SFV Lounge: Menat BUFFED, F2P SFV coming, CCCC COMBO BREAKERS coming

[TWINBLADES]

List of shitty animations/stuff in SFV

1. Cammy air throw (fuck Capcom for this I’m 100% positive Ono let Ed have a say in this)
2. Cody st.LK (it looks like shit but everyone knew this from day 1)
3. Falke st.LP (Frosty just exposed me)
4. Alex legs (Capcom why?)
5. Kens face (although it stays consistent with the deep lore since Ken has only looked good in like 4 games and only 2 were a mainline SF)

Everything I feel is just preference or weird lighting on some stages or re designs that some people don’t fuck with.

Also whoever okayed that Darkside jumping animation needs to be shot.

Ken has been getting punched in the face by guys who can throw fire from their hands for what…20 years? Cut him some slack

[Eskills]

I’d probably be an Alex main if he didn’t look like shit.

[ZioSerpe]

I’d probably be an Alex main if he didn’t look like shi

Nostalgia costume solves 99% of the problems.
And he’s so damn fun now that he’s not garbage that you can ignore the knees

[Daemos]

I really don’t pay too much attention to animations honestly, to a scrub like me everything looks good, I know sfv is the most respected competitive game and that’s probably gonna be that way forever, but I come from playing nrs games, and I think those games are awesome. I love the character design in those games too, I mean you have characters who lay traps, characters who drop from the ceiling, freezes, etc. to me the gameplay in mk is just fun as hell.

(j/k I love the characters too)

The problem probably ends up being Falke’s neutral stance and the fact that she’s completely relaxed instead of being in actual combat stance. It’s hard to transition from that relaxed stance into the kind of jabs that guy is showing off within 4 frames of animation.

[Frost]

it’s a mix of a lot of things but yeah her neutral stance is also fucking stupid, you don’t hold a stance vertically with one hand if you’re fighting with it, you can walk around with it like that out of fights but you’re gonna get shit on in combat

[Akhos]

She’s just that good

[Phantom_Miria]

Capcom probably intended to make it look like Falke is effective at using her staff even while swinging it casually, so yeah, she was probably intended to be “just that good”.

In practice though it doesn’t look very convincing when it comes to most of her jabs.

lol I know exactly who that is. LOLOL

Only half way through this video but I agree 10000000 percent sofar.

[Pertho]

Bro, tell him he’s a cuck and that he owes me points.

Also he is a coward.

[KingHippo42]

NRS that animates everything by hand and doesn’t know how to do it properly.

It’s motion capture drawn over by animators tweaked by designers for gameplay. They also use base models, so sharing them can get awkward.

[Eskills]

Jesus Bonchan is tearing it up with Sagat.

Feels like Sagat has two tier placements. One for Bonchan and another for everyone else. Lol.

[Pertho]

NRS animations are hilariously bad but I don’t think they should actually fix it. The thing to keep in mind is that NRS games have had bad animations for close to 20 years. The animation goes into the way they go about designing characters. Changing things around is going to readjust how they approach that part of it.

But just as I mentioned aesthetics being important to the games…at this point that jankiness is a big part of the NRS brand. Their games look and feel a certain way. That goofyness is very likely to be one of the charming parts of why people love it. Change it too much and you kind of start taking away from the bizarre uniqueness of the series.

I’ll clown it eternally but I absolutely hate it when people losing the things they love. NRS players having the games be comfy for them for all the wild reasons they like them is very important.

[Eskills]

I legit get tilted with how much Bonchan jumps forward. That would throw me off so hard against Sagat.

[TheDarkPhoenix]

He legit maximizes everything and even with that… You can see how sagat could lose at any point quick because of the meta of this game.

@TheDarkPhoenix

Only half way through this video but I agree 10000000 percent sofar.

Watching the vid.

I remember in one of these lounges I said that Jump Ins giving you free combos regardless of height was bad design. That trend also started in 4 and moved on to 5.

Then somebody vehemently disagreed with me and said that it was fine and that was a good reward and that you should also get set ups form your knockdowns.

Welp,

Sometimes I wanna call this game Street Fighter -2

Goddamn I’m gonna have to go find that thread. That man predicted the future.

meme time

[MilesRiey]

sometimes I confuse Eskills with TheDarkPhoenix and vice versa because their avs are almost pretty much exact color scheme
