Infiltration who already played more SFV characters than he did in the first four years of his SFIV career?!

She's a wonderful character, and arguably the most honest one in the game but the V-Trigger rekkas is something I can just never get used too
For all the talk Capcom has given of wanting characters to play different and players being able to "express their playstyle", Capcom has also put in a staggering amount of changes to ensure characters play exactly the same.
They've added such a unique character in the form of FANG for Street Fighter. Both in terms of visual design and in terms of playstyle.
But then they buff his mixups and his frametraps and even add the ability to cancel into specials without charge in V-Trigger. Just so to make him better at this mixups and setups. For a game where half the cast already has potent sideswitch shenanigans, resets and setups, FANG honestly didn't need to be one of them.
To be fair, maybe that was the direction they envisioned for the character from the start and now they're going all the way. But it just makes those of us who play characters because we enjoy a particular way of playing them seem left out.
What's the point of playing FANG anymore if you like playing defensively when you have Guile who does everything better, and Dhalsim who can also accomplish the same goal.

Ricki should switch to Sim. He has long range pokes, a slide that can be V-trigger cancelled, gale is just like air legs in S1, a jab AA and a throw loop.

Infiltration had 5+ years to learn all those characters, it's way easier to pick up characters in SFV
Also, and this might sound crazy but... Yea, better damage than Chun.

Some characters really do have some great tools, but they're just really imbalanced in a sense so they end up being pretty low tier. Fang can deceptively cross you up, can AA super reliably and is surprisingly strong up close against mid level players and below, but he still doesn't get much use. Nash is pretty garbo, but his AA game is on point and those smart enough to know how to use his normals make him look like the SF equivalent of Apollo Creed, but his v-reversal and air normals put him down at the bottom. Some others have similar issues. Capcom just has their own internal idea of how they want certain characters to play and players are forced to accept it or use someone else.
Pick Cammy already
I'm never going to drop Karin, but I've been looking for a second since the very start of this game. So far I've gone through Alex, Guile and Ibuki, but I might just end up going with Balrog's semi busted ass lol. Now I just gotta get that 100K FM.
lol. This nostalgia for SF4 is amazing.
You dash in > you get bopped by the jump
You use a forward moving attack > you get bopped by the jump
You throw a fireball > it misses and you don't get meter
You use a v-skill > it misses and you don't get meter
You do nothing > you can't punish it most of the time
You use a normal from far range > you miss and don't chip their grey life
no reason not to
This is the truth. If someone beats me with a good read, or fools with a mixup I've never seen before, or straight outplays me, I'm not upset. I usually give props. It's when someone has some weak strategy that they do over and over again that you can't figure out, or does something so fucking stupid that you don't see it coming. That's when the rage comes.

Any nostalgia I have for SF4 is entirely due to it's roster and not it's gameplay.
I do miss Ibuki.

I'm just waiting for S2.5 now...I still watch all the pros though, just wasn't in the mood to relearn my Ken or try a new character so took a break to get back to my SP games.
I mean, we finally got the Thailand stage, so hopefully the Alex & Ibuki Nostalgia Costumes won't be too far behind.

That's typical Capcom now. You either play the way they want you to or you lose. No room for diverse play styles or strategies. Every player must play the same way.
Tell that to Luffy and KnuckleDu who both play Mika differently. Same with Tokido and Snake Eyez with Akuma. I could go on.
Squeezing blood from a stone doesn't mean it's not a stone, especially if the designer has said he wants it to be a stone.
You forgot fuudo tho

I only miss Cody and the benchmark tool SF4 has.
I miss Cody
At this point we might have to fool Capcom into thinking we want Chun to have a 3S Ibuki alt. Then we can use mods on PC to let Ibuki use her nostalgia costume that way.

Yep. Even then, roster meant nothing if the gameplay bored me.
Still, I miss Cody.
The cycle continues.

Capcom's a middle tier Company always on the verge of rising out of their own mediocrity, only to shoot themselves in the foot, they will never be a juggernaut, as long as the current regime at Capcom hold the same dumb ass views they will never see beyond their own shadow...

Watching Fuudo play Mika almost makes me wanna pick her up.
But I'm so bad with grapplers.
That's what people were saying when Mika was reigning supreme in Season 2.

How to shimmy in 6 words or less!
The gospel truth right here.
Give me Alpha 2 gameplay with alpha 3 roster and I would literally never need another SF game, ever.
Which alternate timeline are you from?
when you try to grab that solid gameplay but you're too far

Fam, are you really trying to tell me people didn't want Mika deleted from the game in Season 1?

Actually alpha 3 is the be....
Well shit, this is entirely true.
I think you accidentally said Season 2 instead of Season 1 in your post earlier.
Mika hasn't dominated anything except the trash dump in Season 2.
Nope, I'm not really trying to tell you that.
*Thumbs up*
People were catching feelings about Mika last year. Time sure flew by, though.
