Fighting Games Weekly | Dec 8-14 | Sony pleads the FiF

Quote, PS4 right? I hope you're upgrading to that. My Gief needs to dance with your Ryu once again. Also, I thought people here would be a lot more hype for SF4 PS4 and PC online players being able to face each other?
Actually that was a misquote unfortunately, PC players can't play PS4 players for USF4. It's just for SF5 that they can... But I'll no doubt get USF4 for PS4 when I get one in hopes that PS3 lag is nonexistent, than we can dance.

Saddest thing since Magneto vs Hagger:

I guess this shows that the game has decent character variety; maybe I'll play it someday...

you really want air blocking, CC's and alpha counters??? man for me any one of those three with the possible exception of alpha counters would be a huge bummer.

I want alpha counters. CC and air blocking can DIAF.

Alphas if done right could be a great way to prevent vortex play. If SF has a guard crush meter, I think AC's will be necessary (but not SFA3 kill your guard meter AC's)


That said, the better solution to people blocking too much- make throws good again. Make them at least A2 good, like 1f, you take damage if you tech them, 1-button throws. That would work better than a guard meter.

I've played very little kof but i like the hop as a solution to swing the game towards offense.

Anyone else like the hop?

Has this been talked about already? I really hope Harada is joking, even tho I don't like the character this is bullshit

Calm down and Don't worry. That character are East Asia and Europe "Exclusive".
and I'll say again. We've more new characters on TK7. She is JUST one of them.
and She will be country exclusive (or region exclusive) character. We don't include her for your region. That's why I said Calm down and Don't worry.
RT@Ulect Please add a option to delete any character you do not want to play against in Arcade battle like Lucky Chloe please!!!!

Man the casual reaction to sfv is strangely negative...all I seen about it is how it looks like sfiv or console war bullshit. Not a lot of genuine interest or excitement seemingly.

Hope this doesn't turn into a 3s scenario where the General public doesn't give a shit anymore.

I think they're already halfway there. Hopefully not though.

Well... SF4 had the nostalgia factor, i don't think the "casuals" will follow on SF5.

What did they show that would make casual players excited, do they even have a single reason to be?

On my plane coming home from NEC. Was a pretty nice time. The hotel was still awful though and somebody still destroyed the stairwell. I guess I missed some stuff but it all seems to have stirred up extra online stupidity so I guess I'm pleased.

I dno but I'm not sure what they possibly could have done...I guess if it came out with an art style as striking as xrd that coulda done it. I'm not sure seeing ryu and chun for the 7000th time is ever gonna make the general public excited again at this point.

Then it was too early for a casual reveal. I guess sony wanted an exclusive at their presentation so this reveal was forced.

If they want casuals to be excited then they need a good looking game, SF5 certainly doesn't look good right now. Maybe some decent new characters, or just a variety of characters. Anything that looks cool that would make people think "Oh I want to play that character, maybe press some buttons". Capcom needs to have a marketing campaing ligned up once the game is actualyl anywhere near to done or they have something worthwhile to show.

That's my opinion, then again I don't really have an interest in playing SF.

\/ Damn japan is really behind on that stream tech, that game capture looks like ass. Talk about compression.

Region locked characters seems really daft. That, and you're actively neutering the larger community by doing do.

Isn't this 99% of GAF's reaction to any game?

GG does something like a guard bar but it instead of getting guard broken it just increases the decreases the scaling/can lead to multiple counter hits in a row if you do get hit ... i think that is the coolest system ever. makes blocking scary but its not as cut and dry as a normal guard bar system.

Yup. GG guard bar serves the same purpose with more interesting results. The pressure felt by the defender becomes very real once they see that bar flashing violently, and the longer they're under those conditions, the more likely they'll try to escape pressure doing something stupid - ID out of a corner, 2P/2K etc. Once they finally get opened up, you're essentially rewarded with a training mode combo. It feels so effing good. Compare that landing Ultra because you got beat up for half a round or mashing X-Factor out of block string and running through an entire team. You can't.


That said, I've always LOVED the guard break mechanics of Soulcalibur 2. I'd like to see a 2D fighter go that route. I know Mr. Karate has some form of dedicated Guard Break move, correct me if I'm wrong, but typically, GBs in 2D fighters are tied to something more universal, yet are less prevalent.

Oldschool gameplay is so much more rewarding. Please let SFV help bring it back. We don't need it to "reintroduce" casuals to fighters again.
 
When are we starting the Capcom Cup Fantasy brackets brehs?

I don't wanna bet against my man but.. NIshikin was probably one of the worst matchups Louffy could've gotten first round

That was the first time I'd heard somebody say MvC3 had terrible graphics.

Good. I hope Louffy goes 0-2 and becomes a pot monster.
