STREET FIGHTER

smh ken looks like a freakin SNK character in that vid. which im perfectly fine with btw. he's beastin plain and simple.

just starting to seem like ryu wont be able to compete/keep up with these other characters.

every character that has been revealed so far seems to have a more extensive move set than ryu and they look like a lot more fun to play with.

even daigo ditched reg ryu for evil ryu eventually in SFIV ultra. wouldn't be surprised to see him change up again.

ryu my dude for life but I hate how for YEARS he's been super basic.

Lame Killer and Blaster hit the nail on the head. Ryu does kind of look basic but that's him in every game even Marvel. Vanilla ice cream so nothing special but solid.

And don't sleep on him in this game, his combos do Damage!!
And none of that FADC into Ultra, his ultra or critical art links after so much stuff and his Denjin Mode V-Trigger adds a lot of stun and damage too.

Once Daigo has some time in the lab and masters him, plus that parry, I think we'll see his true strength. I still want at least the donkey kick or a new move we've not seen before.

Also Daigo ditched Ryu but got knocked out by a Ryu player last EVO and Ryu's been buffed since then so he now has a pocket Ryu.
 
ok, make me a believer then.

if you've seen some SFV ryu gameplay that has looked impressive, feel free to post the vid.

combofiend played pretty well with him against Jwong but that's all I've seen.

Gootecks also won the 1 v 1 tournament with him at E3.
 
Money matches already in the UK.

The Nash combo at 2:55 :wow: :wow: :wow:

Advanced tech and the beta hasn't even dropped.

I'm hoping that Twelve, Oro and Gill get added. I just want to see Gill's "Sephirotric Wing" super in the new version. Watching that UK money match has me hyped. Nash is looking better and better every time I see him played. That just kept throwing that head butt out there. It was so unsafe. I can't wait to see the next character to be unveiled.
 
The combos in this game look to me much more open. More normals cancelable into other normals that actually do damage :pimp:

SF4 low lab poke battles can go to hell
 
No Blanka in 5 I riot. So tired of scrubs crying about the character. Been my main since SF2 on SNES. I realize from a story perspective he really doesn't have a place past 4. 3rd Strike comes after and 5 after 3rd Strike.

Still though. I can do without Sean, Akuma and Evil Sakura. They lied and gave us another Ken Shoto. He's like a mix of 3rd Strike/CvS2 but still a Shoto.
 
Who complains about Blanka?

Lots of random people. Scrubs mainly. Every fighting game forum and many times online post matches I get a message. His style of hopping around, crossovers and mix ups angers players.

I don't think they realize how hard it is to win consistently with him. He's a gimmick character with no real advantages anywhere. He's middle of the pack. Except CvS 2 where he's top tier.

So gimmicky, lol. As long as you know what to do against him and how to punish stuff, it's not bad. All of the characters I play do well against him. CvS2 Blanka was the only time I played him.
