Blanka sucks for real though- needs something.

Blanka is fine where he belongs - on a keychain.

I played Blanka in CVS2. It was a great experience.. but he's done after that.

I just want ONE character that makes me excited to play Street Fighter.

In a cast of 14, Skullgirls has one I love so much I learned two others to support her.
Smash has 2.
Marvel has...at least 5.
Guilty Gear has 1.
BlazBlue will have one eventually (lol).
Darkstalkers has 2.

Street Fighter had NONE. Not one character in its massive cast that interests me. Complete fail on Capcom's part. It might have the worst roster of every fighting game out there in terms of personal appeal for me. Even Tekken has more interesting characters.

 

[Professor Beef]

Mapping Taunt to down+HP+HK would get rid of secondary taunts for the characters that have them. You know nothing about Street Fighter, Karst!

And by the looks of that post above me, you seem extremely selfish about the game too. Even worse than me and ASW lol

When you say this, are you specifically relating to SF4 or you have found no one in the entire SF series to be interesting? NO ONE?!

He already tried Oni.

 

[Sayad]

He already tried Oni.

Evil Ryu then. ;p

Seriously though, Karst might like Urien. He have long combos, unblockables, nasty set ups and is the most bad ass SF character, he yells "kill" and "destroy" while attacking and hitting him while he's blocking sound like you're hitting metal. You have one job, Capcom...

has he tried Deejay?


its like playing SF on hard mode. really exciting tbh

Remember when people wanted to Ban Gouken and then Oni? Good times.

Pick boxer and hold down-back.. or Gief / Hugo and do whatever.



Can't tell you how many times people say "profound sadness" on the mic when they beat my Guy online..

everytime i play mesmerham i say profound ... ba...sadness!

I have extensively played SFII as a kid, and I played everyone. I played Ryu the most because Hadoken + Shoryuken made my friends rage, and they couldn't throw fireballs with my consistency. I also play Cammy because her pixelated ass was glorious.

I skipped Alpha and III, but I haven't seen anyone interesting in those games.

Shit character is shit. A downgrade from Akuma.

Edit: I actually just hate the SFIV meta right now. Playing a fireball game is extraordinarily irritating unless you are Guile. I don't think I could enjoy E. Ryu either. I don't find SFIV exciting in general, and I am hoping SFV is more interesting.

Chip damage on normals is a great decision.

Evil Ryu alt 1 fits the bill I guess.........

 

[vulva]

Shit character is shit. A downgrade from Akuma.

he's really good, not sure what you're talking about. Huge damage, interesting mobility, lots of mixup options. In terms of approach he's nothing like Akuma. Why even compare them other than appearance? That's like comparing Cammy and Decapre's playstyle.

 

["God's Beard!"]

I main a Pokemon in Smash, man.
Painwheel in Skullgirls.

I tend to like "creature" characters more than humans, though. Don't forget I was a Sentinel main in MvC2. I can be flexible if the character is FUN. I can't say I have ever had fun with a SFIV character.

Painwheel is basically a demon, but yeah your creature thing is what I meant. As for SF4, if you're really interested in the game try some characters you think are boring. I basically played the game off and on as a joke for 5 years, but recently I found out I really like ken and have been taking the game more seriously. I would never have thought ken was my character.

Sanford tries to hard, but he is playing gimped. Why pick Oni over E. Ryu?

Oni doesn't have interesting mobility. The air dashes are ass outside of looking for Raging Demons. You just lose screen position when using them. Sometimes you can Yolo tatsu out of them, but it isn't really a feature that defines his gameplay like it could.

I have games that are actually fun to play right now. I love Smash, and once I figure out Mewtwo, I will go back to mastering Zato. I am not desperate to play SFIV. I started this convo about SFV and how I hope it is more interesting than IV. Like I said, I have never had fun with IV. I don't think that will change.

I don't consider Painwheel to be a demon. She is a tortured girl.

He wanted to play Oni like a Zoner iirc.

Which I actually ended up doing the times I got him in random select for casuals. His buttons feel janky and weird after Ken.

I'll cosign, his air dashes are crappy except to bait dps and lose scree nn. Way too much recovery

oni originally had an ex airdash he could normal-cancel out of.

3s probably had far more of a selection for you. Urien, Q, Twelve, and Necro are all interesting and bad ass characters.

Of course, I played Yun in 3s because I loved kara palm and keeper jin combos.. I like combos and rush down style - aesthetics are a close 3rd though.

I'm hopeful that SFV will have less throwbacks (save it for free DLC sales) and take some risks to bring something new to the table.

You can't even punish the DPs you bait. Too much recovery on the air dash.

Yeah, I did want to play Oni like a zoner. I get that it isn't a good idea. I tried playing him rushdown, but it wasn't fun.

Isn't Urien just missing a shirt?

Yeah, I could see myself trying Necro. I just want more interesting options besides 30 guys in gis. Even KoF has more variation...

I don't like Sanford's Oni. Wao plays a pretty interesting Oni and a local player called Italdan does a great job with Oni as well. Plays a strong footsies game and knows how to go in. Uses the air mobility to avoid DPs and bait them, uses the slam to blowup crouch techs etc. Mobility isn't limited to just the air though, the slash is also a factor which can contribute a lot to his mixup game.

But seriously though, his damage is nuts. I think he's a pretty good character overall. I don't get the "why play him when there's eryu or akuma" approach when, frankly, he plays like neither.

 

[mbpm1]

Basically its only going to work if your opponent does heavy dp. And out of that you just get a towards fierce most of the time. I like that button as much as anyone but that's pretty eh a reward for baiting.

...He has a suit.. briefly.. Necro is missing a shirt, too!

Makoto was also neat for a bit but I only played her for kill combos D: Oh, and Oro!

As great as I felt Necro was, I also felt he was a fairly high execution character (strange coming from someone that likes Yun) but those Necro corner juggles were a pain.

His neutral is pretty similar. That is what I care about. Mix up differences aren't defining traits for my character selection. I played enough Oni to know he isn't fun. None of Oni's unique special moves really make a difference in the neutral. Except for hard reads with Demon Slash M against projectiles, which aren't usual.

His palm (I think it's towards fierce?) is pretty solid in the neutral. That's definitely unique too.

Blanka U2 is pretty much unblockable

Huge startup. You can counterhit him out of it most of the time. Probably my favorite move of his stylistically, though.

Tell that to these guys. I am okay with it.

Blanka U2 is pretty much unblockable

I go double ult so I have cheap chip kills up close and far away. I have only found the opportunity to combo into U1 once in my time playing him. U2 fireball punish would be great, but you have to do it as a hard read.

I can see why a MvC2 fan wouldn't enjoy 3. The gameplay is a downgrade in some significant ways.

Yeah.. I was really into the whole reset / mixup game of it and was a huge fan of MVC2 Sentinel with the re-fly stuff and whatnot. The game just oozed a certain style and speed and the only limits were your hands. It just feels too "easy" to 100% in MVC3.

[Kimosabae]

To appreciate Oni you have to appreciate Street Fighter in general. He's a fundamental Shoto with burst damage capacities and some not-so-solid, but fun gimmicks and that's it. His fireball is essentially his cr. MK, so his neutral's not as solid as the other Shotos, but that just makes him more rewarding to play for me. I think he's a solid mid/upper-mid that rewards dedication to the character and fundamentals with satisfying combo routes. The fact that E. Ryu exists is meaningless unless you're looking to be competitive.
