Coolest part of the story mode is at the end when Balrog and Vega just pack it up and leave because they're out of a job. Gill showing up is super cool. I'd be down for more story DLC to tell the story of 3S. Also fighting Ryu v Ken at the end was really nice.

Also I loved that the new difficulty was unlocked at the end there. I had no idea there was more than just the Brainlessly Easy mode!

It was kinda jarring considering it's at the end but whatever.

I bought the Ken alt. I'm so happy.

Fang is supposed to have gross hands because of the poison but he just looks like he hasn't washed them in a month.

Is there anyone in this thread that would be willing to do some coaching? I'm competing in EVO in a little over and week and I think I've gotten as good as I'm going to playing and learning stuff on my own. I'm still having a lot of trouble with Nash, Karin, Chun Li and grapplers. Zangief in particular gives me a headache. I'm currently a super bronze Ken but I am beating silver Ryus and Kens reliably and can hang in there with golds of the matchups I understand. Name your price.

I mean for better or worse, Street Fighter is 'bigger than the genre' (see: World of Warcraft and MMO fans, Metallica and metalheads, etc). drat near anyone who identifies as a fighting game fan will have played some Street Fighter, but there's lot's of Street Fighter players who aren't interested in other games. If someone comes in looking to learn to play Street Fighter and you say "play Xrd instead because' it's objectively better" that might not be something their interested in hearing, because they don't want to learn how to play a fighting game, they want to learn how to play Street Fighter.

You also really can't underestimate demographics and playerbase population. Fighting games are inherently a multiplayer experience. If you can't convince people to play them with then you're probably not gonna play for very long. I go to a local club and see all sorts of crazy fighting games being played, but 95% of people who buy Street Fighter are probably casual people just looking to play with their friends on a couch and they probably haven't heard of other fighting games existing except for Mortal Kombat and the one time they rented Soul Calibur 2 a decade ago. The game's already in the public consciousness, so that's a waaaay easier sell than "mystery anime fighter that I've never seen anyone in real life play before". You can tell a dude on the east coast who's going to McDonald's that In and Out is way better and that's a fact, but that's not helpful if the nearest location is a few thousand kilometres away. Unless you have friends that play Xrd or are a proactive enough person to look for them (and then you're probably not a casual) you're probably not gonna be too interested.

I play Xrd. It's a good game. But when I tell my non FGC friends that I play it (who are mostly people pretty well versed in video games) the two almost immediate questions are always 1) What's Xrd? and 2) Why aren't you playing Street Fighter instead? I grew up playing video games, and only got interested in GG because of the thread here. The only things I had ever heard about the series pre-Xrd were mid-2000's Bridget memes.

I'm honestly kind of amazed at how casually popular SF is despite how hard it is to play, actually (by "game" standards, not "fighting game" standards). I mean any one posting a thread online about it is probably interested enough to actually want to learn to play, but there's a significant amount of couch players who see executing a DP motion as an insurmountable barrier. Link based combos? poo poo's hard. Fighting games are hard. That some of them somehow sell millions of copies despite that is actually kind of amazing, because I don't think there's any other genre where the majority of people who buy it can't even execute their basic mechanics.

Mortal Kombat is also a good example of this but for much more casual reasons.

The two characters I play (Urien, Dictator) seem to have gotten nothing but buffs. Like, Urien got some crazy ones (including a crossup on j.LK) that I didn't even think he really needed.

I'm still amazed at the Vega changes. I don't mind the Urien buffs but nerfing half the cast on top of that is insane.

Me too but we all know that it's not going to happen.

Even if they fire everyone responsible for this travesty, there's just too much there that needs to be fixed and Capcom seems to be way more interested in selling you season passes and costumes packs than making an actual good game.

DBZ comes out in January.

Wait do you have to pick one and only one character to play as in online games? Like... you can't just pick a character when the match starts?

What the hell is this game

In ranked matches you pick your character before you start matchmaking.
