Didn’t Sakura learn all of Saikyo from Dan in like 3 days, then realized how awful it was, then started just emulating Ryu from videos?
au contraire, mon ami.
I like that they’re taking their time and not rushing this, realizing how important it is to just get out the best possible fighter, then keep it alive and updated with DLC and patches. Beats finding out they finished USF4, Omega Mode, and SFV all withing a year of each other.
It’s actually a very clever nerf that fixed a problem of having 2 separate and unrelated meters in 4. Instead we now have two separate meters that ARE related, that can be combined to give something more powerful and rewarding. I’m thinking the requirements will go like this:
Special - No Meter
Ex Special - 1 Ex Stock
Ex Power-up - Full Ex Meter [No Equivalent]
XX Special - Full Ex Meter [Souped up Ex Specials, only during Ex Power-up; Equivalent of Double Ex Stock Specials from Omega Mode]
Revenge - At least 50% of Revenge Meter [This is the equivalent of Super Moves]
Ex Revenge - Full Ex Meter and Full Revenge Meter [Must Ex Power-up first then perform Revenge; Equivalent of Ultra moves]
Speaking of decapre. I really want them to continue her story in SF5 with cammy being a doll again. Maybe if Charlie is working for shadaloo then they’ll be his side kicks.
I don’t mind Ryu sticking with the same gear. But I think there are ways you could alter his default look and still have be very apparent that this is “that guy from sf2”. Like what if in one game he didn’t tear off his sleeves? People would still know
