It was dumber than that, he didn't know how to V-Skill as he posted screenshots of the V-Trigger trophy that he earned but couldn't figure out why doing V-Triggers wasn't unlocking the V-Skill trophy.
Mind you, V-Skill is one of the things the game teaches you how to do during the tutorial that automatically plays the first time you turn on the game.
The same guy want Smash controls in SF and think SFV lack of sales is due to people who hate sexism and fan-service in fighters making a stand by not buying the game...
Reading through that thread made up for the lack of ATP this week,
What kills me about these SFV sales threads us that it somehow vindicates whatever crazy reason you want why the game didn't sell. There's people in that thread who believe that Blanka alone would have sold another 600,000 copies. Or "If SF4 sold extremely well on the 360 which was the dominant console in the West then it would have sold just as well on the Xbox One which is losing in every market."
I'm surprised we didn't get any "SFV needs to be on the Wii U to succeed" comments this time around.
Not even people that play VSAV want Capcom to make a new one.

SFV didn't sell because it doesn't have the the nostalgia factor of SF4
That is a reason and one of the more legitimate ones, yes.

Is it? Maybe there's some validity behind that blanka comment then.
The issue is there's diminishing returns to nostalgia, especially as the last game featuring Blanka came out 2 years ago. If SF4 didn't bring back every single character featured in the most popular iteration of Street Fighter ever then maybe their return in V would have inspired some more purchases.

No you don't. Most people mash with Right like retards then they get crushed and they die.
SFV is the WiiU of fighting games.

Es is going to be free for the first week for BBCF in Europe, just like in the US. Yay!
Imported a new pad direct from Japan to replace my Xbox S-Type after it finally kicked the bucket (been using that one since the launch of SF4).
Dpad is almost identical to the Saturn dpad except it's a tad more loose (makes it easier to do rolling motions). Buttons are great too. I like how all the face buttons are the same size, which is a problem i had with the Saturn controller. Not pictured: two shoulder buttons on the back.
Anyone looking for a fightpad comparable to the Saturn should definitely pick up the Seamic (Seaman 2) Controller (preferably the PS2 version since it has more buttons and is PC compatible out of the box).

They really should. I see the MKX mobile game in the top grossing apps for a long time.
SFV on mobile with some simple tap to do specials would definitely do well. Especially when it has the brand recognition. The way they ported SFIV was kinda dumb , those sort of games with touch screen joystick controls never really work well.
And using UE means easier porting to mobile platforms right?

My god. The folks in that SFV sale thread who want the game to be simplifed further
Maybe Cap aught to put out a mobile version for these folks.
Tbh they should just add the Easy execution mode thing from the earlier MVC games, which let you do specials etc. by just tapping attack buttons twice or whatever.
Would help casual players enjoy the game a lot more.

whoever mocked up that image used the wrong SF fireball to make a comparison with
It's called "low-cost" cosplay. I think accuracy was the least of their concerns.

If feel like if something is announced to be released early 2017 while its late 2016 then is probably going to be later. mid 2017

Is Avyd even a thing anymore? The last time I remember hearing about them was when Jebailey signed on.

It's never enough for some people.
I guess those people want removal of inputs and a block button.

The idea behind SFIV was to welcome back people alienated by the complexity of SF3. Then SFV gave them the middle finger and focused on the hardcore players. We see how well that worked.
It's a great game, but no one should be surprised at its commercial failure.
Block button actually makes shit more complicated.

That's quite a leap.

Not really. They removed most of the core cast, like SF3, and added new mechanics that were bound to baffle casual players, like SF3, and had very little outside of arcade mode... like SF3.
You get the idea.
Are you saying SFV is too complex, but SF4 wasn't?
Anybody watching Mahvel? This rotating commentary from actual players is great.
Coming from a game as massive as USF4 and it's no wonder everyone didn't take too kindly to a barebones product.
Complexity may have scared away potential new players (the same players who complain that a quarter-circle motion is too hard), but i doubt that's what scared SF vets since V's combos are closer to Marvel in ease.

Untrue
Also untrue
I'll give you this, but this isn't something that's SF3-exclusive.
You clearly don't.

I didn't have the intention of turning this thread into another version of the SFV sales thread.
Yeah. I feel holding back is far less of a commitment.
You've doomed us all.
This makes little sense when you consider that SFV is a lot less complex than SF4.

I disagree, I'm not a fan of V-Trigger at ALL.
Completely true. Guile wasn't in at the start, nor was E-Honda. SFIV had the core eight from the start.
