>All this hype surrounding Alex release
>Nobody even likes him, he just feels "off"
>Costume shop not even up
How can Capcom fuck up so badly?
i like him. He plays different, you gotta have patience, his combos are a lot slower than everybody else. I love them command air grabs, also the reason why i also love mika
>>332559985
>Nobody even likes him, he just feels "off"
He's ridiculously well made and has stupid damage and stun. It's day 1, stupid.
>>332559985
He's a different character that shares the same moveset because it's a new game.
>>332559985
>how can capcom fuck up so badly
Just you wait until the next character isn't released until May 3rd, you ain't seen nothing yet
>>332559985
Just tried him out, and I love how Alex plays right now. Gonna put some work into him.
>>332560941
Command air grab? Didn't see that in the move list at all.
>>332562709
It's very optimistic to think this game will still be active come June.
>>332566387
Retard Steam kid.
SF4 lasts 8 years, but SF5 is going to die in June? You're a fucking idiot.
>>332564448
I think he means the anti-air grab? The jumping knee attack.
>>332566621
What motion is that? I went through the whole list in SF5 for Alex trying him out and didn't see an anti-air/air-to-air grab move unless I missed something.
Would be fucking useful with his multiple launching moves.
>>332567932
I think the motion is Shoryuken with a kick.
>>332559985
>Nobody even likes him, he just feels "off"
A ton of people like him. Not to mention that it hasn't even been a full day since he's been released.
So whats the deal with the premium costumes? Where are they?
>>332568067
Shit how the fuck did I miss that. Well that's fucking great then.
>>332568179
Real money shop (and the premium costumes with it) launch... later. When? No fucking clue.
Also are the story costumes supposed to be free? They showed as costing fight money in the shop but we were using Chun Li's story costume in locals today without buying it.
>>332566549
SF4 sold well initially and didn't suffer from massive backlash due to an embarrassing lack of content and polish from both casual and pro players alike.
>>332568424
I think Ryu's and Chun Li's were given for free, but the rest you have to buy (after beating their trials it seems?)
>>332559985
>those proportions
Jesus fuck. That's KOFXIII Ralf/Clark bad.
>>332568489
>polish from both casual and pro players alike.
Why people keep on claiming everyone thinks SFV has bad gameplay?
>>332568489
What content was in vanilla anyways? A shitty arcade you were forced to play because the dumbshits actually locked characters and...?
>>332568724
Story modes
>Costume shop not even up
But it is
>>332559985
This amuses me.
> people don't like Alex
Who are you talking to?
Anybody I know who liked him in 3s has the general opinion he's good if not great. Sounds to me like you're either getting shit on by Alex players or you just don't like he playstyle.
>>332570054

