What is embarrassing about her?

Mostly the crying and the strange decision to link her to a martyred Filipino nationalist author. The 'Filipino' elements of her design are also rather shallow, and suggest little understanding of the culture beyond what the Filipino flag looks like. Whoever designed Josie doesn't even seem to know enough about the Philippines to form a stereotype.
 
I think the doll in the background and the Shadaloo symbol on the guy's belt seals the deal.

It's a Shadaloo base and that guy has Shadaloo symbols on his gear.

Ah okay, I didn't know what the Shadaloo symbol looked like. I honestly also only learned about the dolls today. Seem to be a Shadaloo experiment. Creepy.

I forgot about her. I play on a stick, but if I were a pad player I would have no idea whether to get that or the Madcatz, they both look really nice.

Yeah, I just sold my Hori V3-SA stick for around $40 the other day, so I'm gonna go with pad now. And this one have been highly recommended by my fellows in the Tekken Community thread.

Learning to block properly is very important. Then learn about spacing, jump arcs and range. Then learn other tech. Start here: Watch this I would play all casual matches for the first three days. Not unlike Tekken you need to know most of the rosters arsenal to be decent.

Thank you for this. I'm gonna bookmark the video, and get around to it a few days before launch!

She's not really linked. All it is, is the name taken from José Rizal and that's it. They must have done something right, when they're thrilled about her in the Philippines, and so am I.

If I have both the PC and PS4 version, will everything I have be shared between the two versions?
 
Any new York heads get the word if any of the usual spots in the city have it?
One I know in Brooklyn by the Flatbush/Nostrand junction that might have it by tomorrow but he won't sell it to you unless he knows you well enough. He already got in trouble cause of the game stop around the corner from him snitching .

I'm saying they could have named her literally anything but they decided to go with Josie Rizal for some pointless cultural recognition.
 
I wonder who
Juni
is (probably another doll), but I hope to learn more about it when playing Street Fighter V.

I'm going back pages (went back 10 pages) and I can't seem to find the post which linked to all of the characters profiles and story background. Wanted to bookmark it.

Yeah, Juni was a doll. She was in Street Fighter Alpha 3 along with Juli (another doll).
 
Geez, F.A.N.G's had a hard life, and based on his fights with people he seems pretty damn strong too. He's not the joke character you guys were expecting him to be.

Birdie on the other hand is a complete weakling unfortunately.

She was playable in Alpha
 
The story art is shockingly bad. I thought IV had issues. It's not great for Bengus either who has some great stuff. Can't defend how bad it is... I don't think there's really any excuse. A fan artist could've done better and have been cheaper. Sure you lose the status of Bengus but if the quality was evidently poor, why carry on? A real shame. Wonder if Udon expressed interest (not that I love them either but it's better than this).

Anyway, still psyched for the game, terrible story art aside.
 
reposting since it got stuck to the bottom of last page

is the RAP4 a solid choice if I dont want to spend 225 bucks on a TE2, or should I really get the TE2?

I have the money for either but just don't know if I want to spend so much on a stick. I guess I could also get the shadaloo one...

the last stick I had was the smaller Mad Catz SF4 stick. the one that was like 80 bucks at launch or whatever. It was okay but I'd rather get a nicer stick
 

Her English voice acting is horrible... I love everything else about her but that voice is...

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Look at FANGs story mode first fight

Sagat is there in the 4 kings thing? Was his time in shadoloo longer than I know of?

I thought the same thing but it's possible the statue was just there leftover from SF2 since no one took his place in 4.

I had the same thought about Birdie. Didn't he leave Shadaloo at the end of the Alpha games? How could he have been with them all the way through SF2 and 4?

It's a perfectly fine choice. The only difference is that it doesn't have sanwa parts, and I'm not sure how much that matters outside of simply personal preference and what people are used to. I don't think Hori's parts are all that inferior, they just feel a little different

worst case scenario, you can always just change the buttons down the road

What do you have against grap-pa-ling-bud-dees?

Ya it's a horrible voice, one of the worst miscasts I've heard. Her Japanese voice isn't much better, but still more bearable than hearing english laura's recovery noise constantly.
 
Laura pronounced "Lora" is friggin racist! >8(
 
But if i remember correctly in alex ending there was some scenes with ryu and training no?

Here's the screenshots for Alex's SFIII 3rd Strike ending. I never really thought about it as Ryu teaching Alex the ways of Ansatsuken, more like the two of them dueling a lot. But, even if you take it as Ryu teaching Alex: Street Fighter 3 takes place after Street Fighter V, so Alex would not be able to use any techniques that he was taught by Ryu.

I think he's talking like an 8 match ladder where you fight a boss at the end. No idea why they didn't include that.
Ah, lmao I'm not sure why they wouldn't.
 
But if i remember correctly in alex ending there was some scenes with ryu and training no?

Not training just to fight, Alex pursued him since Ryu is quite legendary by that point. If you're into street fighter lore you should read Ryu's final it's a interesting take on providing an ending after 3s. The author ideas have been used in games like Karin,evil ryu and even Ryu's focus attack animation is from there.
 
Three one-round fights isn't arcade mode!



HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE THIS IN A STREET FIGHTER GAME
You're mad cuz im gonan rekt your waifu RMika with my Gief.

I'm switching to all Japanese voices immediately. Not all of the English VA is horrible, but the fact that they came up with really bad lines to make it match the character animations/lip sync makes it really really hard to listen to. "Grapp-ling buds" is too much.
