What I think is even dumber is that Noel girl seems to have the same hairstyle as Bridget, has gold crosses on her outfit that look identical to those on the back of Bridget’s habit, and then she’s got some stupid goofy weapon… it’s not enough that they went the “blue and white outfit on blond-haired whitey” route from GG
I mean I made up my mind to hate this game when I read “GG with stronger wakeup games” anyway though, what the fuck is that, that’s like “T5.0 with higher damage” or “Vampire Savior but everyone is faster…” what the fuck is this fascination with games that have a 50% chance of ending right then and there off of one knockdown
I mean, god, you never know, I’m not saying I’m not open to trying it when it comes out…
edit: also charcoal gray spandex, wtf yo get a new character
The meters look kinda like how SF4’s were described - basic super meter, 4-sectioned secondary meter. I always preferred Capcom games but I think I’m looking more forward to this than SF4. Not a situation I expected.
Someone needs to make anti-gaming thread for all the bitchers. Because no game in any shape or form, satisfies any of you motherfuckers.
Bitch bitch bitch bitch, bitch.
Good lord.
You guys bitch as if this game is being especially made for you, or something. Like your name is at the end in the credits and shit. Like they send you a personal invite to playtest the shit.
sorry yes i forgot every single thread about every game should be a total fanboy circlejerk with no dissenting opinions allowed, ill get the fuck out now
Pretty much agreed. I mean “They look like Guilty Gear Characters”.
Well no shit just look at SNK fighters and how similar they all look and especially play to one another. What about Third Strike and it’s “DarkStalkers like” characters?
Hell most people could get a game that combines the best of the best of gameplay elements of Super Turbo, Third Strike, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, King of Fighters '98, Accent Core, Mark of the Wolves, Hokuto no Ken, and Capcom vs. SNK 2 all that uses the characters from those games with 2D Sprite Based graphics and animation that is on par with the movie Aladdin, which by creating the “Ultimate 2D Fighting Game” and people would still complain.
Fuck I can imagine it now:
“The Characters don’t look different enough from their original designs, the devs. are LAZY!”
“It sucks that they combined all the best of the best elements they should’ve made a ground up fighting game that was totally original!”
“It uses sprites it can’t appeal to the mass market!”
“It doesn’t have Akuma’s stage from Third Strike! This game is horrible!”
I mean fuck this game is a new IP and people are complaining that some of the old Guilty Gear characters aren’t in it (after it was announced that it has nothing to do with the Guilty Gear Universe if I’m not mistaken).
You’d think with all the “2D is dead perception” due to SFIV using 3D models along with most other fighters being used for over a decade, along with Arc System Works milking the shit out of Guilty Gear, you’d think that people would be a little more apperciative with this game
It’s a new fighter, something we don’t get much of. Bitch about the system when you get your hands on it all you want, that should matter more than fucking hairstyles and what what character is wearing. It’s like SRK has turned Fighter Fashion Diva these days.
It’s not about accepting anything just handed to you, I’m just tired of the retarded mentality that some people here have that won’t play a game just on how it looks, be it graphic or character design, rather than actually try the game and judging on its own merits. Look at the SF4 board for example, people swearing off the game just because tits are hanging out on the new character.
i will still give the game a chance, in the long run i dont really care about character design that much. but that’s almost all we have to go on now, and as such i’m going to comment on how terrible the characters look. it might have no effect on whether i personally play the game, but given so many other people evidently do care (hell, look at all the people who wont even touch GG just because it’s anime looking) it still concerns me.
I know what you mean. I WILL play it, at least to try it.
I’m still with Polarity on this one (even though I hate to admit it). The characters just seem like weak Guilty Gear ripoffs.
My favorite character ever is A.B.A, but I don’t want an A.B.A clone in this game. I would prefer something refreshing and new.
I actually liked Street Fighter III 3rd Strikes characters, and I appreciated that they tried something new.
Like shade mentioned, I can’t do anything about this games production.
However, I dislike like being persecuted (yeah, I said it) for having an adverse opinion.
Well it’s a NEW game, that we tentatively think is continuing a well established franchise and it remains 2D. Combined with the fact that the sprites have shifted to high resolution, I welcome the shit. The characters are FINE. Designs aren’t defined by just the static look of the character drawn. Sol and Ky are VERY plain. Hell, Ryu and Ken are VERY plain. But their movements are what make them who they are. The animation in this game is said to be smoother than even guilty gear, so imagine for a second, what Jin’s movelist could possibly be. I say there is still PLENTY of time to consider him a good design based on the way he actually moves. Same goes for the Sol ripoff…there’s no way to know that he won’t do the wildest shit after you start playing him.
That jump to 3D for SFIV is looking dumber and dumber by the day.
