I got really sad when they announced this character. They will fuck everything about what he was in 3rd, for sure.
>no one cares
I haven't had a single casual match against a character other than alex for the last ten games, and there's been like 3 threads about him in... the last 7 hours ish...?
>SFV
>Pokken

Is this the end of the fighting game renaissance?
>>332648251
I only had a single ranked match against an Alex player in an hour or so.

KOF XIV keeps getting better and better.
There's nothing bad or wrong about it so far besides the models on some characters, and those are improving quickly too.
>>332648293

They ruined him with that shit SFV design.
Urien is gonna look like shit too.
>>332648364
Yeah, cause people are afraid to lose their points with a brand new character so they play casual matches.
>>332647236
>4$ for ONE fucking costume
>Only 3 colors for characters in the shop
>>332648364
Why would people jump on ranked with a character they have less a few days experience with?
>>332648772
Those faggots should fucking kill themselves. Points mean literally nothing.
Nah, they just realized that casuals don't want to play charge characters
>>332648825
Because you have fundamentals and it's not hard to pick up shit in this game. Stop being a retarded fucking babby.

>KoF XIV
>fixing anythingXIII was good shit tho in your defense.
He's pretty fucking fun.
I've only been playing new players in Rookie league or tier or whatever but punishing these scrubs with his c.HP -> v trigger clothesline -> super or slash is easy and hilarious
>>332648959
Yes, they're fixing it.
>>332648828
I just have matchmaking search for both ranked and casual matches at all times cause I just want fast matches, but I can't lie casual matches are superiour on the mere merit that 80% of people a) ragequit on me or b) don't do rematches when they lose (unless the game was awfully close and they stand to win more points than they could lose, or vice versa people sometimes don't accept if they won but stand to lose a lot of points if I win the runback).
At any rate, this weird mindset that points are everything and sacred and need to be protected at the cost of sportsmanship is what makes them worthless to begin with, as you get the impression most of them are not legit or meaningful anyway. There's games which handle ranking systems way better, and in those games, I'm not gonna lie I wear my points with pride too. Climbing up the leaderboards can be fun and a good motivator.
SFV though, they could just as well can them for all I care.

You're a fucking idiot troll who just latches onto the most apparent complaints about a game and then parades them around like a dog with a new toy. They've been updating XIV's graphics since the beginning and it looks better all the time.
>>332650069
why wouldn't there be aegis reflector? They'll probably put it in as his v-skill like they did with rashid.
>>332647236
Who?
Alex is fun. No idea what people are crying about.
>>332650340
Is there anything people haven't cried about in this game desu
>>332647236
Not imnterested in him, that said, i already finished his story, trial, to get his figjht money before they lock him again

I'm not defending sf5 btw, this game is trash and so is Alex and anyone who likes that faggot character. He was trash in 3rd strike.
But seriously, wait til like 4 or 5 pm. You'll have your little influx of Alex faggotry.
>>332650246
Please god no, Rashid's V trigger is the worst fucking thing. It's like they made the character ass just so they could give him the most disgusting comeback mechanic imaginable. Yeah how about a projectile that moves slow as shit, but travels half of the stage, takes up the entire fucking vertical screen space, hits like 4 times, launches on hit so you can follow up, and it pushes him around the screen for mixups so retarded you couldn't imagine them. I sometimes get the feeling Rashid players let themselves get hit on purpose here and there when they're close to V trigger just to get the bar filled up.

Anyone else having problems finding matches after the update?
Just want to say I love this new addition to the banana-hair cast.
>>332650561
Yep, that's the only reason. I don't think I'm doing the trails they aren't worth my time and I dunno about the payout (10,000?) but I did his survival, story and tutorial to get that shit before they lock him. Not worth paying for.
>>332652340
>predictable!

>>332653836
Alex's trials are pretty easy. I don't think there's anything more complicated than a V-Trigger juggle into CA.
>>332653836
Are you telling me the trials take you longer than doing survival mode...? You need to work on your everything
>>332648809

