Seriously? Yes Shadow Lady is really just a re-skin. Shares everything that Chun has and was a color change in UmvC3. Ugh way to prove your point for the pro Decapre brigade bruh.
No one complained about Shadow Lady or any other lame color palette, all of a sudden people are holding pitch forks in the air complaining about Decapre, E.Ryu and Oni had it bad but not even close to this as it seems that not just the FGC, but the gaming community as a whole has something to say about this…and that only thing I can really say is…“Why is this a problem now?” When all before it was cool…or still is OK if a non-Capcom game does the same shit…
I understand people have their reasons saying:
-Capcom hyped the character for months.
-Capcom said it was a new character.
-Capcom shouldn’t have been lazy.
-I Hate Cammy becauses shes OP in AE 2012…she reminds me of Cammy…
-They could have picked “X” character instead.
-Etc.
They however don’t really answer…why is this not acceptable now…when before it was. Ok…better example. Why is DOA5UA’s Phase-4(Kasumi Clone) has almost no backlash…which she fits the same criteria that Decapre gets hated on for outside of her original character being OP.
-Visually almost identical to a pre-existing character(Kasumi with a cloak), is this not lazy?
-Has recycled moves and animations(from all the Ninja in DOA5U).
-Fans asked for Tengu among other characters to return before her inclusion(Kasumi Alpha)
But whatever, this thread isn’t good for me so ima stay away…
completly agree with you 'therook"
The only REAL problem is, that decrape was teased as a character no one has guessed for months.
Remember stuff like:
not on anyone radar ?
only x people guessed her right in the internet ?
… yeah right, decapre was guessed once they said it would be a female char that appeared in the comics.
Only 4 people guessed right? Yes, 4 people on day 1 maybe.
THAT is the only reason people are mad.
Her moves look like cammys? Well, they are CLONES, even story-wise!
So basically the exact same dna and training they went through.
Why doesnt anyone complain that Ryus and Kens normals overlap so much? japs, st. mk, cr. mk, cr. rh, cr. hp. So many moves are exactly the same except for frame data … just like cammys and decapres…?
Hell, Ken and Ryu even share the same move set. While Cammy and Decapre dont.
So my point being, i dont see why everyone is hating on decapre per se, they should hate on the way capcom teased and announced her.
or they could be like Mortal Kombat and have one Male character model and one Female one. not to mention sharing half of their moveset with other characters.
how did this go from decapre announcement was wack to usf4 is wack or her moves etc are bad? what didn’t change is capcom fucking people over the last couple years with rehashing, copy and pasting and bs dlc practices.
also why mention mk and it’s hideous models? neatherrealm and tecmo games are shit, no reason to compare it against non shitty games.
It took for y’all to see Decapre (if SFIV was actually a good game, she’d be cool to me) to realize Capcom aint shit?
I played SFIV for a while and was leik, “nah, this aint hot”. I even gave’em benefit of the doubt and was leik, “everybody else play the shit outta some SFIV, maybe it’s just not my cup of tea”. Then I played MVC3. . .
Now that I realize they could simply re-use the gameplay they invented for the Tekken cast in SFxTK, design new characters and give them those movelists.
No doubt…while SF IV isn’t bad, there are plenty of other fighters that are better than SF IV as a whole. Heck, SF IV doesn’t even hold a candle to Super Turbo, Alpha 2/Zero 2, or 3rd Strike in gameplay.
