T. Hawk v Blanka in Super IV was the worst matchup I’ve ever played

Blanka looks like he got the Vega treatment. Character who relies no pokes rendered poo poo because neutral buttons aren't allowed to be good in SFV

As much as I disliked playing against Blanka in SF4, I feel sorry for Blanka mains who still play SFV for some god drat reason.

I'm bracing for what horrible crimes they're going to commit bringing Sagat into this game, he's gonna be a giant man with stubby limbs and lovely fireballs.

Is it feasible to earn a character or two in a reasonable time frame from just playing the game nowadays? I'm thinking if picking up the PS4 arcade edition.

I am a writer, a doctor, a nuclear physicist and a theoretical philosopher. But above all, I am a man, a hopelessly inquisitive man, just like you.
So is it just me or can you no longer cross-up with Blanka's back-step roll?

To say fight money gain has been completely neutered would be a massive understatement, especially for a late adopter.

I mean you can level up all the characters by doing their stories, survival mode, and viewing their demonstrations and completing their trials, but I don’t know how much it would add up to.

Don’t count on missions or winnings to earn you nearly enough.

I quit playing around the time akuma came out and without playing through the ball busting singleplayer+ mode i had bought like 3 with just fight money.

used to give you fight money in addition to the exp, plus missions had their rewards halved.

You still get fight money for leveling up, so doing all that stuff with each character will still rack you up a bit, but again, I don't know if it adds up to a character or two.

His tiger shots will have akuma like range, and his low tiger shot will be a vskill that has only one speed.

No wait I thought of something even shittier.

His fireballs will have poo poo range, but if you use his Vskill; you get one proper fireball. No wait, he can only use tiger shots in Vtrigger mode, and it's a 3 bar Vtrigger, also the tiger shots take a heavy amount of vgage.

I can do you one better. He's reverted to Street Fighter 1, and tiger shots are all he has.

LET ME EXPLAIN

Going by how they’ve been approaching things recently, he’ll have all his classic moves. Shots, uppercuts, knees. His uppercut will be slow and lovely and completely vulnerable outside of v-trigger/spending meter. His v-skill definitely won’t be a new move, and will probably be knee or maybe angry scar.

His normals will be lovely and stubby despite his being a seven foot tall son of a bitch.

Actually, trends have Sagat being a broken shitlord in the first installment of any new SF series, so I doubt V will be any different. I expect 30F Fireballs, a V-trigger where he shoots 'em at both heights at the same time, and a stand MK what somehow generates a hitbox 2/3s of the way across the screen and is cancellable on whiff.

NORMAL sagat: Emaciated SF2 look. Only mid level fireballs, tiger knee is lile Guild's knee bazooka, no Tiger Uppercut.

VTrig: Buffmode Sagat. Traditional Tiger Knee and Uppercut, 16 frames armor, 4 frames invul.

Vtrig2: Muy Thai Master Sagat. Stays lean but a car glows with an awesome power, 3 fireballs in rapid succession, knee travels 1/2 length of screen quickly. Uppercut similar to SSF2 Ken.

Is it the same car from the SF2 bonus stage?

Yes. Ken's millionaire insurance policy allowed them to rebuild it. Faster. Stronger. Gaudier.

I picked up SFV on a whim and just watching the demonstrations and doing part of the character stories got me enough for Sakura and Blanka. Whether that was a good decision remains to be seen. Finishing off the rest of the character stories should probably give me enough for a third or close to it. Considering the four remaining upcoming DLC characters I'll probably just sit on it for Sagat unless there is some other rich vein of fight money somewhere.

Really though I just found it hilarious how many trophies I was earning just for watching demonstrations.

Now that DBZF saved the Marvel players I wish someone would license like Bloodsport or something and use it to lure people into a stealth fixed version of Street Fighter.

Like for real just find another beloved cartoon series where people punch eachother, make a GG game with like 1/5th the offense and complexity, bing bong bing bong Capcom is out on their asses.

Didn't they make a ghetto and digitized version of bloodsport in 1991? I think it was called Mortal Kombat. It even had a Jean Claude Van Damme stand in who used the same outfit from the movie!

Bolo Yeung actually has four arms and they went to extensive effort to conceal them with special effects. Ed Boon regarded this as a mistake.

My hope and the thing I've heard other people say is that based on the success of DBFZ, the next game would a Shonen Jump All Stars fighting game. Which would be dope as hell.

I'm a terrible player but to be honest so far I'm finding SFV a lot more manageable to wrap my head around and the mechanics more intuitive than Injustice 2 despite that game being extremely better in just about every area. Its probably some function of nostalgia and I should have just waited for the 30th anniversary ps4 re-release of SF2 though.

Although I am an idiot because I bought it right before it went on sale.

Tbh youre not gonna notice most of what makes this game poo poo if youre new and bad but the more time you sink into it the more it reveals its rotten heart. Especially online.

I'm the same but i played a lot and desperately tried to have my usual low-tier char fun where I dont feel too bad for losing and it still bummed me way out after a while.

The cool straightforward neutral-centric game people always say they want exists before their very eyes, but they can not master their own hangups and inhibitions to just pick up a gamecube controller and play it.
