Winners don't do weapons

This isn't the 80s anymore.

Don't forget Geki

Didn't even know that character existed lol.

My only interest in Street Fighter's lore is find out why this tournament allows weapons (Rolento uses grenades!) and why so few of the fighters use them.

I think it stopped being an actual tournament and more of a "people get together and fight cause reasons" thing since SF4.

Cody also got his knife.
Decapre has her psyco-blades.
And poison has her whip, if you count that as a weapon.

Oh yes, this is true. Would like to see more weapon users in SF, I feel like there's a lot of untapped potential there.

*riding crop

A riding crop is a type of whip, so I am still technically correct.

OK I'll allow it.

I would love to see Maki show up too...

Even still, Vega was in the SF2 tournament and uses his claw (but the tournament was ran by Bison so I guess that explains that).

I guess Street Fighter lore is airtight.

Street Fighter has the best lores, just fantastic.

EDIT: Oh wait, wasn't Satsuki one of the rumoured characters for S2? She could be a weapon user!

 

[TheSpoiler]

I don't think there's anything against straight up weapons. SF1, SF2, SF3, and SF4 were the only actual tournaments, and Geki, Vega, and the FF crew had a few weapons on them. I think the only thing is that guns aren't allowed.

One of the S2 figures does look like they are carrying something, but it is of course hard to tell by the silhouettes.

One of the dolls uses guns, so it is not without precedent.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I wonder if the silhouette is a misdirect. I guess we'll have a better idea once we see how Ed fits into his.

They reveal the silhouette...it's actually BALROG AGAIN

Then he steps aside and it's Ed

 

[MrCarter]

The notion of SFIV having a semblance of good game design or well-thought out balance...

lol that frog.

I doubt it, and it's not like even have to be a misdirect.
People still got it wrong even after the season 1 characters got data-mined:

One of the dolls uses an Uzi. Thats pretty close, right?

i specified deathstroke's bc that shit was cheap

the doll's uzi is pretty long recovery IIRC, but the pistols? gross

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

what about balrog's guns

Still though it was actually enough that they correctly guessed all the characters, even though mismatched with some of the silhouettes. Is it just a coincidence to getting all DLC characters added correct?

Sagat's shotgun.

 

[lucebuce12]

Akuma's time in Tekken 7 really did a number on him.

The selection of characters was based on data-mining of one of the betas:

 

[Lulubop]

Azam is the last character, I think.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Azam is the last character, I think.

I think he might be part of the list, but the final one is probably Garuda.

 

[Foxhound286]

Azam is the last character, I think.

I don't see it. He doesn't look remotely similar to any of the silhouettes.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I think he might be part of the list, but the final one is probably Garuda.

If we're getting EX crossovers, I wonder what possessed them to choose Garuda of all folks.

 

[Gr1mLock]

I want ed to throw psycho power sonic booms (high and low remy style).

 

[Village]

I think he might be part of the list, but the final one is probably Garuda.

I think the people who keep saying its garuda, is going to be wildly disappointing.

Espically considering ( He's been in a street fighter game before, and playable whether it was EX or not , and people keep pretending like that didn't happen.)

 

[TheSpoiler]

Only three characters are confirmed so far, and he's the most iconic out of all them in regards to FEL. Kairi is way too close to Akuma and Hoktuo isn't as necessary because we already have a counter character.

Garuda is a shoto with more range on his specials but no fireball, so it's a good midway point for FL players and SF players.

I think the people who keep saying its garuda, is going to be wildly disappointing.

It might not be, but the shadows kinda match his new CFN design. Could be a brand new character, or it could be a cross over to help promote FEL.

OT8 will prolly be a bit late again.

 

[Edzi]

OT8 will prolly be a bit late again.

Do we already have a title? Because if not I'd like to officially nominate the one I accidentally came up with a few weeks ago:

"At least it's not 8 frames"

Delayed to next month?

|OT8| Title will be announced in the coming weeks

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

didn't pick one yet, but I am going with the same "new generation" subtitle.
I was actually thinking of OT8| New Delayed Generation.

 

[sixteen-bit]

|OT8| Beta Late than Never

He looks fucking badass, all we need lol

 

[Dartastic]

I think I need a kinda training partner to help me learn how to improve at this point. I've got just over 3100 BP, and I feel like I'm in a sorta limbo where I'm okay, but not good? Like, I don't know what specifically to focus on to improve at this point and it's frustrating.

Do you watch your past matches?

Garuda is one of EX's main characters, and his deep attraction to Psycho Power and the Satsui no Hado make him a sensible choice for SFV with Ryu, Akuma, M. Bison, and Ed already in the game. I know Skullomania has niche popularity, but he's a Blanka tier character in terms of importance to the lore. The first EX character to cross over into the mainline series is going to be someone significant.

 

[Dartastic]

Do you watch your past matches?

No, I don't. I don't really know HOW to watch my old matches also. I play pretty casually, so I'm not... super, super invested. I do want to get better though.

Go into your battle profile and you scroll through the tabs to matches in casual or ranked.

Go to your fighter profile and check the matches tab. It stores ranked and casual matches. Save whatever replay you want then head to the CFN menu and go to Replays

Watching replays can help you see where you went wrong. Did you anti-air properly? Why did you press a button there? What were you thinking in that situation? Did you properly punish that whiffed DP?

It really can give you an insight into how you normally play or where your flaws might be.

Joined the Discord. My username is Dartastic, just like my CFN is Dartastic and my PSN name. I'm west coast also; probably won't be able to play until at least 8 or 9 tonight.

I don't mean like, HOW to watch them, haha. I mean, how to really watch for stuff to change, avoid, etc. The physical act of analyzing my own matches.

That discord's actually more of a community for people in that thread instead of a hardcore sfv base discord. You could still join, just know that it won't actually act like a straight up matchmaking one consistently.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

I never noticed how many different reeling animations there were in the game.

Just goofing around in training mode with Ken as the dummy, and he reels differently from most of Juri's buttons. stLP causes his head to whip back, stMP causes him to buckle over, stHP twists his entire upper body away from the impact, and so on. It really gives each button weight.

Oh shit I forgot about that, I thought peeps were guessing from the silhouettes too. Thanks for the reminder my friend!

No problem.
In fact, I should probably have included that in the previous post.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

There's actually multiple different hit animations per button as well, not just per strength.

Good point, but I still wanted a way for him to directly message me!

Oh, cool.
What are the conditions for triggering different animations?
