It’s rank 20 among the worst costumes, SFV had 300 plus costumes.

Even collectors that are fan of Ken still modify SFV Ken statue and figure with classic costume.

Even that even Ken mentioned to dislike it lol

Has anyone here gotten into the Metal Revolution beta? If so, thoughts?

I just did a whole character if trials in BBCF on pad just to see how it feels… man I’m bored

I like it waaaaaaaaaaaaay more than his original boring uninspired “I’m Ryu in red” costume

You tripping. Most people dislike the hair and face in general. Outfit is fire.

It was more of the Ken fans that disliked.

They should had gone something loose and still red even it wasn’t a karàte gì. Something how NRS evolve Scorpion and Sub, but still strong on their main color.

@Volt

It might be appealing for those aren’t into ken because it about change and difference but the color palette was essential and they should be wearing loosely clothes

Its not check the poll on eventhubs and some colllectors of Ken.

Finished Bloodstained.
There was a 15 second screen freeze during the final boss fight, and I had at least four “well how the fuck was I supposed to know that without a guide”-moments of being stuck, as well as one embarassing misclick that made me run in circles for over an hour. Still a fun game but… well, it has some really fucking glaring flaws.

So I finished two great and one solid metroidvania in one week.
I’m getting severe FG cravings now. I wanna 444 my way to Tekken God Prime, lame people out i Samsho, dunk dudes with Thunder in KI and spam tigershots in ST (which apparently has a small revival going on in Norway, I only got the note two days ago).

He’s still wearing red. A black shirt with red accents and his traditional red pants + his red gi tied around his waist aren’t like he’s cosplaying someone else. :man_shrugging:

I am playing more Red Dead 2 and i am playing high honor Arthur.Unsure how far i am in the game but Arthur changed a lot.I can see what you mean when you said he is one of the best if not the best written characters in a video game.

I think this is easily Rockstar’s best games ever made.

The problem is that his black has became his primary and red became secondary. It’s not just he red still.

Red used to be and the primary and yellow is the secondary then the rest follows. Plus they should be wearing loose clothes not tight.

Even those figs and statue that had SF decent SFV Ken face is still modified to wear the red all over. Red is what make Ken standout to Ryu they should had kept it and it’s popular since the brand is pop culture icon in the video game industry than other fighter . Other example beside from SubZero and Scorps is Mario and Luigi which is more relevant because of the brand status.

Ok, so if the shirt was red with black accents, would it be ok?

Because frankly, I really don’t see how them trying to make Ken less “Ryu, but red and with a flaming DP” is a bad thing.

Yes It would and still had the top clothes loosely. yellow would also work.

His new Tatsu is nice already, he could have slightly different bend and posture when performing the hadouken.

Tons of fighting game in NEOGEO(not just those SNK titles) had already did mutiple variants of hadouken like body movement and pose which still differ from Ryu.

Ken is imo more fun then Ryu and lucked out.

Being SF’s image Ryu is destined to never really evolve much as a character both gameplay and story (sadly).Ken has the “luxury” of not being the poster boy so Capcom has more room to experiment with his visual design as well as moveset.

Hopefully they actually make him look like this in SF 6.

I only needed a walkthrough once, for getting to the second half of the game, but used one a few more times to find the last hidden rooms. Never had a glitch the whole game, though I understand the PC version is the best.

I know a zillion people needed help on that water traversal powerup, but I breezed through it. Something about the room just screamed Tutorial to me.

Hollow Knight I needed help on how to beat the watcher knights as well as how to get to the true ending.

Ryu is actually a fine character when he’s not being actively gimped.

His VT1 is pretty cool too, even though burning V-Timer on a DP that isn’t fully invincible is one of the most dimwitted design decisions in this game.

Ken in V is really cool too, but I just can’t understand why they made his buttons so ass.

Ken’s jumping fierce is basically a dive kick.

Great. Because of course Ken mains needed more reason to jump.

Yeah because has been the get-in and go-to entry character of the series that people would usually pick for understand a game because he would be the most familiar. I don’t mind him to be the usually basic shoto, that is honest but still they should give him an edge to exploit.

Yet I understand also why they wouldn’t do that because that would cause not to the diversify the selected characters but I do believe the designer can exploit him being predictable and obvious because of him being honest and basic which would be a drawback when using him.

If you look inside your heart you will realize, you never needed to get the tables.

The tables were there the whole time.

:sob:

Thanks fam. Hope you and everyone here is doing well.

Got my computer finally so hopefully with a Steam sale or two I can reload on FGs and try it on a platform that has a bit more kick to it.

Updated my Steam ID to be the same as here so if anyone wants to friend me there just hit me up.

Been saying it for years now.

Defense and mid-range.

Ryu doesn’t need to have the same number of tools of Akuma or Ken’s offense, just give him solid defensive tools and mid-range buttons and with his damage, we good.
