You know why they are making SF5 right? To compete with MKX!
Yea that’s absolutely the only reason. If MKX didn’t exist neither would SF5.
Well with the 2nd game, essentially you have a bunch of useless filler. If 32 characters are literally garbage, then they are just a waste of space, and yeah the dev/balance team must be retarded. However likely they still tryed to balance matchups somehow meaning that top 8 may be weaker than the game with only 8 characters. Give me the first every time.
Balance is overrated, but you can achieve both great balance and awesomely strong characters. Guilty gear shows this. Just cause SF4 is too stupid to get it right, doesn’t mean it isn’t possible.
That’s what I mean. Give him the psycho shot and a damn overhead already.
SF4 Dictator is more stale than 3 year old wonderbread and I can’t get hype over his SF5 reveal if they don’t add anything new and/or useful to him.
DLC Regular Nash costume pack!. Now fight as charlie without dead limbs attached with massive staples! A fully yellow jacket with GREEN combat gear. OMG!!! $5.
Jion is a troll. Not even a joke he is a troll who constantly brought up the idea of Scorpion in USF4 as the 5th character and is constantly talking about MK to rile people up. Don’t take the bait.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they did this. Maybe one of his alt colors will have normal skin / classic color outfit. Though he’ll still have the staples since it wouldn’t change the model they’ll be harder to see.
I don’t think he should have the fireball, it never made sense to me with his playstyle. However his CvS2 overhead / projectile nullifier with a non-charge input makes sense with his pressure game to open people up, and helps counter his usual fireball weaknesses without giving him a projectile invincible move. I’d like them to bring that back.
THIS!!
I’ve never understood Capcom or capcom fans really, charlie redesign is generic. IIRC when I read on the front page " his own take on the Flash Kick" WTf!? he’s talking about that’s a straight rip off from rugal anti-air like If I didn’t know this game is made by SNK ex-employees.
Since the models are so similar they’ll probably just make it an alternate colour for Charlie. SF4 had widely varying costume designs for their DLC so I doubt they’d just start being that cheap about it.
They can be both brown, but there is no competition between chocolate and shit 
I see way more easy that one of his regular alt colours will cover that at least for “fully yellow jacket with GREEN combat gear”, and maybe with less evident skin tone on replaced body parts
In SF4 many have standard colours that remind previous versions
My bet for first alt is Guile tribute, with green whifebeater, army dog tags and camo pants (tbh will probably be cooler than current one )
Let’s be real, Capcom can steal the fuck they want from SNK for next 10 years and it will still be fair game
Problem is, most of recent SNK stuff make little sense in SF context, last thing i want is see them do more C.Vipers
Rugal Kick work well on Charlie, theft approved.
Didn’t Nash ALREADY have “his own take on the flash kick”? He did it backwards.
Maybe Capcom thought that Charlie should get his moves updated Animation wise ? and in order to set himself apart from Guile ?
Dunno about you guys But I freaking Love it
I like it too, but I just think it’s funny to make a claim like that about him. I actually prefer his new animation (though it doesn’t really feel like a flash kick anymore)
The FGC has changed when you think about it, more and more people are just learning to accept a character is top tier in a fighting game these days (despite living in a time where balance patches are now possible) I feel like more people just refer (from my experience) to a top tier character as just “strong” nowadays. Similar to how the Japanese describe them. Calling a character top tier has such a different connotation than calling them “strong.”
" Sagat was a top tier charactrer in Vanilla." “Sagat was pretty strong in vanilla.” I think the latter seems less intimidating and gives people less of a reason to bitch and not even try to at least adapt.
If you look back on the past couple EVO’s, even counter picking is considered hype nowadays, and is definitely less frowned upon when you think about it. Remember Infiltration using different characters besides his Akuma to counter pick sometimes, not just him, iv’e seen a few other pros do it too, everyone got hype. It takes skill to play a different character that no one expected you to play besides your main, and still play them at high level, counter pick or not, and i think people are started to realize that. With all that being said, i still think the FGC is filled with cry babies, so don’t get the wrong idea.
Is it just me or do you guys find his Sonic Break PWETTY hype too ?
Also, Charlie vs Bison rival fight
MAKE IT HAPPEN CAPCOM
Yeah it’s just you shill.
Youuuu Absoooooooluuutely sure m8 ?
lol no, they’re trying to make him more powerful of course, genocidal cutter > Flash Kick. The teleports, dot on his forehead and the Frankenstein amputations is a sign he was revived by some entity after his face and harm was blown by bison’s Psycho Crusher . He could be OP and play a main role on the game.
Yeah I used to jokingly call Charlie’s an inverted one. Charlie is now looking similar to his MvC2 incarnation.
the small minority is already whining about “normal” looking Charlie for his alt. I really hope Capcom doesn’t cave to these tards.
