Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition - Falke Reveal Trailer
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date
Wow those animations are bland af, i like her low sniper shot but everything else screams "meh" to me.
Rather interesting how she not only uses her staff like a firearm, but also the idea that she shares similar moveset to Ed in terms of input commands. It will be neat to see if she will get her time to shine at higher levels of play, but for now, she seems ok.
Of course, all eyes are now set on a certain someone who will likely get revealed in the coming month or so.

After seeing how slow she is I've lost some interest in this girl. Her playstyle of having to hold a button down while playing seems like will be annoying on a pad too.
Falke seems like a Kolin-tier reveal.
Everyone getting on the bland wagon.
I think maybe the concept behind her upright, stiff movements was for her to be like a stereotypical stiff German. Which would be cool really.
But if they are going for that they should have gone all in with it. Like her winning animation should not have her spinning around like they do with basically all the female characters. She should have stood even more upright and slammed her staff straight down into the ground. That would have made the connection to bison stronger too.

She's full defensive character, kinda like Guile now on Season 3.5, that's why they whiffed what would be some rushdown tools of her and dash ins.
NRS characters are still punching over an invisible box though. To compare Falk to purposefully terrible animation is a bit silly.
I'm watching the reveal stream and her gameplay looks fun and interesting. Even more considering she has casual friendly inputs like Ed, which is going to make her more appealing to a broader amount of players (from the 99.99% of them, who don't read Resetera and aren't pro-players).
Battle costume looks very cool and her main costume in white too.

She's missing that extra touch like how Rolento's staff flexing during some moves sold the illusion of him really swinging the hell out of it. For all its faults SFIV (technically SFxT) got that right.
Falke's overhead swing would look a bit better if the tip of the staff actually hit the ground and she used the force of the rebound to bring it back up.

If that gif above is anything to go by, she absolutely has the animation flourishes that characters like Abigail, Zeku, and Menat have. In fact, people said Abigail had bad animations when he was first revealed as well, and look how that turned out. Wouldn't be surprised if people backpedaled on this one as well.
Totally the same.
Ummmm yes it is. Go ahead and photoshop a fence in front of her the same thing applies.
I personally can't believe that's so much talk about animation on a fighting game character. It's not something I've paid too much attention to. Falke looks fine to me.
I'm interested in playing after watching the stream earlier today. Admittedly she looks kinda weak but she has some interesting zoning tools. I want to mess around with a character like that.

I totally can. Every fighting game seems to be nitpicked to a ridiculous degree where places where it lacks, even if others are great, somehow makes it hideous or meme worthy.
They set a pretty high bar with some of their character animation, and not every one is going to knock it out of the park. It's fine by most fighting game standards, just not as dynamic as most seemed to be expecting. I think the criticism is warranted, and it's not egregiously bad or anything, just a little lackluster.
Her center of gravity is shifted properly and Scorpion's isn't. Her animation here is nothing special but Scorpion looks full on ridiculous. Stop trying to equate the two.
I never did equate the overall quality of the animation. I'm just responding to the original guy who claimed she isn't attacking over an invisible box in front of her. The only thing I equated was the lines of reasoning the current people here defending her animations and the NRS apologists defending the animations in Injustice.
That training(story) outfit is top tier no wonder they showed it in the trailer when they normally always show the default.
The animation still looks pretty awkward though, I blame her standing pose tbh, for that attack she has to awkwardly take her hand off her hip and use it super fast and both of her legs barely move which doesn't seem right if you're smashing down with a club like that. Also her heels look dumb.
Looks like Lilly Kane is all grown up now.
But yeah, there is a lot of overlap between Falke and Billy (especially in the attack animations).
After seeing her design in the reveal trailer I was curious about her but what they did with her gameplay is... yeah, bland is a great way to put it.

There's plenty wrong with that animation. It's like they cut out a lot anticipation frames from it among other things
The video starts with his jump kick special where he springs off into the air, which is the start up animation for Falke's CA.
Then there is also his very obvious fwd+B kick command normal where he vaults forward using the stick, which she also has (don't know if it's just a normal for her or a command normal).
Her fireballs must be charged.
I guess. Both of those look kinda different to me. That second one is a special move btw (KK).
Honestly not sure how her vault kick at 0:23 in her trailer and Billy's vault kick at 1:25 in the video you posted aren't the exact same thing.
Watching the Abagail fights. Yeah She can fight him off pretty good.
I don't think that move looks bad. But the follow up flip? bleh