That explains why there's dozens of them online
>>332571131
how so?
>>332571131

>>332559985
Fucking piece of shit was made to appeal to degenerate Barafags and he does retarded damage.
>>332559985
>>332570054
Why did they dress him like a highschool girl?
>Charge
INTO
THE
FUCKING
TRASH
>>332571698
Alex was bara before being gay was cool.
>>332571348
Servers are trash and I get matched against the Vietcong all the time when I'm in the UK. The game doesn't even tell you where your opponent is from before it's too late.
>>332572105
It wasn't like this though >>332570054
>>332570054
what's with this stance? i mean his legs
>Lets make a grappler
Okay
>But lets make him a charge character so he spends a lot of time turtling
uhh
>>332572058
The first pic is just his original outfit
the second is a casual t-shirt and sweatpants outfit he wears in story mode
>>332559985
Because some gang of retards decided to pretend that they liked Alex despite the fact that he was garbage in 3 gameplay wise and was so disliked that they had to rush to bring in protagonists people actually liked from before. Now Capcom is releasing a meme character instead of a character that's actually liked and people are acting surprised that no one likes him.
In b4 some 09er makes some at ease loser comment even though he never fucking touched 3s
>>332572273
Alex was never a tried and true grappler, though. He was always a weird hybrid between rotation, motion, and charge.
And if you're turtling with a charge character, you're not playing them properly.
>>332572590
I can't fucking play charge
I don't know what it is, I just can't do it
I really want to because I like Alex, though.
>>332572473
I always liked Alex's design and move set, just didn't have the patience to learn him in 3S.
>>332572737
So you're a memer that never played him in 3 exactly like I said?
>>332572473
I always liked Alex, you dickniggler. I've wanted him back for years now.
Let me have my moment. If 80% of SFIII's cast can come back, so can the fucking main character of the game.
>>332572221
No, it was, he just didn't have the ape stance he has now
>>332573030
How is that the same as a fucking half shirt and yoga pants?
>>332572473
Same goes for Q, a character like eight people played.
>>332573347
what about skullomania
>>332573483
a game like eight people played
>Alexs trial #7
I just can't fucking do it, took me less than 10 mins on every single other trial, but linking MP into LP into Light Chop just seems so fucking impossible, the timing you need to go from LP into Light Chop is fucking ridiculous
>>332572694
>hold back/down
>press forward/up and a button
What's hard about this?
>>332573663
mate i can't even do his 2nd trial.
I just can't wrap my head around charge shit
>>332573663
lol wat
You know what I hate, that my EX command throw is slower than a throw.
>>332573639
Skullomania is the closest thing to an actual meme character the franchise has. Nobody fucking played EX on this board, but because he's a wrestling dude with a skeleton motif in a game from a different company, he's cool.
>>332573663
I feel your pain, anon. You'll get that 3-frame link eventually.
I had more issues with trial #10, personally. I'm not sure what dictates whether Ryu flies far up vertically or flies past where Alex winds up after the clothesline.
>>332572590
If Alex isn't a true grappler because he has motion and charge moves, then neither is Potemkin from GGXrd or Tager from BB.
When the character a good command throw that deals a lot of damage and gives you a lot of positional advantage, then its a grappler. And Alex's Hyper bomb deals damage comparable to Zangief's Spinning Pile Driver.
>>332568489
>Not knowing what you're talking about but talking anyway.
SFIV did suffer backlash on release for having terrible online functionality and for being incredibly inbalanced. It still lasted 8 years. SFV has recieved tons of praise from pros and has ecplised SFIV in terms of interest. 80,000 people were watching FR and NCR and they're not even the biggest tournament.
>>332573729
You hold back as soon as you land on the floor, hit the mp or whatever it is with the direction still held back and you'll have your charge.
>>332574123
its standing hp and backwards hp is a move, so you can't charge before after hp, which i can't get to work in time
>>332573954
How far he flies doesn't make that much of a difference, you don't want to do it when he's at the peak, do it as he's falling back down or you'll whiff.
>>332559985
I like how fucked up his stance is
>>332574249
Are you talking about his third trial? His second one is a simple charge, the third one is the f+hp one. With that you hold back as soon as you've pressed f+hp, the move has a decent amount of hitstun and charge is quite lenient in SFV. There's no real advice I can give you, unfortunately, aside from just practicing your charge techniques.
>>332573347
Q only wasn't played more because he had really low priority moves with bad hurtboxes in a game with 3S Chun and Yun, alot of people liked him and want to see them in a decent appearance like Alex.
And even if I think he wouldn't make it into the game for already having similar gameplay characters Q still would be perfect to this game.
God dammit people just love to talk shit.
>>332575113
too bad SFV alex isn't a decent appearance
I want to love Alex, cous I haven't found a grappler I feel comfortable with yet, but he just feels so wonky. His slash and charge slash are great, and he has some sick damage/setups with his V-trigger, and his command grabs are pretty good. AA is decent, normals are ok, but it just feels like something is missing. I "clicked" pretty fast with Bison and F.A.N.G, have no problems with his charge moves, but I just can't wrap my head around his play style yet.
Guess I'll have to try to grind it out with him, at least until they releaseHugo, or Balrog.
>>332559985
I can't wait for you idiots who keep hyping up Q and then all of a sudden when he finally gets added you'll all pretend you were in the crowd of people who hated him. I fucking hate the swarms of hypocrites that lurk this site.
>>332575152
That's Capcom fault for the french fries hair, not the people who wanted.
And he is decent in gameplay.
>Nobody even likes him
So far I've only heard good things about him, the only person who said he looked like shit was FChamp, which is a joke himself.
>>332575404
Remember when people said Dhalsim and Bison were top tier?
Lets wait and see how "good" he actually is
>Feels "off"
I dunno, he seems legit to me at the moment. Do you see this shit? If the player so wants to he can parry like Ryu.
You can either choose to let the charge rip, stop after the parry and defend if opponent mashes something or even fucking power bomb his shit once he's down. Opponent has to guess if he'll mash out a dp or something quick enough to beat the command grab, defend on his way down or press a button. Seems like pretty fucking solid tool to me, plus it DEMOLISHES normal projectiles. If you're at mid-range and opponent throws a normal projectile you can parry it and charge his shit, if its an ex you can still parry all hits but the charge after can be defended.
>>332575186
Most Asian looking Mexican I've ever seen
>>332559985
>Grappler is boring as fuck to play
Why am I not surprised.
Game has been shit since release and won't get better until a year later.
>>332573663
I've did all of them first try, if you have any trouble just use his v-skill so the first hit counts as a counter so it is easier to make combos.
>>332573663
>the timing you need to go from LP into Light Chop is fucking ridiculous
I take it you haven't done a single trial in SFIV
Or any fighting game ever honestly
>>332575663
>R.Mika is boring to play
-/v/2gulag
My thoughts on Alex
-feels a bit floaty and slow to control, normal/pokes are imo pretty bad and very slow.
-has some nice special moves and deals good damage
-V-trigger seems god-tier, getting free parries when I didn't even want to do that specifically. Quite easy parry window.
Also recovers some of the meter every time you parry
-English voice is best but lacks the enthusiasm and punch from his SF3 voice
-looks ridiculous without his pants
>>332573140
It's just basic training gear. Dude's a wrestler.
>>332568489
>SFIV didn't recieve backlash
Yes it did you fucking retard. Most longtime SF fans absolutely fucking hated stupid ass shit like FADC SRK and Ultras. Most people who actually play SF love the gameplay of SFV by comparison. Capcom fucked up on just about every aspect of SFV EXCEPT the gameplay thoughbut gameplay is the most important part so I'd take a dozen SFVs over a piece of shit game with extra features and polish.
Mah boi Alex... I will main him for now. Damn he is fun to play as. His c.hp > V-Trigger > V-Trigger > super or whatever is fun.
I don't like his model though. The guy who made the Q mod is working on Alex now, it looks nice, his hair looks way better and the face is good also. His stance can't be fixed though, that's the worst.
>>332575469
how do you parry as alex?
There's nothing wrong with Alex, both his design and gameplay are good, there are honestly other things to complain about in SFV, like the fact they still haven't implemented a way to punish ragequitters.
>>332576045
Lel this.
>>332576304
You don't train in that anon
>>332568489
LOL SF4 release gameplay is terrible and arguably never fixed. Focused attacks and one-frame links were never ever good.
>>332570054
Why is he wearing pajamas?
>>332575469
what the hell his parry gives him v meter while in trigger?
>>332576545
You are always free to record it happening, then post a video on the forums, then they'll undo the lp exchange of that particular match :^)
>>332576045
>SF4 trials
>Main Vega
>Most of his moves are 1 frame links
>It take months to finish all his trials
>Try other character
>Finishes most of T.Hawk trials on the first try
That game combo system was fucking weird.
>>332576427
It sold like four times what SF5 has in a month. The backlash was no where near as bad, and if you'll notice I included casuals in there too. Casuals liked it fine, casuals don't really like 5 because it's missing most of the modes they wanted.
SF5 is even simpler than 4, the fuck you talking about?
>>332576797
Because fuck you that's why.

