Ya SF5 is looking super slow atm. Hopefully we see it speed up in real matches.

Is it due to character balance? I thought in Melee that Fox/Falco win like everything or am I mistaken in that any character could win a major event ?

Maybe that's the reason some games just die out. Without a great balance people just drop it because their main can't hang and grinding seems pointless unless they pick up a pocket top tier or switch mains to a top tier.

Imo its balanced quite well. Fox and Falco are good, but a significant amount of the cast can punish them crazy hard. They are glass cannons through and through. Sure it isnt perfectly balanced, but there are about 10 or 11 tournament viable characters out of 24. I think thats a pretty good ratio for a game thats 14 years old.

fucking MK10 is about 5x snappier than SFV at this point.

think about that.

At this point, SFV is still in development. Try to remember how janky Marvel 3 looked at the start. Stuff like hitstop was tweaked for that game. First build had practically none. I wouldn't be surprised if the hitstop for this wasn't final or just for show at the moment.

Also helps that Melee pretty much gets player drama every year. Seeing people like Hbox, PPMD, Leffen, Axe, Amsa, Armada, and etc make an impact over the last 7 years keeps things fresh.

I still remember the blog Fanatiq wrote about what he hated in Marvel 3 and how much the game changed from then. (didn't change based of his blog but from development)

I know better than most that things can and will change. I pretty much prefaced my original post with that implied sentiment. SFV just isn't doing anything for me yet.

But TBH, my expectations are low in terms of what I actually want from the game.
 
Right now is the best time for some new blood to win EVO in Marvel. The gods have never felt weaker going into EVO IMO despite them basically winning every major tournament of the year thus far. I know this sounds weird but I feel that going into EVO a lot of specialist players are going to grind more than the gods who will be practicing for the other games. Upsets will occur.

Or maybe FChamp is just throwing everyone a curve by saying "I am totally not going to practice Marvel for EVO lulz" and then grinds it out and wins EVO again.

No one cares about Marvel bruh!


Let it die pls... I want Capcom to be forced into a new VS game.

Yeah, I think that's fine too. I'm sort of in the same boat as well, but I will admit that the possibility of what SFV could be after some tweaks get me excited. I just hope they follow through and things turn out well.

If the game basically turned into a stealth Vampire Hunter in SFV (no way this is going the Savior pace with current footage), I'd be really happy.
 
The only two things I want with SFV are:
More aggressive gameplay.
More varied and interesting movesets.

I feel like chip on normals accomplishes #1.
Charlie and Bison show that #2 is happening.

I am pretty pumped for this game now.
 
They announced 3 of the teams competing in Topanga's Charity Cup.

ZeRo's trying to create drama for Smash 4, but it comes off as him trying to force it lmao

however, given the responses I think it's going nowhere

Damn son you played SFV already? Give the deets!


Stuff like hitstop was tweaked for that game.
I know what you were trying to say there but that was a bad example to make.

Hit stop was actually low in Marvel 3 early builds and because of that combos looked faster. The change to hit stop in that game was actually for the worse because of stuff like Zero and Vergil combos.
