Balrog is going to be in the Street Fighter V June update on Friday

Rog looks sick, unfortunately I can't play charge characters so that leaves me out all of the DLC characters released so far lol. Looking forward to jumping back into this game Friday when the story drops.
 
Sagat tease?

I don't trust him but this needs to happen .
I don't play Sagat or Akuma but they need to be in the game.
It's just to much fun fighting against them plus they bring the hype .

Haven't played this game in a long time sounds like a good chance to give it another shot, boxer was my main in sf4, and he looks great in the trailer. Still have to use joy2key to play though, has capcom said anything at all since launch about them implementing direct input device support?

I'm talking about native support for a fightstick that works for PC and PS3.


I don't think Capcom has officially provided DirectInput support yet (major bummer), but I found that the SFV community has patched in DirectInput support themselves. I haven't tested it yet, but I've seen people recommend it on Reddit.

LOL, they didn't even edit the names for the Kings of Shadaloo for the quote from the grunts.

Well, can't blame them too much, because it's confusing as heck lol.

TBH, I'm surprised they're even translating this site at all. All this deep lore, character profiles, rare artwork, etc. on this Shadaloo site would have never been translated in the 90's. Heck, it wouldn't have been translated in the SF4 era.

I'm glad they're now taking their universe seriously enough to actually make it accessible to the West.


Man why do the women in these games always get shit health? They don't even hit hard.

Laura has 1000 health.

And, after 4 months, the thought of Karin, Mika, Chun, or Cammy with 1000 health is frightening. Chun might even deserve 900 rather than 950, IMO.

Female characters have

Some of the best buttons in the game (chun, karin, cammy)
Versatility (laura projectile/grappler, chuni footsie/rushdown)
Speed
Jump arcs (chun li, cammy hooligan/dive kick, laura lp elbow cross up)

It is because they excel everywhere else. Imo.


And like someone mentioned above. Laura isnt gimped so she needs to be nerfed. :3

Cammy needs 950 total stun. She gets killed if she gets touched.

And Her Dive Kick is easily counter-able because the hitbox on it comes in so late.

These. I don't understand why Alpha 3 is so popular over Alpha 2.
Because Alpha 3 is better than Alpha 2!! But seriously it's probably because it's the last one of that series and because Alpha 3 has been ported more than Alpha 2 so more people have gotten a chance to play it.

Alpha 3 is more popular because most people care more about the huge roster and not how the gameplay falls apart at a high level.

Alpha 3 is garbage if you play it competitively.

What do you guys think they can do to Sagat to give him a refresh or do they give him the Ryu treatment?

Make his scar light up (he holds it like in sf4). Tiger mode: he fucking can throw out tiger shots high AND low simultaneously. And here's the kicker - he can fucking throw them upward too like gouken. So all THREE directions at once! No ones getting in there.


Im talking full on bullet hell. Seal the deal. Make it a minigame. Because right now, there is no way in hell you can outzone a good guile without breaking the game. So this is all sagat can do to up guile.

Thanks.

I wouldn't call it "garbage". However, yeah, at the top level it seems like it is mainly a game about poking and prodding until you land something that you can combo into your TOD Vism combo.

However, it should be mentioned that those combos are not crazy easy or anything. So, it really is only a problem for people at the top level. Most people playing Alpha 3 with their friends will have a great time.

Who says he has to up Guile via zoning? He's a Thai kickboxer. Give him good fireballs, maybe give him some grapples with some knees, etc. There are a lot of ways to interpret the character.

They should save Akuma for season 3.

If they put all the super popular characters that are missing in the next season then it will be a VERY boring season.

I am hoping we get some interesting choices in the next season. Most importantly, we need some Final Fight representation.

That video was great. That guy has so much speed.
Not only that, it's a great video that legit describes how to interpret the style of fighting Sagat uses. Sagat doesn't HAVE to be a zoner. Yeah, his fireballs are part of his game for sure, but... I wouldn't be surprised to have him have some other tricks up his sleeve that don't rely on him exclusively having a zoning game.

I think the 2nd season is where you really need to maintain hype and the growth of the game. A character like Akuma is a perfect headliner. Returning characters in the next season need to have a lot of impact and/or diversify the game style, and for the same reason it's a good time to introduce a new character and maybe some system updates. You're not launching a new game anymore, you need to be able to generate interest.

Once you hit the 3rd+ seasons and you've established that the game is here to stay, then you can start adding in the diehard fan characters like Q or some casual favorite clones like Sakura/Dan.

I fully expect season 2 to be something like this based on the logic above and in-game story related reasons:

Akuma (high demand)
Sagat (high demand)
Decapre (gameplay diversity/story relevance)
Oro (gameplay diversity/story relevance)
New Male Character
New Female Character
New system mechanic(s) + UI

Swap Decapre with Crimson Viper & I agree.

Sean, Viper, Oro and Azam all seem likely for S2 just based on relative prominence.

I still don't think more than 4 characters happens next year. I don't think Oro will make it because he's probably not that important. But we'll see how their Story Mode shakes out. I expect character deaths, personally.
