You are taking a rather hard line stance on this that I don't think many might agree with.
I don't care if they agree with it, I just hope that people don't take PR lip service too seriously especially coming from Capcom. Even if you don't agree that Combofiend made a false statement, you surely must see that's stretching the truth there.

Just like I don't think people should expect godlike netcode from SFV or even a better SF experience in SFV just because Capcom is hyping it up. Read through the PR bull shit.

Well for netcode we'll see how beta goes anyway
 
Ryu and Ken still play more similar than differently. That is fine. This is the same company that put in 6 different Shotos in Vanilla SFIV and called it a day.

I'll be surprised if we don't end up with at least 4 on the initial release(Akuma is a given) plus a new Shoto.

Fair but in the case of netcode, I would say trust your own experience.

Namely free pre-order on amazon, access to beta. You can play it, see how crappy it is, make conservative extrapolations on possible improvements, reach your own conclusion.
 
but Dahbomb be the first one to hold on to every word out Itsuno's mouth concerning a new DMC tho
I have done that on many occasions.

This dude coined the phrase "the feel of 60FPS". Itsuno is 100% in Capcom's PR lip service curse. He will say whatever to sell the game.

I talk shit about Kobayashi too. 2006, in an interview he promised more weapons in DMC4 than all the previous DMC games combined. Another false statement.


why are you bringing that up after your shameful DMC5 deceit
Agreed. Dude needs to be barred from talking about DMC5.
 
Ken's face completely throws off the look. Needs to be changed stat. Not hot on the new costume/look but I'll take it over having the same red gi as before.

Moves look cool, his flame effects look absolutely spectacular, especially with the fire that raises from the ground every time he does a normal. Still think SFV does the EX colour over the characters better than any game has done it before.

New character looks like an Avatar. Wouldn't be surprised if it's Akuma with some more ornamental wear, the face isn't that far off, certainly closer than what we've seen change for Ken. Could be a Blanka clone or Blanka himself, another Evil shoto, or the new character. I don't put the likelihood of any of these higher than the others.

SFV TE2 colours clash so hard, Chun stick all over again.

FGW | Ken shoto first
 
.

Ken played different from Ryu in SF4 as well but they were still both shotos just like they are shotos in SFV as well. Again I don't have an issue with them being shotos or clones or whatever... I just have an issue with them saying something and delivering something else.

They aren't 100% clones so they technically weren't lying.

That was harsh, breh

Not really. From what I see, he's overreacted. And calling for ban for a member when he said that he don't want Ken in the game. I don't know why people kept mistaking his words as leaks when it was his opinion about Ken.
 
Ken looks way worse overall with that banana hair and terrible face, but his moves and costume looks cool, so ehhh we'll see
 
And calling for ban for a member when he said that he don't want Ken in the game.
He's already banned though so justice prevailed anyway.

Though my comment about Verendus was 100% a joke. I definitely knew he wasn't trying to leak that Ken wouldn't be in the game. He even made a post about "him being the villain or the hero" or something like that.

That said... shitty false leakers like ViewtifulJC need to be banned with impunity.
 
chances of Sakura being in the game period is rising.

Ken broke the whole notion of there being only one shoto. And everyone in the cast for SFV so far is from Alpha 2. Cammy was added to Alpha 2 in later revisions, and it was implied that she's there due to popular demand as opposed to normal planning.
If SFV is a revival of Alpha characters... Ingrid

Kreygasm
 
Yeah the Dahbomb/Verendus thing is hilarious, but we know Dahbomb is at the window with an AK anytime any leaker is mentioned. First you didn't read the original leak properly and called for a ban when DMC5 or half of his list was not announced at E3, now this lol

If anyone extracted anything from Verendus' intentionally ambiguous and absolutely meaningless replies to people asking about Ken, you lost.
 
We have this conversation every year and every year people try to get on me for calling for bans on false leakers.

Then they get banned anyway and then people prop up the next batch of leakers.

Rinse and repeat.


Verendus is cool though.

The face looked like akuma but did you see the braids and the shoulder pads? Then there is the new zealand stage and smaller things like not having red eyes, weird skin color and paint and showing his tongue, in general it screams new character from new zealand. No way it is akuma.
 
Still liking SFV's damage, and the animations are super crisp. Ken's air tatsu looks super nice, animation wise. 'Just need a definitive character that I can main. 'Waiting for Alex at this point.

Could Ken always cancel his step kick? 'Cause that's a tricky cancel.

>>False
>>Perhaps the greatest accuracy and breadth of any leaker ever, if not up there

>>next batch
>>leakers that have been on this forums for years, keep returning with accurate scoops year after year

For your sake at least, I hope you do go back and read the original leak for the part where he said for sure most of them wouldn't get announced at E3.
 
Anyone want to put money on the character at the end of the reveal not being Akuma?
It's not Akuma.

Too easy.

uhrm

eww
 
Some smash players think Lucas and Ness are clones.

Some smash players think Wolf and Fox are clones.

Some smash players think Mewtwo and Lucario are clones.

Clone discussion in smash threads are annoying. Remember when Roy got leaked, people were bitching that we are getting Lunica #2.

That was probably a legitimate concern, cause Roy was the original Marth clone, but it made sense to think they were going to change him since they couldn't port him from Melee, they might as well change him up.

But yeah character discussions get pretty silly in smash

I think Roy is as exciting as a box of rocks, but I'm pleasantly surprised with his design in Smash 4.
 
Ken looks like a character more suited to the pace and style of SFV than Ryu does. He looks more fluid and quicker where as Ryu still feels sluggish.

Oh and day 1 online Kens all day. Prepare yourselves...

I actually really like SFV Ken except for that face. Needs to be changed for sure.
 
The American we need is Guile of course.

The FADC mechanic for Ken is going to be a lot easier to use as the dash is built in and there's the freeze frame for the FADC to react or keep your calm for the following combo.
 
Seeing how Ken is, I actually would really like to see what they do with Akuma now.

Including an automatic dash, which is awesome.

Combo vs Max Ken Mirror

Combo or one of the other Community Reps mentioned on twitter a while back that V-Trigger out of SRK is gone in the internal builds - you can see it done in round 3.

You can V-Trigger > V-Skill with him. It's not one move.
 
looks like the ken V-trigger its easily punished on block. the freeze gives you lots of time to be ready to punish, too.

and even if you drop the combo you're still powered up for a while

I will accept a Frenchman by the name of Remy if no Guile
