Plot twist: Abigail hates King Diamond, and is on a mission to destroy every Abigail album in existence.
The car company is only a front for him to accumulate enough funds to get started.

His damage output is crazy. Akuma obviously has low health, but this guy seems to eat through it real fast.

He is going to be so much fun to play with. I could see some potentials in him but would he be that good?
Fucking huge.

Damn, look at the damage and stun from the combo at 1:21! Insane.
Also I finally heard the "White Power" thing at 1:04 lol.

Nah I think SFV has better stages, they just aren't cluttered and messy like most of the SFIV's stages. Sometimes simplicity with great detail goes a long way.

I understand people preferring SFIV for a lot of things but stages? No way
SFV is by no means top tier stage design but it's got some really nice stuff.
I like the drive-in stage in IV but that's about it

Since they like to revive Street Fighter 2 stages so they should do same thing for Alpha, 3 and 4.
They really need to bring this stage back.
The safari and construction stages are as good as or better than most SFV stages. There are several other nice ones too.
Well you know what I think they purposefully set out to create the most obnoxious character in the game.

Well, in the gameplay video at least he appears with his original colors and still looks ugly but not that horrible. Awful character design, the worst one since Fang and Rufus.
His theme doesn't fit with Street Fighter. I think they must stop adding vocals to gameplay themes, they ruin the experience. And in this case, the vocals and crazy drums solo doesn't fit with the style of the game, feels like a random them totally unrelated to Street Fighter.

Same here. Well, I liked maybe 3 pr 4.

ABIGAIL I KNOW YOU'RE IN CONTROL OF HER BRAIN, ABIGAIL!
AAAAAAAAAAAOHAAAAA!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAOHAAAAA!!!
Yeah SFV has been buggy about loading high quality texture assets in the scenery since launch, not sure what's the reason for it or why hasn't it been fixed. Happens on PC too. I think it's most obvious in the China stage's signs. Seems random.

Abigail's tire-armed future was right under our noses this entire time. Wake up, sheeple!
Omoshiroi...
Plus he's so (intentionally) ugly and weird, that barely anyone will use him.
He'll be so rare that he'll never get old, like Hugo and Hakan.

Yo the drive-in stage gets cooler to me every time I see it. I love the whole "neon lights against a nighttime sky" aesthetic. One of the reasons I can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077.
I was gonna say I like Crumbling Lab, but that's only because of the sick ass Round 2 theme Seth has. Outside of SFIII and SF1, this series has really solid final boss themes.

It cheapened SFIV. That's just not a respectful way to treat your game, it spoke volumes about Capcom and where they were at and what they were capable of going forward. I'm surprised SFV turned out as well as it did.
Tossing Gief like that, yo damn

This guy looks like trash I'm so into it
What does that mean? What are you even saying, companies re use assets all the time, capcom is the king of it. One of their most famous fighting games, Marvel vs capcom 2 is a basically mugen. Asset reuse saves money and provides extra content, how is that " not a respectful way"... like what?
What in the world are you even talking about?

It's funny, because I love the idea of this stage. It's a quiet, isolated place with the kids/family/whatever cheering on from the background. Would probably look better as classic sprite artIV had a few gems like the African savannah, but most of the stages bored me to tears.
But as it stands it's the worst in the game and what I think of when I say IV had bad stages. It's just ugly and boring
Good call on construction stage, I liked that one too

Versus games were not basically mugen, and I don't see what was confusing about my post. Sorry.
Yea and some stages they have that 30 fps movement going on, it's jarring. With the dlc stages it seems they're trying to minimize the background characters which is great.

These combos look satisfying. Will give him a go for sure using his battle costume.
Reusing assets with good direction is fine, like bringing Elena, Rolento, Hugo, and Poison over from SFxTK. Porting the gaudy stages over was completely unnecessary. It randomly introduced dinosaurs into Street Fighter canon without explanation, and it turned the Mad Gear Gang into slapstick. Seeing crime lord Belger beat on drums in a mainline Street Fighter game hurts my soul.
The stage with the Neon RVs might be the worst stage in history

SFV stages are miles ahead of IV, I actually feel this is borderline un-debatable alongside comparing the soundtracks.
I'll always have a chuckle at the so called exciting street scene being rather unexciting at least.

My biggest one as well. Also the goofy background characters look out of place in certain stages like the 4 kings stage, I mean you have what is essentially the boss stage and you have dudes having lightsaber battles in the background.
Why can't they do these for reveals in MVCI? It was a good overview, and did a ncie job of stealth addressing some of our obvious burning questions (Like how he compares in size to 'gief, where the fun is in his gameplay design, and how he's suppose to function in general.)
Since they like to revive Street Fighter 2 stages so they should do same thing for Alpha, 3 and 4.
They really need to bring this stage back.
They should do this once they have characters it makes sense with. This stage become THE place I went once it was introduced, so I'd love to see it again. But I'd also love to see Elena (or a new character, even) to go along with it. I can appreciate that she got double duty in SFxT and SFIV, though, and that people grew to hate her healing stuff (not exactly her fault!), so I can see why she'd be taking a break...
Menat better have an awesome stage...

This shoulda been his theme (just switch a screeching tire for the intro).]
As a Gief player this matchup legitimately scares me.
::edit::
Preach on brotha
With so many DLC stages, it skews the comparison now. However, if you're just talking about the default stages, I'd take SFIV's default stages over V's just because they don't have the ugly filter and 30 fps characters all over them.
Not yet.
Yeah, mega curious to see how they look.
Vega's backthrow is him jumping on top of you, grabbing your head with his legs, and throwing you over. CAN'T WAIT to see what that is like. Vega's head will be off the top of the screen...

That tiny throw damage lol

What a bizarre... pointless idea...
Both SFIV and SFV have DLC stages. There's no use in pretending that only the original releases existed and that's what you should compare. This is what we call "grasping at straws" and you must be reaaaaaaaallllly thirsty.
oh cool I didn't see that. That's a pretty safe example of a throw though. What will the SPD look like?