>>332576954
If fucking only
>>332576427
The only thing good about 4 was that it had nice graphics and the hype surrounding character releases.
>>332574104
Don't forget that they had to cap off entrants at Final Round and the attraction of other well known players from different fighting games, like Sonicfox and Dogura.
>>332559985
>&! #& Not Clayton!
>>332577095
they're just going where the money is.
but for sonicfox, that new mkx tournament series means he has no reason to keep playing sfv
>>332576870
There's 2 kinds of simple, there is "there doesn't seem to be a lot of stuff to do with the moves we're given" like in SFV, and there is "it feels like I'm playing on rails because you can make your invincible reversals safe / get hard knockdowns out of every button you touch for silly setups" simple like SFIV.
The former will go away over time, as people learn more stuff about the characters, their moves and their properties, the latter only gets worse and worse, the more time people are given. SFV was made simple in all the right ways.
>>332577194
TWO WORLDS, ONE FAMILY
>>332576870
FADC, Option selects, iframes on backdash all made SF4 too safe and low-commitment in the neutral game. SFV flows better because risk is involved in everything.
>>332577095
It's down to it being so easy.
>>332577440
I don't know about all that, seeing as a lot of SFIV killers are sucking at it right now, like Smug and 801Strider.
Is Alex CA unblockable or what? I was playing some casuals matches and no matter how random I did it always hit people, I don't know if they were trying to jump thinking it was a grab but still.
>>332570054
alex's model is so low res its not even funny.
capcom dropped the ball hard on this design.
>>332559985
>how can Capcom fuck up so badly?
I don't see where the fucked up. They said they were going to release the market in "march." I was worried that that was going to be a flat out lie, but they followed through, and I respect them for it. They've also added a replay feature, which when I first started playing I was annoyed they didn't have. Challenge is finally here too, which is also something I wanted. Matchmaking is fast, and not laggy. How exactly did they fuck up again?
>>332577640
>a lot of SFIV killers are sucking at it right now
They aren't sucking, the game is just easy enough so everyone is a contender now.
>>332577907
I meant rematch not replay, just to clarify.
>>332578010
Nah, man, it's just a bunch of '09ers with no fundamentals.
>mfw people pretend to like Alex and barely any of them played him in any iteration of 3
can anyone comment on how good Alex is? I have yet to lose to one, mostly likely because they don't know how to play him yet.
>>332578323
shit
worse than all the other grapplers

