I think Sakura, Akuma, and Sagat will all make it in:

They might get the Ken/Nash/Vega/etc treatment though

It's weird to me that Q is so popular, though. Avalanche of votes from the fedora demographic?

Yeah. I'm pretty convinced that Sakura, Akuma and Sagat will make it in, and I'm okay with them being turned into basically entirely different characters like Nash\Vega\Mika\etc.

Although Sakura, Gouken and Sean all play really differently than Ryu\Ken\Akuma\Dan\Evil Ryu to the point where I barely consider them Shoto clones.

As mentioned, Q is like Robot Detective K, plus he's like some kind of Frankenstein monster who awkwardly stomps around and grunts and grumbles. He's creepy and mysterious and nobody knows what his deal is. Who or what is he? What does he want? It's probably best if they don't answer these things as that's a big part of his appeal. But it would be cool to see him again.

Jesus loving christ we get it. I don't particularly enjoy the game either, but you fuckers going on and on and on and on and on about how much you hate the game is tiresome as gently caress.

Please post more dante gifs or shut the gently caress up

I'm still waiting to see if this game will be appealing to me. I'm just finding myself wanting to play Xrd at meetups and never drawn to playing this. Hoping some cool stuff will get discovered that kind of breaks the game

It would be really cool if fighting games in general could figure out online play. The matchmaking thing is a problem because in most genres of game your rank online actually does mean something, and the matchmaking helps you to get matched with people you should be playing against. In almost any fighting game, you are condemned to play against like 3-4 lovely/laggy people you'd rather not play at all before you get one match against someone good. Usually when that happens, you'd rather just add that player to your friends list and play long sets with him instead of trying to climb to a higher rank.

Even in "GOOD GAMES" like Xrd, the ranking system is totally worthless and no one uses it.

I had SF4 on PS3 and PC, which had worthless ranking systems. I had a perception that the Xbox Live ranked mode for SF4 may actually have been close to decent ranked play, but I'm guessing it really wasn't? I just tended to see top players with high ranks and get matched with other good players with somewhat high frequency.

I haven't checked yet, but please don't tell me this game, on top of having a poo poo roster, terrible menus and appalling connectivity issues also has the same issue SF4 had at the beginning where you can just quit and gently caress the other guy. Please.

Tough poo poo? Bitching about the game won't magically make it any better.

What a hurtful statement. Why would you say that? I worked really hard on the OP.

Hydrocodone posted:

Dictator, Boxer, and Claw came about because of the name swaps made for English versions, right? Or do all the characters have nicknames?

Cake Smashing Boob posted:

It's because of the swaps.

Akuma/Gouki exempt for some reason.

Not sure, but it's bad. He should just be Daigo Umehara IMO

Jmcrofts posted:

He's been The Beast since before he was known in America, I'm pretty sure.

Gammatron 64 posted:

"The Beast" is really a terrible nickname for him. "The Machine" would be a hell of a lot better because a good amount of his success stems from his uncanny ability to basically shut off his emotions and stay cool and relaxed. That, and he's really good at analyzing his opponents and thinking up counter strategies really fast.

On the flip side, you have "Murderface" Tokido which actually makes sense because well... he has a murder face.

Gammatron 64 posted:

What's funny is when I was thinking of someone who should be called the Beast, Poongko is the guy who came to mind as he's wild and crazy.

Basically Daigo and Poongko need to switch nicknames. Maybe it's like how M. Bison, Vega and Balrog shuffled names around when they came here. I like to think it's that.

I can't remember what that's from, but yes

I tried asking in the fighting thread and didn't get a response, so I'll try one more time in here instead.

So after a long time I'm looking to get a stick, I was looking at the TE2 and that seems to be sold out everywhere. Is the TES+ just as good, or is there a reason to hold out and hunt down a TE2? Or are there even better sticks that I'm not aware of?

Real hurthling! posted:

i have one of the newest old te2 models (the chun li sfv one) and its really nice. does anyone know if it has the thin plexi that people complained about or the thick plexi that people like? i've never used another te2 and as far as i can tell its super sturdy with no give at all but some people were saying te2's had flimsy top panels.

Is this your way of telling me you bought me a PS4.

HoboWithAShotgun posted:

The worst thing about lobbies is when some no-name guy comes in with a 2-bar connection, instantly uses the "Let's have a great match!" line and never leaves. You can't kick them because of the no-name bug and the only time I can host a lobby is when someone else leaves theirs.

Why do these people not understand basic latency.

Makes the game more fun and Street Fighter feeling to me instead of some weird Capcom attempt at a Mortal Kombat game with horrible feeling slow buttons and automatic combos. Shrug!

teagone posted:

You're right, continue the parade of bitching because it'll surely fix the problem if you do it a thousand times. Everything works fine on my end, mostly. The one issue I've been having is a weird FPS dip on the win/lose/celebration screen and during Gief's super animation.

People bitching about the same things every page should be called out for it because that poo poo is almost "Look at these random pics of hurtboxes not matching the model WAKE UP SHEEPLE" levels of dumb and I say that as someone who can't play the game at all unless I upgrade to Win 10.
