When you surround yourself with 09ers of course you’re not going to get any positive responses towards sf 5.
Hang out with me and I’ll tell you my most positive comment with regards to sf 4 is “it is what it is” too.
I’ll also tell u Tekken 7 is the greatest fighting game this gen.
Says you lmao.
Straight up 09er in their feels cause people do love SFV. Have you seen Daemos, Twin or Lone Shillington? If you don’t like the game cool, but stop trying to write this narrative that everyone hates SFV and IV was the best thing ever. 
If people weren’t into SFV it would’ve died off like MvCI.
Stop trying to write the narrative that I’m saying everyone hates SFV and that IV is the best thing ever.
Oh I’m sorry, stop trying to write the narrative that SFV isn’t loved. Better?
Enthusiasm for SFIV > Enthusiasm for SFV, that’s all I’ve said. For some reason that appears to have triggered you.
Bruh I’m good and enthusiasm for V has been better(thanks no news for 8 months), but still good. Hold that lol.
Here’s a question.
For those that dislike Abigail in SFV.
What makes Hugo in SF4 and SF3 acceptable in an SF game which Abigail didn’t have?
This is so subjective. I thought ‘Enthusiasm’ for SF5 was at an all time peak during S3. Everyone and their mother were happy. Yes, Capcom fucked up with their silence but I’m gonna blame it on “They’re Japanese” and their way of doing business is obviously different from the West for now.
How are we quantifying ‘Enthusiasm’ by the way? Are you measuring humidity in the air on the forums or talking to the group of friends around you?
Honestly, I’m glad Capcom took a break from their regular schedule of character releases. It provides us and them perspective on the game - which was supposed to be dead on arrival but lo and behold we’re all still playing, watching and talking about. We still compare it to games being released today and that says something.
Lastly, don’t take Capcom’s silence for negligence (even if we can’t help but feel like it is).The development team were working on the arcade release (something a lot of fans wanted) during the first part of the year, and since then have supposedly been developing the next big thing for the game. Our second wind is coming.
SF4 was a great game, and the game we obviously needed after the dark ages. It helped forge the modern FGC and reinvigorated a genre that was supposed to be dead. But SF5 is greater still for what it is attempting to do for the franchise and genre. When SF6 happens you will understand.
We talked about that at length when he first came out. My issue with him was that he had BIG MAN gameplay without the big man flaws that come with. His hurtbox is Gief’s hurtbox as opposed to the ridiculous thing he should actually have.
He was made dumb on purpose. Can’t wait for Evo reveal though, SF5: Intentional Edition is going to be fucking ace.
Well unlike Abigail he was really bad so even though people might not have liked him, they didn’t have to face him either.
And I always found it funny that he was the only character that allowed Chun’s H.SBK to connect with all hits in SFIV, six years after the initial release.
You should stop bitching about low complexity in SFV and play Uniest.
But that might be to complex for any of you in return.
Although I hated 4 towards the end of it, I can’t deny the hype it brought. Watching Daigo dominate the first two EVOs was so DOPE. Man, Ryu was so good in the first two versions. Personally, 5 seems shallow with lab monster stuff, whilst 4 had a little too much to learn, especially with the OSes. I like 4’s whiff punishing and buttons though, although FA kinda negates them. Tokido’s Ryu, Infiltration’s Nash, Phenom’s Necalli and Smug’s Boxer in my opinion, are the only stand out characters in previous seasons. When I watch streams now, everything mostly looks the same, especially Cammy and Ibuki. Saki’s Kage is hot to watch. 
Capcom do make invigorating FGs though. 
I did. I only really disliked a few aspects of sf4. But complainers made it into sf5 which encompasses almost everything i dislike about fighting games.
Never understood this whole paradigm of “commitment” if you do low commitment shit in oldschool games you get either lower reward or more predictability.
I think of a blueprint on how NOT to program an fg… sf5 is very close.
Like why in the fuck are there 6 different defences to tick throws… wtf.
Shit game
Lulz
Then why did SFIV disappear into nothing. Where is the scene for it? SFIV isn’t loved. If it were it would have splintered off into it’s own Smash Melee type community. I am sick and tired of the rose colored glasses in regards to SFIV. There are more viable fighting games than ever. More companies supporting their games. More reasons for people, if they hated SFV as much you insisted, to play something else. They aren’t. You have bunch SFIV fans crying loudly, while people that do enjoy the game are simply playing it.
SFV isn’t my favorite game in the series, but I always find myself defending it due to delusions of SFIVs grandeur. Let’s call a spade a spade. SFIV was the first new entry into the series than more than a decade. Fighting games with 2D gameplay had practically gone the way of the dodo bird. SNK tried to carry the torch and went bankrupt. When SFIV launched it was the new 2D gameplay experience period. Now we’ve got options out the ass. I mean SamSho just came back. You may love watching a 20 hit combo that does 5% more damage than a 10 hit combo but not everyone shares your opinion.
DP whiff punishes brought to you by Daigo.
Watch what happens to V once it’s dropped off the Capcom Pro Tour and how many entrants it’ll get at tournaments in general
There’s no money in it, simple as that
Yeah , but honestly that’s where it’s going. Probably.
Exactly, SFIV fans are not what they claim to be. If they loved the game like they say the do, it would have a scene. Nintendo hasn’t never supported Melee. Yet it still has a scene. They want Capcom or someone to put a bunch of money into SFIV so they can play the game they “love”. If they loved the game, they’d just play it. Also, I want to be clear, I am not talking about all SFIV fans. There is a small contingent of SFIV fans that really do love the game and make an effort to organize events.
New fighting type Pokémon Gym leader.
Sounds about right.
It’s hard to compare games because players will inevitably bring up all the shit things from that game like it revolved completely around them ( hardly anybody used red focus and very few characters actually had any “essential” one frame links).
I’ve said it before , SF5 with SF4s normals and mid range play would be the best fighter.
Both games have good things, both games have rubbish. It even goes deeper into the menu system. SF5 has better netcode, yet SF4 completely dominates it in terms of snappy user interface and lobby system.
SF5 was a complete basket case on release , so hopefully they’ve learned from that
