Yup that's how you do it, each character can only charge one move BTW.

Tough choices but im going to try and stick away from my shadaloo kings for the first few months, mostly stick with tekken fighters like Law, Mishimas, Lili. Only interested in Hugo and Poison from the SF side.
I am more excited for the dlc characters Bryan, Lars, Lei, Christie and Elena.

I think you can tag cancel everything, I'm not sure if, in the projectile case, you tag cancel right after you do the special or when the special hits/gets blocked by the opponent

I can honestly say that throughout the entire week that I've watched Cross Assault. I learned absolutely nothing about the game. Ok, not entirely true but point being that my knowledge of the game is pretty lacking despite watching so often. With that said I'm excited to get my hands on the game and breaking it down the best I can.
Some things I learned:
- you have to learn some damaging combos or else every round ends in a timeout
- you still lose recoverable life if you tag cancel
- SRK tag cancel is not safe
- NerdJosh figures shit out QUICK
- about 3000 people are fiending for more Cross Assault when it goes off the air (LI Joe stream)

As in the art style? Or the gameplay?

Me Heihachi and Kazuya gotta have that lovable Father and Son relationship.
Both, lol. Not trolling (or not trying to, anyway), and I have the game paid for. I'm just feeling less excited for this than I have a fighter in a long time. I love fighting games, but this just feels meh to me. Probably doesn't help that every time I watched the stream I saw the same characters.
If it's any perspective, this is probably the first time I've ever been really excited for a fighting game. Hopefully it'll be a gateway drug

I feel kind of left out with all the sfxt avatars, might need to make me one.
I was super hyped for SF4 when it was being released, but this game has me far more hyped than SF4 or its itterations. Why? Because Rolento is real and he's in it. I was always hyped for SF4 and its subsequent additions because I felt, "okay, now they'll add Rolento, because he just fits so damn well for this game, and is highly requested." That never came.
Now? Oh fuck yeah. All aboard the hype train at maximum wesker levels of speed.

I think my hype is more that it's basically Street Fighter with a shitload of new characters that aren't heavily based off of other SF characters
Basically my thoughts.
Sounds good until you get in the ring!
The Tekken characters are the reason I care about this at all. I hope they take the ideas from these characters and apply them to SF for whatever we get next.
When I do play, it'll likely be all Tekken characters and Cammy. Because I love Cammy.
<3 Cammy.
<3 <3 <3
Bingo. For someone who's rarely played Tekken, it's basically 20 new characters to try out + Rolento and Poison and Hugo who weren't in SF4.

I am hyped for no fadc and no comeback mechanic, oh and tekken characters duh!
This too. It's like SF4.5 with a megaton of DLC of new fight styles.
I'm total ass at Tekken, but I love Steve Fox, so it's great I can play a game that initially looks something more comfortable to me and my play skills as they are and enjoy his awesome fight style.
The only way this game could be perfect is if it's netcode is SC5 good or better, and if they add in Urien later on.
Game of the forever material if that came to fruition.

I really want Urien (he would be perfect in this game) but I will try to play Sim and a Tekken character until then. Gief looks amazing in this game too.
Look at how sick Urien could be in SFxT

any one else in the "40+ characters yay, lets pick ryu" boat as i am? i always try out new guys but i still end up with him.
I think you might like it, after getting used to its differences. I pretty much hated it, but after getting used to the new mechanics and seeing the Pros on Cross Assault try some stuff, there seems to be more opportunities for creativity. I imagine when the game first comes out, there will be some people complaining that matches are nothing but time outs and chain combo into missed launcher into another chain combo. But that definitely does change as you play the game more and get used to attack timing, what you think is safe vs what is actually safe, etc. It gets really fun.
I do agree about some aspects of the art style, more so on some characters than others. And as I've mentioned, hitboxes feel weird sometimes. But playing a game like this with tekken style characters and mechanics feels interesting and fresh.
It's going to be fun stomping capcop fanboys and people just playing it like sf4.
Pandora looks pretty weak, and supers don't do a shit-ton of damage unless you do it 3rd Strike style (low forward -> super).
The only way this game can fail me is bad netcode. And Capcom have done an acceptable job on that so far. Though this game better have a region filter (stupid 3s:Online).

Some would argue pandora mode being a comeback mechanic but the way it works I just don't see that happening.
Also extremely hyped for a more footsie based game, thank you capcom.

How about option selects?
They still exist in this game.

Worlds dumbest question.... but Can anybody explain to me about alpha counters and what they exactly do?

Someone brought it up in an earlier thread but what are pad players like myself looking to do about button binding? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but for Ryu for example and EX Hado is qcf PP and his super is qcf PPP?
Kind of sucks because for SF4 I'd have PPP and KKK bound to the two triggers, there was no need for differentiation between EX and ultra moves because the commands were different, qcf vs double qcf. I dunno the best way to approach it, I suspect though hitting two buttons at the same time on the pad consistently might be tough.

Though not as prevalent or important considering the roll mechanic

There's no advantage for the 2nd player entering Pandora. If someone does it randomly, it's basically a guaranteed for the other player no matter what happens.
I wouldn't be surprised if some kind of option select can be found to cover a tech roll forward and the possibility of just standing up. Time will tell.
I'm just glad that option selecting a throw is harder to do thanks to the short range of throws in this game.

An alpha counter is an attack during blockstun. It costs 1 meter and is used to get people the fuck off you holmes. It's called an alpha counter since the attack was introduced in Alpha 1.

It was first introduced in Darkstalkers, technically, where it was called Guard Cancel (it's actually called that in SFxT isn't it?) but Street Fighter Alpha was obviously much more popular with the western competitive scene so the term Alpha Counter stuck over GC.
That's just nitpicking about the term, though.

Loving this forum already everyone's nice
