that's true, and they have to be aware that no one really plays SF for the story anyway

alas, shitcom works in mysterious ways

we won't know until 2020 at the earliest
2.5 years to go. A bit odd that there won't be an Ultra Super Street Fighter V UHD Remix II: Second Bout given the franchise history.

So how long until we get a street fighter that takes place after 3rd Strike? I want to see Q again.
Hard to say, because they kind of wrote themselves into a corner. Lots of fan-favorite characters like Bison are dead for good after III.

Then again, just because a character is playable doesn't mean they have to be in the story, I suppose.

Still, people find it hard to accept brand new characters. People hated SF3 at first, because nobody was recognizable, and now people are shitting on SFV's new characters, too, despite the fact that everyone and their mother is gonna look back on characters like Abigail and say "Why can't Street Fighter 8 be more like SFV?"
It's not like being dead stops fighting games from having dead characters on the roster. Joker in IJ2, Liu Kang in Deception/MKX, Nash, etc. Zombify them, cyborg them, or put them in a character flashback. Then biggest "problem" with SFIII was that the returning/new ratio was off. Find the balance, and then add like with SFV.

You want us all to get destroyed by Flee?

Yeah, I'm doing that whenever I first get on decide to try a character. I'm liking Juri, but I can tell I'm only doing well because it's not hard to cheese the AI on lower levels.

I'm climbing the difficulty latter on survival now.
*ladder

gl with that, i still haven't beaten extreme to this day
Yeah, just lost on 25 with Ibuki
i made it up to 97 before once until they fucked me with a low health upgrade
yeah I love that

>no health
>"here's a low health supplement"
>near max health
>"here's a full health supplement"
protip: for the first ten rounds, always go for the double down ones and use EX to kill

this will rack you up points so you're never in a position where you can't afford full health supplements when you need them

that probably won't be necessary for lower difficulties though
Oh no I already figured that out, it's just annoying that high or full only appear when you really don't need them, and never when you do.

I'm not going to say that the writing was perfect all the way through, but that was a noticeably jarring scene. I see what they wanted to do, but it was super forced.
I actually didn't have any issues with the writing, because they were clearly going for a cheesy kung-fu action flick type aesthetic, and I thought they did that pretty well. Part of the appeal is being able to make fun of how silly it is.

I just wish fights were more than one round.

What are you gonna do next?

I love how it's just the only fight in story mode that's even remotely challenging

Spoiler
hard mode fixes that problem real good
I tried to cheese him to death with sonics, but the match ran out of time. I had to get off because my wrist was cramping too hard.

Overall the artstyle is an improvement over IV, but some characters just look odd (like Kolin's face in story mode).
Kolin's face was actually altered from her original model.



It was an improvement, imo, but it may have created some awkward inconsistencies.

She's not the only character to get a facelift, either—I don't know why they couldn't have gotten it right the first time.
Everything about the original release screamed "rushed", so they probably did a hackjob on secondary characters (since she didn't have a fighting role yet), so they likely just used the time after the game went gold to finish her character model.

Just got Kolin. I love her LMH pokes.
If I had to guess, she's the character I assumed you would like the most.

That or Mika, because that's just my luck.
Nah, I'm not a fan of grapplers in general, but Mika manages to not even be as fun as Zangief.

I wish you could buy nostalgia alts with FM. I don't really want to shell out $12 for the Juri, Alex, and Ibuki outfits.
Akuma, too.

It sucks, a lot, but I actually prefer this method to how SF4 did it. Back then, you paid a lot of money for a whole bunch of costumes at once, even if there's only one costume that you're interested in. SFV has more of an à la carte system, where you're not paying extra for stuff that you won't ever use.

But yeah, honestly, all the DLC should be obtainable with FM. That's how I thought it was going to work from the beginning.
I would even be okay with having to complete some sort of challenge before buying with FM is unlocked, or it cost 200000 or something. Make it hard as you want to get it, but leave the option there.

I found a copy for $20, so I went ahead and bought it + Season 1. Playing through right now, tied between Karin and Ibuki for my favorite fighter.
So you bought both games eventually?
I ended up getting SF first since I found it so cheap, but I planned to do it either way.

The art for the character stories looks downright lazy btw, but that's probably an old complaint all things considered. Laura looks nothing like herself, and they managed to fuck up Ryu's jaw line.
Yeahhhhh, it's really not great at all. The NPCs don't even put up a fight—it's kind of a joke.

Have you done the actual story mode, A Shadow Falls? Beating it on both difficulties nets you a lot of FM.

For the love of GOD, though—don't do anything that awards you FM if you're not connected to PSN. You won't get it.
Not yet, I'm doing the character stories to acquaint myself with everyone.

A bit disappointed that Ibuki's Necksnapper isn't in the game. Well, in the game by technicality, but not as an actual move.

hype

Never played Karin before, 'cause I'm unlocking characters the hard, slow, yet financially non-committal way. She does look fun.
Yeah, I got Abigail using FP. I'm pretty on the fence about him.

I wasn't ragging on you by saying that just a little joke. 99% of anime is hot garbage, .7% is just good or different enough to be worth a watch, and the last .3% is so beyond the standards of the industry that calling it "anime" is a bit of an insult. The only reason I enjoy an anime of any sort nowadays is for spectacle (Jojo is just odd, but reasonably so) or the occasional SoL that I can relax to. It's not high-brow media by any means, but sometimes something comes along that's worth watching once.
when you watched hxh, which one was it
2011
any particular reason, or is it just supposed to be better
More complete. I trend the past few years has been more accurate adaptations of manga, so you get less filler and improved subplots. If you do end up liking it (it's on the better end tbh), it has more adapted.

Something like 15 years between adaptations, but the newer one adapts like two more arcs. Hiatus x Hiatus strikes again.
