Maaaybe if they didn’t waste money on bs sony excusive characters that nobody even used in SfxTk we could get some ya know, ACTUAL new Street Fighter faces? -_- don’t get me wrong, I like the new chick but still… We can get a troll ass, new model havin ass, obese ass, embodiment of “fuck you fans” ass Megaman, but nothing but these janky ass reused models for USF4? Okayyy Crapcom I see how it is. I bet Onos somewher right now fapping his 2 inch dick and laughing his ass off at us. At least when Namco gives use clones they’re FREE.
Oh, and thaaanks for making pay for Elena twice in a row. Bastards.
They should have skipped over an “Arcade edition” of SSFIV and do a TRUE Ultra version instead.
Characters should have been:
1 Alex
2 Elena
3 Urien
4 Necro
5 Rolento
6 Karin
7 Eagle
8 Rainbow Mika
9 NEW
10 NEW
New secret boss: Gill.
You can exchange Elena and Rolento for Remy and Ingrid, or Yun and Yang, or whoever else you want. Elena, Rolento, Hugo and Poison could have been a DLC patch after SFxTK’s release.
New things:
New opening; clips: Elena vs Dee Jay, Abel vs Alex, Sakura vs Karin, Urien vs Bison.
New interface, menus, selection screen and artworks.
New Stages.
Ultra III for every character.
Parry mode. You can select parry and multiple Super gauges instead of Ultra gauge and Focus.
New storyline, rivals, openings and endings for every character (for example, Sakura ends up going to train under Gouken’s wing, that would explain her absence in Street Fighter III; Abel’s revealed to have a son -Remy- in his ending; Urien recovers Seth’s damaged body and uses it to create Twelve, etc.).
That would have been a TRUE third step for the subseries, instead of this cheap as hell “Super Street Fighter IV Plus” thing (yeah, I refuse calling it “Ultra”).
Take out the 3S things then if you want, but still some characters from SFIII are to be missed. The best example Alex, and I think Necro and Urien would have been great there, too. Kudos for including Elena, however.
Is not that there’s a great variety of characters from Alpha left to pick from, either…
Urien could be great if he had Aegys Reflector but as his Super and an Ultra… That way you could have access to his double Aegys combos…
it depends. 3D is cheaper in the long run. you can reuse and edit the model and animations. as someone who does a lot of little mods for sf4 on pc, i can tell you there are so many recycled parts that i’m almost convinced that Dimps used a character model editor for 95% of the cast. that will help in games because they can control the vertex count and transport rigged skeletons easier and thus it becomes cost effective.
2D is good for something really short. you can get started pretty much right away unlike 3D where there is a huge planning and rigging phase, especially if you want it to look good in realtime.
Screw Necro and Urien. And R. Mika. And Gill. That list also makes it look like no Poison or Hugo since you’re including Elena and Rolento. Poison, Hugo and Decapre are my 3 favorites of the new characters. Totally want Alex though.
I prefer Necro and Urien above Hugo and Poison (specially over Poison). DLC possible, though. Elena and Rolento are excellent. But all the 4 SFxTK characters could have been DLC, if TRUE Ultra had been released before SFxTK.
III Ultras FTW. Ibuki, Juri, Guile, Sagat, Ryu and many more, all of them could have been pre-used some good SFxTK animations.
I love Alex but I think he’d be best in Sf5. Kind of a “how he rose to be (what was supposed to be) the new face of street fighter” story, ya know? I agree on most peoples suggestions on alternate characters, but Alex is something special that should get more story than he’d get in another re-hash of sf4…
Omfg Magegg youre my favorite poster on here. Rock Howard is my favorite fighting game character ever. I TOTALLYY agree they should’ve skipped AE. All those new characters at once would’ve stopped all this bitching from ever even happening in the first place.
We have 44 characters in Ultra SFIV. If Capcom wanted to cater to fan favorites as well as make something actually new, it should have been a 50/50 split concerning characters. 22 returning, 22 new. The returning characters could have been…
I think its funny but only months after the announcement of Capcom being almost broke
and people accuse Capcom being lazy in a obvious Cash Grab. They don’t have the funds to make too many new models. Dacapre was a new character no one played as but was able to recycle old models.
Before SF4 there series was 2D.
There is still time for Capcom to Make Street Fighter IV Grand Master Champisionship where they can dive into there back log of some 22+ other characters.