>>332578212
This so hard, smug no longer has his crazy execution and 100 hit combos going for him, suddenly he sucks. Funny to see really.
>>332579090
You mean like a 3S parry?
>>332575327
Q was a fun character in 3S but he would have been absolutely fucking retarded and useless without parries. I don't see how they could make him work in V unless they just gave him parries like Ryu.
he only had like 2 normals that were special cancellable and connected on special cancel, and the main one was close standing MK which was fucking slower and shorter range than most character's HP let alone many other character's attacks.
Without parries he would just be retarded and since Ryu already has parries it makes it look bad for Q making an appearance, which if he did wouldn't even be in 2016 cause capcom has to fill out the rest of the DLC promises that probably should have been in the game from the getgo when it had a full retail release in 2017 when the game was functional and finished.
WHEN'S HAKAN. WHEN'S ORO. Seriously though, all the current SFV characters just don't feel fun to use to me.
>>332579189
Are you serious? Smug's insane execution has been taken away by execution being turned into a joke, and you think that's somehow exposing him as a bad player?

>>332568864
Because they haven't played it.
>>332579524
Well no, when you put it that way I feel bad now. In a way I feel for him, and it's not that I don't think there's no place for high execution tricks in fighting games. Just when that's 90% of your gameplan, and you can no longer do well in a game the instance your execution no longer carries you, then yeah, you're not necessarily a "bad" player but not a very well rounded one at least. He was an excellent SFIV player. But only because he's got the "SFIV specific" skills ingrained into his muscle memory. He's not one of those guys who pick up the stick, spent 5 minutes in training mode, and then decimate every fucking opponent. Cause for that feat you'd need more experience than you could possibly have amassed since 2009, playing only one single title...
>>332559985
I like him, but I've never played the games he's from. I also feel 100,000 fight money is too much.

