Looking forward to him, looks like a fun character. Is this still part of the kickstarted characters or will be paid DLC on release?

yeah, he's part of the crowd funded characters. They're working on Robo Fortune now which is the last dlc character from the campaign.

Every week, FGW will spotlight one GAFer to get a better picture of their history with fighting games, their preferences, and much more. For this week's FGW Player Spotlight, we will be taking a closer look at GorillaWithDandruff!

What fighting games do you currently play, what is your all time favourite and why?
I play pretty much every fg outside of NetherRealm games cuz they suck hot ass. Lately I've been playing mainly USF4 cuz EVO's comin up and it's the one I'm consistently always practicing and there ain't no rust in. I've been playing a lotta VF5 lately too for some reason.

Fav fg would have to be third strike. Everything about it is so damn sexy and makes my god damn mouth water. I still be bumpin tf outta Snowland when I'm driving on the freeway. Mmmmmmmm.
What are your favorite mechanics from the current selection of fighting games and why? What are your least favorite and why?
Don't really have a favorite game mechanic from the current fg's although roman cancels are pretty fuckin dope.

Imma be real original this spotlight and go with X-factor for my least favorite. Don't think I've ever seen that one mentioned.
What got you into fighting games? Are there any other genre of games you play?
I got into fighting games by being around my older brother and cousin. Growing up we didn't have a whole lotta money so fighting games were the perfect shit to occupy us for an assload of years. First game was ST and it was love at first sight.

I play a stupid amount of video games; hence why I'm on GAF :/ (although I'm realizing that strangely this isn't the case for some people here which confuses the shit out of me).
What is your favorite fighting game character and why?
I'm all about design and character. If a dude looks super badass or does some dope shit then that's who I'm using (sadly this often leads to me maining ass tier characters) but yeah specifically I've got a real soft spot for dudes that just hit like a motherfucking truck or just raw beat the shit out of you: Q, Yamazaki, Steve Fox, Iron Fist, Ganon, Potemkin, etc.
Describe your style of play, and how do you play (local, online, etc.).
I guess I'd be considered like an aggressive dumbass.
What do you feel are your biggest strengths and weaknesses as a player?
Impatience is biggest weakness. I think I'm good at noticing player tendencies cuz that's almost always how I win but literally everybody says that so who tf knows how unique that is.
Best and worst moments in the your fighting game career?
Best moment of my fighting game career was finally beating my bro in SF when I was a little kid. Shit was so god damn euphoric. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

Worst moment was the following match immediately after where he destroyed me and I came to the realization that he'd been sandbagging for the better part of like two years. Fuck you Aaron.
What do you want from future fighting games?
More cool characters.
Who should be on next week's GAF Player Spotlight?
yea idk who to pick so the nomination thing works out.
Since Dahbomb strongly encourages pre-orders, what games do you plan to buy that have been officially announced?
Haven't pre-ordered a game since like 7th grade.

Beowulf is coming out on Friday on 360, PS3 and Steam according to Skullgirls Twitter.
Can't wait to try him out. My top DLC character votes were really Annie and Beowulf. Robo Fortune is looking far more tantalizing to me than her fleshy counterpart, though.
Gorilla you get a thumbs up from me for not pre-ordering stuff.
Sometimes the hype can't be stopped tho. Never forget Digital River salt over MvC3 pre orders lmao.

I preordered MVC3 and got it more than a week early.

I disagree.
Wong almost got 6K viewers. //MAXCPM

I'm sad went to store to try to get a copy day before release (comes out 15th here) guy almost handed it to me but checkout machine would not let him sell it. ;_;

Edit: 6,400 viewers now.

My man!

This is my favorite SF character. Not his design look wise---he's sort of...lame IMO, but that fight style. It's just too sick.

I would LOVE for him to be in SF5. Now in the age of alternate costumes he could probably have a suit or ripped up suit alt and I'm set.

Otherwise, give me black or blue variant from SF3 and I'm golden. The Gootecks color is where it is it.

CRUSH! KILL! DIE!

AEGIS VORTEX FOR LIFE!

blue urien is goat

he's so great overall. love his moveset, love his voicework, love dishing out the aegis reflectors

Yeah I don't see Twelve making it.

I literally could see the entire cast except him making it back.

Sean, Q, Alex, Oro, etc. The only character who has just as crappy a chance out of 3S now is Remy since we have Charlie Nash in the roster.

So for the 2 Remy fans out there they can share your Twelve pain.

I also play Remy.

I think Alex, Q, and Urien have the best chances of returning in SFV, out of the 3S veterans that didn't already show up in SFIV.

I'd be mildly surprised if Oro shows up (though pleasantly so), and I feel/hope like V will have less shotos than IV did, and that Sean won't be one of them.

I also think Necro has garbage chances of coming back, as does Remy.
 

GeoNeo

I disagree.
I'd like to see the following cast from SF3 return.

1. Dudley: Always been one of the most hype characters and his play style is simply so fun. He would look amazing in that UE4. //Kreygasm

2. Urien: My boy got to get dat work. Hopefully they keep his metallic block sound fx in.

3. Alex: One of the coolest grapplers in SF. Sadly in 3rd Strike he simply could not hang with the top tier. ;_;

4. Q: Kuroda is single handily to thank for how popular Q has become..even for people that never even played 3rd Strike.

Fighting games are p2p, what do servers have to do with anything?
Still need to handshake with a server that facilitates matchmaking, as well as handles WBPlay stuff, persistent progression, faction progression, etc.

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";160019860]He's unique enough, but he's not actually that popular. Honestly I wanna see anybody with a faster walk speed at this point.[/QUOTE]

this is actually the reason why i don't think he'd make it in
isn't his entire character design basically built around having a fast walkspeed

i thought he wasn't popular either but looking at sf popularity polls he's like way above where i thought he'd be. basically hovering in the top 20 range when i thought he'd be real low.

Itd be great if Urien made it but im not holding my breath. As long as Blanka and Yun dont come back im happy.

can we do a FGW group viewing of the MK movie pls
Yes with stream chat.

I have seen the first MK movie way more times than I care to admit.

Though unfortunately the only things that haven't aged horribly are Johnny Cage's charm and that godlike soundtrack.

Want to make sure people don't cancel preorders

But yeah, I hope they can improve it somehow. As much as people hate on the online for SF4 and MvC3 they played a pretty substantial part in keeping players interested in the game for a long time
