Ken's is the best because he has strong shimmy and how easy it is to time.

But yeah, other characters have strong throw pressure as well. Karin flies under the radar a bit IMO.

Nah. Karin's is worse than Ken.

My throw loop tier list goes like this:
1) Rashid
2) Karin
3) Akuma
4) Ken
5) Cammy

Seriously, Rashid's is the straight up worse loop in the game. No Rashid you're not sorry! And Im not you're friend, buddy!

 

[Producer]

cammy doesnt have a throw loop though

 

[Omnistalgic]

Nah. Karin's is worse than Ken.

5) Cammy

Seriously, Rashid's is the straight up worse loop in the game. No Rashid you're not sorry! And Im not you're friend, buddy!

I'm not sure those would count as a loop? I think Cammy and Akuma just has great tic throws. Karin and Rashid are pretty buff though, I dunno how easy there's are to time though always just assumed Ken's was best because of ease of use and how easy he gets you on the corner.

 

[kirblar]

They should just make throw techs always max distance you. If one person's in the corner, the other gets pushed out farther to compensate.

Everything is a Cammy throw loop.

Spoiler

Her air throw is also kind of a throw loop, literally.

Tick throws are just throw loops with more steps.

 

[Mizerman]

I'm sorry friend

I was wondering what Rashid was saying. For the longest time, I thought he was saying "Have some, friend."

Akuma most definitely has a throw loop

 

[ColonialHawk]

No Bison?

Bison is sitting at number 7, right under Juri, and above Guile.

So guys, which future stage release(s) are you most looking forward to....?

https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2017...es-including-urien-and-cammy-classic-remakes/

I already figured we'd see a Cammy stage so its not a surprise. At this point it seems that Capcom is remaking the classic SF2 stages that pertain to the SF2 characters included in SFV. I also expect Ken's stage at some point, too.

I'm not 100% willing to believe all of these but some seem plausible. I do expect the Sagat stage (Ayutthaya Ruins) in December (along with Sagat).

And the FANG stage might be coming. The image EventHubs features is the first time we've seen art of the stage without FANG plastered over it so I'm inclined to believe it (unless that image file has been in the code since launch).

The image of FANG's stage

The same goes for the R. Mika stage. The only art we've seen of that stage has Mika on top of it. X-Kira's image is missing Mika and doesn't seem to be photoshopped.

The image of Mika's stage

The "Capcom Wrestling Association" is the one I'm not sold on. This is the same stage X-Kira released an image of last year. We still haven't seen it from Capcom.

Last year's screenshot of CWA stage

 

[kirblar]

The Japanese-style pro wrestling ring probably got pushed out/back/cancelled due to Ring of Pride.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I want the Alpha 2 Sak stage so bad

 

[BlizzKrut]

Nguuhao Palace looks incredible, hope they don't stick a bunch of NPC's there and just let the HK lights do the work.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Akuma most definitely has a throw loop

Word? Man I really need to learn Akuma...

Not because of that mind you, he just seems like he does everything Ken does but better. Just worried about the glass jaw thing.

 

[mbpm1]

Stages are overrated. Less important than a good color

 

[Mizerman]

I still would like the Grass Stage from Alpha 2, but I fully understand that it would be a design issue when it involves V-Skills and V-Triggers.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Stages are overrated. Less important than a good color

I'm inclined to agree...I've bought a couple but I keep going back to bustling side street. Maybe because it's the first stage that was revealed.

Ryu's stage and Vega's I do Switch too sometimes though, and Karin's afternoon one.

Nothing like the side street though.

 

[mbpm1]

Abby's st hk should wall bounce on counterhit

 

[JusDoIt]

Stages are overrated. Less important than a good color

Disagree. The only things more important than new stages for keeping a fighting game fresh are new characters and mechanics.

The thing is half the time (well most of the time) you're fighting and not seeing the stage and of the times you match your opponent is the one who's stage you're fighting on and they probably picked some garbage beach stage or something

Disagree. The only things more important than new stages for keeping a fighting game fresh are new characters and mechanics.

If that's the case it's an extremely distant second imo

 

[kikiribu]

It's hard not to like Side Street. Bang bus always makes me laugh but the colors and lighting, and it being right outside of a restaurant you can go into makes it cool.

 

[Blueblur1]

The Japanese-style pro wrestling ring probably got pushed out/back/cancelled due to Ring of Pride.

Maybe. The one thing we should note is that by late December you won't be able to buy Ring of Pride anymore.

It is a distant second to characters, which is why fighting games tend to fall off making new stages pretty quick. SFV has overachieved in the stage department.

 

[CountBlack]

Lack of Tekken 7 during its debut month should be more surprising...especially with CEO and the Royal Rumble being Tekken instead of SF this year. But, it's Tekken, so no one ever notices things like this for Tekken or any non Capcom game.

