Urien's 3S stage is mad boring. Give us his 2nd Impact stage, tho:

That's ... super visuaaly uninteresting and very loud

This is way more interesting that orange and red nothing

They're both boring. These belong in some kid's fish aquarium.

Give me a crowed filled KoF style stage or cool grass field storm any day over this.

 

[Turbanator]

I said CvS.

I thought you meant as a series. I never played the first so idk.

You're weird, even by my standards.

 

[lucebuce12]

So when I say you're weird, you stand up and take fucking notice.

It's like Gordon Ramsay saying you're too demeaning.

Which one? I guess this one?

There's a transphobic visual gag in this stage btw

Put a camel caravan through them Egyptian ruins and make it a different time of day in each round and Urien's 2I stage remake is top tier.

I never knew, where?

Edited: just saw it. I never knew...

Edited: I'm really sorry and I didn't meath to offend anyone here.

2I/NG had some really cool stages, especially the ones with exaggerated perspectives.

 

[lucebuce12]

I really love this one.

 

[Marvel]

Yip you just listed some of my faves ^

Gill's stage was great too.

 

[Turbanator]

If you removed the perspective thing, 2I's stages would probably be my fav in any fighter.

 

[JusDoIt]

The Mega Man with the uzi graffiti mural is the most street Street Fighter ever got.

 

[Onemic]

I wish the 2I stages were in 3S. 3S stages are shit in comparison

 

[Shadoken]

I hope this one comes as Kens nostalgia stage. Much better than the SF2 stage , Way more detail and I love the theme as well.

Honestly, the SFV stages would look just as good as those if they removed the NPCs and some of the weird filters they're using. That India stage mod proved that.

I dunno why they never offered them as DLC in 3S Online.

And fixed the horribly low-res textures, among other things. The NPCs are fine to me though. They make it lively. A lot of the stages would look dead without them. Maybe they could alter the color scheme and time of day for the rumored Super edition.

Definitely betrer than 3S.

 

[Village]

Put the new york roof top in

That's the best stage.

 

[mbpm1]

Those are some nice ass stages

Laura's theme is perfect.

Trash theme fitting for a trash character.

you're probably right

I'm perfectly fine with that stage as Ken's stage for SFV since some characters are starting to get their own stages now. I figured that New York City belongs to Alex tho.

SF really took a nosedive in stages with SF4

If they moved the 30 fps NPCs further into the background and limited their movement they would blend right in. Xrd has some NPCs with stiff movement but since they're not losing their minds in response to every attack they don't stand out as much.

But Psyche Out, bro

 

[IntelliHeath]

Just curious? Since we didn't have South Korea stage so what do we want to see from South Korea?

1. SSF4 stage

2. Completely brand new stage

You don't remix a track like this. You just bring it back.

Consistency is really all over the place across the series. SF2 is a mixed bag, A2 has pretty good stuff, A3 is boring, 2I is great, 3S is alright, SFIV is mixed, and SFV is overall great.

We should just be glad we didn't get an SF during the dark ages and get stuck with shitty stages and themes like CvS2, MvC2, and CFJ.

I'd prefer some sort of Seoul nightlife stage that better reflects Juri's personality and the modernization of the country -- maybe some motorcycles parked outside of a club or something.

SF2 ain't no mixed bag...

Unless you talking about the CPS2 changes, then you right.

They need to bring that shit back

if Arika can do it, Capcom can too

C(ry)-Tier Laura vs DU.

Are Ed's hands (flicker or whatever its called) easy to piano on stick? Thinking to buy a stick so I can play Ed to his fullest, just can't do it on pad at all. Won't even need to transition from pad to stick since his specials are non-motion.

Yes. Much easier. Pianoing on stick can still make Psycho Uppers come out if you aren't extra crisp, tho.

Instead of pianoing I just slide my fingers back and forth across the punch buttons. It looks scrubby, but it's like shooting freethrows granny-style. Automatic. Psycho Flicker always comes out, never the Psycho Upper. You would be able to use the same "technique" on a Hori Fighting Commander or MCZ Fightpad.

 

[Dark_3nergy]

Looovee all the sprite art stages. My god some of that secondary animation and suddle animation in those pieces is spectacular!

 

[Blueblur1]

Japan Cup just started. They had an updated intro.

Jiyuna and Majin Obama on commentary.

[Lulubop]

OH SHIT JAPAN CUP

MajorBoy got the cleanest Ed I've seen.

 

[MrCarter]

Too many SFV tournies.

 

[galvatron]

Just made Silver, got matched with nothing but silvers and ranked down, then beat a couple and got back to Silver again.

That's the highest rank I've managed and only took actually liking Abigail to keep me grinding.

Guess I'll relax now and watch other people play for a bit

Crosspost from FGC thread

I still find it kinda funny that the only major thing really separating SFV and Overwatch (other than genre, ofc) is communication. The OW team has some of the best two-way communication in the industry, while SFV's has among the worst. Otherwise, they are both eerily similar. Colorful cast of charismatic characters (say that 5x fast), both launched barebones but have regular content updates, similar business model (gameplay is mostly free, aesthetics cost money), etc.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Man how do you get better at confirming shit? Maybe practicing against CPU isn't really gonna help? I feel like there's no way to tell if something is gonna hit or not.

 

[mbpm1]

SFV's characters are not charismatic like Overwatch I would say.

Although SFV actually has a story while Blizzard sits on its great cast and makes tiny shorts of them.

Although SFV wishes it had something as addictive as lootboxes in terms of the grind. And SFV seems to update slower than OW although I could be mistaken, and doesn't have events or timed costumes nearly as fun as Lucioball. Olympic costumes, or the Halloween thing it did.

On an unrelated note
