Yeah, I dunno you have stuff like Chun's looking more like water and stuff like that. I like the ink effect and that it's individualized. Out of all the little things I have with the art direction the ink stuff isn't one of them.

Menat has some pretty fkn high waifu levels.
Actually, lots of tournament players like to go with their favorite colors &/or costumes. It could be the default, sure, & some tournaments like ELeague only allow the default. But you'll likely see a variety of Menat's costumes & colors at majors.

Haunts' blog post...I know it's probably just a typo...
And dont forget, the SFV Season 2 Character Pass is available for $29.99 / 29.99 / £24.99 and will grant pass holders with Akuma, Kolin, Ed, Abigail, Menat and an addition brand new fighters to be announced later this year. The pass comes with Premium Battle Costumes with colors 3-10 unlocked and default costume colors 3-10 for each character. Additionally, Season 2 Character Pass holders will receive an exclusive PS4 theme!

She looks like she would have fit in the Alpha series much better than in SFV. I'm not complaining tho
I prefer ed and necalli but she's dope. She's way better than laura thats for sure.
Can we replace laura with her

Considering he already put a singular an before what I'm guessing should have been additional, yeah it's probably a typo.
Did they get around the issue of having to unlock colors? That was the main reason why everyone used color 1 back when I was following the game more closely.

Which stage did this assets came from?
I'm guessing Vega's

Oh yeah, we could see it if we activated Vega's wall grab.

Way too pricey for just 6 characters and some costumes. Plus it being exclusive to only one account on your system and other accounts can't use your bought season pass sucks so I just stick to Fight Money for few select characters
I dunno man, she has normals that dont use the orb and she can send it out too. What i really hope is they just did it for aesthetic reasons lol. Gives me hope they'll tone that shit down from here on out
$5 is very reasonable for a fighting game character.

ASW stuff is visually pleasing, stylish, and clean as fuck.
But yes SF has always had better animation when it came to being smooth and fluid since SF3/vsav
What they do and go for work for the style of gameplay they each have

Yep. Its an apples to oranges comparison. They're both going for two different things.

King of Fighters XIV charges $5.99 a character. But yes, fight money is even better.
People don't consider how much work goes into fighting games characters, instead they compare it to shooting games, sports...etc where it's not much but a skin change.
Except for the "the characters kinda look like clay" aspect, it's just not rooted in anything here, or at least not much. It was awesome how IV had the whole ink effect, as if they were hinting at the 2D origins of their now 3D-modeled series. The intro solidified the look, and the focus attacks on start and hit and such emphasized it. It was awesome how it actually effected the hit target for a second too. It was a theme that helped solidify the game's effect style.
I guess my disappointment with how it's been carried out stems from the fact we all thought it'd really mean something when the game was first revealed. Like characters would each have elements they'd tap into, and the effects would be a visual power-up that ties into the attack element. Instead of just being "colored paint blobs", they'd have been after-effects of wind, fire, earth, water, lightning, etc. So instead of Guile having blobs around him as he combs his hair, you'd have his mastery of wind / creating sonic booms showing off from the moment he spins his comb (causing sonic ripples in the air), and then his "sweeps" of the comb through his hair could super-straighten it, tossing about a sheering wind element, explaining his ridiculous
ly awesome
Maybe "lazy" is a bit strong, but it just feels like a weaker version of something that should be more deeply rooted.
Yeah, this is definitely good. Now we just have to hope she's solid enough, and lacking in glitches, to actually make people WANT to use her in tourneys!
I've enjoyed the ABI-GAAAAIL upsets I've seen on streams, hopefully she can provide similar incentives for play in her early days.

Literally every fighting game that releases dlc characters releases them anywhere from $4 and up, most around the $6 range, and most don't give you a non cash option to utilize...
I liked Necalli until he came across as a total jobber and waste of space in the Cinematic Story.
If story shit made you not like nicalli how do you still like laura?
You can buy the colors in bulk via Fight Money or real money. On top of that, not only do Premium Costumes now include the first 10 colors, but Character Pass owners automatically get the first 10 colors for the default costumes of the characters in said Character Pass.
She's a Matsuda. That's good enough for me.

Who would have thought that Capcom can make SF characters without monster feet and hands.
Hers look cute, for a change..

Hey, No Kink Shaming the devs.
Damn, that's awesome!
You're giving those devs far too much credit. 5 bucks for a character is extortion. Look at how easy it is to animate:
So far all DLC newcomers have been pretty good. Abigails initial reception had some unfortunate circumstances, but he's nothing short of being awesome.
Hopefully there is going to be a WSO stream, to get some information ahead of the release.

Where the hell is the move list?

find out tomorrow, in-game, lol
Yeah, nothing worrying about that.
The character is around 24 hours from being released and all we have is the reveal trailer and a blog post about her V Skill and V Trigger.
Yep, nothing to worry about here ...at all. Nope.
...What?
The CFN (Capcom Fighters Network) site might have it up at some point.
I think it was like that for Abigail too, but his movelist might have shown up prior.

Pretty sure his was up by now.
Please inform the more rational people in this thread what we should be worrying about.
No offense but you should really try to keep up with a game before you post about it. Capcom always does this.
