The Street Fighter V Thread, vol. 2

[delete_me]

After the last ten-ish characters or so, Luke seems very basic. Weird way to finish up the game, but then again this was never really planned in advance. It's funny how much Capcom pushes him but I've yet to see anyone being excited about the character himself. Gameplay is one matter but I find him fundamentally uninteresting and his ingame antics kind of feel at odds with the little story snippet they showed.

 

I wonder how his tackle works and if it will be a better or worse version of Lucia's. They haven't mentioned if it can be cancelled so I assume it can't, which makes the overhead kick seem a bit pointless. The recharging V-Trigger seems more like a case "let's try this, we haven't done this before" than an actual game changer. Probably easier to just spend the resources straight away and wait for the second one than trying to extend the duration with normal combos.

Well SNKs Sprites were excellent work after years of experience.

They are still pretty new to the 3D models, at least they look much better than in XIV.

And they focus currently to make the correct areas look good first.

Oh the models themselves are fine. It seems, to me at least, that the leaner look for their female characters was an artistic choice. I mean Ryo's a brick house and Mary can't get any muscle tone....

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, so I'm rolling with this:

 

In other news, it is time for all of us to exercise our strongest constitutional right. It is time to rise against bad regimes. It is time for even Republicans and Democrats to join hands and sing kumbaya. It is time to vote.

The announcement thread has six pages of gushing, with precisely one user daring to ask why this kind of design gets a pass in 2021, and being promply met with "well other games are worse" and "she's been like this since 2001".

I wonder if that automatic throw counter thing will be a universal feature in SFVI, maybe leaning more into the RPS mechanic by making throws also risky on offense, not just defense.

[elliephil]

I think it would be cool if they brought back the guard meter or some iteration of it from the Alpha series. I really hope that counter thing doesn't become universal. Seems kinda lame.

I didn't watch the update vid, but ngl, Luke doesn't look like a character to build around.

Luke players are trying to be like their fathers. So they accept their Ls instead of Option Selecting them. 👀

Somebody really came up with Rashid's V-skill 2 and then told themselves it was a good idea.

 

I swear I do less air dashes in Strive than this guy is doing in this match.

I've never been a fan of guard meters. It punishes people for having good defense imo.

The only thing you need to discourage too much blocking (if there is such a thing) is a healthy amount if chip damage. Chip damage on all attacks like Mortal Kombat or the grey recoverable damage like SFV is also good. 
 

I also don’t like guard meters, but because I don’t like the game enforcing a limit on how long or how much I can do a basic action like that. It’s much better design to have a soft limit with increasing risk/cost since it leaves more room for player decision.

Agreed a modern SF game with guard meters....you think Season One SFV was too offense based.... 😔

It could've been one too. Think thats the part that'll bother me forever. Instead of making the game good, it stays really alright to lukewarm.

 

The fact that comebacks are forced into existence by game hasn't stopped being annoying. Even more so if you go to a game that doesn't have that issue.  

 

This game definitely has a large amount of things I dont want to see back. Its actually crazy how many of them I'm good never seeing again in an SF game.

I'd like to see an SF game that doesn't have a bunch of dumb subsystems in it and just has characters with REALLY great movesets. I realize this is highly unlikely in this day and age, but a SF game that feels as light as 3s but without any subsystems is one Id probably come back and play.

That's why I looked at his V-Skill because it's the only unique thing about him, everything else is just a modified shoto à la Lucia.

 

I'm not saying his V-Skill becoming universal would be a good thing, I'm just wondering what, if anything, out of his moveset is a glimpse into SFVI or if it's just bait like Omega Mode.

[DoctaMario]

Omega Mode was the most interesting thing about SF4 tho. If SF4 is like a super conservative chick that only goes missionary and doesn't give head, Omega Mode is her slutty, punk rock listening, tattooed sister.

How was omega mode bait? The biggest non character specific change was the input buffer that effectively killed 1 frame links, and that made it into SFV. 
 

Even some of the character specific stuff made it, like Ryu’s parries.

Real talk, we gotta stop slandering missionary.

 

That's a GOAT position and the only people that hate don't know how to execute it. Its the SF2 Ryu of positions: the people who say its bland are the ones that don't know how to play it.

Yeah yeah missionary is great, but if that's all you do....

 

Would that make Guile doggystyle?

Missionary is like playing guitar. Yeah you can learn a few strum patterns and say the instrument is boring. Or you could actually learn to play guitar and realize that there's a lot you can do once you add technique to it.

 

Doggy style is the autotune of fucking.

I'll do it but its been put on a pedestal because of porn. You also don't really have access to a lot of the other touching that heightens a position.

 

Plenty of other positions offer you more to do for your partner than doggy.

 

Yeah, missionary has a bad history. But now that we have really comfortable beds to do the nasty on, its way top tier. I've heard men complain that some women just lie there during missionary. Thats just telling on yourself. You gonna tell me that you had a naked woman in front of you, had complete access to all her erogenous zones and couldn't elicit a response? Fam, we gotta talk about how bad you are at fucking.

It depends on the game in my opinion. I think in a game like sfv, yeah it's a bad mechanic. In something where pressure is actually real and you're put into a situation to make a decision (not just delay tech or "take the throw"), I think it's a fun thing to have, especially combined with alpha counter.
