that’s actually really brilliant from a business point of view. many people will just end up paying for the DLC so they can practice ASAP for Evo.
pretty curious how much grinding will be necessary to get the character
also march is REALLY soon after launch, pretty surprised at that
I’m guessing they want them all to come out a couple months before Capcom Cup in December to give competitors enough time to practice with/against them. But then that means one character a month pretty much, which seems alarmingly fast so maybe not.
i imagine each character will come with a small patch that fixes bugs and stuff too? they have said they don’t want to touch balance apart from bug fixes (which… is good, but bug fixes usually adjust balance too, so balance will be adjusted one way or another)
i guess, for most people, sfv will be their main game so new content every 6 weeks is probably good for them. but it’s a lot to keep up on, and it’s a very different policy from previous capcom games
They’ll make more money adding stupid cosmetic shit than they will the characters themselves anyway, look at any other F2P model. The ‘hardcore’ players will play enough to farm enough fight money to buy the characters… simultaneously release said character with a costume or 2 that you can only pay with real $$ and you’ll get loadsa’ cash.
If you’re ‘hardcore’ about the game and can’t get enough fight money in time, it’s not like you aren’t going to drop $7-$10 or whatever they’re going to cost.
If you throw on the same frame, the game randomly decides who gets it. CE is a pretty brutal game.
Here’s a tip:
Pick Bison.
I almost want to get the season pass for SFV so all the fight money I accumulate over a year will go toward the next round of characters/costumes whatever with no grinding.
I’m torn though because I dont want to spend money lol.
See, SF5 just needs to do this.
New character, purchasable costume simultaneously. She looks sooo funnnn!
Derryk - CE throws are instant and huge.
You can’t throw people when they wakeup or when they land after being hit out of the air though. Maybe that’s why it seems inconsistent?
Otherwise they’re fucking amazing. Try using them after a jump light attack or crouch short or something. If you time your tick right they can’t jump out, the only thing that can stop it is a perfect frame invincible reversal special move, or a perfect reversal throw.
Oh yeah derryk… if you’re by yourself you could try messing around with all the sf2 glitches like handcuffs and magic throw and Sim invisibility etc.
You should be able to Google them?
I’ll check em out!
Gotta learn the spacing on throws… got weirded out by Ken being able to throw me from a jab range earlier, seemed really fucked up?! Also what Mike said about the game randomly choosing when you both throw makes sense to me now, since there is no tech throws.
only jab and strong DP knock down (on first hit)… Learned the hard way when a fierce DP didn’t knock down Gief, lol!
Hit boxes in the game are super weird and seem to take priority over certain things unless you input frame perfectly? I dunno. Perhaps I’m just thinking too quickly. ST would be so dope to have over this, or even hyper fighting. But it’s what I got here haha
anyone here watch basketball?
GSW is fuuuuucking ridiculous. Just annihilating top tier opponents.

Raptors doing well also. Gunning for first 50 win season in franchise history and 1st seed in the East. =)
I’m having more fun watching basketball this year than football or the Flames.
Also, you can be thrown out of pre-jump frames in SF2 so jumping will not get you out of tick throws.
GSW are really ridiculous…
Spurs and Raptors are doing good.
C’mon LeBron James!!! LMAO
Step it up.
Someone data-mined the changes to the latest SF5 beta.
ok, evo games announcement is tonight
let’s assume they’re doing 9 games, like last year
make an official prediction for the full games list
i predict:
sf5, sf4, melee, smash wii u, gg xrd, mkx, killer instinct, tekken 7, umvc3
if they’re only doing 8 games, take out tekken 7
i hope they end up doing 9 games though because that list of 9 looks really solid and i’m not sure if many people would have a different list
Marvel resulted in a dip in numbers last year. Maybe it won’t be back ;).
i would basically just pick your list ricky
If they took out marvel I’d be sad it’s super fun to watch
Jut think as far as playing ppl get discouraged so they don’t enter. But it’s an awesome spectator sport
marvel confirmed bathroom tournament title
