I hadn't either. Played last night and I'm more down on it than ever for a host of reasons.
I haven't been playing much this year due to time consuming games like Yakuza 0, Nioh, and Persona 5 but every time I do play I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying myself. I'll struggle to go back to those other games because just playing online is much more immediate fun.
Full disclosure: I've been maining Balrog since he was released so the only way the game negatively impacts me is probably the server issues. However, for a few months I've been finding matches within seconds and they're all nearly lag free so it's been smooth sailing.
Honestly, I think if I didn't read GAF my opinion of SFV would be much higher.
Nah, it's punishable enough.

I dropped Xrd in five hours. I guess I only bought it on PC to look at the pretty shiny graphics for a while.
GG games are so not for me.Tekken tho. I'm all over that.

I'd love to play Guilty gear but damn that game requires a time investment that I am just not ready to make.

aren't there good starter characters like Slayer and Leo?
I haven't played Xrd, but Answer has me wanting to, tbh

I did not know you could pushblock in Alpha 3
I never tried GG but that was what turned me away from BB games, they require so much dedication and time investment just to get decent.
Slayer is pretty bad but there's plenty of beginner characters that are also good. I play Slayer because style is more important than actually winning.
How long I stick with Rev 2 depends on the online. If Ranked work I'd play it all the time.
Only two characters have it, and only in Vism.

"Sf5 is not Street Fighter at all!!" After saying he has only played SF4.

That health nerf will surely make a difference.
Well, we went 10 years w/o a new SF. Somebody that was, say, 15 or 16 when SF4 came out might never have even played a previous SF.
For a very, very large contingent of players, SF4 IS SF to them.
I don't agree with it, but I have to acknowledge that's true when I discuss "what street fighter is" with people.
At that point, might as well take the loketest buzz route and not say a word about him at all until the beta ends.
lol

They'll probably show him off Tuesday.

If only Ed had a blockbuster movie coming out today maybe we woulda got a trailer
Marvel
could never
Haha.
Yeah that made me laugh. He only played that game competitively and while I understand that he might not have been around to play SF2, Alpha or 3, to make hyperbolic claims like that, when every iteration plays differently, is just silly. He needs to play SF3 (which this game is loosely based off) to feel how a SF game plays and it's part of the reason why I enjoy SFV - due to it reminding me of that game. Just bring back Oro, Q and Sean already.
Wasn't SF3 one of the most non sf sf games of all time?
Possibly but to me it was what defined it. Maybe that's why I don't agree with him, as he comes from the "09" era so he thinks SF4 was what defined SF. However, due to me having a different and better experience with the Alpha and SF3 games, I think differently. SFV, for me, reminds me of SF3, which wasn't popular but was very highly praised in terms of solid gameplay and fundamentals. Of course it had issues too but which SF doesn't lol.
I just saw it. Groot!
He already had one, it's called 8 mile

You know someone's OG when they list SFEX2 as how SF should be played.

As a pretty old fighting game player, it is amusing to me to see how opinions have changed regarding SF entries as a whole.
SF3 was absolutely considered a terrible SF game. People complained about the easy inputs in that game (and now I hear people saying they're strict), being able to cancel specials into supers was considered super scrubby, something that they took from the EX games.
I always hated SF3 as an SF game, but I think it's an amazing fighter without those expectations.
Slim Shadaloo.
Street Fighter probably feels the most different between games than any fighting game franchise. Games like Tekken really feel like a concept that was iterated upon repeatedly (also literally as some of the animations stuck around for multiple games) whereas with SF it feels like they started from scratch.
And there's definitely some revisionist history going on. The fact that people look back on SFxT fondly is all the proof I need on how quickly the narrative can turn. I thought a lot of the complaints about SFxT were completely ridiculous and I dislike that game, even after it's final update, considerably more than SFV. SFV's problems are way less defensible than SFxT's but SFxT got a lot of undeserved shit and sold roughly the same as V.

8 mile being re-released on bluray tho
When I think about it, isn't that movie about the FGC life?
After overcoming your demons in locals, you go back to your shitty minimum wage job that has no glory :/

Last time a character was delayed we got two characters. Maybe they'll do it again.
We already know the 2nd character is the CFN, that's why the delay
Character #4 is out in June, supposedly, and we were told Ed's delay won't impact any other character's releases.
I don't know with Capcom. I'll have to see it to believe it. Excited to try out the new CFN though as I didn't have a chance last time due to not having a PC.

That silhouette doesn't look like Ed at all to me. Unless he has a different outfit for hi main costume?
