Yeah there's no way the gem system can be mandatory.

 

[CountAntonius]

OP updated with new info and videos.

 

[Moaradin]

I was real hype for this but those gems are killing it. Hopefully they reconsider.

 

[KAL2006]

Gems - "WTF is this shit"

Exclusive Gems for preorders - "Oh shit, no way lol"

 

[vg260]

I was real hype for this but those gems are killing it. Hopefully they reconsider.

Yeah. I just started to get really exited for this up to Pandora and the gem nonsense.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

Yeah this gem system sounds like pandering to the casual crowd.

Want to beat Daigo? Here you go!

 

[Kung Fu Grip]

Played this at comiccon. I actually prefer this calmer style to MvsC 3. Though UMvsC3 is a beast in of itself.

 

[QisTopTier]

Wow capcom is finally making the best fighting game they ever had since cvs2! Accessible gameplay but with technical things! Fun combo system! Characters never in a 2d fighter before being fleshed out to work and no shitty gimmick! I'm so hype!

suddenly gems...

FUCK YOU!

 

[Slamtastic]

3 characters who I want all of them in the game, but only one will.

On top of that, all the Gem and Pandora nonsense, I'm out.

You had me for a little while there Ono, but I'm done.

 

[Corky]

Gems?

:I

 

[CountAntonius]

I really really hate this gem bullshit. Pandora I could stomach but this is just...

as long as there is a ranked option free of this nonsense I'll be fine with it.

 

[thetrin]

Gem system could be terrible or kinda not terrible. I will reserve judgment.

 

[corporate cheerleader]

This is just outrageous. I mean, how do you earn those gems in-game?

 

[SolarKnight]

Yeah there's no way the gem system can be mandatory.

God I hope so, but the lack of any mention of it being that way along with it being in the system trailer rather than being presented as an extra mode worries me. I really hope at the very least there's an option online for gemless battles.

I didn't mind Pandora much, then I stopped caring about it after seeing that it SUCKS badly so far, but this? Ugh, it's killing what little hype I had.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Exclusive preorder gems? ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh. Way to ruin a great game. If the gem system can't be disabled, this game is DOA.

No, it's SFxT

Haha wow, there is a whole heckuva lot going on in this game.

 

[Slamtastic]

This is just outrageous.

 

[corporate cheerleader]

It's really late here, tripping like hell. x_x

 

[Kerrby]

Quick, someone explain gems to me. I want this game for Vita but I don't know what gems are and why people are booing it.

Also isn't that around the time UMvC3 is coming out?

Both are coming out for Vita, I don't know which one to get D:

 

[Raging Spaniard]

On second thought, if they pull it off and its fun then whatever, its fine.

What bothers me is that all this features are getting confusing, Ive been playing fighting games all my life and the amount of shit Im gonna need to keep track of in a fight is starting to seem unreasonable

 

[devastatorprime]

So who all do we see in the teasers?

Teaser 1, Mokujin, Lars, Jinpachi?

If I'm not mistaken in teaser 2 I'm seeing Devil Jin, Paul and Q???

Teaser 3 I see Xiaoyu, Zafina and Alisa.

 

[QisTopTier]

Never mind, this isn't that bad. Auto block isn't a true auto block It probably works like how the one in tekken does. Auto throw break wont break throws on counter throws cause you cant. So yeah pretty much wasted gem slots. In the long run this will end up just like picking assist in mvc3. No biggie.

 

[Slamtastic]

If I'm not mistaken in teaser 2 I'm seeing Devil Jin, Paul and Q???

Dragunov

 

[SentientStone]

If that special edition had a Steelbook included like Marvel vs. Capcom 3 I'd be all over it. As it stands it is still a maybe... who am I kidding, I'll probably get it. :/

 

[Terareflection]

O_O

...shit.

 

[Aeris130]

Why hate on gems? Sounds fun like hell.

 

[CountAntonius]

Ono:

Wants to make fighting games more accessible



Throws in every damn mechanic he can possibly think of


SFxT really just feels like Ono's Frankenstein. Every risk taken, every damn thing he can possibly think of being thrown in. At the very least it's ballsy and a true test of what will work in the future for fighting games and what won't. Better to do it on this than SFV. I'm just confused at this point. So many things to like(great cast/online tag and training mode) and some things that just baffle me at this point(gems/pandora) we'll see how this all works out.