You can get like a million just from the single player stuff, and basically every character you buy almost pays for themselves
>>332580250
no shit he just came out. hot new character to play. people aren't gonna risk point in ranked trying to play as him.
soon enough the causal players will drop him and go back to nash. the real niggas will stick with him.

>>332580584
what he say?
>>332576870
Simpler in terms of execution sure but it does things right; shit does actual damage now instead of the pitiful damage that was the norm in SF4. I'm not absolutely terrified to perform meaty attacks in V because there isn't always a half life damage 40 invuln frame super stocked on wakeup. People are forced to commit to reversals and even receive BONUS punishment when mashing DP like a retard and they get read. Getting knocked down is also no longer a fucking death sentence since shit like Fuerte and Kunai vortex is cut (though we'll have to see what happens when they add Ibuki later).
SFV is already way better off than SFIV was even in it's final fuckng version.
>>332559985
>Costume shop not even up
What do you mean? I went to the in game store and they let me buy the story mode costumes and colors. Just bought the Cammy story costume. Its so damn lewd.
>>332579351
Q would be fine without parries, even with it in 3S it was useless for him because he could parry a move and do his close forward or some special and still be hit by the opponents follow up move because Q moves were made slow and shit.
And it worked against him a lot.
>>332578297
He's my 3s main. I love him. They did a good job. Except the lame ass idle animation/pose, jesus.

>>332566387
This just proves the bad steam reviews are the current "hot meme"
You people are so fucking stupid.
They let us know why they are slowly releaseing content
If they did it you're way by the time a "full release" happens Japan will be so much better at the current meta than everyone else that hosting global tournaments would be almost pointless.
>>332580612

>>332580539
Well, vanilla SF4 if wikipedia is to be believed. But yeah, I stand corrected, guess you can become really really good in that short a time afterall.

How so? If you are low tier trash and you get the privilege to verse someone who is high tier you should know that are annoyed more than you because while you are learning a lot off them, they are learning nothing off you.

this is some sick twisted coincidence
>>332581659
>It's fine for me so it's fine for everybody.
Do you not understand how flawed that thinking is?
I live in Japan and have amazing Internet, and I still get laggy matches sometimes because the other person is using wireless Internet. The online depends heavily on things like that.

And the matchmaking isn't trash because of rating differences. That isn't even a problem. The problem is matchmaking that asks what connection strength you want to be matched against, then ignoring the setting and finding 1/5 shitters. It doesn't even tell you what fucking country your opponent is from, it literally just tells you the connection strength they think there is, and that's it. "Hey bro here's a 5/5 connection game", then suddenly it's some Taiwanese fuccboi that I average about 300ms to.

Coincidentally Laura is way more prevalent in Europe than other regions. Are you in America?

c.hp is great, can go l.chop-super off of it. Can also do an ex rising kick off of it
f.hp also works
the z motion kicks works too
>>332580612
Did I imply that? I didn't mean to.
I saw some calculations someone whipped up where it was like if you do the tutorials, trials, story, easy and normal difficulty survival modes, in addition to all the level ups which inevitably happen + some low estimate as to what you might get for arcade / the "true" story mode which are coming eventually, you're almost at 7xk per character already. In that, it should be rather easy to earn all the DLC characters, seeing how a character is nearly "worth" his own price in fight money just from what you get for playing through their content, apart from the fact that you've got 16 of them by default.
>>332582510
Hm, that's pretty cool.
You need to win 2000 online matches for a single character, now that's kinda crazy.
Also, anyone knows if the 1 million fight money achievement still counts if I actually spend FM and it doesn't get to one million even though I got it through my entire career?
>>332582458
Different guy, Should I be trying to use slash elbow in combos or stick with flash chop?
>>332559985
and, just like everything in this game, he looks fucking disgusting
What the hell does Overhaul do?
It's his MP + MK move.
I feel like a freak here because I'm actually winning like 80% of my matches online. Also I'm dominating Alex mirror matches.
I don't know how I do it, but one thing for sure, you need to aim for counters and be patient. You can't just barge in.

