Ok, where’s the character with such high polygon count?
Well, on the good side it is not a green, red or blue skinned character with those done to death Bengus-like proportions and hedoesn’t look as goofy as SF4 worst offenders. Still, he is underwhelming even if you buy into the need for freak or comic relief characters.
I’m interested in his gameplay. Looks like he has some unorthodox projectiles and zoning and with his poison mechanics he may have to play some keepaway. It’s welcome to see a character with such mechanics that isn’t taxed with slow as molasses speed and glass cannon health like Dhalsim.
His CA and a couple of his AAs reminded me of Twelve a lot. It would be kind of awesome if he’s spying on Shadaloo and is actually a creation of Urien’s.
So I’m noticing a few things about him that I like:
-The stationary projectile. Combined with his poisons, this is HUGE. You have to act, but you can’t do something safe like walking forward. If he has you poisoned already, you will take damage from standing there. He puts indirect pressure on you, which I fucking LOVE the idea of.
-He moves like a snake. They really nailed the snake theme with him. For those of you bitching about his proportions, HE’S A SNAKE GUY
-I was initially sad we wouldn’t see Gen, and therefore his stances. We got a new stance guy, though his work more like SFxT Lei … which I like more.
-His CA hits before the flash, so you can’t react to it. I wonder if it has invincibility?
-Like a true SF villain (Bison, Akuma, Juri), he has purple energy/effects.
-Has a lot of 2-hit normals it seems.
-V-Reversal resembles Nash’s, which means it could have a lot of potential in specific situations (ex. blocking VT Ryu’s super at mid range)
My favorite newcomer by far.
His moveset looks awesome. It’s very unique and I see some cool stuff coming from it. Status effects are also pretty uncommon in SF, only other one I can think of is Gen’s super in Alpha with the countdown timer.
His art style looks like something out of Shaq Fu 2.
The design is over the top. I’d take something over the top rather than bland and generic.
Gameplay looks extremely promising. It kind of reminds me of Blackheart from MvC2.
Loved the voice acting. He sounds goofy, but at the same time has a sinister undertone. Check out the way he says ‘two minutes’ in the reveal. He also looks dead serious in his character artwork.
Nono… This is SRK. A “disagree” is not a “dislike”. A dislike would be calling somebody out for something shitty they typed. And I hope that becomes the norm now since both the off-topic and WTF reaction functions have been removed. I never liked that passive-aggressive bullshit anyway. If you truly think somebody’s post is WTF-worthy, call them out on it, people.
Also, I didn’t disagree or dislike all your posts here. But confusing Sagat and Balrog is just weird.
Edit: Also thanks for the title change haha. It seems only slightly better now.
