lol mbpm1, im an 09'er or something like that. i got into sf with super.

what i find odd is what EpicNameBro said that it would be a love hate thing with the game. i think it'll cater greatly to the hardcore audience with the way its shaping up. Ono has shown that he has been listening to the community by changing that god awful low mk animation lol

There's this SF statue collector who's almost sure that Alex and Oro are part of the SFV roster. He seems to be well versed in how corporation operate to plan ahead in terms of merchandising.

Alex wouldn't surprise me, as he's been a constant request in the SFIV era. I wonder if his presence in V would bring along Hugo...

So...interesting. On the other hand, Rice, this does seem to be a game with longer hitstop, so you may be able to in the end. Although if the build at E3 is different than Idk
Really hope they nerf the hitstop. That's the no. 1 I don't like so far

Blanka
Hakan

Evil Ryu
Blanka
Oni

im so fucking hyped to try out sfv at ceo. fuck vulva for getting that instant access at e3

i have disappointed you ;_;

I also have E3 access. I'll be back to report on things after I get a chance to play a few times.

Personally, I love huge hitstop. I love hitting buttons hard too.
Though the last time I played a game at a Capcom booth, they didn't secure their joysticks, so I was slipping and sliding the arcade stick all over the place. :(

id say urien is a shoe in or dlc cause the illuminati will definitely be involved with how charlie got reconstructed and has a gem on his forehead, resembling that of uriens. i really hope the story is long as fuck so i can appreciate it in its glory. sf lore shines well until you realize all the fuck ups the games have done...

I came aboard that vanilla SF4 train a little before you.

It doesn't matter WHEN you find Street Hitter, but that you did.

So mad my flight was cancelled. I now leave at 7am which means, I have to be at the airport for 5 which means I leave at 3:30 which means I'm not sleeping

Return of the stun bar is huge. If theres one thing better than cornering and bullying someone its feeling their panic rise as the stun bar grows.
I hope Urien and Oro are back...but Urien would feel so alien without Aegis.

Really hope Oro is in and intact. You'll wish blanka was in instead lol

Naw. I liked playing against and as Oro in SF3. Great character.

SF3 introduced me to Urien, Alex, Oro, and Q. Most fighters I find 1-2 I like and can play. That game went above the call of duty with 4 very unique characters that I enjoyed messing with.

I'm not going to stop begging until Urien is confirmed.

Urien or riot

Here here!

#CrushKillDestroyArmyUnite

Hopefully his gameplan is unchanged and he gets good frame advantage/hit boxes. His footsies game needs to be on point, and he needs to be able to Aegis you into crap your pants mode. :D

I hate Blanka and his stupid hop and slide. I can deal with the Blanka balls.

dude, we're lucky blanka's mixup balls were nerfed so hard with delayed wake up lol

Really hope Oro is in and intact. You'll wish blanka was in instead lol

i think they might change him up. idk, depending on the ending on the time skip, they may give him his arm back. i doubt it though since he specifically states it would take 15 years for akuma (?) to reach his level. im hyped for oro cause the dude is just a monster lol

I see you haven't played an oro with a stocked sa2...

Can't really think of anything it would add. But if they do hopefully they give him of something interesting. He's already stupid good, except his normals are slow.

Wait until you get Oro unblockabled in 3S.

Tengu Stone? Yes I have.

It's his best super by a long country mile considering he has set ups for 70% damage anywhere on screen once it hits. :/

Played Oro---not as much as Urien or Alex, but played him. Great character.

It's not like Capcom is going to give him the 70%+ damage in SF5 lol. If they do then Urien better get unblockables back and build meter hella fast to Aegis like a baws.

I can't imagine a universe where Karin comes back but Sakura doesn't.
 
urien without unblockables is weird... I mean his zoning was meh, he had some good normals, but even then.

I mean before people found out how to use aegis, urien was considered bad (and people used the shoulder tackle super lol)

i think Aegis would be good in any game even if it didnt lead to a ub. its like 6 seconds of mix up potential on wakeup and huge screen control in neutral.

I don't see why they would take them out? He sucks without them and it's not like people could escape them with parry lol. Blocking is better.
E- mean the activation on knockdown. There's definitely situations that are 100% fucked without parry.
Tengu Stone? Yes I have.
Yagyou dama. Much better super in most situations. Though both are top 5 in the game imo

Expected a video showing every 1-frame link possible.

These are godlike. Loved Gen vs. Akuma.

My favorite SFs aren't link heavy. :)

A2 is my personal ST. A3 would be above A2 if not for vism stupidity. Miss the personality of these games, the stages, the characters, the intros.

I don't care about story in fighters, but I've been playing SF for so long, these characters are nostalgic for me. Comforting. I would eat up a story mode in SF. This kind of stuff is what I miss. Hoping it returns in 5.

I'm loving everything I'm hearing about the game so far. Can't wait until tomorrow.

No one 100% loves a fighting game, there always a few grievances. Even developers put in things they dont want/like but the game is better for or makes it appeal to more.

Huh... I never saw that one used in high level tournaments by Oro. Was Tengu when I watched it.

I just looked it up online, and that shit is rough... Seems very hard to do, and you need all 3 bars filled? Damn...

Read up and it looks like it doesn't work on Yun and Akuma?

I still favor Tengu here, but if you have the set ups and execution down then that would be scary against the majority of the cast.

Still would rather play one and lose to THAT, then 100 blankas spamming slide, elec, balls, throws, etc. Fuck that shit.
