Looks like Capcom USA was actually trying way back when before Japan stepped in and was like “lol no”.
Outside of this season and a few screw ups, they’ve been sort of been on target for a lot of that. All the eSporty stuff has basically been community stuff. They’ve buffed, much to our eventual complaints, more than they’ve overly nerfed. Some characters were just way too wild that making them sensible feels like murder.
If you look back on all the random tier lists posted, a lot of us had a good majority of the cast competitive with each other. Yeah S to A to B has reasons for it, but it isnt like characters in B tier are dead on the water.
Uniqlo shirts, SF League, eLeague shows, Capcom Cup changes, and a lot of other things definitely show a commitment and support for the game. Buuut it aint the same as new characters.
That’s the interesting part. Even though SF IP is owned by Capcom USA, Capcom Japan being the development group still has everyone else by the balls any way.
They saw all that cash from the last couple non fighting game releases and said quit wasting time and money on that shit.

This MU isn’t as joyful as Akuma’s MU for Gief, but still, it isn’t as bad as this video makes it look like.
Kortazang took quite a few weird decisions that ended up leading to his defeat.

I really think Poongko’s play style helps so much in that match up. I feel like Poongko wouldn’t do so well against a more patient or Footsie orientated Gief. He was quite ballsy when it came to clutch moments though. Meaty OH to close out a round and that MP DP into VT was so good. It looks like he was trying to play it like SFIV Ryu. St.Rh from max distance and Cr.Rh too. Can Zangief punish max range Sweep from Kage?
Just looking by feel…
Looks like Zangitan was able to feel out s.MP as a punish.
From messing in training mode though it looks like s.MP may be the only real punish and you better have VTC ready if you wanna turn that into anything meaningful.
The pushback (or more specifically the hurtbox pushback) on Kage’s sweep is apparently reallly good. To the point where shorter ranged characters will kinda just have to hold it if they block it max range. None of Gief’s SPDs or lariat can punish near or max range sweep.
Looks like you can do s.MK as long as it’s not max range also, but absolute max range s.MK will whiff also.

Maybe its just the video but the pushback on the L.Red FB looks pretty decent. If you look at the end of that gif Gief is blocking them and barely gaining any ground.
Still pretty ballsy to keep throwing them that close to him.
Yeah red fireballs are still fireballs. People act like they are the equivalent of Fang’s V Skill when they still are actual fireballs.
Air fireball and his retardo long/active anti airs helps the match too as Gief can’t yolo jump in much at all to gain ground either. Which is usually his way to force SPD range when the ground game is getting rough.
Poongko is ballsy though. That’s his style.
Juri has one of the best throw games in the game. She gets mid screen throw loops against Sim. She can throw, walk up and throw again. Buttons won’t beat it nor walk back. She can probably do it against other characters with slow walkspeed.
Anybody that says Juri has a bad throw game is down playing hard.
Yeah she has a really strong, but short ranged throw. None of the regular grabs are like SF2 long or anything any way. Especially with no karas available.
I don’t recall anyone saying that, just that it has poor range supposedly.
Pretty much. Cammy can throw you 4 times in a row if you’re in the corner still. Despite the fact that she’s in the shortest throw tier and is pushed back far as hell after each throw. The mind games she still has access to inbetween each throw means you’re still going to have to take some.
To further on Kage, yeah one of his best situational buttons is that s.HK. It’s basically a SF2/Alpha/IV Ryu s.HK in the space it covers which that type of button automatically gives you a good matchup vs Gief alone. Lets you poke at all of Gief’s buttons and specials since he’s a big guy with nothing to attack with that low profiles. While also double covering the air if he wants to jump. That button alone puts Kage on the map vs Gief and then his other stuff is nice too.
