Street Fighter V F.A.N.G Gameplay

Thanks for posting. Love Mike and Combofiend trashtalk.
Also dat can win. Birdie the GOD.
F.A.N.G looks alright too I guess.
Also, seems as you can select more colors in this build. And a "V-comment"(taunt?)
 
Leave it to Combofiend to keep going in with a zoning character that can apply a DoT. I can't wait to see some lame F.A.N.G play.

I wonder if Combo was trying to KO Mike with the poison at the end. He was in total control and he let up and Mike came back. He even made a comment about playing with his food.
 
Have they always been using 360 sticks to demo this game?

I can't wait to be utter garbage at this come February.
 
F.A.N.G.'s V-trigger is really weird. Not in terms of what it does, but it's the fact that it stands at complete opposition to his normal gameplan. It look like F.A.N.G. wants to zone the enemy out and let the poison do most of the work until the enemy gets ballsy and goes in where you punish them. But his V-trigger rewards you for staying in the enemy's face the whole time.

Pretty cool.

The poison will never do all the work for Fang. The damage goes really slowly, so it is hard to think the other person will just never hit Fang again so he can eat the equivalent of a few jabs.

You gotta keep pressing on the enemy once he is poisoned. It does away with white damage, so if people block, that chip damage sticks.

You can try to zone if you want -Combofiend tries at some points-, but the opponent will do better keeping in mind that being poisoned means really little until the end of the round.
 
Those Birdie throws do a ton of damage. I wonder if it's because F.A.N.G. has low health. For the range they have on them, I'd expect them to do less damage.
 
F.A.N.G. looks amazing to me. I'm going to main Dhalsim anyhow but this guy seems like right up my alley too. Also helps that unlike the other newcomers he actually has a personality to speak of and stands out visually, never mind it being another plus in my book that plenty of people are so annoyed by him as it is.

The general backlash of the community calling him one of the worst Street Fighter designs out there still cracks me up though; not only wrong, but you know it's going to lead to hatemail as well.
 
I'm really excited for this character, but...

Mike Ross won?

Mike won...wat...

Has he been in some time of long loosing streak?
 
Wow. I haven't finished the video yet but FANG seems to be soooo annoying, which is probably why I'm more inclined to main him at this point if I do play SFV :3

I'm glad that the forward poison ball doesn't hit stun though, because FANG would just be practically impossible to deal with if that were the case.
 
Well, my fears are assuaged; not only does F.A.N.G. Not look broken, but he honestly seems fun! I know that so many people are going to fear that one projectile that doesn't stun you for those first couple of weeks, so even if I don't stick with F.A.N.G., that should be fun.
 
Will be interesting to see if this poisonous character will be good or if he will be V's Fuerte.
 
Mike vs Peter sets are always a joy to watch. And I gotta say, I really like how motion blur makes this game look (though I hope they don't add it to the PS4 version, or have a toggle).

I thought it was FANG
F.A.N.G is lackey (and sounds like a sycophant), but Rashid has business with him. Bison and Necalli seem like the major guys to beat.
 
He looks like a mobile version of Guile x Gouken with less footsie options. Seems to have incredible low health too. I dunno, but his gameplan looks very "lame".
 
Of note is how little damage that sequence actually did. It will be tough to actually finish a match in "2 minutes" against a careful opponent.
 
That Shadaloo background is freakin' hilarious.

I'm just imagining the sculptor working on Vega's gigantic statue and having to scrap multiple versions because they weren't handsome enough.

Pretty sure thats just a bad matchup.

Not just bad, that looks like an horrible matchup. Gief is too big and slow to move through those annoying arch projectiles. He needs his old green hand to get close.

FANG would be OP if he had more health. Thankfully he seems pretty weak in terms of raw force and health...Still, he looks like an extremely annoying character...
 
BTW what does F.A.N.G. stands for?

Oh come on. It's incredibly unfair to start labeling this a horrible matchup so early, especially when Mike's Gief is kinda booty (sorry, Mike). Like, of course this will not end up being a good matchup for Gief no matter what, but Mike could have been easily using Gief's vskill to absorb both hits of the poison balls and used Gief's new not-ass-anymore forward dash to close the distance. Dealing with the grounded poison cloud will be a pain in the ass for sure.

FANG's general damage output also seems to be pretty low in a game full of big daddy damage combos.
 
Sagat quit Shadaloo after the Alpha series. He's been a good guy ever since.

Wow. Shows how much I keep up with the lore. Haha. I own the Alpha series but only came into it wayyyy after the fact and never got deep into any stories. I wouldn't mind buying the PS2 collection on the PS4 again. I hope gamers demand it.
