El Fuerte General Discussion Thread

lol, it was a good time for me to randomly check whats going on in this thread I guess.
I’ve gotta remake it, but ya I can send you a version.

Double post brings you presents

edit: looking at that link in my browser looks like there’s nothing there. I assure you there is a white transparent fuerte mask lol

I got the same thing as well. I decided to deviate a little from what I originally had in mind. I still went for the Mexican flag colors (even checked for them on Wiki), but the colors for the mask eyes was changed to Fuerte’s yellow ones. I thought it would be an overdose to keep green, white, and red.

Here’s the mask aspect so far. Like Vanilla’s, you can’t see the middle white star, but open it up in GIMP or some other image editor and it’s there. It should be there in the next version.

The hardest part will be to create the fork and knife for the crossbones.

@kingphantom: thanks man, I’ve been checking out lots of lucha libre matches, love it!

@KumaOso: looking good! damn I am so excited :smiley: take your time in making it as awesome as possible!

your quote: “You’re so quiet. You must not have many amigos. I’ll be your friend!”

Tried messing around with your concept. Couldn’t figure out a way to make the knife and fork not look weird though.

Fuerte: Live life on the edge.

I took out Shady K in a tournament yesterday. I lost to Mike Ross he’s got a heck of a Honda. You can admire how good Kai has to be giving that he’s been able to beat Mike Ross in the past. I didn’t even get to play their third (Keno).

I’ve been thinking about Fuerte since this whole weekend I’ve been playing SF4 against some of the best players in the US. He’s a lot of fun at this level of play I find myself relying on Ultra now.

I’ve beaten Marn’s C.viper a few times its one of my favorite match ups. I’ve played Haunts’ Sagat and it was really fun as well. I’m really digging the slide on abel/seth/sagat…etc wake up side-switch teleport.

I like what you did there. I’m wondering if there’s another way to get the chef aspect in there. Maybe with a ring of fire to combine both the chef aspect and the sunrise?

Y’know when 4 came out Fuertes alt was available at the start but i wonder how long we’ll have to wait with 35 char alt costumes…

The stamp looks pretty good, although I think maybe the crest in the middle makes it look a bit too busy. I’d be happy with something simpler like just Vanilla’s avatar alone. Great job though.
I’m planning on learning Spanish too. Once you like something you want to know more about the culture that goes with it. :slight_smile:

Paper, how different does it feel to play Fuerte at that high level? Does it change your mindset on the character completely, or is it more about improving the things you already know?

I guess it could be removed entirely. Still, I want to be there in some form, but I guess the colors would suffice. Like you said, something similar to Vanilla’s avatar might be fine.

I think this would be neat if it can be combined with Vanilla’s avatar, it would keep things simple but also carry a lot of the intended meaning.

Would be great if we can get the crest in some way without making it look too busy, but no need to force it if its not possible.

@Densou: Yea my sig is also awesome lool but the quote is a bit too long for a unified sig. Looking at what has been done already, it seems like KumaOso’s quote fits in perfectly!

You know what I hate? When I face a random fuerte online, and the match starts and I do a greeting taunt to a fellow luchador and they see it as their opportunity to attack. I feel so insulted.

dont do it then.

wtf?

THEY should feel insulted when they do that!! fellow luchadors should always be nice to each other :smiley:

seriously. if that other person does not understand that you are greeting them with a “Personal Action”, then don’t do it because they see it as a “taunt”. Why give them a free slap in the face? They have to WORK for it!!!

Any Fuerte’s going to Final Round this year in Georgia?

I think BlueGuile and Mexiwon’t are coming…

I was wondering maybe we could some casuals in and offer tips

Fo sho! :tup:
