Shahenzan Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Really weird to compare FF7 and SF2, they have a totally different weight to their respective franchises. SF2 IS SF, the franchise owes everything to that game, and there's a very easy argument that the whole genre of fighting games owes everything to that game. FF7 is monstrously successful and engrained into culture as a franchise unto itself, but it is ultimately just the fattest of several golden geese in the FF series. SF2 is an origin, FF7 is a landmark. Square enix milks FF7. Capcom does not "milk" sf2, it either gives that game the burnt offerings it is due or suffers wrath lol Sonero and Shakunetsu 2 Link to comment

The manga Tiger Mask was first published in 1967, and Tormenta debuted in the ring in 1978. It's a case of life imitating art. King however absolutely could've been influenced by Tormenta, but only for the priest thing. All of his moves reference real or fictional wrestlers, the vast majority of them Japanese.

I suppose that's because the first real wrestler to use the Tiger Mask gimmick was Satoru Sayama in 1981, when Antonio Inoki acquired the rights of the character from its creator Ikki Kajiwara. 1981 was also when the second animated series of Tiger Mask debuted, three days before Sayama's debut as Tiger Mask, in an obvious marketing move to promote his enormously successful stint.

Sonero Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Feels like SF6 is gonna make people flex their execution a bit in some areas. You don't have a wide ass open cancel window like in 5. So don't expect to go in with the idea that you can do that type of stuff in it here. DP shortcut from SF4 is back. That's been 3 different games where doing downforward, downback, downforward gets you a DP. Might as well make that the new motion for it at this point.

Shakunetsu Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I have this for years now except for years now. I always wanted a story brief about how the switching of name happens in a NARRATIVE way. I have posted some bits of this in SRK by playing with perspective, but I have figure out in the pandemic. starting with Balrog and Mike which I posted in different forum. by making it a mistake on reports and data among the Shadaloo Henchman that have barely information, because they operate in secret and in the shadows thus confusing them and data about there documented profile in the 80s and 90s were un refined Almost of their mission are either assassination of someone that is an obstacle to Shadaloo's goal, that making the info about them before alpha timeline are only known through gathered from either far distance or just glimpses of them or what's left in the scene. kinda like how myth and legends are told similar to the JACK THE RIPPER because the WITNESS that had glimpse of them were survivors but weren't their TARGET. Everything known about JACK THE RIPPER were mostly speculation Since this was after and before Alpha not when they became seen and expose to the rest of the cast like Chunli, Nash and Guile. The story takes place aftermath of Alpha during Bison first defeat. it start of Boxer reminiscing his past and the days he got into Shadaloo without knowing his past life as Mike. While him now declaring himself as the new big leader of the Shadaloo during Dictator's recovery and absence after he got obliterated in Alpha That Boxer quicky rise to ranks and became henchman thag Dictator can rely into more than Claw that is selective of his missions. Boxer story took place After SF1 Boxer first mission and when he became finally a high ranking henchman of Shadaloo because of Claw being unreliable. Before SFAlpha Boxer ruling of Shadaloo for a brief period, because Bison is obliterated in Alpha. After SFAlpha. Dictators new Body CCTV footage. Before SF2 took place. Some kind of a short story named SHADALOO RISING. its something I have been thinking for along period of time but i haven't had tools to do it. the backstory Boxer and Claw and how the mistake happened on switching names that the mistake was from them being like how jack the ripper is perceive and the lack of basis regarding their identities.

And quite honestly the publisher is horribly mismanaging the project It had massive gaps between info dumps re-release, it had next to no advertisement, it's not at two consecutive EVOs, people had to wait for months on end for balance patches, the first DLC character was teased *last year* and is only coming sometime during Summer, the other season pass roster members haven't been confirmed yet we're supposed to shell out money essentially a year in advance since the final character won't be out until 2024, and NOW THAT arc tour ended we don't even know if it'll comeback for another competitive league Jocelot 1 Link to comment

Some seems to think there will be a mechanic with how close Delilah is to the bed since it has animations that seem to change when they are in proximity.

They're not developing these games entirely on their own For dbfz they had support from Bandai Namco (sound team, publishing, developers) For GBVS they had support from Cygames (music, writing, etc) For DNF they mostly utilised help from Eighting (design wise) I'd assume all of those projects also had additional developers for coding, polishing, UI, graphics Team Blue is also mostly free since BlazBlue is dead and is a significant chunk of ArcSys, while Team Red is primarily focused on Strive, including Ishiwatari himself So I'm not too surprised they're juggling this many games all at once. The biggest question is how many coding staff they had to dedicate for rollback implementations in each project, including previous titles And of course we don't k ow if they're secretly cooking up another new fighting game (persona 5 arena cope) TWINBLADES and delete_me 1 1 Link to comment

HSF2 was a dead game to SF normies it wasnt even release on PSP nor released on virtual console if USF2 didnt have those edge lord characters SF normies wouldnt care on it. those guys arent into competitive or 1:1 perfect ports those are into content and tons of characters. the aftermath of fgc darkage is when SF2 gets a bit of love again from SF normies but if there is simultenous released of A3 with new modes and sf2 new modes in nintendo switch while needing to choose one over the other. many normies would go for A3. ACSHUALLYYYYY..... SF2 WW, CE, and HF saw PSP releases as.part of the Capcom Arcade Collection, and I believe there was a version of SF2 released on GBA but someone.would have to check me on that. HSF2 had control issues (charging mainly that affected Vega and Guile) so that game wasn't taken all too seriously, plus CE Dictator ran the show I think. USF2 is actually a really.good game too, it's just that old heads don't want to learn new things and that it's trapped on the Switch.
