I've just been in training mode for a couple hours. Played around with everyone and, as I expected, Mika is definitely my #1. I plan on learning Karin as a secondary eventually, but aside from her, I found Laura surprisingly fun to use.
Those things are no joke, and they are hardddddddd to do, especially since it involves so many inputs (at once).This is my situation with Karin lmao. She's fun to play, but not like "man I wanna main her" fun.
Join the Rashid Army. You won't want to go back.
But you get all the speed in the world in the world and then some. Personally, I think Rashid is one of, if not the best character in the game.You won't gather any glorious muscle spirit maining a twig like him.
Honestly, I was shocked Server Disconnect made it into V. He really wasn't that popular in IV.
It'll be all worth it once that beautiful cinematic Story Mode drops. Truthfully, I only bought this game for Bison, but that'll change once Gouken is released in 20XX.
Sadly, I heard the new story mode will take only an hour or two to finish.
So far, it's pretty damn good but disappointingly incomplete. Playing against friends is as fun as ever but the sheer lack of things to do when you don't have your buddies around stings. What's really jarring is that, despite beating story mode, I can't use any of the alternate costumes I "unlocked" because the shop isn't in the game yet. Challenges aren't here either, and there's very little to do solo.
The PC version has had a few hiccups, but only for certain people. The game thus far has had issues using certain laptop graphics cards and has some other "usual day 1" issues... although it still hasn't crashed on me. For comparison's sake, by this point with The Phantom Pain on the same PC I had a blue screen and 6 random screen filtering glitches (although I fixed 4 of those in game by teleporting), while with Fallout 4 I had 3 crashes, 3 minute long loading times (on an SSD), 2 load screens that never loaded, and 7 "stuck with no way out" incidents where I had to reboot.
People are expecting the game to crash and burn because of early online issues?
Truly the biggest issue with SFV at this point in time.
Yeah, reading all the Steam reviews is kinda depressing (but it is Steam, so that's to be expected). Lots of people acting like the sky is falling because there are server issues at launch, as if that doesn't happen with literally every online-focused game ever.
Ehhh... I mean if you don't like doing a lot of the training room, don't have local people to play and don't like doing online matches a lot I get why you wouldn't like it right now. But like... if you're one of those people, your best option would be to just play the game from time to time until the content builds up. Eventually the game will be to your liking.
If Makoto is in Season 2 I will freak out!!! Makoto in this game would be a hand and glove fit!
I mean just look at Fallout 4. If you complained about real technical and legitimate issues with the game, you'd get barked at by Bethesda super fanboys who decry all criticism towards their beloved gaming overlords. Because fanboys did that Bethesda found these complaints and responded to these complaints slower than they otherwise would have. The Fallout 4 community literally held Fallout 4 back from being more playable. That is insane, and that is where many gamers are trying to lead gaming to now.
The lack of modes is evident, but no doubt the game will be getting further free content down the line to which I believe the game will bloom eventually just like Splatoon (if thats a good example.)
It'll be like the free price of Splatoon mixed with Killer Instinct's seasons, although there will be costumes that you can only get by paying real money.
Yeah C. Viper, Sakura, Decapre, Oro and Gouken and maybe Juni and Dark Ryu were strongly hinted at. All of the 6 confirmed DLC characters but Alex and Urien appear in some way too.
Ono teased at Sagat and mentioned Blanka (unfortunately), so I think it's fair to say that those two will be DLC at some point. Then of course there's the obvious ones, like Gouken, Viper, etc. And some people think Azam will be playable, which would be kickass.
Every character is going to be 100k.
Helen and the police officer Dhalsim were playable are possible, but I think Ed and especially Azam will get in first (assuming Helen is ever playable).
I believe the police officer's name is called Mahesh, I think. There isn't much that we know about Helen so far, but hopefully we'll know a bit more of her character soon. What sort of fight styles do you think Ed and Azam would have?
Ah yes, I completely forgot about those two and I'd say they may have a shot of being in the game. I would also like to mention Sean in Laura's story but I'm not entirely too sure about his chances though so for now, I think he's 50/50. Who were the cameos involved in Rashid's story again?
Agree with you there. I just want all future waves of DLC to consist of returning faves along with some newcomer characters.
Well she'd be another psychic character of sorts, although judging by how different Rose and Bison are... the possibilities are very open.
Sean I'm beginning to think has a better and better chance as time goes on. Which is good for me, because I enjoyed him a lot in SF III. He actually might be the only character in III I enjoyed more in Second Impact than Third Strike, and he's probably the best designed character in vanilla III (which btw age still reveals that to be pretty meh).
Lots of people via text messages, IM's, etc. Hakan, Abel (who name dropped Sagat), Poison and a few others were mentioned. I can't recall them all off the top of my head sadly.
I just want a "white whale" drop already. I mean... Tekken 7 had Akuma, Smash 4 had Cloud, Bayonetta and Ryu, and Soul Caliber has had tons of cool crossover characters. I want some crazy non-Street Fighter/Final Fight characters in this game (although I still want Mike Haggar).
Well, guest characters has certainly become what I consider a trend in fighting games like you have stated some of the names from above. I am aware that there are some people who seem to oppose the idea of having guest characters but I would'nt be surprised if they add a fighter from Tekken.
The bear in Mika's story and on Zangief's stage is foreshadowing Kuma's inclusion as a guest fighter /tinfoilhat
The bear does resemble a bit like Kuma from Tekken.
Clearly that is eluding to ta character we have all been dreaming would debut in Street Fighter at last!!!...
I think they may 200,000 or so copies short of that 2 million copy target, but that should be close enough (note: the end of financial years for Capcom is March 31). This title is really about selling a lot over the lifespan. If Capcom can sell say about 5 million copies this year, this game is a success.
After Smash completely nailed 7 different 3rd party characters + characters from 30 different series, Soul Caliber and Dead or Alive have had some good to great 3rd party characters, and Tekken 7 just absolutely nailed Akuma, I think 3rd party guests in fighting games should become the standard, or even just non-franchise characters.
I could see that happen. As I may have already mentioned, with the amount of content coming up as the months progress, I feel that the game will reach its potential.
I do agree with this and I believe that out of all the video games which I am satisfied with guest character inclusions would be Smash.
CS:Go didn't really start selling until a few months past, the online issues faded, the balancing got good, and the amount of content increased. I suspect we may see a similar situation to that, although the game balance right now feels pretty good.
I would throw in SC II with Link, Heihachi and Spawn as well. Ezio from Assassins Creed was a pretty decent pick in SC5 as well. Kratos was alright too for the PSP SC.
The only good thing to come out of SFxT was that the Tekken characters were pretty well designed. Additionally seeing Akuma work so wonderfully in the Tekken universe has me hopeful for Tekken characters.
The fact that most of her good colors are locked behind Hard Survival is criminal. It's a crime. It should be against the law. It might already be. At least the green one's alright.
