zlatko and geoneo in one day. lol. I hope sf4 stays alive after 5 drops. it would be kind of interesting to see how it evolves after capcom stops patching it.
 
How's that any different from SFIV's?!
Would love to see SFxT's Tekken characters in a 2D fighting game again. They were way more interesting than the SF side.
They made most of the Tekken characters look mad stupid. Heihachi looked dumb, Law looked dumb, Paul looked dumb etc etc. Just a cartoony design from the jump tbh.

idk if I should say dumb, maybe goofy.
how long is the beta supposed to last for sf5?

also count you trying to get some work in on the weekend. have yet to play

Yea lets go, whats your name on PSN again?

SFxT's look for most of the Tekken characters were mad good. Overall, it gave even more personality to them. The only one I didn't like much design-wise was Asuka who looks more adult in Tekken. But Kuma in SFxT? God-tier design.

I'd probably due this only because I don't want to have to wait for it to ship lol

You'll receive it the same day it comes out. Sometimes you get the package a day earlier due to the expediency of the carrier. Don't worry about waiting lol

I would honestly like a reboot to the series. It had a lot of potential after the last patch but sadly all the damage had already been done ;_;

Part of me hopes that after SFV drops, people would be willing to loosen up and start making Edition Select the standard. Let all the best and most broken characters duke it out and try to have a little bit of fun since the game won't be the main attraction anymore. I had a lot of fun playing ES(first time in a while since he always wants to play seroiusly) with a friend this week while we talked about SFV and E3. But then again, I wouldn't blame most people still playing USF4 if they just want to stick with the most updated version without all broken and crazy shit from Omega and the previous versions.

How they played aswell

Hopefully if x sf happens it makes the sf characters look good too

I dig the SF5 select theme, thing is it sounds more like a stage theme to me. I'm getting a mid-fight-music vibe from it. Also, its best for Street Fighter if SF4 dies out once SF5 drops. You want all the players investing time in SF5. Pros, casuals, streamers - everyone. I say this because SF5 has the potential for the lowest player base. Not released on XBox and supposedly not coming to arcades.

I strongly feel Capcom should ditch SF4 as its focus post-2015, it should remain a side game with no major investment. What else is there to see from SF4? The meta-game is what it is. It had its time, people should now be encouraged to jump to 5.

Birdie actually feels like he's got a lot of influence from him now that you mention Kuma.

What? They got rid of all the unique identities of each fighter into the generic English/JP character by taking out their ability to speak in their native tongue.
 
"SF4 must die so SF5 can live!"

Nah that's BS. But SF4 might have its dedicated few for awhile. Don't expect many streams of it after SFV comes out.

That would be cool. The stakes are low now, so go all out with vanilla Sagat and hold nothing back.

I bought SF4 enough times already along with its upgrades D:

Agreed but many are chasing the comp/money. I think Evo 2017 is a stretch but it should do better than mk9 post-Injustice imo.

My characters for a hypothetical ES tourney would be USF4/Omega Evil Ryu, AE Yun, and Vanilla/Omega Seth. So I'm not playing fair even if everyone else is lol. The Omega Seth splash is just too fucking god like lol. I don't think my friend and I have ever laughed so hard when I started spamming that move against him.
 
Why wouldn't I just play Omega Gen

They removed that a little while ago, so the infinite is gone. Don't know about other characters but I tried Omega Evil Ryu for the first time in a while and found out that he also got nerfed. Probably during that same update where they took away the Gen infinite. They removed hard knockdown from axe kick juggles and took away some extra juggle capability he had to tone down his damage a little. Surprised me that they even cared considering that it seems like no one is playing it, meaning no one is complaining about it.

Oh lol, thought it was still in. Guess I haven't played Omega mode since like the beginning of the year

If only they didnt release Omega with that Gen infinite or released a hotfix to remove it quickly, maybe people would still be messing around with Omega mode.

Omega or Edition Select in ranked would be nice too. Going to agree though, would love to see more edition select tournaments.

That's like the least important way to emphasize a unique personality and identity. You get far more by emphasizing physical aspects or personality traits than you would just changing what language they speak in the game.

Agreed.

I always got the impression that Capcom wanted to have SFxT alongside SF4. It ruined its own chances with the DLC nonsense, gem nonsense, and some of the gameplay. Really unfortunate because the 2013 version is sooooooooooooo good.

It still has a ton of problems it needs to solve if it wants to become good.
