I think Capcom really needs to clarify EXACTLY what is in this update before people start getting their hopes up over fanfiction wish lists.

They already did?

The only thing people aren't certain about are daily challenges since IGN are the only ones who mention them.
 
Bengus is a good artist but he clearly doesn't work well with a strict time constraint (or potentially just doesn't give much of shit about the art in this game). Many lesser artists can do more with less, so the time constraints don't sound like a good excuse for the embarrassment that is the SFV story art.
 
Yeah but what blog post says stage interactions? I'm saying that in a gaf list.

We already have seen at least 1 stage that is going to be featured in the story mode that has a new stage interaction/extension that isn't normally featured (City In Chaos now extends into the bank on the far right side). So obviously, something is going to happen to current stages we've already had our hands on, at least in the story mode. It could be those extensions/interactions won't be made available outside of story mode, or that they'll be patched into non-story modes at a later date, but we are obviously receiving way more in the way of stages in this patch than we originally thought.

Going into CEO, we thought the only stages we'd be getting were the 3 alternate stages (Shadowloo Helipad at night, Kanzuki Estate Daytime, Forgotten Waterfall at night). Turns out, we're not only getting 1 premium stage, we're getting 2 premium stages come friday, one of which was revealed this morning as well as a premium costume we hadn't seen before (Swimsuit Karin, Beachfront Kanzuki Estate). And we have one news outlet that might've let slip that daily challenges are launching this friday as well.

Suffice it to say, at the very least, there is a real possibility we do not have the full breathe of changes that are going into friday's patch quite yet. Considering we have both Winner Stays On tomorrow & Capcom Pro Talk this wednesday, I imagine we'll get a Balrog showcase & even more revealed regarding Friday's patch.

Considering the story bridges the gap between sf4 and sf3, I think it's safe to say it's more or less going to be about the fall of Shadaloo.

Hell, even the name of the story is "A Shadow Falls." (See what they're doing there?)

Nonsense. Shadaloo will never fall, Lord Bison will rain death on the entire world!

He was asking for a new artist which wouldn't change anything if the circumstances are the same. Its not an artist problem. Its a time/quantity problem. Not sure what you're going about and how it relates to what I'm talking about.

I'm not buying the time excuse for the bad art... it's been 4 months and only 2 DLC characters released with less than 10 screens of artwork each character. An average comic book is 32 pages and those are cranked out on a monthly basis.

I know it's hard to accept Bengus might just be a bad artist now... but Kinu, Ikeno, Edayan... I feel could have done a lot better. I really hope 2017 they switch to a new artist... or give Bengus a week for every single frame of story if he's that slow these days.
 
so what do we know about Balrog?


Is he still footsies based or is this rushdown time?

headbutt is a v-reversal now... so headbutt into super/ultra or as an invincible wakeup is no longer a thing

turn punch is a v-skill that no longer requires holding a button... so it can be done on reaction (well as much as one can react with 8 frames of lag).

Here's a glimpse at Balrog's story (including what's likely Urien's story alt & confirmation that the white suit w/ gold gloves will be Balrog's story alt).

Hands to challange D. Trump('s). The art is beyond terrible.

This is the same guy that did the art work for mvc2 if I am not mistaken. Obviously he knows what he is doing. He was probably rushed.
I didn't really like his newer MVC2 style either (*much* preferred the style he pioneered during his Hyper Fighting~Alpha days), but it was less noticable because the art was cropped in-game.


His SFV work could stand to use a bit more detail/shading. It would probably come out looking quite similar to MVC2.

Juri just needs an alternate Jolyne colour scheme.

Yo, what's up with Capcom's long history of ripping off Jojo designs?

Juri's bare skin looks trashy. I never liked the outfit in the story mode art. The black latex is a huge improvement, and not because it's conservative. The black adds a contrast to the pink/purple that makes the outfit "pop."

From a pure design/aesthetic perspective, it is the superior version. There is still little left to the imagination.
 
I don't know why you'd pick this game to make that point, even though it's generally true. This Season Pass gets you 6 pre-specified characters that will cost 6 dollars each if bought separately, plus some other crap. It's a pretty straightforward transaction.

I do that for every season pass.

Balrog's Hands.... LMAOOOOOO

I hear Kinu is free right now...

Fixed, and, well...it's JoJo's man.

I really need to dive back into this game.

I'm sure this has been brought up, but would be classic if a mod change "on Friday" in the thread title to "that is actually in July"

The art could also just be the style he's going for. there doesn't always need to be some mass conspiracy about everything guys

This shit is honestly beyond awful. Maybe by S2 someone will do another pass at Bengus's abominations.

I'm hoping Urien's premium or story costume is his 3S skin. I'd ideally like every returning character to have his/her retro look, its just fan service that I really like.
 
SF4 juri to SF5 juri has to be the biggest downgrade of a character costume there has ever been in existence, omega disappointing.

Sucks about the change to Juri's outfit, but as I said on earlier SF V changes, I'm playing on PC and those changes are getting fixed very shortly.

Juri's redesign is godlike.
