Isn't Necalli's V trigger being unlimited makes him overpowered?

His V-Trigger would suck if it wasn't. It lets him be a bit more aggressive by improving the frame advantage of some moves, but I don't think he gets a damage buff (though he does get new combos) or improved stun or some new utility or anything like other characters do. Also he loses access to v-reversals.

edit: I stand corrected! He definitely moves a lot faster, that was silly of me to forget.

I've been playing SF4 since it first came out on and off but never looked too into the advanced specifics. I hear a lot about Plinking, anyone able to give me a beginners guide?

Pretty sure his specials gain an extra hit, he has faster movement, and I THINK his CA might do more damage.

His punch moves do more damage

None of the replies I've seen so far have been overtly hostile, so we are keeping it friendly.

I do appreciate your elaborate response even if it is mostly negative and dismissive. You clearly have a different view on Sean, which is to keep him as is.

The only thing I can't agree with is the quoted part. Multiple people calling your idea outright terrible or lame or just replying with "no" doesn't count as friendly or open-minded discussion in my book. If I would feel someone's idea is not my cup of tea, I'd respond with something like: "Your idea certainly sounds as if you thought about it and there might be some merit in it, but personally I'd rather see Sean return as he was in III because a complete change of fighting style seems too much."

I'll probably make myself a target for saying this, but Gaf really can be a hostile place to people like me who apparently have a different standard when it comes to trying to be understanding and nuanced instead of overly negative or even bordering on being hostile in terms of choice of words. Guess I'm still not cut out for the coldness of the internet even after all these years...

That said, let's forget I ever brought up the idea and move on.

I can see where you're coming from now, which I couldn't really before. I didn't mean to be so dismissive to your idea, so I apologise for that.

As for GAF being a hostile place, I agree with you. I've dealt with the hositlity myself, with this thread and the first roster thread being the main places where I received it.

EventHubs got hands on time with FANG (although this first article is just about what sort of combo damage he's capable of)

It's pretty evident that F.A.N.G's main game will be keep-away, but I still wanted to know what kind of damage he's capable of when decides to go in.

While playing against Capcom's Community Manager, Peter "Combofiend" Rosas, I asked him to show me his best Crush Counter punish.

Fiend obliged by using Crush Counter, V-Trigger and special meter to quickly demonstrate the hardest hitting sequence he could muster. Hit the jump to see it.

As you can see, this combo is good for about a third of your opponent's life bar. You'll score 335 damage right off the bat, but like most of F.A.N.G's sequences this leaves your opponent bleeding out via poison.

I'll be putting together a broader impression piece very soon, so stay tuned for more direct details on the Shadaloo's number two.

I had a look at the DLC silhouettes again and tried to draw outlines for all the characters, but I found that Alex's was way more easier to outline than the others. The others seemed to have hardly any defining features that would give you an idea on what they were wearing or even looked like. Either way, I traced and coloured Alex's silhoutte just to give a basic idea of what's what in the drawing. It's not the best of jobs but I thought I'd give it a go anyway.

E Honda never going to make it.

I'd still like to see an off the wall design for him like he has no jump or v skill is a very short hop as his only jump.

I must be the only one that hopes Ingrid comes to the roster in 2017. They could redesign her and make her have amazing potential. I thought she would end up being the final boss based off of the tease we got back in August. In addition, the roster is incredibly disappointing. I only use Mika and Cammy. First batch of dlc is disappointing for me bar Juri and Ibuki.

I'm also keen to see Ingrid return. Basically anyone who wasn't in 4 should be welcomed.
She would be cool as a secret boss in story mode or something.

With Ken shown in Brazil in the cinematic trailer we might see the two meet for the first time.

Yea, this why I have no doubt Sean will appear sometime down the line. Bridging the gap to the 3 series. Especially with the added focus on story. Same with Oro.

Speaking of, Shadaloo has a strong lineup and they'll probably add another doll sometime a long the line. I mean it seems we already have a Decapre tease. Urien is going to need some back up.

The wait for this game is becoming hard. Also do we know who the final boss is yet?

Necalli and probably Bsion will be the final bosses. Which one ends up being the final threat however, is more difficult to assume.

It's been said that SFV is the bridge between SF4 and SF3, so yes I believe we will end up seeing a lot of SF3 characters in this game. Some might not be playable, but I have no doubt they will appear.

Well they are certainly not gonna bring back Twelve. Maybe an earlier version of Necro, either the same character or a prototype of a similar experiment.

But Capcom really doesn't care about Story. We have a game that bridges the story between 4 and 3, and they decided to have 0 characters in the initial roster that debuted in 4 or 3. Instead we have characters that haven't had a story since Alpha. It actually is the opposite of rationality. I don't think Story is a good basis to guess upcoming characters from.

It's interesting that they went and updated the dolls designs. Really wouldn't mind a couple becoming playable. For the Illuminati side l it would be awesome if Kolin was playable.

Nah, I'd like to see her too. Her aesthetic and body type brings something different to the table like Karin. More women who aren't super models would be greatly appreciated.

To be fair, super models generally have waifish proportions, much closer to say, Karin, than Laura or Chun Li, whose body proportions would be better described as "adult video actress" :3

It sounds like something that could have happened in SFIV. It's a travesty compared to his 2I theme.

Good point

I was searching for the right words, but I was also watching the Republican debate and posting in the debate thread. Kinda hard to come back to this after seeing Christie land a level 3 focus attack on Rubio. I think we can both agree that Karin and Ingrid definitely bring more unique body types to the table than the leading SF ladies so far.
