I think we need to look at the gems and think about them again. They aren’t bad they just fix our small mistakes and those super simplified gems explain themselves.
The only thing i would be fine with is that everyone was some what irritated about the reveals.
I don’t mind Pandora Mode, that’s fine, it seems useless anyway and I prefer it being useless than be a genuine comeback mechanic such as X-Factor and Rage Mode from T6.
Cross Arts are a fundamental in the game and plays on the X from the title, as the game is a 2on2 thing and I guess they work like Ultras from SF4, so no problem there.
Cross Assaults seem a bit dumb, but I guess if they are going for the “crazy” option that makes MvC so popular, this mechanic helps their aim, and besides, it COULD be a lot of fun I suppose…
Gems in my opinion are not all that bad, at the end of the day, it allows players to use them and make their characters more competitive, if they are useless to begin with, e.g. Hsien Ko in MvC and Dan in SF4… it allows more people to bring THEIR FAVOURITE characters closer to the level of higher tier characters.
The gripe I have with the game is the DLC gems and per-order gems. A gameplay mechanic should never be treated like this. Character DLC is fine as you can choose to buy or not buy the character depending on whether you like him/her, but what if there is a gem in the Amazon version that severely gives those buyers an advantage, now those Gamestop buyers will be fucked and will have to spend MORE money to even the playing field. What’s next? DLC moves?? It’s such a joke.
You must not have seen the Korean gameplay. They made cross assualt broken. 35hit combo for like 60%. Now it’s stupid because now they made the 2nd character cpu control which is stupid.
I said it before and I’ll say it again…
…Asuka better have her damn counters in this game!
The new trailers were cool, but honestly the hype is dead for me because of the stupid mechanics…at the very least the gem system should have been a separate mode.
I don’t see the problem with the pre-order gems. I think they can be unlocked in game going by that most of them are lvl2. As for dlc its the same as characters to me. If i feel they’re worth it I’ll buy them.
I honestly think the gem system is being overstated badly… it will not be a constant threat like ultras or x-factor, just wait. If you pick all offensive gems and I perfect you or close enough… (while I have all defensive gems) you won’t even see a gem activated. Ultras and x-factor are something you always have to take into account… the only reason Capcom are pushing this so hard is because they’re trying to sell it.
Confirmed, check the 4 mins of Lili and Asuka gameplay from last weeks stream.
@Westlo people are going to find something to bitch about in the end anyways…whether it was Gems or how much the HUD annoys them…its always something.
im just glad people are finally warming up to them, as to most being skeptical about the system in general.
Just 47 days until release. 1 month and 17 days
Thanks, Westlo. Would’ve been nice to see it in action (when someone actually hits it), but it’s good to know,
And since this is a ranting thread, I better see Karin in the next damn reveal!
Not too fond of the art style for the characters…Heihachi looks like Doctor Willy and Law looks weird in the loading screen;
At least TxSF will have bum Ryu.
Most of these character models range from good to garbage. Hugo is a masterpiece.
Paul & Law … wow. Way too Saturday Morning Cartoon-ish. Its to a point where its not even in the vein of Street Fighter. Everything looks all overly shaded & saturated like an old 3rd Party Genesis game.
This game is a total abortion in every aspect. The visuals, the borrowed animations from SFIV in new characters, the mechanics, the UI, everything. I am baffled how so many of its fans are willing to forgive all of that because it’s a Capcom game and it has characters they like. This is Ono pissing all over the fighting game genre. If you buy this game you support mediocrity. Congratulations to you.
That’s right everybody let it all out. Woooooooshaaaaaaa
I feel like SFxT just has WAY too many universal game mechanics in play. Especially since a number of them are unique to SFxT and have nothing to do with SF or Tekken.
Cross rush, Cross Assault, Cross Arts, Super Arts, EX Moves, Chargable Specials, Launchers, Gems, Pandora Mode, Tag Cancels, Combo Macros
Compare that to SF4
Super Arts, Ultras, Focus Attacks, Focus Cancels, EX Moves
5 extraneous characters (with 2 of them being exclusives for no raisins) that weren’t really needed when all that time and effort gone into characters that purchasers of the game on any platform could enjoy.
I would of much preferred it If a character like Karin, Sakura, Alex, Q, Miguel, Lei, Wang, Anna, Lee, Lars, Alisa etc would replace them.
^ Urien and Yang.
This game has so many characters that I’m starting to be afraid for the balance. Most likely we’ll end with 10 guys being good and the rest rarely being played.
Today’s character reveal is offensive. This is the respect Capcom has for their old successful franchises and fans. They do not care about you. They evidently resent your presence and enthusiasm. Why do you still care about them?
