The problem here is that the term "KOF reject" is only an insult if you don't like KOF...
The lack of any significant news on the Smash 4 front is slowly killing the hype for the game, & I'm afraid that we're not gonna get any DLC news until at least October.
I'd love to be wrong.
IMO, it is one of the harder motions because you need to go through neutral which I have trouble with doing quickly. I'd rather her super be just a 360 + P like Alex's SA1 in 3rd Strike.

360 motions are honestly really fun for me to do, so I am a tiny bit sad about them going away.
about what?

Is Rashid the first SF character with command normals out of a regular dash?
I thought we were talking about pre-release.
Oh, nevermind.

I honestly like 360s for throws better than HCF/Bs, it's just fun to twirl he stick around
Fuck 720s though
Capcom can still change Rainbow Mika's command for her Critical Art if there's enough outcry. Hell, they opened up the option of Vega being changed back into a charge character if we want him to.

But it's so satisfying to do when you don't need jump to do them. Just walking up and doing them makes you feel like a boss. lol
360 low frame grab move is one of the most satisfying things in SF
very sad to see them go away :/
Reject would imply that it's a bad design that has the look of a KOF character, but is below it's standards. So it's derogatory regardless.
There seems to be a lot of KOF being used in certain characters (Ken's command run is another) - especially in how projectiles are being treated.
Mika's super is still a 540 if you do the full motion.

I love KOF's mechanics, but I think Street Fighter should have its own distinct style. As much as I think 3rd Strike is easily the best in the series, and will remain that way even after 5's release, I hate that it introduced the Japanese fashion industry inspired designs that permeate KOF so much. It works for KOF in a cheesy stylized kind of way, but I always saw Street Fighter as well....about fighting on streets. Characters like Guile, Cody, Ryu, Sagat, Hugo, Zangief, Sakura, Chun Li, Cammy, and Charlie epitomize what I see as the "Street Fighter" style: street level bad asses who couldn't give less than a shit about "who" they're wearing, just who's ass they're about to kick and how. But then again I have immense disdain for anything considered "stylish," so perhaps I should take into account that a lot of people are quite interested in fashionable things. With that being said, if you're into trendy and stylish stuff, then I can see the appeal of Viper.....though it pains me to admit that.

I think you meant someone, but the sentiment traveled nonetheless. I feel differently than you, no reason to get defensive. I despise Viper in every conceivable way, but a lot of people are disliking this new character's design whereas I quite like it. We can't all agree on character designs, but hell at least we can all just agree on loving Street Fighter. Here's to fighting games; bringing people together for both internet and local hostility for.....well......the majority of my life!
I agree with most but not Chun-Li. I always thought her outfiit was pretty fashionable, especially in newer games.

You're probably right, admittedly I know nothing about what's fashionable for the Chinese. It is a pretty elegant outfit huh? For some reason I was thinking that was just a Chinese fighting garb of some type, but now that I think of it that's pretty silly of me. So I was wrong about Chun Li, thanks for pointing that out
I agree with C-Viper outfit being awful, but I never saw it as a KoF style of casual clothing. ie, she's not just wearing a suit, she's wearing a secret agent outfit, which is pretty much inline with what the characters you listed in your other post are wearing. Secret ~CIA agent wearing a suit is very SF style of clothing.I think you meant someone, but the sentiment traveled nonetheless. I feel differently than you, no reason to get defensive.

You only need do 270s, like this:
Likewise, you can do the super variant by doing 540s.
I only found out the real way by word of mouth, and was like "why would they (Capcom) do that?" Doing the move as they listed it was almost impossible for me outside of doing a jump (didn't know about buffering inside of normals then either).
They just need to give him his ingame expression and not the super pissed look in the character select portrait lol

On the other hand though she's wearing those cuffs and boots so it's not 100% a fancy outfit.

True ....we'll just settle for saying Ms. Li is simply an elegantly but pragmatically attired bad ass who looks primed and ready for either an upscale establishment or a back alley brawl. Strongest woman in the world indeed
Yeah that didnt fit him at all lol. Thankfully we dont have to worry about that anymore, if he's in.
Including a jumping direction in a motion means that you have to either commit to the move or jumping if you input the motion. Changing Zangief's SPD to a 180 in SF2 would affect how people use the move, but given that all throws have whiff animations in modern fighting games it's not as important. It does mean that you no longer have to choose from a jump or executing the move now. I'm totally down with simplifying inputs, but some motions did have interesting side effects.

I cannot exactly nail down what it is, but Rashids design kind of completely annoys me.
Plus his general style reminding me of El Fuerte doesn't help.
This game is kind of shaping up weird, lately...

Even if Zangief isn't a launch character, I think we all know he'll get in. I'm not counting 360's dead until 'Gief shows up without them.
oh nice, i thought Capcom said for sure they're gone. i have faith they'll come back, if not for Alex then for Zangief DLC.
true, i'd prefer boomerang raid if anything

I thought this was the common knowledge. You just need to hit four directions and diagonal counts as left-up counts as up. But I'm a keyboard player and I always did > v < ^, which is a 270, so it was probably easier for me to figure it out.
I'd expect that or stungun, since the stun meter is back. Stungun is also anti-fireball, which is a focus in this game.
Another batch of Rashid gameplay came in from IGN Middle East.
Rashid vs. Chun-Li
Rashid vs. Necalli (Rashid taunts in this match)
Rashid vs. Rashid (this match shows Rashid's yellow alternate color)

Yellow/gold ult should have been default.
And is it so hard for capcom to use a quick 3 seconds in the reveal trailer to show his fucking buttons? Watching these new guys play and it's just painful to watch trying to find a normal button press during the flail of specials and jumps. And no wonder new players head into the games trying to learn specials for hours and hours while never checking on their footies tools. The fucking trailer showed I think, 2 normal moves and everything else was combos and specials.
