Well tbf, you also like Chun-Li. To give some possible insight his stomp and elbow were cool and part of what made him unique because it gave him ways to get in without having to make most of his offense wading through bullshit. Of course, that's the concept, it didn't end up being that way in any game he's ever been in, but maybe it could've been. Oh wait, he doesn't have the stomp which allowed for dirty shenanigans and were fun, his elbow which you would've thought was a gimme isn't there either, and his cool supers aren't there aside from stungun headbutt which is now a lovely special that's not gonna be anywhere near as cool as the actual move and his V stuff sounds rear end and boring.

Also from an aesthetic sense he just has like a really simple look. He's huge, wears overalls & boots, and has a cool voice that makes him sounds like he's from brooklyn and not another huge muscleman. Too bad he's now just the latter though with gross looking ripped jeans and a dumb face.

You've never even played this character and wrote all this angry crap about a 60 second teaser :P

I think Alex's v skill is cool but other than that I don't really have much interest in playing him. I'm interested in seeing how he shakes up the "meta" (sorry) though.

It's not so much me liking Chun as it is Chun being the only character that kinda sorta fits my playstyle. I like Karin better, to be honest.

And I lied, I kinda get why people liked Alex in 3S, but I really would rather see everyone else in that DLC list make it in before Alex because his basic gameplan is already there on other characters. Meanwhile we could really use a Guile, Urien or even Juri.

And really half of that poo poo isn't even angry, half of it is me complementing a character from a game I don't even like, which I will do if he's fun in this game and eat my words? So like, I don't see the issue with what I posted aside from you being a salty baby about me not liking the info I've been given so far.

I mean we could use the more unique characters first, but Capcom's gonna stagger them because they're going to end up being the most different and will probably require the most work unlike Alex, Balrog, and Guile who will probably be fundamentally similar to how they used to be

Zangief's is really boring. Like the Jazzy SFIV version is a cool way to play and Ryu having orchestral backing is so played out at this point.

He was also the final character, and the fact that he was new made me want to know more, whereas the Alex one I took as either those being his only specials (sans his command normals) or just giving a sampling considering he's already an established character. :shrug:

I dig the sax in his 4 theme but I think the build up and the high point in his 5 theme beats the entire rest of 4's theme. I refuse to budge on this point and will become bitter as gently caress about this minor nothing.

I honestly thought SF4's music sucked a lot with a couple exceptions. Solar eclipse was cool. I'd say 5 has about a 50% success rate.

Same.

I do think Alex is probably the least interesting of the DLC characters but c'mon, new dude is new. It'll be fun for a couple weeks even if he's the worst character ever. Adding anything to the barebones release game/roster would be a relief at this point.

I'm just trying to figure out what the gently caress they're gonna make Balrog's V-skill in this game. I'm afraid it's gonna be some variation of the turn around punch or the headbutt.

"dirty boxing", vskill is a command grab where he goes in, grabs them, and bites them.

or make turn around punch a vskill or something

I'm pretty sure his v trigger is an install that lets him do the clothesline. So more like Karin than Vega.

It's kinda ambiguous, but you're probably right. The clothesline itself is one of them "sick reads bro" moves - one hit of armor, chargeable, breaks guard at full charge. I'll assume it'll waste half his V-Trigger meter if it's an install move.

I get the impression it's closer to Vega than Karin (or at least Mika, considering Karin gets an entirely new set of moves in V-Trigger), or maybe even Zangief's (considering it's a move but can be charged).

The way the description phrases it is it's like Vega's where it's one attack. If it's an install I can see it being kinda better but it sounds like its utility mostly comes from being charged which makes it kinda ehhhh
