They're definitely not abandoning the game. We already have confirmation that there are more characters after Kage coming out, for example, and they're still doing extra battle stuff. There's likely gonna be a new balance patch sooner than later, and we're gonna still get new costumes and maybe a stage here and there.I don't have faith in SFVI's longevity if SFV gets abandoned before it hits the 3 year mark. I hope they're working on the next game too, but they can't leave SFV up in the air like this and expect everybody to be all in on the next game.
The small hope that I have that I know will be left unfulfilled because this is Street Fighter V, is that all of this season's new characters will drop at once alongside the arcade version of the game, and that's why they've been weird about season passes and stuff. Sagat + G could have been an indication of this. But it's not gonna happen.

This is honestly no different than the people wanting to believe the bogus rumors that Capcom was gonna release two free characters or some shit.The small hope that I have that I know will be left unfulfilled because this is Street Fighter V, is that all of this season's new characters will drop at once alongside the arcade version of the game, and that's why they've been weird about season passes and stuff.

I think "hope" and "believing" are different.This is honestly no different than the people wanting to believe the bogus rumors that Capcom was gonna release two free characters or some shit.
I think you could make a lame play Laura work. There's a guy I fight occasionally in casuals who plays a really good defensive Ken.
That Justin Wong video came at a good time for me, I've been trying to improve my neutral game for the past few weeks. I've made it to Platinum, but the gimmicks that worked in Gold/Platinum are tough to pull off against Super Platinum players and are no-sells to the Diamond+ players I've fought on Battle Lounge.
It's been tough slowing myself down and focusing more on the ground neutral game. My Last-100 win rate dropped by 20%, which probably indicates how much I've been winning due only to my opponents having a weak AA game. Still I think I'm improving. I've noticed I'm getting better at reading when my opponents are getting ready to throw out a limb so I'm not just throwing random pokes out hoping for the best.
That's Handsome Squidward.So over on the Gaming side there is a thread where people are feeding video game character portraits to an Nvidia deep-learning AI program that reconstructs facial features with CGI.
Someone fed the machine Ken's character select portrait. Not even HAL 9000 can fix Ken's face:

It's -4, so still punishable by everyone in the cast unless your spacing is immaculate.

I still use it by virtue of me also using Loincloth Urien. It's still a fantastic costume either way, regardless of the version you use.They wimped out by not going full fundoshi on the backside of Ryu's Jin alt. 😒
It's still amazing though. 💁♂️
All it needed was Yakuza tats and all would have been forgiven.They wimped out by not going full fundoshi on the backside of Ryu's Jin alt. 😒

It's a 9/10, which is phenomenal. Definitely a victory for gay rights. 😎I still use it by virtue of me also using Loincloth Urien. It's still a fantastic costume either way, regardless of the version you use.
Tattoos are a curse. Nevernevernevernevernevernevernever.All it needed was Yakuza tats and all would have been forgiven.
And you definitely deserve that victory.It's a 9/10, which is phenomenal. Definitely a victory for gay rights. 😎
Do I come over to where you live and shit all over your dreams?isn't it funny that yakuza characters will never be guests in a fighting game?
I'd love to play Yakuza, but there's too much shady, borderline homophobic shit.
For whatever its worth, they've removed some content from the recent remasters that was considered transphobic and the localizations really are doing a great job at making the protagonists more accepting people.I'd love to play Yakuza, but there's too much shady, borderline homophobic shit.
I think they're trying to fix it, but I dunno. There's that one side quest where you help a lesbian lady be true to herself, but then there's all that other stereotypical stuff with male NPCs. :/
I don't have any problem with machismo, as long as it's not at the expense of anyone else. I encourage them to keep fighting shirtless (and sans pants) as much as they like. Maybe have Kiryu become a stripper in the next one, and I'll be his manager.For whatever its worth, they've removed some content from the recent remasters that was considered transphobic and the localizations really are doing a great job at making the protagonists more accepting people.
There's still an element of machismo at the centre of the series which I doubt will go away considering the series started out aimed at older japanese men and that target hasn't entirely changed. But they have at least grown a little.
Kiryu's already voiced a yaoi game in Yakuza 2/Kiwami 2. And he was almost a male model in Yakuza 2/Kiwami 2.I don't have any problem with machismo, as long as it's not at the expense of anyone else.
