SFV - Abigail Reveal Trailer

I have yet to purchase the Season 2 pack because I just haven't been excited for the characters so far. Kolin & Ed seem pretty decent, but I've only picked up Akuma so far. And I have no desire to play as Abigail. I hope the rumors are true for Sagat & Sakura.

This is a good example of a HUGE character done well.


(Aganos)

Literally trash thrown together, I mean I like Killer Instinct...but Aganos is like looking at Micheal Bay transformers and I dont like it.

Also, Abigail isnt the only Cannon Canadian in SF, they've also got this chick called "Maple Storm"

latest


She's part of R Mikas Wrestling league.

Well, it is a broken war golem patched together (and you also have his "good shape" skin...).

I was obviously referring to its implementation in terms of gameplay.

I dont see how that's "obvious" if you just post a picture of a character, without any explanation of his gameplay.

Do you mean a compilation with all season characters? I guess we get these every year.
A new version called Super? That won't happen.

The rumor is that "Super" would be the name of a big update and would be free to everyone. If such a thing happens, it probably wouldn't be until Season 2 is over.

I hope the rumors are true for Sagat & Sakura.

For season 2? Nope.

So were all the Super SFV rumors debunked? I thought that was a thing we were getting....

Nothing is debunked yet but, I'm starting to think I better quickly stop getting my hopes up. In theory, season 3/super would drop in December, right? So, that gives capcom 4 months to get all of this ready.

-New select screen?
-Other UI upgrades like different meter artwork?
-Season 3 balance changes
-Super addition engine changes like new v triggers
- Maybe 2-4 characters to make it a "jump" from season 2. As in, start Super off with more than 1 character at the start of the season like they did with Akuma last year.

I mean, unless Super is just Super in name only and really just the same as the Season 2 slow trickle, how are they going to add enough shit to make it seem like a new version with so little time left? Who thinks they can pull it off?

And yes, I know, they've been working on it almost all year, but everyone knows they've been stretched then with MVCi and CFN 2.0.

You got any insider info? Because the leaker never mentioned EVO, in fact he mentioned Capcom Cup.
Insider info for what?

There won't be a Super release... what the leaker said is a compilation of the season characters in a new retail release.

It is only additional content for SFV... not a new release.

Yeap... that is indeed a compilation with season characters plus updates to a retail release... it is not a new Super version even if they call it a Super update.
 
Yeah, no thanks

It's really not that bad in-game, you never have any issues with spacing or anything.

RAAM is actually a better example since Aganos actually manipulates the stage with his walls while RAAM is just big. Gargos is also massive but that fucker flies around so fuck him.

It is a Super version, it just isn't standalone and is added as a free update instead.

Err, why not?

They need to relaunch at this point and with the added single player content, UI overhaul (hopefully), sounds like a good time to do just that.

Free for existing users, added bonus for new users.
 
King Diamond is heavy metal my man.
I had no idea.

Quick question, when you say heavy metal, what sort of era/style do you mean? Are they like Black Sabbath 70s heavy metal, something closer to 80s Metallica or Megadeth, or what?

In case you couldn't tell with the differences in model quality between SFV and MvC, it's pretty clear there's nearly no dev overlap between the two games.

But it's very likely we're actually getting Super announced at the end of the year. Things like CFN came up first because those are kinda priorities to the UX that can't wait for a massive update. Other things like new mechanics have probably been sitting on some private server while they build other shit.

Yo Abigail's design is fucking gross. And I like Birdie's design

Gief, Birdie, Hugo the big guys have "stylized" proportions that make sense in the SF world.
But Abigail doesnt, he looks like a character from another game.

But i respect Capcom for tryin' something new.

He looks like someone broke the character design adjustment sliders for height and strength, and forgot to adjust head size and legs to even out the proportions.

Absolutely disgusting awful design.

Capcom knocked it out of the park in my opinion yesterday showing off Gamora and Jedah in MvC:I... I went from being on the fence for that game, to leaning to buy...

And then all the good will Capcom earned with those reveals went right in the garbage can with the Abigail reveal.

I mean, if you're going to put a Final Fight character in SFV, make it one people actually want!
Here are some options Capcom:
Cody
Guy
Hagar
Sodom
Poison
Hugo


I mean how hard are you actively trying to avoid making money off me Mr. Ono?

Closer to Metallica than Black Sabbath, but more complex and less in-your-face than classic 80s thrash.