EL-OH-EL Capcom. Get fucked.
>>332652927
>everything was leaked in beforehand, and everyone already knows what characters we're getting
That literally describes KOF's roster too.
>>332654060
> Smashing buttons in survival mode
> Is extremely easier than doing combos
Okay, I'll work on my "everything" when trials are worthwhile and not boring to do and actually add to learning.
>>332651178
You'd be surprised at how many people buy things without researching first
>>332654060
I don't know about hard mode, but I got through normal survival doing little more than crouching HK.
>>332654176
Yeah, I'm sure everyone expected Tizoc to come back as a dinosaur, and a fighter based off Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
who cares about alex
where's ibuki
>>332654193
I don't think there was a single character's set of trials which didn't make me learn something I didn't know before.
Anyway the point was that smashing buttons in survival mode is even more boring and less worthwhile. The only saving grace is I can do it while waiting for matches.
>>332654352
Yeah but you do that for what, 30 matches?
I mean I figure everyone wants to do everything anyway, ultimately, I just thought the notion that trials are boring and time consuming while survival is where it's at is funny.
It only took til the end of the month for Alex to be "already" available.
>>332654283
Yeah, but what excuse do game journalist sites have? It's their job to know this stuff, but they act just as shocked and outraged as the people they're supposed to be informing about these issues.
>>332654382
We knew Tizoc was back, and about a new idol with electric powers.
Do you know how the rest of the SFV characters will be redesigned or how they'll play? Of course not, but you know who they are, it's the same shit.
>>332655197
Survival is a shit mode, granted. But I don't have to sit there and be frustrated doing combos that aren't going to be done in an actual match, is my point.
Besides, I get money out of that boring 100 stage within an hour, versus doing ten trials that may take me longer because WHOOPS YOU DIDN'T TIME YOUR COMBO CORRECTLY! DO IT AGAIN!
>>332655374
It's pretty much the same reason I avoid trials in all fighting games, not just SF5: The trials are boring, do nothing in actual matches and aren't worth my time when I'm not going to play online and just want to smash buttons.
>>332647236
Or is it no one cares about Alex? :^)
>>332653258
>only a third of the people who watched the trailer bought the game
I've always hated Alex so I'm glad he's the face of everything going wrong in SFV
>>332655927
Why do you hate Alex?
>>332649419
so they've updated it to looking like he came out on the PS2
btw KOFXIV looks like garbage.
Casual try-hards are pushing Smash as much as they can. The result is a staggered community where only the actual FGC persists.
Same with games like Hearthstone and MTG, the opitamy of pay2win games. It's silly what people try to push as legitimate competition these days.

>>332653961
You clearly don't since you randomly claim it's a parry when it's not.
>>332647236
Alex is weird, and honestly probably shit once everyone understands how he works.
He's not even a grappler, since his command throws do complete garbage damage, a bit like 3rd Strike. Including his super, which might be the single lowest damage super in the game.
So he's a slow clunky fighter with no fucking AA.

Alex was shit in 3S and he's shit in V, only streamboars wanted this faggot in the game.

Pretty much everything apart from characters and premium costumes should be unlockable by performing certain tasks within the game. And for those that just wanna get them off the bat, give them the choice to buy them with Zenny.
Capcom just don't know how to manage street fighter V and i can only see the game getting slightly better in like a years time.
So Best Buy sent me an extra Cammy battle costume... Anyone wanna make some kind of exchange for it?

That's really my only biggest issue. Sure, everything else is jewery, but that's fucking obnoxious when the AI in SFV survival reads your inputs without warning in the last few rounds.
>>332657707
>should be unlockable by performing certain tasks within the game
It's all FM, that's literally how it works

>>332658210
>tfw you have to play street fighter 5 to get thing in street fighter 5.
fucking capcom.
>>332657947
yeah cry about shit you should just be able to unlock anyway by doing storymode, trials and survival. Because giving people storymode costumes is such a daunting task. And giving people character based profiles when doing said story and trials is also hard.
Seriously you don't unlock anything for the fucking game, at least in street fighter IV could unlock taunts, colours, titles and images just by playing the fucking game.
>>332658037
Wait wait wait hold up
does that mean I can buy a custome, then play survival with that costume, then I get more colours for it?
if so I might get weak, god rashido's story mode attire looks neat but I'd rather not do the default color
>>332658065
But that's not how it should work though. Think about it, when you've done the story, trials and a good majority of characters in survival, hard mode being the most doable how else will you unlock fm? because you certainly don't get nearly enough as it stands.
>>332658210
They haven't even introduced the daily challenges yet. Quit your bitching till then, as for now everyone's got more FM than there's stuff to spend it on.
>>332658352
The cock sucking is real
im having fun with him i dont understaand
>>332658576
>implying they'll follow through with Daily Challenges

HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>332658401
You literally get fight money from playing the game you fucking faggot. Quit losing and you'll make plenty
>>332658653
Just wait until some FGC tourney cocklicker uses him and everyone jumps on the bandwagon even harder
>>332658585
No your just a faggot all you have to do is play the fucking game. What do you mean hellish grind you mean Survival/online matches? What the fuck would you do anyway? Grind the 4 match story mode for all the bullshit?
>>332658864
Ken had a hard life
>>332658764
never seen so much defense over bad game design. Obviously unlocking story mode costumes that are already available within the game. and unlocking character specific profile designs is such a bad fucking idea. without grinding the game to get fight money.
>>332659058
You still never explained how it's anymore of a grind then having to put in a certain amount of matches/time limit to get it. They are both grinding in different fucking ways. You are objectively wrong on this point
>>332658210
>you can make back a big chunk of what you spend on a character in 20 minutes of trials and survival
>by the time we actually have characters to buy they will have dailies in
>>332658697
I got fucking 300k, what am I gonna buy with it? Even if I was a retard who felt the need to buy a bunch of costumes and colours, and a title for good measure, I'd still have enough to get the next couple of characters, considering how they themselves earn me half of their price back just from doing their respective survivals / story / trials and I'll probably have won the other half via playing matches.
And I don't think there's a chance they could release arcade / true story mode in june and not make it give you FM, and not do the daily challenge thing either. If that was really IT, if that was all the FM we're ever gonna earn apart from matches, there would be an outrage even bigger than the one they already have going.
I'm gonna save my money anyway cause I'm a scaredy cat and don't trust capcom, but honestly, I don't think how buy all the colours / costumes you desire would prevent you from still being able to get the characters for free as it stands. I mean unless you literally need EVERYTHING. But just hooking your main and maybe second favourite guy up in a flashy outfit shouldn't destroy the budget.
>>332652418

>>332648293

Sales could be way better but Capcom is looking at the long-term instead of just stupidly going after casuals like they usually do (although to be fair, you could make the argument that they should really be doing both). Nonetheless, the FGC is all over it.
>Pokken
Has had pretty healthy sales so far. A competitive scene springing up is in the air, but a lot of Smashers seem to like it.
>KI
Just released on the PC and seems to be doing pretty well. Has a competitive scene.
>T7
I have no idea about this game since I'm not into Tekken really. I wouldn't be surprised if 7:FR did well with both competitive players and sales-wise too. Plus it has Akuma.
Things could be better but it's not bad either.
>>332659529
>shit in my mouth Capcom!
>>332659505
Yes but it was shit and got replaced by stun gun.
>>332659204
what you don't seem to be fucking grasping is that when you finish the story, you're able to unlock a story mode costume. completing the story with A character does not give you nearly enough FM to get the costume. on the other hand completing a characters trial should give you a character specific profile design. it would take less time to get these two simple items that it would do to play multiple modes just to get these two. fucking think about it.
>>332659636
You might have a point if you didn't keep posting false information
>>332647236
I'm just pissed Pokken has fast match making. I love both games but fuckbI wanna fight!
Pokken takes less than 20 seconds, SFV takes like 4-5 minutes and I have baller internet.

>>332656724
holy shit people get mad when something else than stale fighter is mentioned, seems to be the same people who thinks you're not allowed to go ranked with another one than your main
>>332659417
...what would I need a thousand shades of black and red for? There's only so many colours around...?
I mean okay, I get it, if you tick that way, if you need everything, yeah. I personally don't really see the point in wanting to buy ALL the stuff. Unless you're ready to spend cash you'll probably have to come to terms with the fact that this isn't designed for "color collectors", chances are they're gonna pump out a thousand colours before you know it. It's like if you wanted all the knife skins in CS:GO or whatever. Pick the ones you're actually planning on using.
I just recently got around unlocking some of the default colours for my main character, after I've already gotten up to 3k lp. I underestimate how much people care about that stuff. When I think about it, it's like this is specifically made to exploit people like you then. Guess my only piece of advice would be, let it go, Street Fighter is not a fashion show. Ha that rhymes

look wise she should more or less be the same seeing as though it leads up to 3rd strike. fight style however it'l more than likely be the same, some moves probably taken out or made into a v-skill/v-trigger.
>>332660632
>I only communicate in snarky greentexts!
It's not less content, chances are, with this model there'll be more to choose from than there were in SFIV - like happened with SFxT when they swung over to doing microtransaction updates exclusively. Yeah, the "default loadout" is poor, I getcha, but other than that, I'd have figured this is a good thing for fashion fetishists. Guess it's not. Well, good thing I don't care about it. Sucks to be you. My condolences.
After playing KI for a little bit and going back to SFV. I have to say holy shit does KI look a lot better.
Well except for Kim Wu, she looks kind of strange.

