AKI's new costume is, as the young ones say, serving cunt, indeed.

God, zoomer lingo might be the worst one to date

Reading combo threads in 2007 be like:

 

cr.fierce /\ j.jab, j.strong, j.fierce xx air s1 \/ jab, strong, fierce, df.hp /\ j.strong, j.fierce, air s2 \/ BT Tag, cr.fierce, cr.s1, Tag, dash /\ j+d.[H] xx super

Wtf is this notation

Not to mention MK1 is complete trash. MK11 was a step in the right direction but NRS just had to pull an NRS with the sequel.

11 and 1 are both trash

I'm not familiar with events, when is most likely we will know the S2 characters list?

Fuck if I know tbh

My personal guesses for potential season 2 character announcements are:

- sometime in May during a State of Play presentation by Sony 

- early June during the Geoff Keighley "Summer of Gaming" presentation or one of the publisher shows (Sony, Xbox, Capcom) 

- mid July on the Evo 2024 finals day as a surprise before top-6 kicks off

There aren't really any other big events in the near future and I don't think Capcom would want to drop news as big as season 2 character roster (teasers) in a comic con panel, usually they just show character trailers there like when they revealed Ken for both SFV and SF6

Maybe Akuma will only bring main cast/Season1 characters changes, and any mayor system change will eventually start with S2 bunch of months from now?

The first offline CPT major is in July with EVO VEGAS, plus there will likely be online tourneys prior. They're not gonna wait 2 months and make system mechanic adjustments on the eve of world's largest fgc event and a season opener, that's just madness. Plus they're clearly hellbent on not patching the game once the pro tour itself begins. 

So if the end of may update doesn't do anything else except drive reversal - enjoy another year of throw looping and mountain dew rushing 

Pretty concerning the only major system change reported thus far is the drive reversal stuff. Hoping it's just an older build specifically for Akuma and we'll get the full details in three weeks 

We do not talk about the N-word character anymore

G is bizzarre af situation for me... i like a lot the charisma and lore of the char, like would really love see his story pushed forward... but at same time i can't bring myself to give fucks about his fight style or him becoming playable lol

I don't really like a lot of SFV newcomers 

We got Ed, Luke, and Rashid back already 

Zeku function is covered by Kim 

Laura function is covered by Manon 

Abigail can burn in hell and I don't even want to imagine how that monstrosity would look in re engine 

Lucia was more of a fanservice pick for final fight nostalgia 

Falke is wack 

FANG is replaced by Aki now

Menat would  be welcome but they'll probably space away the feet waifus by a few seasons 

Kolin is kinda wack but maybe she can be considerably redesigned for 6

Akira is a guest and I'd like for more SF characters to return first 

So that just leaves us with G as the wildcard 

We need Guy back, he's a beast 

Nah I agree, the whole "I summon shadow clones to dive kick your ass" could be a shorter level 3. And just keep the raging Demon as is. Like the whole point is you don't know WHAT Akuma does to the opponent - is it summoning something? Striking with lightning speed? Cloning himself? Using a pressure point that makes your blood vessels explode all over?

And now it's just... Oh I guess he kicks you bunch of times

Akuma might just be the best looking character model in the entire game

Nerf Vism in Alpha 3 and then maybe it's considered the GOAT SF. It has a superior roster and is better balanced.

You can't just nerf v-ism. It'd either have to become even shorter duration wise or make combos scale so much it's not even worth using, at which point you might as well remove the mechanic entirely. 

Alpha 3 becomes a better game when players straight up don't use it and pick the other two isms

And no one will play it. Unless something has changed since I stopped playing FIghtcade. 3S is far more popular than 4th Strike.

Old habits die hard as they say

That would help but some of the characters in that game are just BAD bad.  

 

Even the likes of Twelve and Necro can cook given the opportunity 

Pierrot is one of the best Remy players around 

Alex won a coop cup a few years ago (granted it's a tram tournament but he was going up against a Ken) 

Elena doesn't have a ton of representation I'll give you that 

It all just gets filtered out by Yun's geneijin spam, how much damage Chun legs gets off one hit confirm, and the scaling on Ken's jinrai 

3S is a good game with shit balancing at the top

Literally just nerf the supers for yun, Chun and Ken and see how much better it becomes 

Twitter would cause a riot if they found a dark skinned character in a fighting game is named kushnood butt anyway 

Lol they added the cyber Akuma wings?

Speaking of SFV, remember Xian's rant about how weak Falke was on release like 6 years ago?
