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.
Rashid looks a bit KOF-ish, what with his dodge roll, running in place of spot dashing, and just really nice maneuverability. I think I've found my main!
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.
Yellow/gold ult should have been default.
I'm still waiting for a bit of a redesigned UI. Not that the one we have now is bad, but it needs a little more style. I'm mostly talking about the health bards, since I think they look kind of bland.
I honestly like 360s for throws better than HCF/Bs, it's just fun to twirl he stick around
Fuck 720s though
Another batch of Rashid gameplay came in from IGN Middle East.

Man...everyone in this game looks so wack...it's gotta be the play dough art style. Like Rashid could be cool but he looks so dumb & his super looks so stupid.
I know, right? IMO it's the second worst-looking new fighting game so far (almost as bad as Tekken).

SFV is easily #1 on the wack graphics tier. 3D Street Fighter games are just ugly. If TxSF comes out we'll finally get to see the SF cast done justice in 3D.
seems like it might be an easy character to punish thoughIt seems almost irritating how often he sends his opponent spinning into the air.

After playing many hours of the beta, I think the game looks great. The one blemish the graphics have is the dithered shadows. Hopefully that's something that gets fixed by release or a problem the PC version won't have.

Rashid vs. Necalli (Rashid taunts in this match)
Yeah, this game is beautiful. The animation and rendering style work well with each other. No other FG looks like it.
Taunt is at 1:29.
Looks like Rashid is about to drop some BARS on us.
I'm loving his personality. He just seems like a nice, fun loving guy.
Exactly how I feel. They should keep 360s, but replace 720s with two half circles or something
Dat mirror match quote: "You look just like me! Let's take a picture together and put it online!"
You know what could be interesting ? Cosmetic "theme packs" that make the life bars and such look whichever style you want. On the PC version of SF4 there are mods that make it look like capcom vs SNK that are pretty slick looking. What if Capcom just released a few flavors for people to use ? It can't be that hard to leave in a hook to replace an overall theme like that , I think most people would even be willing to spend a couple bucks. It could work just like costume packs, it only affects YOUR personal screen , hell it could even include a different announcer style too. Have a SF alpha 3 theme where the announcer spouts all the nonsense from that game like "face it straight" or "gopher bloke".

Agreed. Necalli on the other hand looks too small by comparison, and perhaps even a bit dull moves-wise?
SFV looks killer but it has some big gaps here and there. The fucking background textures are atrocious. In the hot ryu topic I was thinking, "God, please don't give this waterfall stage any attention"
The textures on the left seriously look like the jungle stage from sf4.
nasty

I never could stand charge characters. I'm happy with all of the changes so far.
Keep half circles for special grabs, 360s for supers. Alex was like this.
Or have every move have two inputs; half circles or 360s, and two half circles or 720s.
I don't see the problem.Yikes, those health bars do need some work.
Me either, they are straight and to the point. Not every game needs some fancy looking health bars..I don't see the problem.
yea stages look really bad, hope it's early build stuff.capcom likes to cram stages with as much superfluous crap as possible instead of actually making them look beautiful. they're the absolute worst at stage design these days and it's pretty sad
Yeah, I would much rather see just...generic yet beautiful environments. Open plains, a mountain plateau, a beachside, etc. That open, fresh feel is what I want.capcom likes to cram stages with as much superfluous crap as possible instead of actually making them look beautiful. they're the absolute worst at stage design these days and it's pretty sad

Though sheep hype is amazing.
The Japanese trailer for Rashid came out so you can hear his Japanese VA.

Is this old for you guys?
Get ready for Rashid and Shaheen fanart, everybody.
