Holy crap, this guy is awesome. Now I have three potential mains, and another coming next year!

Private video.
Wow, that looks annoying as fuck to fight.

Looks like Gouken vs Zangief, though at least this guy doesn't have horizontal fireballs or anywhere near Gouken's damage output.
The recovery looks way too damn fast on that move though.

I'd be surprised if he was really even 5'7". Mike Ross is a hobbit.

The poison mechanic kinda seems like bullshit. Luckily it drains pretty slow.

Annoying character to fight against but I love the banter between Ross and Combo. That stage also looks totally amazing.

Didn't even realise this character was revealed 5 days ago lol.
I actually think he's up there with Necalli as most interesting newcomer. Laura the most uninspired so far.

LMAO.........."The CAN killed me?!!". Always fun to watch those 2 play and F.A.N.G looks interesting to play, not my type of character but I'd like to give him a try.
Nah, his vitality is average (according to his stats). It's that his damage is so low in comparison to Birdie.
Gimmick characters =/= Zoner characters. Unless you think Dhalsim counts as a gimmick too.

"Who said SFV has no gimmick characters the other day?"
Fireball zoning is gimmicks now?

It would be so broken if it drained any faster. It looks like a solid mechanic more designed to put your opponent on tilt than to constantly be draining their health.

Fireball zoning is so 80's, b. We all bout that rushdown now.
Seriously tho, the post was a joke aimed at people who say fb zoning is gimmicky.
The arching projectile is a bit too spammy right now but I'm digging this character.
Yes. Be afraid.
I think just turning the health bar purple is enough, but showing the effect on the character does seem to add a sense of urgency that would be missing otherwise.

He's a big, slow target. Just about everything he has is also unsafe/punishable. Quick/high mobility characters are tough matchups. Chuns are my kryptonite in the beta. But play smart/patient, make a couple good reads and yeah... you're taking rounds.

So is a there a way to get out of the Poison status effect? Can you stack poison status damage? Like, if they're already poisoned, can you poison them again to double the poison rate?

Fang looks much better ingame that he did in the trailer..
Still very goofy, but the playstyle seems to be interesting...

You hit Fang to stop Poison effect.
The rate doesn't change I think, just the duration?

I don't think there is a duration to the poison. It lasts until you hit Fang. Also Combo says he's a charge character so you know I'm in there.

As a Chun Li player this sounds really, really fun. Love it when they give me a maze to go through.
I won't play as him, because he's too goofy for my tastes, but I can't wait to fight him.
Oh shit. I may have to change my mind!
Awww yiss.

Balrog being charge is based on a balance reason too. Charge isn't limiting. You just need to learn how to always stay charging.

F.A.N.G is definitely interesting from a gameplay perspective, at least.

Casual players who stink against online opponents won't like him much then. Many can't figure out how to bypass zoning efforts and will be forced to take him on. You can just spam your projectiles against them and make life difficult although not impossible.

That was a fun watch! FANG looks great! Will probably be the first character I play with on release.
Peter was going in way too much but I guess that's just Peter.

Ya... that last part's kind of a pain tbh. Also, getting crossed up sucks, and misjudging a charge and jumping up like a moron happens to even the best players. Charging is always worse than motion.
Balrog thing is debatable. I feel like there's nothing about his specials that warrant the charge motion. Frame data honestly not that good.

There's no fadc's to get through fb's anymore either.
Give it time. I suggest getting used to charge by playing Bison or Guile. There's a learning curve. I used to be like you. Now I'm pro-charge.
F.A.N.G makes me wanna main all of Shadaloo, so I may as well start with Bison then. Honestly, this may be a good thing because he's the first character that's compelling enough to make me wanna learn charge. At least now I won't have any issues playing the others (hopefully).
Nah, Charge is better. I very rarely have the problems you're speaking of, and if I do, I know it's my fault. Controlling space is part of the charge character's MO, and if you're consantly getting crossed, then you should look at why. Betting it has nothing to do with the moves and everything to do with the player.
If Balrog was a motion he could punish every attack on whiff from 3/4 screen away. That would be stupid as hell.