>>332665173
If you play Zangief then you know exactly what you're getting into. Don't then complain that the character's bad, it's the exact same shit as people that play characters like Dan. You either stick with it and don't give up or you pick someone else. Don't play a character and then complain how bad they are unless you're a bitch. Are you a bitch?
>>332661585
It doesnt only look better, literally everything is better from the soundtrack to the online features and the training room.
Being able to see framedate and hitboxes ingame is a godsend.
Also it literally takes 5 seconds to find match and play the next one.
In SF5 the waiting time between matches kills me my man.
Alex's new theme is pretty cool, even if it sounds like a Casio keyboard demo.

I don't know which of the the All White Karin or Nazi Karin color I like better
I never really cared about street fighter but what happened to Guile?
>>332666891
I really enjoy the way most of the characters in the game play. If you think the game needs a braindead vortex character then that's fine, but I'd prefer if it didn't happen.
>>332663909
Yeah more so than many other games, but Ibuki and a few others were way worse. Granted I stopped playing before delayed wakeup was added.
>>332666227
>COMBO BREAKERRRRR
>ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAA
Christ almighty, how old are you that you still enjoy that shit? It's juvenile trash with enough explosions and noise and long stupid ass combos that you ALMOST forget that it is fundamentally a shit game.
Almost.
>>332667283
Yes it does. Every character has their own thing. Mika's thing happens to focus on setplay. If you hate the setplay then stomp her in the neutral where she kind of falters.
>>332667486
this desu
>>332667283
People complaining about ibuki are the same people getting hit by mika mixups if you cant block 50/50 in 4 you cant block 50/50 in 5.
>>332661708
That looks awful.

So I've heard that when I buy a costume, I don't get the colors until I play through the corresponding survival mode difficulty using the costume. If that's true, that's the most ridiculous unlock mechanic ever. Can someone confirm whether that's actually the case?
Cause honestly, I'd love to get the dark blue rashid story mode alt. But that'd mean, I have to pay up FIRST and THEN try to beat hard mode survival, and I'm not confident I'm able to do that. As opposed to see if I can beat it first and then buy the costume once I actually got it.
>>332668292
That's what it's like for the premium Chun-Li outfit I have.
>>332667609
I thought the whole point of a proper 50/50 is that there's no way to defend against it apart from just guessing right.
>>332661708
Why'd they turn Rashid into Singh?
>>332668463
So when you play through survival with the story mode costume, you don't get colors for the default and vice versa? Man. Ridiculous.
>>332667486
I'm not complaining about mika, if she gets me into the corner with her ass neutral that's on me. My original point was that I hope Ibuki's vortex isn't as brutal in this game.
>>332667609
I guess a lot of it comes down to the nature of knockdowns in 4 vs 5. I just have a lot of bad memories against Ibuki. Speaking as a selfish man if she comes in totally bottom tier it would tickle me pink.

>>332668492
mika's setups are closer to 50/50 than ibuki's as it was much harder to land kunai in the back than in the front her setup was more 70/30 in reality unless it was a very good ibuki even then you can make a read on how the player plays and what they want to do you're not just playing the game you're playing the player too.
Played him a bit and turned off the game.
Not really as interesting as USFIV, but hey IV wasn't interesting in the beginning either.
To save this game they need to add and fix a lot more, because it's real bland.
>>332656539
ok
>>332668292
Yes, it's just as retarded as you described.
There's also going to be colors you have to pay for on top of purchasing the costume.
Alex is such a weird character in this game.
Because he has a charge attack, a half-circle, a Z shape, a quarter circle specials, AND an offensive V-trigger ability.
I'm hoping seeing Dan, Ehonda, and Hakan mentioned in Alex's story mode, (and Dan in the DLC shop), that we will see these characters soon.
Blanka hopefully also. It doesn't feel like a main SF game without him at this point.
>>332668886
ken went overboard with that hair gel
>>332668764
What does Mika have that can't be reversal'd out of other than Nadeshiko stuff you get to land once a game if you're lucky?
>>332669340
Also I'm really glad we can get that Alpha Ken costume now.
Was so sick of his new regular costume, and his new alt is awful.
>>332669387
Mika has some really hard to block setups or tickthrow setups and this aint 4 not even half the cast can reversal something invincible you have to respect peoples pressure on wakeup sometimes.
>>332669387
And if mika spends it right away she can get 2 triggers a round easy.
>don't even own the game
>just enjoy watching pros play it
Anyone else in the same boat?
mfw I was more excited about the colors
Battle costumes when?
Where's cop Chun Li and Vintage Ryu story costumes?
Is there any way to punish FANG players who use his Super on wake up, or is he safe?
>>332670186
You got them for free. It's there way of saying sorry they are incompetent.

