Ya know, say what you want about the character themes but the character select theme is a banger.

People are acting like everyone got a remix of Ed's theme in this game, it's way overblown.

Figures.

So I’m reading the comments in the thread and some saying you can block during parry recover to avoid this?

Gonna need someone with the demo to confirm this. 🤷‍♂️

Big YRC Fireball energy. I dig it. I gotta play this already.

Even if I already knew... It still hurts. 😭

Fireballs are ass. Punishable at most ranges. 

I was already expecting that the moment I saw this game had a parry. 🤣

Also, goddamn, Marisa's grab is straight up disrespectful.

The showcase was single player stuff mostly 

 

Yeah we known this game has a good training mode since the beta. Don't think it has a hitbox viewer but it has frame data on a little timeline so you know exactly what startup, active, recovery are on anything

Yeah, I watched it.

Honestly, this game is straight-up built different. That's the most complete package I've ever seen in an FG. It has literally everything you could possibly want out of an SF game...

Except SF3 characters. 😭

I played SFV for 5 months, couldn't make it out of bronze lol. 

That's nothing. Watch this.

It'll be damn near impossible for me to not make it out of Ultra Plastic this time. 😤

Master not having demotions feels like it'll get extra ranks down the road like SFV did and essentially become a 2nd tier of its own.

You know when you got so much stuff on a backlog that you kinda don't wanna do anything? That's me with all the FG info I skipped on. 😭

Was the showcase good or should I just skip to the character trailers?

More importantly, do we have any "git gud" resources like frame data, magic numbers, and important stuff like that? Also, who is actually playable in the demo?

I’m surprised anyone still actually taunts these days all I ever see is teabagging. 

I blame the current taunt input.

Like with the post I made earlier, if you tell some of these people that they need to chill out or hold them accountable for starting something with you, they'll flip their shit and call you names and act like you attacked them out of pocket. And of course, it results in NO games.

Yeah, in all seriousness, it's just people flipping their shit 24/7. There's no discourse in general, it's either people agreeing with their takes or they're straight-up enemies.

At no point, you'll ever see this kind of people talking about improving, learning from their mistakes, or accountability. That's the bigger issue here. I'm not sure these people even want matches. They don't even have the gall to admit they're casuals like me.

Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes! You guys help make 40 feel good. Ready for my AARP FGC membership 😂 I appreciate all of you and this is by far the best group in the FGC! 

Happy birthday!!! 🥳

I think the biggest piece of news there is hidden between the text. It's a subtle confirmation I hope that a classic Arcade Mode is in the game.

All I can hope is that it's not a bust like SFV's Arcade Mode.

Like until explicitly shown otherwise, looks like they took out mash inputs 😞 

And that's a great thing.

Looks good so far, I have a feeling the showcase next week will go more in depth. In SF6 you can create your own character, run around the various locations, and learn special moves from the cast. Metro City is the first area but there are others.

 

Here is a video on the character creation from our favorite FGC Youtuber @EvilCanadian

 

 

I'm going to assume there will be an ass and tiddy slider. 10/10. Really, that character creator is absurd.

Fuck I spent money on Rashid and Ed? 

Think of it this way.

You spent money on A Kuma and big tiddy FANG. You'll probably need to lab against Akuma's stuff anyway, so it's not too bad.

I'm definitely *not* getting the Ultimate Edition tho. Don't need the extra colors for these clowns.

So uhhh, I've been avoiding any info about these next-gen FGs since World... Thing was revealed.

How good does the single-player content look?

Guess who's back?

What made Bardock, Bardock got cut.  Bardock curb stomping an army soldiers to get to Freeza actually played out. So Bardock still had his bad ass rebellion. The film version of DBS:Broly was cut down from Toriyama's original script. I was hoping they had story boards or something on the Blu-Ray but nope. They should of animated that shit, it's fucking a crime that they didn't. Ironically it pissed me off when they re-did the Battle of Gods and Resurrection F' movies as arcs in DBS, but I was hoping they'd actually do that for Broly so we could get to see the Bardock stuff that got cut.

At this point, all we can hope for is for them to actually make a new Bardock movie that actually has him do things. (and fix his drip.)

I just read his fight with Gas again. That shit was tragic. I kid you not, man was literally questioning why he was doing this in over half of the dialogue he had.

Playing the Kakarot DLC and remembering the old Bardock only makes it even worse.

I have yet to play it, since as I explained to him, is kind of hard to go and play for the 100th time DB's story that you already watched and played in many other games (plus manga and anime).

Looks at Xenoverse.

I honestly don't get this take. Really. Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was so long ago.

At any rate, Kakarot is a spectacle of a game. I was legit impressed when I played it. The gameplay kinda doesn't do it for me, but it's a really, really good game. Very polished.

I loved Broly the movie. But I was way more interested in the flashbacks and learning about Saiyan lore more than anything. More of that type of world building and history, please

That reminds me. I gotta rewatch that one too.

I've been hearing about how they absolutely butchered Bardock in Super and I thought it just had to do with the Granolah Arc, but man, it's worse than anything I had expected. Even the man's drip is gone.

There's nothing really identifiable about this character as is, but the backstory took the brunt of it. Literally everything that made him recognizable is gone. This is character assassination of the highest order.

At least Kakarot did him justice, I suppose. I haven't finished it myself, but I got a spoiler or two.

Speaking of which, did y'all play it?

Great thread idea, even better thread title. I hope this one takes off, but I'm not sure if there's a lot of people here that are looking for a career to follow.

So, Bra is now reimagined as a saiyan with Bulma's brain?

Interesting.

I wonder if she will end like the GT version (fashionista, etc) , since that version is also taking from Bulma.

Yeah, I noticed they kinda took some things from GT for this, namely Trunks not wanting anything to do with Capcom CapCorp and just wanting to do exciting things.

Honestly, I'm not sure how to feel about that because I don't remember what GT Trunks was like and I definitely don't want to watch it to find out either.

I do like how they're kind of bridging the gap between what's been going on in the manga and building up to the Super Hero movie.  I know there's some discourse currently over Goten and Trunks going through the same thing Gohan went through during the Buu saga as well as people whinging about Mai and Trunks' relationship but eh...It's kind of nice for things to not be the Goku and Vegeta show all the time.

 

Also this:

 

 

Tbh, Goten and Trunks doing the hero stuff when Gotenks straight up called it lame back in the Buu arc kinda feels out of character.

Besides that? There ain't a lot of similarities to it. And after an entire year of Goku and Vegeta scrapping with some dude, I definitely appreciate the slice of life stuff...

As long as they don't overstay their welcome with this arc. We already know how it ends and the movie doesn't really leave a lot to the imagination. We don't need an entire year of Trunks trying to get in Mai's panties.
