Not saying that view isn't valid - quite the opposite, as I've been making that qualifier every time I talk about this, but using this thread as a measure of SFV's popularity can be a little misleading; it's still the most intensely-negative place I've seen the game discussed.

This game is selling worse than SF4 did

3S is gutter trash, but everything about 3S that's not playing 3S is pretty cool.

This game isn't the first major fighting game to be released in a long time like SF4 as opposed to being released two years after SF4's last update. Not saying the game isn't selling relatively poorly, but that's a misleading comparison to make.

EDIT: Reminds me of that goon that tried to use SF2 as the baseline for all fighting game sales :lol:

Crowded Street is really boring but Goddamn do I love Ryu and Akuma's themes in 3rd Strike. Gill's theme is probably one of the best final boss themes around.

This might be because I listened to a lot of Roni Size and poo poo when I was younger though.

Like I think the SF4 editions of Crowded Street are much better because it personalizes both versions of the themes for their respective characters and feels more like fighting game music. All of the other 3S remixes in SF4 vary from alright to decent, but none of them really outdo the original except Crowded Street for me.

Yeah, I was about to say if some doofus thinks all the music in SF2 is the same pretty much nothing is sacred at this point

It's a fun game that starts falling apart at the highest level of play and honestly that kind of applies to 90% of fighting games and those that don't are kind of an exception

I think SF5's poor sales might have something to do with a lot of websites, reviews and word of mouth saying "hey, don't buy SF5 because this game is no where near a finished product suitable for mass release yet" because the game is no where near a finished product suitable for mass release yet

Oh yeah, I don't like Remy's theme much. Remy is cool though, he should be added to SF5 so we can have all flavours of sonic boom.

serious business
Capcom did a lot to force jazz style music into their games, especially since around Alpha. I think MvC2 had the longest period of irrational hatred towards it's soundtrack, until it became nostalgia. Once they started doing fusion/rap poo poo CvS etc it was like they were giving up on the human race and deciding that their fans will not accept anything but noise in their ears while they play. It may not be everyone's cup of tea or not up to what people expect from iconic tracks, but SFV's soundtrack is one of it's definite strengths (at least in terms of music quality, not how it 'fits' or whatever.) That said, I've had SFV muted for a long time now while playing because I listen to other poo poo while I play games, but that's personal preference.

I mean SFV's soundtrack is fine for character themes and poo poo for the most part, I just wish literally any of the menu music was better and that I could listen to any of the character themes from the story mode. Sakura got a super cool rear end new version for her appearance in Karin's ending and it was loving sick and I can't find it by itself anywhere.

I kinda wish they would bring back the SF2 main theme for the menus.

Either that or any of the 3s menu music. That would get me right in the nostalgia.

I think this might be the coolest version of Guile there's ever been. They finally gave him some new toys to play with. And the sunglasses are always on.

It would be hilarious\awesome if they gave him CPS1 chains as a target combo. Which wouldn't be that outlandish at this point because Ryu has one with a medium and two heavies and I was like "lol wtf they seriously put this in the game?!" when I found it.

The crouch walk is interesting, but I though bazooka knee served that purpose in SF4. If guile can actually block while creeping forward, that would be reeeeal cool. For instance you could catch cammy trying to buffer her cr.mk xx spiral arrow

Crouchwalk is probably just down forward, with everything that entails.

presumably the crouchwalk is just holding in down-forward so you will probably have to roll back to down-forward to block and keep your FK charge

SF4 was seriously lacking E. Honda's bathhouse. SF2 had the best stages, but SFA2 is worthy runner-up with Sodom's Kabuki Trucker, Metro City, the bikes in China, Sakura's backyard, Birdie's toilet and the grassy field in Australia.

I also think New Generation \ 2nd Impact had some cool looking stages (particularly Yang's) but 3s is the only version of SF3 anyone has ever played and for good reason

I'm really hoping that Balrog gets his casino stage back.
