Thats ALMOST true. The real difference is a skill in a FG tends to carry over into other fighting games. Players playing to learn rather than to just waste time and play on auto pilot also tend to get better a lot faster than others. In your generic x amount of time = y number of unlocks game the only real skill involved is time wasting.
Maybe, but what about the gems that are ‘exclusive’ to people that pre-order? Screwed.
Doesn’t change a thing. They could be getting exclusive unlock DLC, but that doesn’t mean those gems won’t be unlockable in-game.
hmm i think this gems will be like groves in cap vs snk 2 or will be just stupid … … if the gem system turns out useless a patch will come and disable it …
This thread is funny.
On the whole gem thing I don’t mind it. The DLC though is a different story. But the way they are going about this unknown. They could just like some people here have already said unlocks all the Gems in game. I do not want Gems that you have to buy. I don’t know how tournament organizers are going to deal with this if the cost is going to be alot. And probably there will be a cap on how many Gems you can stack. Cause at first thought *STACK ATTACK POWER AND FINISH THEM!!!" But eh. Game not out yet. I’m just chill and see what happens. 
I want Gems now.
EDIT: Had to watch this thread cause I had some lols. lol
This whole Gem system thing is hilarious to me. You have to pay more for something thats very vital to the game… lmao
I haven’t had any problems with DLC like costumes, microsoft paint colors, or other stuff from non fighting capcom games… but this is complete bullshit.
Would have been funny if you bought 3S Online then they told you you had to pay a little extra to get the Parry system via DLC.
lol! that would be some shizz.
You don’t have to pay shit. Use the free gems and outplay your opponent. Like a boss.
Hot fucking mess. i defended this out of every door.
I won’t knock it till i try it, but its not looking all that great.
options aren’t options when they are forced on you.
its not the dlc EXCLUSIVE (meaning non unlockable) gems that bother me. (well its dumb considering they could potentially be good) its the idea that its always in play. And if we have to unlock them, there is no way to just jump in and play.
This is game is looking silly.
Too much mechanics and too much corny stuff. The bear looks like Yogi bear and Heihachi looks like Mega man villain. Not even Rolento looks good.
Those multitude of mechanics wont make the game more complex, quite the contrary, one of the most complex games ever is go. And the mechanics of go are quite rudimentary.
If they had stopped with cross counter combination i would probably still buy this game. But with all this bullcrap and the childish cartoony feel this game has i will pass.
IMO the problem is that ono is having a big part in the development of this game. Ono has a 10 year old child mind, if he could he would put Pluto, Mickey and Minnie in Street fighter x Tekken, and they would all hug each other, and no begginer would lose…ever.
IMO SFIV in general looks cartoony and silly, I think it’s part of the reason why I stopped playing it less than a year after its original release. With that said I will probably check this game out anyway because I’m digging some Tekken right now.
not to be a silly guy who picks fights on the internet, so don’t be offended, just legit curiosity,
what looks so cartoonish about sf4 considering sfxt looks identical if not MORE cartoony and SILLIER. (take this from some one who the cartoony-nature appeals to.)
yes it does, but not as bad as this one. This game is looking like a nintendo wii game, soon we will have a '‘new motion control mechanic’'
This game is looking worst than brawl. In brawl at least you could turn off items, and besides metaknight the game is not so unbalanced. This game looks like a mish-mash of mechanics populated by a cartoony childish cast that farts, spins with doink sounds and other silly stuff.
Gosh, just looks at the Heihachi of your avatar.
you are probably angrier than me with how they portraied Heihachi in this game.
Not kidding here, Ono looks like he has some mental problems, like a lower than normal iq or something like this.
It is not possible that when he says stuff like: ‘‘people prefer unbalanced games, that is why we put the twins in it’’ he knows what he is saying.
He is delusional in what the community really wants.
He as stupid as the dmc remake developer, that said: ‘‘i don’t care about fans reaction’’
you know there is like over a hundred Gems at the start right? i dont think 45 extra ones are the problem anymore…
Ow and the music. The music of the game reminds me of this ( gosh the whole game reminds me of this, and that is not a good thing)
Probably ono favorite game.
Off Topic : but now comapring this with your Avatar

He look like he supposed to be a clown at some 6 year olds birthday party, I was expecting for him to have some Akuma Likeness to him but i was wrong. He just looks weird.
…And dont get me started on Kuma BAD porportion sized hands. Kuma Got Fucking Banana Fingers.
I remember seeing Ono equipping 5 gems, that’s to much IMO. 3 is fine
well remember you can stack three of the same kind of Gem too, so maybe thats why its up to 5 now~
Gem system and pandora mode sound so fucking terrible. I’m so disappoint.