Top 2 french players main Laura, one of them placed first at CWC. US and Japanese players are sleeping hard on her.
>>332580768
wtf are you talking about
>>332583395
And Mika and Karin and Cammy since they made her perpetually duckface
>>332576501
Same buttons used to activate vtrigger but there's some things to know before attempting it.
If you press them while nothing is coming at you, be it a punch or a projectile Alex will do the charge.
When you do parry you got 2 options:
Keep the buttons pressed after the parry. Alex will do the charge almost immediately after it
After the parry immediately let go. This will make Alex do his parry, won't make him charge and he'll basically reset and become safe just like Ryu. If you press them again after the 1st parry you can parry infinitely just like Ryu as well.
>>332578882
>He doesn't even realise that SFIV had more mechanics that made it easier than SFV.
Yeah sure there are no 1f links anymore, so what? FADC and vortexes made SFIV a lot easier and the pros didn't couldn't stand that shit. SFIV was tons more brainless than V, V is more rewarding than that game will ever be.
>>332559985
>How can Capcom fuck up so badly
how new are you?
>>332566387
Honestly, you've got it all wrong. Because the game is more accessible than it used to be, it will grow in popularity. The community might change, but it certainly won't disappear. The game actually takes skill now. Not time sunk in to perfecting stupidly precise combos that no one outside of the community can even appreciate the complexity of. Veterans suck at SFV because they can't rely on their arcade sticks and combo precision to win them games anymore. They actually need to think now, instead of repeating memorized motions like a glorified computer. In my opinion the SFV community sucks. SF tournaments are pathetic. It's about to get better. Go cry butthurt faggots.
>>332559985
>costume shop not up
Are you retarded? Or do you mean the battle costumes?
>>332582958
>You need to win 2000 online matches for a single character
I was kinda shocked when I saw 50 FM per won match while you need 100k to get a character too, but that was before I noticed how much you get for doing the single player stuff.
I personally think it would have been better to make it so that you get a more sizable bit for winning online, but less for doing single player. After all, the guys who actually sit down and play thousands of matches are worthwhile "content" for the game if you will, and probably "deserve" to get the characters for free (which are necessary for competitive players) more so than the ones who play the single player stuff extensively. Now as it stands you kinda force the competitive guys to slave through the single player stuff they don't care about. And the casuals who would probably be more inclined to pay actual money for shit like costumes and colours and all that fluff get it just by doing the single player content they'd be playing by default either way. Conversely, if winning online was awarded with more FM that would be another incentive for casual players to get into the competitive side of things.
Oh well. Making the single "infinitely replenishable" source of Fight Money worthless probably makes balancing the Zeny price easier.
>stomp has terrible hitbox
>doesn't cross up
what is even the point
How do I get good with Alex, I really like him since I was a kid and I don't care if Capcom fucked up, I am mining him and spending countless hours training with him.
>>332584590
You can do some stupid mixups with cr.jab cancels into stun gun/stomp if someone's not prepared when you unga bunga all over them.
>>332582958
I only play in battle lounges with my friends and hardly touch ranked so I've made next to no fight money. They obviously set up the system so that you're almost forced into spending real money rather than just farming FM over and over. It's clever because they can still use the "payment is optional" argument whilst knowing very well very few people have the time or skill to win 2000 online matches.
>>332579090
late response but fuck it
I think since parrying isn't a universal mechanic the dev team wanted to make it clear to new players what a parry is, or something I dunno. Easily coulda been laziness.
>>332584846
Real talk, if you have the time to do that many matches you have the skill to win them as well
>>332581125
>online
Lel completely irrelevant to what I was even talking about fuccboi
>>332578297
I first played him in TvC m8.
There is one thing I'd like to see, IV had the same problem iirc...
The "counter" text being too small. I'd like to see it bigger, flashier. Or maybe your character flashing real quick.
>>332584543
Hm, you're kind of completely right.
Competitive players will probably have to buy some zenny since they usually don't give a shit to single player.
>Shit range
>Slower than a snail
Thanks SFV
I want to main Cammy and Laura but I heard Laura is bottom tier. Is that true?
>>332584846
>>332584543
You guys are forgetting about the daily challenges capcom will implement. Challenges that you'll probably have to do on online matches.
How did Alex get involved with everyone else for matches when he was only kidnapped by Shadaloo and put in the training room?
HeEEEy! I was waiting for ya!
>>332586229
What the hell is this?
>>332585556
Are you gonna get top 32 at Evo? If not it wont matter who you play.
If you like Laura then play her. Tier lists only apply to tourney play 99% of the time.
>>332585556
no one knows it is too early. A few weeks ago japan would have said nash is not that good.