 

[Slamtastic]

O_O

...shit.

Don't get hopes up/down. Xiaoyu is shown as an actual SFxT game screenshot, Zafina and Alisa are bits of their T6/TTT2 (not sure) renders.

Obvious red herrings.

 

[Terareflection]

Why hate on gems? Sounds fun like hell.

Competition. Generally you want the best players to win a game. Comeback mechanics and RPG-lite systems like gems ruin that.

 

[corporate cheerleader]

There are definitely a lot of systems, that's for sure.

 

[notworksafe]

I wonder...maybe there are also cosmetic only gems, like with minor WoW glyphs?

Like orange fireballs, different color for hair, maybe something like that. Just because some are silly extra powers, they don't all have to be.

Either way I'm hoping you can turn them off or just equip cosmetic ones.

 

[Brazil]

This looks pretty good... But, yeah, not buying until the revision.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Nice to see a PC release but the bad news is that they will most likely use gfwl. Capcom never learns...

 

[Skilletor]

Never mind, this isn't that bad. Auto block isn't a true auto block It probably works like how the one in tekken does. Auto throw break wont break throws on counter throws cause you cant. So yeah pretty much wasted gem slots. In the long run this will end up just like picking assist in mvc3. No biggie.

lol. There are plenty of times when I've been thrown because I wasn't expecting it or couldn't react in time. That's not a good example at all.

This game sounds like stupid.

 

[Terareflection]

There are definitely a lot of systems, that's for sure.

It like they know that the game isn't very good on it own...

 

[Aeris130]

Competition. Generally you want the best players to win a game. Comeback mechanics and RPG-lite systems like gems ruin that.

Gems activate off of predictable conditions, so it's not rng like smashbros tripping. And anyone can gem up the way they like. What about them puts pro players at a disadvantage?

 

[ArjanN]

Yeah this gem system sounds like pandering to the casual crowd.

Want to beat Daigo? Here you go!

How do gems help you beat Daigo if he can use them too?

 

[kuYuri]

Will wait for Super Street Fighter x Tekken in March 2012. *trollface*

EDIT: Beaten, but I don't care.

This would have been perfect. Exactly what I was hoping for when they had announced the system. Fun, goofy and most importantly easily ignored(from a gameplay standpoint).

 

[AAK]

Teaser 1:

Mokujin, Lars, Marshall Law

Teaser 2:

Devil Jin, Paul, Dragunov

Teaser 3:

Ling, Zafina, Alisa

 

[KAL2006]

so majority people are saying Paul, Law and Xiaoyu are the teased characters and Devil Jin, Zafina, Alisa, Lars and Mokujin were all just red herrings.

I'm happy with those 3 choices, though I would have liked Alisa in this game. Now all they need to do is announce Christie and Jack and I'd be happy with the Tekken cast.

 

[corporate cheerleader]

It like they know that the game isn't very good on it own...

It definitely looked like a solid fighter before and like Count said, Ono wanted to make it accessible as well for Tekken players when he was talking about the 6-button config. People were skeptical about Pandora and now there are people booing at the gem system (if the impression is true.) It really took a turn for the strange, but it's a good thing for the tourney guys that gems aren't required and that you can turn them off.

I'd still like to play this game, but I'm really curious on how you obtain all of the gems.

 

[Slamtastic]

How do you know of only one?

They said with the previous teasers for the SF side that out of the 3 characters in each teaser, only 1 was actually in the game.

One character out of the teasers is shown in SFxT, the others are shown in SF4/as renders from T6.

 

[Kung Fu Grip]

Yeah this gem system sounds like pandering to the casual crowd.

Want to beat Daigo? Here you go!

The future of game development. Get use to it.

[QisTopTier]

) but it's a good thing for the tourney guys that gems aren't required and that you can turn them off.

How? Like honestly think for a second how this could hurt the tourney scene for the game. Then explain it to me. I could list quite a few examples of how this shit will actually make the game more exciting
