Missed these, wanted a Ken tut. Nice
Green Karin because I get to leave my opponents green with envy.
Yeah, 200k by March 31st is like the equivalent of a parent expecting their child to faceplant at the start line of a relay race at a school sports meet. If Capcom had even the slightest inkling that it would catastrophically fail like that all the Sonybux in the world wouldn't have gotten SFV greenlit. A real failure would be something like 1 million sold to customers by March 31st.
Any defense or argument is instantly better if it doesn't use EVO. Seriously, a super hardcore tournament is not the barometer for mainstream success lmao. Gotta nip this argument in the bud because other people are already using it in other threads and it has to be the most desperate one by far.
Discovered this video and hit the lab with Laura. Curious to try her out online tomorrow. It took a while to figure out the timing on this but when I finally nailed it lawd. This combo looks so fucking dirty
In case you guys missed this, vryu is doing some work on Laura: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXJOPGRCSgA
They're also patching in the cinematic single player around the time EVO happens and their DLC characters will be out, too. Of course it appeals mostly to the hardcore players, but that should get some fresh eyes on the game.
yea I just want to fast forward to June already lol. The doom and gloom of posters is somewhat robbing me of my joy since it's almost like people want it to fail. Capcom should have released this digitally only or something and called it SFV:Tourney addition. Then SFV releases in June at retail. There's no denying casuals make up a huge chunk of sales, but my goodness they trash you and turn their back on u at the drop of a hat. It's one thing for a game to not be good, but when u know the content you want is coming later, for the same price, why on earth wouldn't you just wait for that day? Instead of bashing the company for selling you "garbage"
Hmmm, I will try this, tried normal survival twice at release and I lost at #30 and #29, wasting an hour of my life. The difficulty spike for the last 3 fights is quite bullshit, considering you have to first deal with 20 minutes of boring and useless fights each time to get there; but I really want that 6th color for Laura. ;__;
No, it's actually a reasonable view supported by tons of years of average sales despite hundreds of tournaments and several EVOs for many new fighters over the years. PC/console ports, updates/expansions (hello ASW updates), netcode overhauls, single player content and normal marketing have all done more for sales than tournament performance ever has.
EVO and fighting game LTDs have until now had nothing to do with one another. If you want to talk about streaming popularity, tournament longevity and audience retention then you are free to talk about that with other posters, but my argument was simply about game sales and tournament having little effect upon them. I'm not talking about anything else.
Then the sales increase will rightly come from casuals seeing content that excites them, not tournament streams showing them that they'll forever be scrubs.
That's not exactly good for Street Fighter or future Capcom fighting games either if people take that advice to heart and it falls short of Capcom execs expectations come March 31st.
Well I'm saying it's a combined effort. Makes more sense for gaming outlets to report on it if the biggest tournament is happening and the actual single player is coming.
The points aren't the problem. One of those last opponents will hit you hard and you'll only get the "Low Health" buff afterwards. Then you're done.
Dissect the combo and do it in parts until you can get it consistently. Do sLP xx MK Tatsu until you're comfortable with the cancel window then add the extra sLP afterwards.
I can see that. Some people are just leaning too much on EVO when casual players have already looked at the launch package and said "no thanks". The big stuff that may bring in stragglers will be actual content for the game.
Pretty much
It's understandable that there is a backlash, but I more or less agree with Capcom that the future of the genre is "esport". It's all about finding that balance between having the casual support so you can earn your money back and make profits and competitive support / longevity that Capcom enjoy. Best of both world right now is Smash Brothers, since it's selling 10 + million copies per game which permit a healthy competitive scene.Unlikely such SP concessions (fight a bunch of people and see cutscene, yay?) actually entice casuals to buy a $60 game and learn how to perform SRK. Showing my friends the diff between MK and HK was enough for them to NOPE out.
Yeah I don't know, I breezed through the first 27 fights, then got surprised when Dic started to block my offense and punish every unsafe move I did.