I don't mind the Banana hair though
>>332585556
SFV is one of the most balanced fighters out there. Is there still tiers? Sure, but in this game they don't matter anywhere near as much as they did in older games. Pick whichever one you want.
>a trial to play Alex

>>332583623
About Q doesn't needing parries, I know english isn't my main language but that was pretty understandable.
>>332586887
lol
>tfw bad at fighting games but I still enjoy this a lot because it just feels and looks good
1 online match won, 11 lost. At this pace I wont be able to get fight money to dress up my Chun
>>332585556
See if you can consistently confirm cr.hp into qcf+m (+followup) on hit, but go into the projectile on block. If you can, and there are people who can, I'm telling you she's s+++ tier and we're gonna see her win tourneys sooner or later.
>>332586229
Damn, that looks good.
>>332566549
Vanilla SF4 lasted 8 years? Oh that's rich.
>>332579491
They're both in story mode so they'll probably get in eventually.
I just got home
is every match Alex vs. Alex right now?
>>332587047
>Tournaments have had a wide variety of characters in top places.
>One even had 8 different characters in top 8.
>Character considered bottom tier have won tournaments.
Everyone who knows what they're talking about agrees the game is very well balanced. Sorry if you're mad you can't beat a certain character due to poor matchup knowledge.
>>332580419
The multiplayer doesn't give you shit for fight money though and it's pretty fucking lame to have to play a fighting game on easy mode or doing tutorials you don't need just to avoid paying four goddamn dollars every time they release a character.
>>332587593
No everyone is Alex vs a rustle loli.
Why is Mike Ross so trash?

>>332583395
Alex looks great. Stop whining.
I just don't understand how this game can simultaneously look so good and so bad. It's like schrodinger's graphics; the game doesn't look good or bad until you really look at it and even then you can pick out some things that are great and some things that are just fuckin' piss poor.
>>332584351
You're an idiot if you think the community is going to grow. It's reputation is already tarnished, and the momentum is non-existent now. First impressions are everything for any game, and Capcom fucked that up in the worst way imaginable.
>>332587627
On the bright side, you get to play more of the game for your dollar.
>>332587614
>>Tournaments have had a wide variety of characters in top places.
I didn't know Karin, Ryu and Mika were a "wide variety of characters".

It's not crazy it's stupid shit. And I'm usually the one defending the game in these threads. You need to WIN 2000 matches. It's fucking asinine.
>>332587792
The giant hands and some of the faces really bother me.
>>332587960
Karin, Mika, Ryu, Nash, Gief, Chun
>>332587792
Same here. If on PC just download some mods like the shiny glitter costume for Mika (this one is great), the shiny costume for Chun, shiny metallic boots for Bison etc. etc...
>>332587745
You got the Doug v Zangief video?
>>332587047
Yes, there is top and bottom tiers, but the tiers don't go from S to E, they go from S to B+.
>>332587960
You're forgetting Vega, Nash, Gief, F.A.N.G and Chun. All have been in top 8.
