I think the latter half of the season 3 dlc is really fun. Sakura, Blanka and Falke have a bad case of SFV tho.

G is really fun and I’d say the game overall is more interesting than Fighterz.

I disagree about Blanka, he's not bad at all and about as interesting as that stupid loving character can be.

For me the problems were always the online infrastructure and the business model of the game, and those are still as lovely as they've ever been. As a game to play with friends, it's always been alright, and it continues to remain alright.

Sakura: low damage garbage
Blanka: surprisingly fun and not at all bad
Falke: worst character in the game
Cody: not Cody
G: owns
Sagat: a worse version of what he once was

Season 3 was better than Season 2 but that's not saying much really

I think Sagat is fun and he feels powerful enough to me, he brought me back in to this game but the shitass online is sending me back out. Playing non-sf games has made me realize I hate it how it feels to input combos in this game, I feel like everyone else does it better.

What is different in Blanka’s play between this and Ultra IV that he’s no longer considered a gimmick?

His command grab adds an interesting dimension to his toolset instead of just hopping around like an idiot hoping for a stray hit to do The Combo, and SF5 being SF5, ending blockstrings in electricity puts him at +3 which means it's actually a really good starter for offense

his VT2 is also incredibly nutty and pretty much allows him to steal entire rounds later on in the match by doing gimmick ball->hp+hk strings, allowing you to cross up (-2 ob) or stay in front (+2 ob) at your leisure.

As a super gold Chun I’ve had a real easy time with almost every gold/super gold Sagat. I don’t know if people just don’t know what they’re doing with him yet or what, but slide punch under fireballs, assume they’ll uppercut more often than not, and ex legs when they try that v triggered charged up kick and it’s lights out.

This is an example of what blanka can do with a VT2 activation (should be at 6:50 in the video). When I say it's "+2 on block", blanka's free to continue pressure.

also there's a lot of safe specials that convert into pressure in this game, i don't know where you're getting the -10 from.

Pretty much every console release character in vanilla was really strong, just unexplored. Sakura was probably the weakest of the lot other than Dan but still had a lot of cool poo poo. She suuuuuuuuuuucks in SF5

So i started playing this game as my first Street Fighter yesterday, since it seemed much more my pace than DBFZ which at least taught me I could enjoy fighters (so far I'm enjoying Ken, which somehow feels worse than playing Mario in Mariokart, like you know you're basic but aren't doing anything about it).

I just had a quick question on alternate costumes: are there ones you can get through unlocks or the gacha, or is it all that you specifically need to buy them with real money? I feel like having costume unlocks as incentive to pay attention to certain characters will let me digest it all better, instead of the 'here's a whole roster, you figure it out' approach.

Ken is cool. You can unlock a story costume by doing the character stories but those are like 3 to 4 fights long. you can also unlock colors extremely slowly by doing the interminable survival mode

It should be mentioned character stories unlock the ability to purchase story costumes. $2 or 40,000 FM and they made sure fight money has infinitely more things to spend on exclusively now and infinitely less ways to earn the drat thing.

Yep, only time story mode costumes were free were when they gave everyone ryu and chun-li’s costumes to make up for the fact that they needed over a month after launch to even get the store up lol

They severely lessened the amount of FM you earn. I have most of the stuff I want but it's pretty bad. A lot of outfits are only buyable using real money as well.

It's like Lenin said
I played SF2 Turbo back in the day, and also a fair amount of SF4 around launch and then again when Ultra came out. I caved and got this a few weeks ago even though it's much, much more boring to watch than SF4. I actually like it. I don't mind the season passes personally since I have very specific taste in types of Street Fighter characters.

What kills me though is how they butchered some of the classic characters' movesets. I mained Vega in SF4 and it's not even the same character anymore, it's like Vega's Nash with a Vega homage skin on it. So I'm stuck playing boring Guile.

I know people love to hate on SF5 but I thought the same thing about SF4 vega, I really thought he was terrible compared to 2. In 5 I played Rashid a lot who was new but a pretty fun character that "felt" very SF5, and Birdie who I think doesn't play like the old games either? A friend of mine buys all the season passes and I played Sagat at his place and he seems good and Sagatty

It is sort of a shame that they fumbled the costumes and some of the extra gameplay modes, because the base game feels really solid (granted I don't know fighters well enough to say that for sure), and they have some decent ideas with the store and FP stuff. A gacha for stuff like cosmetics feels like it should work great, and I really like that you theoretically can buy DLC characters without actually spending money. Everything outside the core gameplay kinda just isn't living up to what that gameplay can be.

Gameplay-wise, all I could possibly complain about at this stage is down to opinion; I don't like weird inputs like that Z-shape or the double quarter-circles, but that's probably because I don't have a lot of muscle memory built up for them.

Hi I wanted to ask if anything ever happened with Gill or if he's been forgotten.

Story mode ended with a stinger teasing him and then he was never mentioned again so I assume he died off camera or something.
