Yeah SFIV has one of the most boring starting rosters imo; it made it really hard for me to pick a main on launch because none of the characters really excited me.I'm no more in favor of SFVI being a repeat of SFIV in being mostly the World Warriors and a scant few new characters, either.
Honestly, that's what happens when one is born a billionaire and the other is working-class having to do shitty part-time jobs to sustain one's family.Sakura (who feels like she grew up less than Karin in SFV despite being the same age)

SF5, keeping it a little too real.
lol fair, I just meant it more in the sense that Sakura feels like the same character in a different outfit whereas Karin's model definitely looks a lot older than her high school self.Honestly, that's what happens when one is born a billionaire and the other is working-class having to do shitty part-time jobs to sustain one's family.

Ah, shit. I was too proud of my analogy to think about it for a second before posting.
Nah, SF4 was already basically that. It launched in arcades with the original SF2 roster (plus four new characters). We don't need another soft reboot.
I couldn't agree more.tbh, I don't give a shit about story lines in fighting games. Just put whatever characters they want in for whatever dumb story reason, lol. This is for any fighting game franchise. I want cool designs with fun move sets.
Still a college student in a dead end job and stuck living at home in Sakura's case, though.Ah, shit. I was too proud of my analogy to think about it for a second before posting.

Y'know what would be cool though? If SF6 had mostly the same roster as SF5, but time-shifted ten years into the future. I adore it when characters are able to be affected by the flow of time; it's a huge part of why SFV's redesigns really jive with me and I'd like to see it get taken even FURTHER. Would be awesome to see more experienced, mature takes on characters like Sakura (who feels like she grew up less than Karin in SFV despite being the same age), R. Mika, Rashid, Menat, et al.
Combofiend already said that they design their games around criticism the last title received. How about instead of blaming Woshige, you blame Capcom as a whole for listening to stream monkeys calling SF4 Sleep Fighter 4.
Woshige probably just followed a general guideline to prioritize rushdown and explosive moments.
i really don't mind if they rehash most of SFV for they next game as i like the look. However, if that baggage comes with the old netcode and old balance then gtfo. I think next gen will keep SFV alive for a while longer. They want another shot at milking.
lol fair, I just meant it more in the sense that Sakura feels like the same character in a different outfit whereas Karin's model definitely looks a lot older than her high school self.
I know women aren't really allowed to age in fighting games (see: Soulcalibur V replacing every woman above the age of 35 with a Muppet Baby and vexing franchise mascot Ivy with a nonsensical anti-aging curse) but it'd still be cool to see! Give me middle-aged Chun-Li as a wise old kung-fu master/Interpol chief, give me 30-year-old Mika as the head of her own wrestling federation!
I really enjoy how SFV plays *shrug*
I doubt Woshige is wholly responsible for the game anyway.
My understanding is that the netcode they used in SFV was already upgraded for MvCI and it is already much, much better. So, I imagine we are going to get a much better online experience in the next Street Fighter game. Hopefully a further iteration on MvCI's netcode. Honestly, I wouldn't be too worried about that.
As for balance... What? Are you under the impression that SFV doesn't have good balance? The top tier characters in SFV feel very manageable in comparison to the top tier in most fighting games. Even that trash characters in SFV feel shockingly usable (if not tournament viable).
Definetly one of the best in the series. The three best SF games are this, SF3 and SF Alpha 3 PSP.I really enjoy how SFV plays *shrug*

Poison looks tight

WAIT FUCK DOES HONDA HAVE A FULLY ANIMATED EDITED FACE? HOLY SHIT. They could make the not costume versions of all the animal outfits from last time. Time to play actual fox cammy
200% G L A DToday is Yun & Yang's birthday.
On a scale of 1 to 5, how mad are you going to be next season when they come back and you see Yun do this with 2 bars?
Nerdy lore question but is Alex considered the "chosen one/messiah figure" of the street fighter universe?
He was intended to have a big role in SFIII and be the hero who took on the Illuminati, but that was kinda abandoned by 3rd Strike.
He's kinda like Necalli. Hyped up at first, but never really amounting to anything.
Wouldn't that be the other way around?
It's no less than my 3rd favorite Street Fighter to play. Might even be my second. As much as I loved watching IV at the highest levels, I never enjoyed playing it much. So even if SFV's design was merely a reaction to SFIV criticism, it works for me.
Wow dude I am in the same boat. I didnt like playing SF4 but enjoyed watching high level play. With Sfv its the opposite, I enjoy playing it over watching high level play.
I don't think I said that wrong. He was Gill's "chosen one" in Street Fighter 3, and some New Yorker living in his van (who immediately assumes Dhalsim is going to rob him when he approaches) in Street Fighter 5.
Yeah. I can't remember where I read this but they took design inspiration from Alex to make Gill/Urien iirc. It's why Gill has blond hair and similar facial features to Alex.Nerdy lore question but is Alex considered the "chosen one/messiah figure" of the street fighter universe?
I think they were referring to SFV being set before SFIII chronologically.I don't think I said that wrong. He was Gill's "chosen one" in Street Fighter 3, and some New Yorker living in his van (who immediately assumes Dhalsim is going to rob him when he approaches) in Street Fighter 5.
He does have an incredibly sexist comment in one of his win quotes in SF3 though. So maybe this isn't a new development.
Oh my mistake, I get what they were going for now.I think they were referring to SFV being set before SFIII chronologically.
Alex is an asshole nonetheless, though.
Yeah, I'm surprised it hasn't happened. Remy's dad too.
If Yun and Yang are one character, I'll be happy. If they're two I'll be mad.Today is Yun & Yang's birthday.

But Jean Reno is a nice guy, there'd be no reason for Remy to be that angry.What if Tom, hear me out, got Remy's mom pregnant while stationed in Europe...

Ha, thanks... though it also kinda hurts.grats on your second place finish last weekend.
i know they said november, i also know that capcom knows we love surprises, hype initiated regardless.
