Sakura should have had the Lilith outfit because of her model and moveset
See, this I agree with.
(Lilith wasn't that much different from Morrigan in Savior, and Morrigan was just a shoto with a few unique moves. Let's be real here).
Sure but design-wise, Juri was a horrible fit but the outfit itself and the lack of big tit isn't necessarily a bad thing although I wonder about the hair color. Makes it look like bad Lilith cosplay.
This is the same company that treats Mega Man and Arthur like shit even though Arthur just had a mediocre game with one of the worst true endings in the series. Do you really want current year Darkstalkers?
Megaman at least did get a new game in 2018 but truly, they haven't been all that good to the little guy. If they just remastered or rereleased, things could be well.

But that can be said for 95% of Capcom's current library. They got so many franchises that could use some love won't get any. And AFAIK, only Megaman got a Legacy Collection.

That said...
Even if Crapcom wasn't infested with ESG and DEI, no one over there is competent with animation and modeling.
Gotta be real for a sec, I think there are some talented people over there. The issue is not the production of the artists/animators but the direction.

Direction, SF6 for example looks fucking weird because they used the RE engine instead of doing something more stylistically fitting or taking a note from SNK's handbook.

There is a way to make this shit look good but they fucked it. And a lot of the designs could use some tweaking. Some of it could be mitigated with better art direction.

I do really want a new Darkstalkers but I do dread that they are gonna shove it down the RE Engine hole like everything else.

The RE Engine isn't even a bad thing on its own but it just doesn't work with series where the characters are very unrealistic like Street Fighter, much less Darkstalkers.
New gameplay footage on the PC with Panda and Shaheen:

Interesting. Looks alright although the graphics look no different than Tekken 7 but then again I'm not a graphics whore.

I am however weirded out by the random closeups. Feels like they would disrupt the flow of gameplay a bit.

Cinematic shit like that ought to be used sparingly. I was fine with the slow-motion in Tekken 7 but Idk how I feel about this.

On the other hand, Darkstalkers x Resident Evil sounds like a good idea. Village alone would give plenty to the character roster. Mother Miranda and Jedah team up to make the ultimate fetus and everyone that isn't bad has to stop them.

But yea, the Darkstalker characters would definitely be uncanny valley territory.

No animator over at Crapcom can pull off what was pulled off years ago with Darkstalkers and even the Marvel and CPS3 games. They couldn't even do Alex justice in Duty Fighter 5 with his french fry hair and lifeless model. Even the simplest Darkstalker character and Rogue had more life and animation than anything produced by current year Crapcom.

No more rereleases or remasters. They're just going censor and neuter the shit out of them for ESG and DEI bucks. I just want new shit that's going to be fun, doesn't shove politics and monetization down my throat, and won't prey on me with member berries that lost their taste years ago.
 

The word butthurt doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about Embus not being a thing anymore.
Me too. Wtf?

Also....

Get the fuck outta here with that shit, Bandai Namco.

Very telling.

yes Geese Howard Goyim, you will pay for deluxe/ultimate edition for the season pass, and even spend 200-300 bucks on the collectors edition for 2 coins, one ring and a plastic jin statue with (glowing) wings, and you will use the xbox live avatars in the single player campaign, and use the 32 golden clothings packs, and you will own nothing, and you will be happy.

as long as the price doesnt go up above 41 euros, i am not getting a heart attack. (https://gg.deals/game/tekken-8/)

B-b-b-but you gotta support the FGC, guys! If you don't buy the day-one disc-locked content and season passes, the FGC is screwed, and they can't have their weed and gaming careers. Think about the SoCal and NY FGC! How will Justin Wong, Maximiliandood, and even Knee survive?! Anakin and Arslan need you to buy this shit! You can't let the Tekken community die, bros! Be good little goyim and buy that premium edition that doesn't even give you a fucking disc. Harada and Mike Murray need their lambos and whores, trannies for Murray's case The fighting game community needs your shekels.

Nah, brothers. If I continued wasting cash on vidya shit, I'd have to take a second mortgage on Geese Tower. Are you kidding, that view over South Town ain't cheap. I've already been DLC twice in a row, I need a break.

The FGC can suck my dick though.

It's all Cali for the most part, but NY is the closest thing to an Eastern FGC.
So is it just as cancerous as its SoCal counterpart?
 
The disc-locked characters from season 1 got leaked with only one new character (he's in between "Julia" and Armor King, quotes on Julia because it hardly looks like her to me). I'm not going to lie: this is really disappointing on so many levels. If Eddy really is disc-locked content, that's pretty bad knowing he was available on release.

this looks different than the demo roster. still big if true.
 
There's a hacked version of the demo floating around with about half the characters accessible.

Oh Harada.... I won't be surprised if this was how the "pros" made themselves look good at events/"tournaments."
Why are disc-locked characters still a thing?

Did nobody learn their lesson from SF x Tekken?
Because these fighting game companies and even Soyny know they can milk the fuck out of the fgc. Justin Wong, Maximiliandood, and the rest of the SoCal FGC "pros" will shill woke shit and sleazy monetization for weed and money (Even if a character is released as a piece of shit like early Falke in SFV season 2), and if the general fgc tries to pushback or call these companies out, all these companies have to do is threaten their so-called gaming careers and Esports (and weed supply). Normies will bitch for a bit before they buy up the disc-locked content like they normally buy the CoD shit.
