Unlike the others that costume was real in SFIV.
Didn’t even look too bad and I usually hate the schoolgirl stuff.

Sakura’s palm strike in her vt1 still feels awkward to use… its +5 ob now but something about it still seems off
Makoto is like that one schoolgirl that you wanna impress with your pro basketball skills in sports class,in a typical early 2000’s way.
But in reality she plays basketball better then the entire boy team.

I’ve always had a thing for girls in gis. Even though Makoto’s not at all my sort of character playstyle-wise (really fun to play in 3S though), I kinda love her design just because she’s a girl in a gi.

Yeah because one busted character represents the over 40 characters available in the game.
Sf4 has amazing footsies. It also has bullshit. Sf5 mostly has bullshit, with some fisher price footsies thrown in, sometimes.

What is bullshit? Like how are we defining it here exactly.

I argure that SFIV had more bullshit.
Vortex and the influx of never ending unblockables being just a few.
On top of a dozen of characters who simply didn’t gave a fuck about palying neutral.
Then again, everytime I hear people even talk about footsies it’s usualy 2 Ryus low forwarding the entire match.

SF4 has/had a lot of bullshit and dumb characters but it’s still a better game then 5 imo.
It was just more fun.
I was never good enough at 4 to know how the game played at high level. At low level, where people didn’t really know OS’es and what not, I enjoyed it a lot more than SFV.
That said I was definitely tired if it by the time 5 came around.
Thing is, watching 4 is refreshing when it’s just pure footsies. Umehara vs Valle Ryu mirror match and Umehara vs Momochi is some of the finest footsies in SF history. But I feel people are tunnel visioned regarding 4. Crouch tech, FADC, any vortex character and unblockables made the game scummy as hell. What’s the worst possible mix up scenario in 5? Laura 50/50, Abigail unblockable, Urien Aegis, Ibuki VT2, Akuma VT1 and Menat VT1. Compare that to 4 and it pales in comparison. Remember 4 Akuma when his vortex started to flesh out, or C Viper 50/50 BL or air normal canceled into BK, El Fuerte was a nuisance but became much worse when he got that QBomb buff. I guess because the roster is bigger, I have a stronger argument that 4 is more scummy. Yun and Yang were cheap as hell, Yang Genei for example had true unblockable, Mago used to land them on occasion. Elena with Healing Ultra was just madness. I could go on. 5 is light. Especially season 4 where all throw loops have gone. I’d argue it’s the more purer SF.

Nah that’s SF x TK 
You right. You right.
A lot of V’s BS for me stems from the limitations/watered-down nature of just doing basic shit. Then suddenly one character gets a big power up/boost while the other is stuck in basic mode trying to fend it off.

SFIV had a nice scale to it, from “holy shit this is pure, beautiful SF” to “I’m throwing my stick into the wall, fuck this”.
Example of the former:

The Gandhi match is the highlight of SF4 history.

Yea when you had 2 non dive kick air mix up characters fighting in sf4 the game was beautiful.
But then Seth, Viper, Rufus, Fuerte, Decapre, Yun, and Rolento get on screen and make you hate life.
The ratio of solid to anime/marvel shit is slanted heavy towards solid tho. In sfv its like 70/30 towards BS with the characters trying to play solid usually being shitty

FSP is a legend, I don’t get why Ghandi gets all of the fame.
