I smell something...
Something...boon-y....

tomorrow will be a good day for the rooflemonger youtube channel

It was a very ambitious game and i respect that about it, but imo it was a net failure 
 
Pushed rollback and crossplay waaaaay before other jp devs caught on...but fucked up the implementation and never really fixed it. Had an amazing system for keeping track of other players and watching replays with CFN... but that contributed to stability issues too. Let you buy characters with free in game points...but struggled to keep the in game point economy fair or interesting and eventually just pushed gacha. Had a training mode with frame data but..it took them a while. Catered to competitive players heavily from the get go... at the expense of casuals and only began to remedy it long after launch. That's just as a package. 
 
As a game...I think it was too focused on limiting things in a way that was just unpleasant. Range on normals felt bad on a lot of the cast relative to other sf games because they wanted you to play in very specific ranges. Moves were locked behind vtrigger which was never really a good system because it ultimately rewards someone for getting hit with explosive tools. Crush counters were a system that took a long time to fix because the reward on smashing them in neutral was too silly for too long...I didn't play much of sfv after like season 3 but I'm lead to believe it mostly got a lot better as a game. Ill buy that but overall i think the core of the game revolves around too much unpleasant shit to ever be something id call great lol

Pretty sure that's usually a question of how the game reads inputs rather than the box
 
In a lot of older games on box I HAVE TO hit diagonals for half circle motions or get nothing. But modern games (especially sfv) have such insane input leniency that it enables all kinds of silly things
 
Blame the devs not the cheatbox on this one is what I'm trying to say

Ryu, chun, ken and akuma (soon tm) all in the game though???

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

SG an ugly, nasty lil game is all it is lol
 
The people who love it really love it and they have some star power bc sonicfox loves it and goes to bat for it, but really the game falls into the trap sonero mentioned where it is just too degen for anyone but demonic fg enjoyers. I dont think its niche for any reason besides its own gameplay (and i guess the artstyle but these days people are into that right...?)

Done for a Sherdog bro, but guess also SRK elitist fellows may appreciate 😄
 

 
He did the pics, i made the animation as surprise bullshit lol

Dont forget complaining about people in NY/Socal who get copies of the game two weeks early due to vendors breaking street date
