Street Fighter V: A Preliminary Thread

[Chun Liroy]

They've been pretty keen to highlight alot of people's complaints with 4 in what they've revealed so far.

Faster
Less turtling
Less vortex (since fewer hard knockdowns)
No Wakeup Ultras

no ultras period. The removal of a straight up instant comeback mechanic in the form of 50% damage is sooooo fucking crucial. The addition of alpha counters too is welcome, and guardbreak (the stun gauge fills up on block, right?)

[Callisto]

Stun only builds on hit.

Trigger is interesting since you'll fill it 2-3 times per round and have to choose between offensive use, guard cancel, or getting to risk a bad DP.

Also they can't take out option selects lol, they've been in every game since and including SF2 and they're just a side consequence of how games read inputs.

[Jefe]

Yeah, os are a... byproduct of programming. The machine is just interpreting the algorithm, the user just abuses it. Same w/ plinking, although this one is more associated w/ the values stored in the 'buttons.' It just gives priority to certain values. Eg this y > than z.

[Krandor]

Option selects are fine in a limited capacity and are always going to exist in every fighting game. For example, GG Xrd tutorial teaches you basic option selects as part of the fundamentals of the game.

SF4 is just filled to the brim with overly effective ones, crouch teching being the most glaring.

[Taim Meich]

Exactly. It's not that option selects are going to disappear forever, but they should go out of their way to specifically negate those that make certain situations brainless just by the option select being there. Honestly, even if the only option select that diasppears is crouch tech I'll be absolutely happy, as that's the one that have the most impact in the game at the level I am. Most other option selects are used at a level of skill way above my own. They'd still be great if removed, if only for the sake of the spectacle, as pro matches are much more interesting to view when interesting and tough decisions are made, but the removal of crouch tech is huge.

[Weltall]

You should not be able to use cr.lk on opponent's wakeup and also input sweep if they backdash to cover both bases. If they can somehow get rid of that and crouch tech, the game will be the best fighter (it will be anyway, get used to it).

[Lucavi]

Did you get your dick sucked by a Capcom employee or something, Welt? Was she Asian? Goddamn you are all over the SFV thirst.

I'm excited too, man, but temper yourself.

If backdash actually has no invincibility (was this confirmed? idk, but it makes sense with no focus attack) then all the anti-backdash option selects are gone by default.

[Deejay]

Yeah why are we trying to make back dashing safer? Back dash as a safe option is exactly why that option select SHOULD exist.

Being able to run out of a mix up after you got knocked down is scrubby.
Being forced to block is a part of fighting games.

Don't want to be forced to block on wakeup? Then don't fuck up.

[Chun Liroy]

While I agree, the lack of invincibility on backdash negates that. I prefer it better this way personally.

Lol, I think you miss the point. I don't want anyone to be able to wakeup and backdash to safety. Quite the opposite, actually.

Coming from someone who still plays that casual, easy FFXIV trash? I think, lol.

[Akiyama]

Coming from someone who still plays that casual, easy FFXIV trash? I think, lol.

Why you gotta shit on games like that? I personally still play too because I still have friends playing it and I enjoy it, so there's really not much wrong with it, casual or not.

I'm hyped for SFV regardless, but why we gotta be tradin insults

[Krandor]

Because Welt always talks mad shit?

[Akiyama]

Because Welt always talks mad shit?

Difference between talking mad shit on somebody's game and talking mad shit about a game people still like just because he doesn't, haha.

But it's no biggy! Just figured I'd call it out.

Birdie & Cammy added, Beta July 23rd

[Krandor]

Why is Birdie fat?

[Xno Kappa]

Birdie let himself the fuck go lol.

[6souls]

I thought it was Rufus at first glance.

[Nitsuki]

Birdie always fat, cammy is fucking hot!
