Street Fighter V AE: CHAMPION EDITION

[Nitsuki]

How could they have made a game as good as IV was and then completely shit the bed on it's sequels? Like, I don't understand?

Oversimplifying and $$$ talks more than alienating newer players because they think a game is “too hard”

[Lucavi]

Well, for starters, by removing Rufus. Birdie isn't acrofatic enough for me.

[fantasticdan]

I think the answer here is that Dimps developed most of SF 4 for Capcom.

Reminder that the last good fighting game Capcom developed themselves vs CvS2 in 2001 lol.

[BWYuko]

Eleven announced as bonus content, not the 5th DLC character.

[AoE]

They kept the fighting stance. That's all I need.

History repeats itself:

- After 5 years of safe DP->FADCs and endless (sometimes unblockable!) vortexes off of hard knockdowns, USF4 finally fixes those problems
- After 5 years of bad defensive options, SF5 Season 5 finally introduces some useful defensive mechanics

I imagine that just as everyone forgot about the problems SF4 had for most of its lifespan (because they were fixed in the last upgrade), 4 years from now after SF6 is out, people will pretend that SF5 was always fine.

[Odesseiron]

I'll wait til the premium pass is 50% off during next years EVO like they usually always are. Maybe by that time most of the characters will be out.

[Nitsuki]

With the netcode and all, i’m predicting Strive is going to get a massive hand over sf5, likely until sf6 is out. Sf6 really needs to bring a banger of a netcode if it hopes to survive, the name alone i don’t think will carry it anymore.

[Krandor]

Doubtful, it's still an anime game from a smaller company. It doesn't have the same level of appeal to the average consumer as a big name property like SF or Tekken

[Nitsuki]

Possibly, ASW’s name really blew up thanks to DBFZ tho, i feel it stands up to them at this point. Still an anime game, true, won’t have the appeal that SF and Tekken bring, but here’s hoping at least the netcode will light a fire under everyone’s asses for the future of the sf6 being good online considering that the netcode will be roughly the same as the one in GGAC+R, which is quite phenomenal.

Imagine if ASW patch in the same netcode for dbfz and granblue, i’d surely be playing granblue a lot more if it had this rollback netcode.

[Mrbeansman]

I'm pretty optimistic about the netcode for 6. Whatever you think of MvCI the game completed the journey that began with SFxT to have well implemented rollback netcode.

You typed that out like you weren't one of those idiots defending SF5 to death back in 2016 when Weltall and I were calling it the game dumbed down, all offense, no defense, basic bitch casual trash SF?

[Deejay]

oh man those were good times

god, I really wanted to like V. what a shitshow that was

[Xno Kappa]

There’s a five years hulk taco to antman meme somewhere in all this.

[Moridam]

fuck, has it really been five years now?

i really wanted to believe in it but i was done by the time march rolled around, lol.

[Mrbeansman]

I cant believe they dumped developer resources into making new models for eleven instead of you know just adding random select to matchmaking queues.

does he change from round to round (iirc that was the usual standard for characters like SC's weaponmaster), or is it locked in at the start of the match? because if it's the latter, fucking lol

I mean it's not that much work, it's literally just some textures and a filter on the voice.

[Mrbeansman]

Its one character for the whole match basically random select but the character looks ugly as sin.

It’s either Mokujin or a glorified random select. Probably took a day or twos work with one of the interns. Doubt much developer resources were “dumped” into it.

I know hating on SFV is the cool thing to do but this seems like an awfully nitpicky thing to dwell on.