The biggest event during June for SF5 was CEO...the tourney where half of SF5 top 8 wasn't even streamed due to crappy internet, and it still managed to get the most views.

Now, JULY on the other hand...

how did this become about tekken

Anyway...

@Count I'll be home around 5 please be on!! I gotta get this Laura match down, also Shadow I need Akuma help, air FB traps are killing me.

definitely down to play sometime this evening, can't confirm for 5 tho, if I see you on I'll send an invite

 

[SneakersSO]

From my understanding - there are a few 'stages' that have existed in a non-complete capacity for awhile now. The CWF arena was most likely converted to the Ring of Destiny stage from last year, as the CWF arena was a 'stage' used in the Cinematic Story mode.

"FANG"'s stage is actually the first stage ever made for SFV & was used for lots of early prototype stuff. I'd love to see it get finalized & released though.

It is a distant second to characters, which is why fighting games tend to fall off making new stages pretty quick. SFV has overachieved in the stage department.

With the slight bump in budget a lot of the production pipelines for SFV are getting, the increase in stage output makes sense. Whats been nice is that Capcom has continued to go back to already released stages and continue polishing them. Love the improvements to Guile's stage.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

I don't actually think those images have been in the game at any point.
See that weird text with the question marks on the slides? Those are internal resource IDs used in the game and as I can tell those are what X-Kira is going by.

 

[kirblar]

Maybe. The one thing we should note is that by late December you won't be able to buy Ring of Pride anymore.

Blah I meant "Ring of Destiny"

You forgot Necalli. It's pretty bad when you can do his oki in the corner with your eyes closed.

 

[kikiribu]

Capcom should give us those stages from Cinematic Story for free. Why keep them there? They're pretty and exactly what I want as they don't have NPCs on them. Those stages are already in the game, what's so hard about adding them to Stage Select, Capcom?

 

[TheSpoiler]

The stages have FPS problems. They gotta fix that first.

How is it strange? Tekken is more niche than SFV. It was always going to be the case. Don't spread that toxic garbage here man. What's your agenda?

But it's ok friendo, Ryu doesn't have a throw loop anymore!

What's your agenda?

 

[Marvel]

If the fang stage looks like it's artwork then to me it's my favourite stage in the game.

 

[Turbanator]

Castle Lichtenstein is jizz worthy.

Nguuhao Palace is sick af, especially if it looks like the prototype version.

Ayutthaya Ruins is inevitable, especially if Arcade mode launches with Sagat.

The Ring is... cool, I guess...

Olmec Ruins is the single least interesting aspect to Urien.

It seems that improvements have been made in service of adding new missions. I hope they keep doing them because the night time versions of old stages such as Shadaloo Base and Forgotten Waterfall are barren. And so is Abigail's stage which was surprising to me.

I don't actually think those images have been in the game at any point.
See that weird text with the question marks on the slides? Those are internal resource IDs used in the game and as I can tell those are what X-Kira is going by.

If they're new files then there's hope.

Blah I meant "Ring of Destiny"

Ah yeah, quite the overlap with both ring stages. Maybe we'll never see it. :-(

 

[lucebuce12]

I can't lie, I'll reinstall the game if FANG's stage comes out and I won't uninstall for a minimum of 3 weeks.

But the only condition is that the stage be released, and that the theme be worthy of F.A.N.G's musical legacy.

Yes, and that's a GOOD thing. Stages shouldn't have clutter.

I'm so glad SFV didn't end up looking like this, but I'm happy Arika's game kinda does.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Arika's game works with that style. Like lots of particle effects and shit totally suit that game. It's fantastic and feels a little next gen in a way.

They said they need to get the licensing for the name.

Just.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

HMMMMMMMMMMMM

Maybe Sneaks knows something.

 

[Turbanator]

Just peeked at Kira's page. Apparently Akiman's Chun costumes are coming, and we're also getting a gallery mode.

That gallery mode would've been mighty useful before when Capcom wanted to force people to get rid of their FM and get more character sales.

 

[lucebuce12]

Arika's game works with that style. Like lots of particle effects and shit totally suit that game.

Yup, just have basic ass models and textures.

But go absolutely fucking ham on the particle effects, no such thing as too much. Make Killer Instinct blush.

 

[mbpm1]

Where we're going you won't need eyes to see

I think FANG's would look sweet with some serious-looking Nguuhao soldiers in the background. Not goofy NPCs.

It feels next gen and old school at the same time. I wish Capcom was healthy enough to throw some dev money and guest characters their way for some backend licensing fees.

 

[lucebuce12]

FANG is basically a goofy NPC turned into a character.

Please no actual goofy NPCs. Keep the stage clean.
