Ehh... I think the whole "Zombie-Charlie" aesthetic looks hella stupid. He's got hair growing out of the patches for crying out loud. Doesn't look very interesting gameplay-wise, either.

And I'm starting to agree that the game is starting to look too slow. I'm guess I'm getting spoiled by Xrd. I really want to like SFV, because Street Fighter is THE ground-based footsie fighting game, but I probably won't even play this with those walk speeds. We've already had a slow-walkspeed SF, it's time to speed things up in that department at least a little bit.

Online beta pre-order is not a good look. Kinda worse than the character b.s we have been seeing lately since netplay is so important for some consumers.

Pre-order on Amazon, get your code, cancel pre-order. I did that for the Evolve beta, it's easy as hell.

How is a refundable five dollar preorder beta worse than eight dollar character DLC?

 

[SquirrelSoup]

I don't know what shield does,

Pushblocks, gives you more GRD and gives them more recovery iirc. If you get thrown or hit while doing it you get GRD broken.

 

[SolarKnight]

Tempting! How is the netcode?

I do want to steal some waifus.

If you can deal with Xrd netcode you can definitely deal with UNIEL netcode.

 

[Dlent]

Random thought, but I want Yun to ride his skateboard and Yang to wear his roller blades in fights for SFV. Unlikely to happen, especially if the game is super slow on purpose, but it would be fun.

Or you can pay absolutely nothing and just pre order it on Amazon.
Either way, its not a big deal.
Definitely not even close to $8 character DLC

 

[Azure J]

Yeah, I don't see it either.

 

[Tripon]

Pre-order Betas are dumb, but eh. Activision did a closed pre-order beta for Destiny and that was opened up eventually. Capcom will do the same thing for SFV, and if not, the game will come out eventually.

 

[The Light]

How is a refundable five dollar preorder beta worse than eight dollar character DLC?

Having good online is overall more important than a character for the masses. Yea 5 dollars is a paltry amount that you can get refunded, but why place it behind a barrier in the first place? This is limiting the amount of people that will test it.

I don't think he's actually supposed to be a zombie, dude. Just put back together and revived. He's alive, he's body just looks a bit funky now.

That's my take, anyway.

 

[Uraizen]

Pretty good and definitely better than Xrd's.

Well I'm sold, I find Xrd's netcode pretty good.

I guess I'm not the only one who thought that

I dun get it. Is this a reference to stalkers or something?

 

[CPS2]

SFV is definitely too slow for me. I'll wait and see how it turns out, maybe they'll have some new characters or modes that make things interesting but at the moment it looks like its headed in a direction I don't like. Still wish they went with a marvel style capcom allstars game but oh well.

 

[RockTurtle]

Damn...looks like Charlie hit the dojo and trained under Decapre and Rugal Bernstein. We got teleports and Genocide Cutter kicks!

give him the grab that slams against the wall and i'll main him 24/7

Agreed. Fuck slow walkspeeds.

Also, enough with the shadowloo storyline. Put that shit to bed.

Well, he has a slam against the ground.

 

[LegatoB]

Bought UNIEL to support anime games that aren't outdated by the arcade yet. Haven't tested online yet, hope it's as good as Persona/GG. A bit unfortunate that there isn't a comprehensive wiki yet to compensate for the lack of tutorial or anything. I don't know what shield does, or if backdashes have frame one invul, etc. Fortunately, this games feels like Melty in a lot of ways, especially in the fact that it seems a lot easier to play than the myriad of systems would suggest.

Watch these tutorial videos from the devs, they explain a lot of the mechanics and should suggest the "flow" of the game.

If he has a super version that summons giant skulls, I'll join you.

 

[Rhapsody]

UNIEL's still awesome to play. Not sure if I want to jump back into online right away though.

Netplay felt fine for combos because of the buffer I'm assuming. Neutral against Vatista, Hilda, and Carmine, not so much.

I really hope they change the walk speeds. My complaint in SFXT were the large stages. With even larger stages, I want better ground movement.

For the record, that Hina can go for some sick-ass rushdown, but apparently the japanese are not fond of going in in Yata (so far).

Yatagarasu is the game an SF fan should play if they complain of slowness in today's 2D fighters. They could play KOF too, but they'd have to relearn too much of what they like about SF.

I did say "aesthetic". Besides that, considering your interpretation, the description mockingly fits, anyway.

you play Viper

Yup. And my Viper loves her some foosies. Truth be told, whiff punishing with cr. Fierce is one of the most satisfying things in fighting games. Wouldn't even be plausible in SF4 if her walkspeed was whack.

I play a number of characters in SF4, actually.

Capcom looks really sensitive about the walk speed thing, there's absolutely no walking in the new trailer.

[SixMachine]

I think walk speed and jump speed will be something they will be definitely be testing and keeping an eye out for. IIRC during the loctests for Ultra (or whatever early builds that Combofiend was bringing to places) they were playing around with walk speeds of different characters and even Chun had a crazy fast jump for a while. So I think something like this definitely can be tweaked without doing any crazy revamps or past some point of no return where they can't change it anymore. I think a beta is definitely a great way to iron this out, since many people have said it looks and plays slower at this moment such as Daigo.

Got to give those cosplayers props, they have more dedication than most fighting game players. When you think about it, grinding out those knitting skills to make that furry Felicia bikini is way more practical than grinding out combos.

No one actually likes 2F overheads.

You. Hush.

I managed to beat 2GB's Carmine and Pain's Vatista before with her... Couldn't do it consistently though. Especially the latter when he used Hilda. lol

In the current time? I thought was injustice/mortal kombat if you don't count the four different iterations of SFIV all at once.

Of all time? That's Tekken 3.

Anyway who cares. I think SFV looks REALLY good. I can't wait to play it.

wasnt there going to be some big smash related announcement tonight?

[petghost]

We didn't even see walking in that trailer though... We just saw Charlie punching dudes and hella hitstop. I'm just assuming those kinds of things are in flux man.

Also just remembered that I hope they bring back charge partitioning.

 

[Kimosabae]

Walking's not featured in the trailer, but from what we've seen of the WS thus far - it's slow. I was premising that post on the notion that the game looked slow, in general, and just decided to harp on the WS.

 

[Spacebar]

I'm glad SFV is slow. Bring it back to the SF2 days. I'm too old to be playing these super fast 100 hit combo games.

I'm not big on the undead aesthetics or whatever the hell he's supposed to be, but he is by far, by FAR the most interesting thing about SFV shown thus far, gameplay-wise.

 

[Kimosabae]

But... He's just Omega Seth/Decapre...

 

[Rhapsody]

I'm really interested on how Bison will turn out in SFV. Hope they use this chance to change him up.

Make him Marvel Bison.
