Jurassic Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Establishing a base roster for a fighting game is tricky, IMO SF6 has a great balance of new and old characters while showing progression in the story. AriesWarlock and J-ride 2 Quote Link to comment
Faltimar the Dark Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 They are trying to get rid of the old characters in the main line of SF games. That's why they're making all the OG characters get older and new younger fighters are showing up. VirginDefiler 1 Quote Link to comment
Sonichuman Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I think they mix they have for SF6 for the starting roster is actually pretty solid. 22 characters, half the roster is SF2 returners and the other 11 are newer characters. The only thing that's glaring is that the starting roster has NOBODY from SF3. They have one new character that has vague influences of one of the characters from SF3 aaaand that's it. So hopefully that will be rectified later. J-ride, HD-Man and RSG3 3 Quote Link to comment

TheInfernoman Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Capcom should be happy they can continue to use the OG cast of SF due to the popularity. SF6 strikes currently a great balance between old Gen and new Gen. DarkSakul and J-ride 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Darc_Requiem Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) 6 hours ago, Wellman said: The only flaw I am seeing with SF6 is that roster is heavy on returning SF2 alumni. I get why, they are even at the least liked among the most popular characters in gaming history and all fit or are easily tweaked into modern fighting game functions. But I am one of the crazy folks that grew to love how SF3 had no returning characters besides Ryu and Ken which itself was just like SF2 give or take Sagat as a boss character. I understand the business and how it help logistics but I really would prefer to see new characters or at least less frequent returning cast members. You are in the minority and I'm right there with you. I like new characters in my new games. I understand that every SF roster will be heavy with SF2 characters. I wish they rotate like a half dozen of the 17 SF2 characters instead of putting entirety of the World Warriors in every time. Like you I enjoyed SF3 from the outset, I liked seeing new characters and wondering what they were about. Then again, I like the fact they we are getting new themes. I like the classic themes but they've been remixing for three decades now. There is an interesting dichotomy in gaming. People claim want new things. Truthfully they don't. They want a slightly different take of the same thing. They really don't want new things. If you give them new things they complain about it being too different.

Faltimar the Dark Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I mean, they cant keep aging the OG cast members forever. I dont think anyone would really enjoy Street Fighter 8: Geriatric Edition. Million might find it funny cause they'd have moves that involved incontinence and such.

BlazBlue series creator Toshimichi Mori has left Arc System Works after 19 years, he announced. Get the full message from Mori below. I have something to report to all of the users. I, Toshimichi Mori, have left Arc System works, the company I worked at for many years. I first joined Arc System works after working on Guilty Gear X as an employee of PicPac, and I cherish many of the experiences I have had during my 20 years there, whether it was working for various fighting game titles, developing my own title BlazBlue, or connecting with many of our users. I have nothing but gratitude towards the staff of Arc System Works and others who have worked with me, as well as all the users who supported us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will depart from Arc System Works. This may cause some feelings of anxiety, especially among fans of the BlazBlue series. For this, I sincerely apologize. At the moment I’m thinking of creating and delivering a game for the users in some way, and am going to focus my strength on that endeavor. Your support would be much appreciated. —Toshimichi Mori Edited September 26, 2022 by Hecatom Sonichuman, Hawkingbird and DarkSakul 3 Quote Link to comment

axeman61 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Random, but I'm confused. What does Infinity Ward get out of making their Call of Duty games worse and worse? I gave up on IW after MW2019. I tried the free beta they have this week though, and holy shit. They doubled down on every stupid thing they've been doing (like loud footsteps and limited Dead Silence) and added more stupid shit on top of it. This new perk system they have, for instance, is fiery, bend-the-light-around-it garbage. I haven't heard anyone say they like it, or all the bad old shit returning. I have ZERO clue why they're doing all this. The cynic in me says they're exclusively catering to casuals and people that may buy stuff. But that doesn't make sense. I don't see how this is fun, for even casuals. Also, if the Multiplayer was good AND Warzone was good, that's more potential for people to buy stuff. Yet they're doing stuff nobody with a brain seems to like, and doubling down on it when people say to get rid of/tweak it. Can anyone who knows more about these games (or the business in general) fill me in on what I'm not seeing? J-ride 1 Quote Link to comment

Faltimar the Dark Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 It is hard. The platforming is tough. Not long after it came out they had to introduce an easy mode cause people were having too much trouble the with platforming. I like that game so I got the rogue style prequel to that game -Summum Aeterna. You seem to have good taste in games. These type of games and top down type games are my favorites.

Hecatom Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 BTW, People are already saying that Multiversus dead, lol. This is due the game losing a great chunk of players already, which, of course it would. Every game sooner or later loses from 80% to 90% of its top player count, which doesn't necessarily means that they are not playing the game anymore, but that they play it in rotation, for example. Then add that is a platform fighter, and like fighting games, they have a limited appeal. Even if this one is a 2 vs 2, which allows to minimize the kickback that most 1vs1 games have, it still has the other stuff that usually ends turning away people from them, since they don't offer instant gratification, even if Multiversus has all the crap that I hate from free to play games into trying to turn games into jobs. The game just had the benefit of being f2p, so with such low barrier to entry, more people where willing to give it a try. Hawkingbird, RSG3 and Wellman 3 Quote Link to comment