The thing with Ibuki's kunais and a lot of stuff in SFIV really is, it's not just impossible to block on reaction, and allows for continued pressure even on block, but it's also got a build in reversal bait that makes nearly every reversal whiff.
And half of the cast is half of the cast on "hard to block" or tick throw setups where that is simply not the case in SFIV. I mean, all of the cast has those. But that's not really a "vortex". You can not just eat reversals, you can also for example lose advantage when people empty jump / backdash and what not.
Every competent Ibuki / Akuma / Seth would do that shit where it's impossible to block on reaction, but even if you guessed right the pressure would still continue and those were literally your only "options", any other action got you punished by default. SFIV was terrible when I think about it, not even high level Skullgirls is that heavy on the guesses.
Serious question here.
How do I link in the V-triggers into combos? What's the right timing?
It's my main weakness in terms of input combos.
Most characters I get to like trial 7 and hit the wall, so to speak.
(Though birdie's one I managed to do all off. His inputs are newbie friendly)
As is, if I activate my V-trigger with Ken for example, and I never get to use it properly since whoever I play with starts running away, or tries to finish me off fast (if they have the lead).
>>332670328
Cool, didn't know.
Thanks
>>332670270
Jump normal? People never seem to punish me when I do yolo supers on fang so I don't really know what to tell you.

>>332670450
Not exactly sure what your problem is. You can treat most V-Triggers like roman cancels. Do a sweep, V-Trigger, the recovery is cut down to zero and after the cinematic (which is really just hitstop without any properties) you're left with a thousand +frames on block. Ken's also has a little "teleport" iirc since he moves during that hitstop. Use it to cancel long range pokes and be right in their face to either continue the combo or keep up the pressure.

Fun fact baiting reversals was everyones gameplan in 4 because everyone had one. The only people doing airtight vortexes were people like MOV on ibuki and tokido pre akuma nerf basically the best of the best. I played against plenty of vortex characters in the 2K-4K range and guess what they fuck up their setups are not as on point and theres holes in their offence and focus backdash was a thing in 4.
IF the vortex was really such an issue as people say it was then why weren't vortex characters sweeping every major?
>>332659615
>capcom is looking at the long term.
That's good and all but they really killed a huge portion of their sales with something they didn't even need to do. SFV would have survived a slightly shortened pro tour, and it wouldn't have lost half its sales.
>>332668886
He looks like one of those babies with shrunken heads that lack their upper brain.

As someone who used to main Sakura and Cammy back in 4, hopefully last.
I still have PTSD from fighting all the turtle Balrogs in that game.
I hope Karin fares better against him
>>332671356
I don't even think we would have so much complaints if they just included a regular arcade mode.
It's like something they could throw together in under a week, but Capcom are being unusually stubborn about it.

>I played against plenty of vortex characters in the 2K-4K range
That's not a very good point to make.
If you look at the tournament results, yeah, granted it's not limited to the "pure" vortex characters but at the end of the day, the ones who had the overall most retarded setup game (in combination to no being utter shit at neutral) prevailed. Akuma, Seth, Evil Ryu, to an extend Rolento and Abel were mainstays. These guys were not popular for their amazing buttons or anything...
>>332670270
If the initial hit doesn't connect he's in the air for an eternity. You have to have something that can hit him.
>>332655807
0 people who watched the KOF trailer bought the game
>>332672320
Man thats the complaint though your talking about ibuki/akuma when was the last time they won shit? AE? Only seth player I saw doing well was poongko and rolento cmon son. Abel had to bait shit at least once because you could reversal FADC out of all his setups unless he wanted to roll on your wakeup and then if you woke up teching you just grabbed him instead. Eryu should not be on that list.
>>332667404
I fixed it to fit SF5.

Christ almighty, how low are you quality standards that you still shove money into capcoms throat? It's juvenile naivity with silly brand loyality that you ALMOST forget that it is fundamentally a shit game.

It's hard to get to him though, especially when he's raining down purple shit on me.
I mean I'm not too mad, since he does he does have to waste a full meter just to escape. Would still like to be able to punish him for it if anyone knows how. Karin player btw
