where the gently caress is his hoodie

why the gently caress did his body get swole

I seriously thought that was a new Nash outfit until someone told me it was Ed

Was the white hoodie really that great idgi

It's not the hoodie so much as there's already a decent number of beefy dudes in the game, so someone like Ed who doesn't resemble a fighter in his really casual clothes and small frame sticks out more and brings variety to the cast. Capcom decided they just wanted another Nash and beefed him up and now he looks like everyone else which is lame and bad.

He's literally a spare body for bison that accelerates to maturity, almost every Bison in SF games has a buff as gently caress body.

Who gives a gently caress about the street fighter lore? It was a different look that they hosed up when transitioning him to playable.

Sakura is poo poo like all non-Akuma Shotos in SF. 'Ryu but also young japanese girl so fans can crank it to this' is a character I hope never sees the light of day again.

Then again I would have also like one fighter in this game to not be a muscle beast from the meat dimension, but even tiny Ed got body swapped with Abel beefed up.

I wank it to Shunpu loops, Shouken loops, and goofy rear end characters with fun movesets. This is a really weird tirade out of nowhere even for you though, do you even like SF outside of third strike because you seem to talk poo poo of every member of the cast who is not from 3S.

Ed has fafnir and it's basically a juggle tool. Idk what its use is on its own because it seems to just put Ed near the opponent if he throws it fully charged, but then they can just jump over it and punish him for it.

im actually shocked at how much negative press abigail seems to get, the dude has potemkin limbs and thats funny to me. i have zero interest in playing SFV but he's got a funny design and i'll take that over seeing another vet with a neutered moveset

I don't mind Abigail being goofy, but at the same time it's incredibly typical and boring by now. They had a multitude of Final Fight characters to pull from that haven't been in the games yet and it feels like "The boss that people least remember from Final Fight" is a weak and lame pull. I also just genuinely dislike how loving enormous he is from a gameplay perspective, but whatever. He's not offensively bad, but he's not really worth even chuckling at I feel because turning generic muscular henchman into goofy playable character has been done to death in SF now.

I can't believe they managed to make me excited for more SFV content. Cody and Sakura look great, the two new characters are cool, Sagat, and uh Blanka I guess. Hopefully the changes to the system are good, because I would like to actually enjoy this game.

I’m not a die hard competitive fg player since I mostly look for solo play in them but why is dbfz considered bad? I love everything about dbz and the art style was amazing but I abandoned it real quick. I don’t know what it was about it. Just didn’t pull me in.

As someone who is still playing the game, Fighterz is a lot of fun, but holy poo poo is it boring playing that game once you get to a certain point. All of the visual flair, nods to DBZ, and faithfulness to the characters is super cool and nice, but fighting the same dudes who approach neutral the same god drat way and your only solution when being stuffed into a corner is to block for five years on their unending offense where you get very few spots to stuff them out is tiresome and gets old. I still think the game is a lot of fun and enjoy playing it with people in the discord and friends irl, but if I cannot imagine going to a tournament for the game the way it is now. Especially after playing Xrd again recently, a game where you actually interact with your opponent and have very individualized characters that all feel very unique.

The comparisons to SFV are apt in that you have very canned combo routes and are incredibly limited and how to innovate them with incredibly samey looking high level play, but I would definitely argue the game got a lot more good will because of how beautiful it is and the fact if nothing else it at least feels fun to press buttons in it and it shows a lot of its character personality in a ton of ways, whereas SFV is part of a franchise that has had a company that's progressively pissed off its fans and created one of the most sterile fighting games in history in every way it can possibly be.

^^^why not? Worse than the first one?

If you enjoyed the first one you might still like it but it has a lot of the same gameplay loop just with less rng on the extra battles happening. It also has a ridiculous dearth of DLC to make it through and idk, that game with as much content as it has with the gameplay it does gets incredibly boring and samey. If you ever do online fights that's a miserable hell in and of its own right too.

I honestly can't gauge how good Ed's is but it gives me some big damage if I combo with it so I think it's okay? Might not be worth using over snatcher, but it's def got utility.
