Street Fighter V |OTVII| New Generation - Connection To Haters Was Lost

Yeah, the only female to get the short end of the stick was Ibuki, who has only 2 premium costumes. So it's not just female but big boobs, specifically.

Kolin has the same number of premium costumes, and she just got released.
I hate to be that guy, but Ibuki has large breasts.

Mike is hilarious he needs to do more dumb shit. At least you can watch Floe's stream for his brand of stupidity still.
 
That's exactly what tiers are. How else do you measure tiers if not with results?


I'm not really into to tiers but if a really good player picks a mid level character then all of a sudden that character isn't so bad anymore. Rashid was considered the worst character for most of season 1. Until all of a sudden he's actually pretty good when a guy shows up at a tournament and wrecks a bunch of people. It's too fluid to put much stock into it.

Edit- on the flip side. People will argue that Laura/Balrog aren't top tier because they havent won all the tourneys. This was the Chun argument in season 1.

I wish Mike would just do a show of his own. But he wants to compete so I don't doubt that he thinks one show - Excellent Adventures - is enough right now. Plus it would be more work compared to just walking into the Twitch studio and having Adam take care of everything.

Mike on Excellent Adventures has been frustrating to watch. The last few episodes, he keeps complaining that Kolin's vtrigger "only combos sometimes" with d.mk, not realizing the first and second vtrigger ice wave have different combo properties (because only the first one "freezes" the screen, pun not intended).

What's even more frustrating is Gootecks is right next to him with this "durrr" face even though Urien (his main) has the exact same issue with his v-trigger. Connect the dots, man!

I had similar frustrations a few episodes back when Mike was using Zangief, complaining about how hard it was to stay in, while simultaneously not using EX SPD at all.

I think the playful ignorance is part of the show's schtick

This. This is the good stuff. Was that so hard Capcom?

Now don't stop. Keep going. Stripper outfits for all the guys. Then swimsuits.

The Gootecks solo in this one always slays me:

https://youtu.be/kQbUP5s1iCs

infinite double fireball and invincible dp's? That's an an awful idea.
I mean...Akuma is not so strong in this game that he can justify having the same crap health/stun he's always had, while also losing a bunch of his tools from previous games or having them locked behind V-Trigger. He can get some of the tools back by popping V-Trigger, yeah, but a) usually by the time he gets a full V-Gauge he's almost completely dead, and b) his V-Trigger runs out stupidly fast. Making it a two bar, or making it a three bar that runs infinitely, at least gives him a chance to get his damage before he gets killed.

And no, I don't think getting an extra 25 health in the new patch is going to be enough to alleviate the issues with his balance. Maybe if they gave him an extra 50-75 instead.

Excellent Adventures has been low key trash since V. I don't know if it's the way the game is set up online compared to 4, but I can barely sit through episodes now.
 
I wouldn't say large, but she has Cammy beat, so point taken. I was thinking about Mika, Kolin, Chun and Laura when I made that statement.
Comparative bust/waist/hip according to a random wiki:
R. Mika: 97cm (38"), 72cm (28"), 93cm (37")
Rose: 96cm (38"), 57cm (22"), 86cm (34")
Ibuki: 95cm (37"), 57cm (22"), 90cm (35")
Chun-li: 88cm (34"), 58cm (22"), 90cm (35")
Cammy: 86cm (34"), 57cm (22"), 88cm (35")

Obviously they've been "buffing" Chunners lately, but Ibuki is on the higher end. Laura and Kolin weren't listed on the wiki.

Now I hate you and myself.

Weird, Ibuki really doesn't look like she has that much in her outfits. According to that, she's supposed to be close to Rose-tier and that sounds completely off in my head.

But you're right, we should abandon this topic asap.

I think w/ Rashid, it's more like, people thought he sucked, but the game and character evolved and hey, he's actually really good. I think it's more that people are quick to declare something the gospel truth when tiers should be changing.

Tourney results shouldn't be the end-all, else we'd think FANG was decent just because of Xian, but results do matter.

I'm laughing so hard right now.
 
WHAT THE FUCK MAN, fucking Alex with his garbage win rate, garbage usage rate, ALL AROUND GARBAGE LEGACY gets a FIFTH fucking premium costume.

Meanwhile FANG is here sitting in his low tier corner pining for SOMETHING ANYTHING fucking table scraps at this point, and he's not gonna get shit.

Birdie is also here FUCKING WINNING RANKING EVENTS, being used and being generally a good character but he gets JACK SHIT.

FUCK YOU ALEX, YOU MISTAKE OF A CHARACTER. AND FUCK YOU CAPCOM FOR NOT TREATING HIM AS THE MISTAKE HE IS.

ALSO WHAT THE FUCK CHUN? Why does she get 2 FUCKING COSTUMES IN A SINGLE THEMED EVENT? And to top it off, BOTH OF THEM ARE FUCKING FANTASTIC AND SOMETHING THAT I WOULD GLADLY BUY IF IT WERE FOR KOLIN OR A CHARACTER I LIKE.

sorry needed to get that out of my system.

...more chun costumes. Why?

Luce, Dhalsim/Birdie/FANG aint getting shit unless capcom deems it's time to do a "wacky/goofy" pack.

"Hey! Aren't these characters hard to take seriously?! You'll just love their new chicken costumes!"

Dhalsim isn't even freaking wacky, he's one of the main characters in the story!

I have no idea what bubble these developers live in, I swear to Moses.
How will I hold it when I'm trying to hold all these costumes?
By realizing you paid over 24 bucks for them.
 
Your dedication to FANG is admirable, and even though I don't care for him, he definitely does get screwed in the DLC department, along with a lot of others.

Alex is not your enemy though. He's just got the hustle (and the body) that can make enough (gay) bank to infiltrate Capcom's all boobs agenda. The men of SFV need to stand together or get crushed by The Cheesecake Factory.

You're right.

Of course you're right :(

Problem is that in this thread alone we've seen awesome suggestions for FANG. Plague doctor FANG (courtesy of Ryce), Nerd student FANG.

Iboobki. Sorry I had to get my James Chen pun in there.
Sounds russian.

The worst part with FANG not having the alternate costume is that what few alts he does have suck. Balrog only has one premium costume, but it's slick as fuck so there's less to complain about.
 
Exactly. The only good costume is his default and granted he has multiple awesome colours for them but it's just not the same.

Same situation with Birdie IMO. His premium costume sucks and his story is an abomination.

And Rashid's aren't that great either. They aren't ugly, just really boring.

Eight characters have just a single premium costume, and half of those aren't worth buying in the first place.
 
You're right.

He definitely deserves some more attention, just like all the rest of the guys who have yet to receive a DLC costume outside their initial Battle Outfit. (I even put forth a swimsuit idea for FANG awhile back in a past OT.)

The imbalance in costume distribution is really lame. Like I know Capcom wants to maximize profits, but Chun-Li getting two brand new outfits in addition to her numerous other options is dumb. And the lopsided focus on the female characters is transparent as heck, and smacks of an outdated way of thinking. I have no problems with the sex appeal, but they need to spread it out to all the characters, male and female, even the "weird" ones. (And the ladies need some non-fetish gear too.)

This is all stuff I've said before, but it bears repeating.
