They’re both Japanese temples or shrines, so they look similar in that regard, but they’re entirely different buildings.

The roof, the interior, and the general shape/size are completely different. Ryu’s temple is directly on the ground and Akuma’s is elevated with steps. Akuma’s temple has giant statues. Ryu’s temple is completely intact, whereas Akuma’s looks mostly destroyed.

Even the one on Kanzuki estate looks more like the left one:

Excited for Akuma and the new stage, also more shotos please, SFV lacks shoto characters. Command grab characters are lame and there are many in SFV.

The only thing the command grab characters share is having a command grab. Other than that, they all play nothing alike.

By your logic, I could say there are too many projectile characters, so don't add anymore shotos...they're lame and there are many projectile characters in SFV already.

Command grabs, like projectiles, are just another TYPE of move.

You can't sit there and say there are too many command grab characters, then ask to add more fireball tossers without being a hypocrite.

What I meant is grapplers, for example R.Mika, Gief, and Alex. R.Mika for example is trash character, less of her is better. Also, many characters in SFV has command grab move such as Nicalli, Vega, Laura. For people who love to play grapplers, SFV has enough, but not enough shotos.

Command grabs does not a grappler character make.

Necalli, for example, uses his command grab as a mixup tool. It's not a main move of his and only plays into his game when the opponent is cornered. Vega's command grab has a similar function, but it is a useful tool for when he either loses his claw or needs to apply (once again) a corner mixup.

Also, Akuma has a command grab. He's had it since Alpha 2.

Vega and Birdie are grapplers? Jesus Christ, I need to reevaluate how I approach this game.

Do you people read my post? lol

I said there are grapplers and there are characters with command grab move.

Edit: Akuma has a command grab but he is a shoto character similiar to Ryu and Ken unlike Nicalli or Vega.

What? Daigo barely played Akuma at all. Tokido, Eta and then later Infiltration played him.
Unless this is just some random reference to all of the crying after the Akuma nerfs, where he was behind Ryu in the "shoto clone" war or something.



A friend of mine is too lazy to bother learning how to play the game. His excuse is because there's no Sagat. Having Sagat won't suddenly teach you the fundamentals, and he relied way too much on Sagat's ultra (used to be wakeup non stop) to actually do anything in SF4. With that gone, I can't see him doing much in SF5 with him, once he's added in the summer or fall of 2017.

And when he DOES get in i hope hes had a deep shift in moves and play.

And yeah, sticking with your fave is bad for you; i didnt git gud with Sim till i had did a few days rep with Chun and Rashidooooooooo to not rely on punching fools across the screen and teleporting to win. Tell him i said that. :p

I think the visual filters used for the game do the visuals a disservice if that's what you're getting at.

The animation is top-notch, but the low fps backgrounds and muddy textures/filters hurt the overall presentation.

Nice, Rashid gets a stage what, 8 months after launch lol. Maybe one day Mika, Necalli and Vega will get a stage.

Washed out colors and very flat background textures.I agree that stage looks absolutely garbage there, but at least it seems to have weather effects so if there's consistent lightning flashing and rain it's forgivable I guess.The SFA grassy stage isn't impressive until you see it in motion, after all.

I just want F.A.N.G's stage to be fully realized. If I recall, it was in an early alpha build of the game where Ryu & Bison looked radically different compared to how they ended up looking in SFV.

They didn't give him a stage yet? The one from his character art? :-|
