But when Namco did “Tekken 6”, they had to add only six new characters, the rest had already done. Capcom to SfxT doing at least 16 new characters. I don’t know where is the time to polish and balance more of Tekken fighters.
Tekken 6’s gameplay is pretty different than DR’s - T6 added bound, reduced overall movement, made all the jabs (except Ganny lol) 10f, instead of 8f, plus slightly changes to overall proprieties of a lot of moves.
If Capcom is willing to, they can rebalance or fix whatever mistakes with patches or a “Super” Edition - chances are that’ll be the latter.
But, in my opinion, converting the old characters to the next game is easier and faster than creating entirely new ones. I know that we can always wait for the super-duper edition, but in March 2012 I want to buy and play a complete, playable product, not a beta version with >50 characters. Even if it meant a smaller roster.
Another thing that the less characters = more diverse set of unique moves for each of them. I don’t want 25 characters from Tekken, who are clones and differing only in super-art.
You, me and everyone else wants a complete game and all, right? Knowing Capcom, they’ll save a lot of stuff for the eventual re-release.
And if you really think that Tekken has a lot of clones? Things aren’t Tekken 2 anymore - all the characters, save the palette swaps (Chreddy and Bears) are pretty different regarding gameplay.
Less characters = a lot of favorites and forgotten ones getting the shaft. I’m all of a large roster.
Large rosters =/= unbalance
Small rosters =/= balance
SFxT roster size is greater than MvC3 but less than UMvC3
So between 38 and 50
Tekken, khem… King - Armor King, Hwoarang - Baek, Asuka - Jun. I know they have not exactly the same playstyle, but they are similliar.
I still missing a few characters (although most of my favorites is already in the game), but still I would rather wait for them in the super-duper version, than to play an unfinished product. Maybe my worries are unnecessary, but …
Just saying. If i were capcom i’d just do the DLC to make a new game and or just use the DLC for more characters. I doubt after about 44 characters that they’ll add more.
lol at Baek and Hwoarang being similar (the former only have one stance, the latter have FOUR). But yeah, I got your point. Capcom would have to work way harder to make these characters apart from each other, since being in a 2D plane really limits the character’s movesets.
If SFxT really makes big money, why not?
Ono made SSFIV AE deliberately umbalanced - this kind of thing woudn’t surprise me a bit.
Don’t worry about the balance, they’ll add the twins.
That ought a do it.
So if Rolento is officially partnered with Ibuki does that mean Sodom is not in? or with who will he be partnered?
Pretty sure the tweet said more than UMvC3. =x
That in no way disconfirms Sodom, that pairing was merely suggested by fans.
With lupinko suggesting there will be more characters than UMvC3 I would not assume anyone to be out for sure. Which is great news for those holding out for more 3rd strike love.
I think this pair will be Pac-Man and MegaMan 
maybe i’m just jealous at the fact that the dude could know something, but i think lupinko is feeling himself a little bit too much after the mvc3 leak he did and now he’s just trying to get attention. just seems awfully convenient that he called that wish list fake a day after rufus got shown in the cinematic trailer. wasn’t he also off with that umvc3 stuff?
btw, i’d love to be wrong. just sayin’ i’m suspicious.
The list was called a wish list on the site it originated from, anyone and everyone who thought it was a leak when the creator labeled it a wish list is a moron.
i know. i’m just wondering where lupinko was when the morons were calling it a leak. him coming out and saying it’s fake could’ve shut down that bs REAL quick.
He wasn’t off, he just didn’t give us a full list of characters. He did pretty much say Phoenix, Firebrand, Doc Strange, Strider, and a few others were in though.
Btw I tweeted Lupinko asking if he was truly serious about 50+ chars.
His response:
Also another tweet:
Like someone said. It’s porbably Pacman/Megaman.
I rewatched the trailers(Yeah, I know…) and they are they only guys I can see that would slip by us unnoticed.
And for the love of GOD don’t say Cody/Guy.
It would be unnoticed if they were cheering on Haggar or someshit. Not when Cody kicks down a NEW CHALLENGER sign.
ah ok. thanks for the info cornwad. i don’t follow marvel that much so i was just judging based on what i’d heard other people say. maybe they were just jealous like me
