Street Fighter V coming to PS4 and PC

Ok, that looks nice. Chun looks like she plays like 3S Chun, which if true, thank you god.

Also, the pasta bowl bit was funny.

This game looks awesome...

 

Yeah. After seeing that footage, so far this looks like a solid fighter/Street Fighter game. Looks way better than the way SF4 plays. Real curious as to which characters made it into this game. I know/guessing the original 12 are in from SF2. It's hard for me to see a character like El Fuerte in there. Who knows though, eh. Gotta say though, after seeing that, lil salty it won't be for Xbox hahah.

 

So far the only other confirmed character is Charlie.

They gave Charlie teleports.

 

I'm okay with this new "gritty" approach to SF without all the goofiness and bright colors. It's still early, but I'm about to buy my ticket for the hype train on this one.

 

^Franken-Nash

 

it's nice to finally have in game proof of what happened to nash after all these years

 

Monster-mash nash...zombie charlie

 

WHY ARE HIS HANDS SO HUMONGOUS
ugh

 

Lol, gigantic hands have always been a thing in SF. Charlie's probably look extra ridiculous though since he's always adjusting his tiny glasses with them.

I take more issue with him looking like Nashenstein. Personally would have went with just discolored skin and severe scarring than the cartoony stitched together look they got going on. It clashes with the serious vibe of the trailer. I dig the trailer theme though.

 

That dude in the end is either E.Honda with braids, or a new character.. I'm glad I luckily came up on a lil gaming PC a few months ago. I just need to drop a lil money in it to get it up to par. Looking forward to playing this. Though I'm still afraid the mechanics is still gon be dumbed down stupid somehow. I remember Ono saying he wanted this to be even more beginner friendly, or something along those lines. But so far from the outside looking in, it looks like a pretty solid fighter. Glad they got rid of focus attacks and crouch techs.

Still hoping they drop my girl Makoto or the homie, Guy in the mix. But I think that's unlikely to be honest. As of now, ima be rockin this mofo Ken from the looks of things so far.

 

I kinda like the new stages. The Brazilian Favela came from a video where Ono teases Blanka, but that doesn't really look like a Blanka stage to me. More like Sean or Oro or something.

 

^ So far the stages are my favorite part of the game. Not digging the character's appearance much at all. Am liking the movesets they've shown but looks to have a clunky feel again and camera bothers me.

Love SF but not 4... I'm a bit of a hater on 4 :/

 

They explained that this mean mainly 2 things - removing "articificial input barrier" (one frame links mainly) and dedication to your choice (removing of as much of optionselects as possible). Both sounds OK and fair to me.

BTW I think that character on the end of Ken trailer MAY be new Blanka

 

This sounds like a good thing.

 

If true, removing 1 frame links is possibly the best thing they can do to bring in more "casuals". SF4 made me hate SF, been trying to play SF3 again to regain my love for the series.

 

I frame links were made easier because certain characters had their basic combos as 1 frame links making them not as user friendly as one might think. I like the back to basics approach they are using. Even crouch teching is most likely gone for good too. All of special exploits like plinking apparently don't work either with more target combos for every character.

Still I want the character in Brazil to be Oro or Sean. If they are trying to start over fresh they would avoid bringing back Blanka and brings back characters from older SF games with a new look like they did with birdie or someone completely original.
