Mr.Cipher

The director states this will be the most accurate game to movie transition so far. What do you think?
 
 

You mean Granblues Story Mode. Cause thats exactly what you did there.

Maybe with your gen and the previous one, but seeing how Anime and Manga are increasing in popularity those days, i expect more growth with FGS.
Add that there has been a shift in popularity of games, moving away from gritty to a more cartoon aesthetic.
 
Also, I know that by west you mean usa mostly, because let me tell you, anime has always been huge in latin america, since it was cheaper for tv stations to import.
90% of the animation i watched while i was a kid was anime.
Hence fgs and anime games being popular around those places.

Volt has a point.
Story Modes aren't bad, most have bad execution.
 
I stand by my point (and Volts) that Xrd got a great structure and more games should follow it.
 
SF Storys will stay bad as long as the characters don't get flashed out. No matter how good the writing, you will always have a Hobbo, who gets to be the hero, because Plotarmor and everyone else being incompetent at their jobs.
 
Wouldn't like and play most of my characters if it wasn't for how great their characters are.
If I just wanted fireball, DP and tits, I could play lots of characters I actually don't like.

A good sp mode that could work is like what GG Isuka, GG Judgement and GBFVS  have, a beatem up/rpg, where you have side stories and can have fun beating npcs created for the mode. 
 
Even better if you can play it online. 
You could even have some degree of customization where you improve sp moves and even select which ones fir the char to have. 
 
Like you can only equip some some of the moves. 

There are endless ways to improve SFs Story and World, first thing would be consistency.
Second they should just pull a Xrd, have the Story Mode start with a sum up of the entire Story and then have a lenghty and worked out Story Mode.
Why things happen and how they happen should have Lore and Story explanations and not "Uh yeah so Hobboman was sitting under a waterfall for 1 1/2 hours and is now invincible." Just handing out Plotarmor whenever it's needed is lazy writing.
There has been constant build up, for Nash being the one to take down Bison. Nash then sacrifices himself to achive nothing, hobboman comes in, throws a hadoken of love and wins without a problem.
At this stage of the game it would have made more sense if Nash would have seriously damaged Bison with his sacrifice and then Guile finishes him off.
But nope, they have to have hobboman come in and just plotarmor around. Why was he even at the base? What was his motivation to go there and beat Bison?
 
Arc Storys all have consistency to them, they give characters motivation, reasons and goals, no one is there just because they have to be there.
Ram had in Xrd more character development, then the entire SF Cast together in over 30 years of history.
Heck both Sol and Ragna have relationships that are reasonable to the cast, Sol is even a family man who should go home and take care of his wife and 3 kids.
What reasonable relationship does Ryu have? Ken who is his only friend and Gouken, who is his dead master.
Speaking of, why did they do nothing with Gouken? Why did they bring him back just to sit there in some panels and add absolutly nothing to the entire story?
It was a waste to bring him back, he adds absolutly nothing to the entire thing, Rashids Buttler does more stuff than Gouken.
 
Doesn't help that SFVs Story Mode had retconns not even a week after it came out and the only worthwhile thing it produced was the theory that Juri is gay for Cammy.
SFVs Arcade Mode is also a complete waste, throwing you dozens of non-canon endings at you.
Xrds Arcade Mode adds to the Story with each and every character, everyone does something.
Heck Potemkins Arcade Mode give massive insight in his character and his motivation to do the things he does.
Elphelts is a dream, cause she is stuck in a situation and wakes up being stuck in a situation.
Jack-O,Sol and Ram all revolve around each other, with Sol learning that Jack-O has half of his wifes soul in her (the other half is stuck in Justice) and looks exactly like her.
Even in BB where most of the characters Storys are just "their possibility", it makes sense, cause thats how the story would have ended if they would have been the ones get their wish granted. Something Ragna was set out to take away from everyone for the sake of everyone.
There are also a lot of canon elements that tie into the story in the arcade modes.
 
Not to mention how Arc Games have ingame Glossarys that give info about everything in their god damn world.
 
If you want SFs Story to be great and be worthwhile, they have a lot of work to do and a lot to bring in line.
Something they won't do, cause making something that looks cool and saying 2 weeks later that you retcon it is much much easier.

IJ2's story was much, much more boring than IJ1's.
 
Reveal?
 
Brotha, the hood came off last game, you trippin.
 
Speaking of which, I'm still laughing at how That Man challenged Sol to a fight and immediately turned himself in to the cops to get tossed in jail and duck him.

*Looks at the whole nonsense of Fire god Liu Kang.*
 
Nah fam, that was garbage. 🤣
9 was cool until Sindel pulled up and killed everyone for shock value tho.
 
 
BB needed help trimming some of the fat, but the whole "wtf is going onnnn" talk about ArcSys is kinda overblown imo.
 
GG was ok and then Xrd really put them on a higher standard. Arcade prologues and then Story Mode is a *ton* of single player content for a FG and knowing I don't have to worry about things being non-canon trash makes it a lot better than say, SFV. Their narrative structure evolved by leaps and bounds.
 
Speaking of which, SFV is a lot more confusing to keep up, especially the DLC character stories. It also suffers from being outrageously bad.

That's the part of the disguise. "If I use kicks, they'll never recognize me!" 😉

May the best player win!
 
Thats not fair.
 
Thats a 10.

She realy does look like a darker Vanessa.
She seems to be entirely kick based tho, maybe they know each other 👀
Definitly going to try her out.
 
I hope this Thread will be hella active once the game drops.
I'll be on PC, play me to learn and enjoy the game, cause I won't have a clue what I'm doing.
The usual stuff.

If I go to a tournament and I don’t win it immediately, it’s unfair trash.  

@Sonero when did you sign on I checked earlier an didn't see you That CFN is on my friends list.  
@Hawkingbird
I got a surprise for you fam 2MB on the nose.

@Hawkingbird I tried to hook you up to. Couldn't get the file down to 2MB though 😑

She looks realy interesting, she seems to have Lightning Legs as one of her moves.
She might also be either a Cop/Special Agent/Detective, she got a badge on her belt.
I do wonder how her Wolf is incoorperated in the game, so far it looked to mainly just be there and help with some of her moves.
Defintily look into her, but my focus will be Ram for sure.
 
Also why are there no Melty or BBCF Threads?
Can I just make them? Might gather some infos for the OPs and just start them.

She's the bodyguard to the US President.
Because up until recently this place had less than 10 active users.  Feel free to make them now! 🙂

Can't we just all agree that Strive will be GG as long as this still applies.
