you don't got all day to react to fireballs, divekick off pressure strings is easier to stuff, but divekick for approach is harder to deal with.
Target combo adds some decent options, tho not more optimal than other stuff we were doing. Still gets blown up on block by jabs, which fair.
Any time I dip into the Marisa well, I'm reminded of my super/ultra bronze gating issue in SFV.
I am horrible at opening up defensive players.
I spend so much time as Marisa pummeling guards that my silver game plan feels like "burnout by pure attrition"
With Manon I got the grab, with AKI a big bag of tricks and options, but Marisa has me revealed for the mediocre player I am lol
Immediately after this I switched back to Manon and fought a Marisa who then initially gimmicked me with drive impact spam, thankfully he gave me the download runback
....just sitting here thinking how most of this thread is like "what is this drive impact spam you speak of?" lol, I'm in the place where you never see drive rush
Same game, different worlds

Cammy wasn't reacting to no guile boom with heavy knuckle, and heavy knuckle is drive impactable on reaction, if not they can check it.
It is a reaction check tho yeah, sure. And it still has good value against the shotos, but it's not as free there. Ex knuckle feels kind of gimmicky now.
As Marisa you need to prioritize checking defensive players walking in and out of your pressure. All you need is one stray clip on a (let's say Chun) player trying to stay in and out of your range and you can get the party started.
Focus on cornering them and switching up strikes and throws (particularly Marisa's command grab) and sooner or later the defensive player is going to get scared and subsequently sloppy - i.e. your window of opportunity.
Against super defensive players as Marisa, I figure that's what scutum is for. Scutum is such a good tool. If they're standing blocking, go for the kick version to knock them down. If they're crouching and blocking, apply pressure with the punch version. And if they're close enough, the grab version does so much damage.
All good advice!
I'm still getting used to being able to get something reliably off of stray hits in neutral, my brain and fingers gotta get quicker on the reactions
I love me some scutum because that grab might be my fave animation in the game, just gotta get better at using it.
Still disappointed that the projectile invulnerability in Manon's Renverse seems to be untouched. Shit needs fixing along with the feint. I'm not really too keen to rely much on b.MK but fuck it, ill git gud with it. At least we got her LP and LK's fixed and that b.HP becomes even more god-like for her.
Also got to acknowledge the super 3 damage buff. Very much welcome.

The light confirm nerf is pretty major, eh?
This is good stuff. Being able to get 3-4k off of a random stray punch was a little too much.

It's almost been a full year and I really want to know who has been peddling the neutral jump agenda. I swear every rando I fight ranked or causal neutral jumps ALL the time. Their wake up. My wake up. Mid screen. Even when it's their turn in the middle of their own pressure regardless of the character I'm using. lol
