One thing that could potentially negate many of Zangief's options in that scenario would be an EX DP, so Axio went for the Hail Mary to stay alive. That's exactly what Slaynman was waiting for.

After dashing up, Zangief assumes the Tundra Storm stance just as the EX flash and reversal text pops up for Lucia. Instead of continuing her upwards trajectory, the Metro City officer gets pulled back down and spun into the ground.

Only a handful of other characters in SF5 even have kick-based reversals between the likes of Juri, Ibuki, Chun-Li and Zeku, but almost all of them appear to be vertical attacks.

Tundra Storm only works on horizontal kicks, however, so this is an interaction that many players probably didn't even know existed before since the move was hardly used already

@BB_Hoodygonna have to choke a bitch. All this kid fighter talk and no one brought up Bulleta/B.B. Hood. Monsters lie awake at night fearing her. Not joking that's one of her arcade endings.

I know some people think she’s actually an adult posing as a kid to bait monsters. But with how batshit the world of Darkstalkers is, I can totally see a messed up kid smoking cigars and smoking monsters.

From the top of my head, these games have kids you can beat the shit out of.

 

King of Fighters - Bao, Momoko, Kula Diamond

Samurai Shodown - Rimururu, Shizumaru 

Last Blade - Akari Ichijou

Blazblue - Carl Clover, Platinum*

Guilty Gear - Bedman?

Melty Blood - Miyako Arima

Arcana Heart - too many to list

 

Bed man can’t be a kid right? It literally says “man” in his name. What about May?

 

Also isn’t Dizzy like 7?

May is like 22 in Xrd and Johnny is on the run from her.

Dizzy is a Gear, she was mature with 2, they age differently. I think she's 8 in human years in Xrd

Sin is her Son and he's like .... 3

Ram and Elphelt are technicaly both 1 year old.

And Sol is 200 years at this point

Bedman is under 18.

This weird ass shit is why I don’t like anime

 

You have a 25 year old running around in a schoolgirl outfit since she's 16 in SF

And magic Hitler who makes himself clone bodys of himself who are all for some reason hot blondes.

 

SF is full of weird shit, you just overlook it on purpose.

Same with stuff like Dragonball.

The weird shit in street fighter isn't immediately obvious. You can't tell Necalli is an ancient goo monster by just looking at him.

It's not about being obvious or not.

 

People just overlook stuff when they're familiar with it.  If you found someone who had somehow never been exposed to western media and tried to explain the Marvel Cinematic Universe or western comics to them they'd think you were insane.

 

Western stuff can be just as weird as anime -- it's just that a lot of people see it as the 'norm' because it's what they grew up with.

Let’s not forget that both Ed and Falke do the thing where they are like 5 but look 20

Well, I don’t follow DB either so I don’t know about that, but anime games (GG, BB, etc) just have odd character designs to me... Aesthetically, everything has too much detail (for me) and  is so over the top... I get that’s how Japanese designs typically are, but as an old ass, boring, westerner, these designs just don’t appeal to me. Then you have these characters who are also 1 years old or some shit, and it just adds to the wackiness that pushes me away.

 

and no offence to anyone that likes these designs. I do think they’re very well done - they’re just not for me. I’m just a boring old fart that never watched an anime other than the Akira movie (which I only liked for the awesome animation if I’m being honest) and the very first episode of DB which I watched when I was bored and downloading DBFZ 

 

also, I agree that the wackiness in SF or MK or whatever is something I grew up with and am accustomed to, so I’m overlooking things in those, whereas I’m more critical to new things I’m not as familiar with to see how I feel about them when I’m determining if I want to get into them

Most of the GG Cast are Rock/Metal References from top to bottom.

Ky has a attack thats named Ride the Lighning

Sol is listening to Queens 24/7 to the point that Sin started to plug his ears.

Elphelt is literally guns and roses.

 

Most of the BB Cast are Pop-culture references.

 

Im set dead smack in the middle of europe in a tourist city that trys to come around with north german clichee stuff to hug tourists in.

The weirdest character designs (and also the most boring ones) for me are all in NRS Games.

Because even SF is to 90% just basic anime designs.

And foot fetish exposure...... loots of it.

That’s cool and all, but let me know when Ky comes out looking like Cliff Burton and I’ll try him out.

 

I do realize Axl is very much an Axl Rose themed character and that’s cool (even though I don’t think too highly of Axl Rose).

 

My favourite GG characters are the more traditional kinds: Jam, Kum, Baiken, etc. I just like more traditional/simplistic themes

Kum

Say what you want about me but I will never play this character just because of her name. 
 

My taste in GG characters is similar tho. Baiken is best, and Jam is up there too. Ram is my second favorite and I-no/Pot probably round out my top 5. 
 

One thing I’ve noticed about myself is that the more anime a game’s character designs are the less I like the dudes. Marvel and MK have plenty of male characters I like but in a game like GG not many catch my eye. 
 

Edit: The black dude in Strive is fly tho so I’ll give them props for that.

Bruh...you've got a zombie girl attached to a giant key, a young man strapped to a hospital bed, an insane doctor who fights with a paper bag over his head.  

 

Don't pretend like SF even comes close to how weird guilty gear is.

Lol. The fact that there’s a girl inside of him is wacky af and makes me not like him... I only saw that after I labbed him for a few days and was finally able to win a match against GetTheTables

Those were some fun ass fights. I think GG is still my favorite of all the games we've played. Looking forward to Strive and hopefully solid rollback.

Put some respect on Fausts name. He looked weirder without the Paperbag on his head.

Also he attacks you with Door Teleports, thats cooler than anything anyone in SF could ever hope to do.

 

You've got two giants who think they're a Car and a Potato.

Some hitler wannabe with magic powers, who brainwashes underaged girls to be his bodyguards. Who also wants to become a cute blonde

A Hobbo who does nothing and is still more relevant than anyone else.

Two Colord Wannabe Jesus.

Some guy in a thong with brother and inferiority complexe

An ancient Goo Monster whos best Move is to puke on the floor

Golden Abe Lincon

An insane Robot who's insane cause he's female now

And a lesbian bike rider who wears way to much Latex to be in a  T rated game.

Okay, I'm on SFV right now.

 

(unrelated: side effect of today being the "real" console launch is that I know have to update a bunch of games).

Sure -- I'm updating SFV on console right now.  Haven't booted it in a long time.

 

Can't wait to have consoles that match my PCs in performance again...
