Well I finally got to watch the entire interview and what he actually said was "all your favorites" and that tells me that it won't be "everyone".
 
What a ridiculous shit time to be a fan of fighting games holy shit.
>SNK still blowing sandnigger cock and people are acting this is funny
>Capcom keeps fucking up SF6 and the character rotation is fucking aids
>Kekken 8 is a fucking joke, character buffs are unplayable and is almost like the hacker problem never went away
>nobody cares about granblue

I think UNI is ok but even that has its limits with them being a discord fighter but jesus christ man this is fucking depressing.

He's still going to play the game, but not be officially sponsored which is probably the most retarded position one can take.

My opinion is known which is I don't care if it's the best fighter ever and even if they add all the characters I will never buy it. I don't care how autistic it sounds I refuse to buy a game that is adding real celebrities to the base roster just to please the owner and get mass audience appeal.

I'd say Negan in Tekken 7 was extremely close to being a real celebrity. He's not "real" but he's foreign enough to Tekken where it just seems weird why they put him in. Trying to appeal to a bigger audience like soccer man.
Same thing with Clive and Noctis. I'm also not a huge fan of weapon users in a "king of iron fist" tournament.
Yoshimitsu get a pass.

I have no idea why all these companies keep trying to appeal to the casual audience like they'll stay on the games long enough for it to be worthwhile, most casuals are most likely playing with a pal or offline to kill some time. No casual in any universe is playing ranked for any reason.

Because it's a quick influx of cash as they still bought the game and all that matters post launch is if enough people will come back for dlc.

It’s because it’s an easy out, it also appeases stock holders. That’s why new characters are flash.

I saw a post about someone being a Tekken refugee, and as someone who sure as shit will never touch Kekken 8 again I was curios as to what was going on. Found out the latest patch made everything bad about Tekken 8 and doubled down on them, now I've even seen a few major players quit, and the only thing I see people liking is the new gooner character.

They all had to go somewhere after SRK died.

The least bit shocking news at this point. Doesn't ArcSys have an account there too?

idk what it is about the fgc and having prominent members flock to ResetEra, but it's like attracting flies to shit.

It so obviously tries to be a better SF3 with all the urban imagery and themes, but it just come out as hollow and boring, and the uncanny models don't help either.

While I applaud the use of motion capture for SF6, it also was kind of a detriment to it.

I think SFV had fine looking models that fit the game, and there were conventions within the character models that worked since even the first SF game. For example, hands, feet, and fireballs in SF are big for a reason: it's so that players can see them and easily react to them (it's even mentioned in a documentary about the game's production). The more "realistic" models dialed that back and it just looks awkward and weird.

That being said, SF6 blessed us with the best Cammy model, ngl.

SFV gets a lot of shit for it's models, while I agre with some criticisms (banana hair Ken will always look fucking retarded) the overall art direction is a good fit for SF given what you just said.
I myself prefer stylized art over realistic uncanny art.

What's the point of chip damage when BLOCKING? You're punished for being defensive in a fighting game?
Click to expand...
I actually could see what they tried to do.

I think what the devs wanted was to implement a way to de-emphasize the usual turtling you see in Tekken. You take white health damage on block, and you recover it by landing an attack. So I believe that it's to force the player to panic when it's too low and force an offensive action. This has always existed in Tekken, like punishing a -5 or something poke from a block with a d,f+1 and backing away and making space.

But you can see the problem already. One, it's forcing the player to make an offensive action in a series where defensive actions are far more rewarding. And it does so by trying to make the player panic mash instead of making a well-thought-out decision. And two, this already existed in Tekken and didn't need to be doubled down on. Tekken is about waiting for that opening and using that to turn the tables of the match, then hitting that flow state and bodying the opponent. But the player has a wait for that moment. The devs are trying to force this exchange, which doesn't work in a game where getting my shit sidestepped, for example, leads to me getting launched into a ridiculous wall carry in Tekken 8.

That's my personal problem with this patch and the way the devs handled it. What they should have done is add more and better defensive options in the game, and introduce the offensive actions slowly to better balance the overall game. Remove fucking chip damage because that's too fucking retarded to exist, and find ways to reward defense and offense equally. Take a gentle turn into the newer mechanics, not a hard fucking left, which is what Harada and Bamco did.
