Only thing I notice is Gief’s backdash is faster.
To me he moves a little faster overall, but not by an unreasonable amount.
Not to mention he’s using 3 speed gems at once. I wonder how this affects his normals and non-command grab specials?
If you guys really can’t see the difference of speed you must kidding yourselves. o.O
He’s clearly faster, and for Gief that’s always a mad bonus. I hope that’s his max speed increase.
He walks faster, his dashes are faster, he jumps faster and falls faster. So it makes jump-ins slightly harder to react to I guess, and he can get where he needs to at a faster rate. Wish they had shown a comparison for his normals and non-command grab specials, because faster normals and specials = more combo possibilities. At least, depending on the amount of speed increase there is.
That’s all 3 gems stacked, and if the rule of “Identical gems must have different activation conditions” remains in the final game, it doesn’t seem like anything to care about.
We don’t know if speed gems change hitstun and blockstun yet, but being able to combo walk forward, st. strong xN for 15 seconds would be retarded.

SIgh, Tbh I think Ono is dropping the ball with this one. SF the top 2d FG franchise vs Tekken, the top 3d FG franchise going head on. You would think it’d be something serious. But this game looks and feels goofy. The designs look goofy, it has goofy in game mechanics, etc. Tekken is a dark series, relatively speaking and with a crossover that involves Tekken I would expect more “seriousness” in the game. I think Ono chose the wrong game to be so “casual” with. I remember seeing the 1st SFxT trailer with Ryu, Ken, Kazuya and Nina fighting while “Honest Eyes” by Black Tide was playing the background and I was blown away. I was like “Shit is getting real son lets gooo”. Then I look at gameplay footage and more and more it gave more of this goofy vibe. Maybe Im overeacting, what do you guys think.
I don’t think that the game is “goofy” per se, but I think he’s just trying to make some things easier for the casual audience to do (such as the LMHH combo for every character among other things). Maybe it’s the music while they’re fighting in some of the trailers.
And I think it’d be kinda ironic if this ends up being a casual, goofy fighter (which I don’t think it will), considering that, if I remember correctly, they stated that Dan wasn’t going to be in the game BECAUSE Dan is a joke/goofy fighter.
Hmm, wonder Speed Gems drawback would be…
You know, it might just be the my eyes playing tricks on me or me forgetting if Gief used different SPD strenghts or not, but the Gem SPD seemed to do less damage?
I don’t know, need to review the vid once I get home.
It did, but that’s because Kaz had a Defense gem activated
^Just noticed that =/
Technically, the drawback to speed gems is not being able to use the other gems. So if you use speed gems, you sacrifice a slot for power or defense. I don’t think any of these gems have any of their own drawbacks per se.
It’s starting to sound like Gems aren’t going to be that bad after all.
Yea looks like they toned down damage again. Which is a good thing
W-wait, what did you say? :wow:
Am I still on Shoryuken here?
…What is this?..when something actually is shown of the system people realize they’ve been greatly exaggerating insane amounts? Sounds like something I’ve been saying would happen this whole time. 
Also, logic is a breath of fresh air in this place.
Not to brag, but I’m not your typical Shoryuken member, or typical anything mind you.
I will admit that I was worried about Synergy, but I morely embraced the positive potential than the negative potential. My main concern, though, is how DLC gems, assuming there are any outside of updates, are going to be handled. I don’t want to have to pay for gems unless there’s a free alternative to it like how you get Mu-12.
That…doesn’t look as drastic as most people thought it would be, although I don’t like that stupid glowy shit.
And I bet even with x3 speed gems, Zangief will still get owned by a Guile with x3 defense gems.
