Hi guys

What other fighting game are boring to watch besides SFV?

Thanks

Jade’s projectile reflect is unmitigated ass. It’s only on her 3rd variation to replace glow as a soft nerf.

That variation is decent otherwise but I’m just letting you know now so you don’t get your hopes up.

Tekken and Power Rangers are great to watch.

Even though this game is old, KOF 98 is another game I can watch all day.

Can’t watch much of DBFZ and MK11.

Agree with DBFZ, I like the cinematic things and animation but I don’t feel the suspense and the thrill on matches. I don’t know why.

You guys really dont like watching DBFZ? I think the game was super dry in seasons 1 and 2 but the latest season is actually pretty good. Character diversity and strats went thru the roof with assists and meter changes. It’s still no mahvel and never will be but it seems to have found the balance it was trying to strike between a versus game and a simple anime game with very protective system mechanics. I like watching the 10v10 sets from japan and NLBC.

Granted I dont play that game anymore, so for all I know the changes just look good and the games really the same shit at its core. But it does look a lot better these days.

Nice! Those are two fun characters. I need a good anti-zoning counter-pick and I’ve debated using Jade for that (or Sindel’s V3), but I haven’t quite had the time to lab a second character.

Anyways, yeah that default variation thing is a pain in the ass. They really screwed that up as there’s no need for any other default variations at all.

You know about the presets in the ability section right? I figured you do, but thought id mention it. I think it took me about 2 hours one night change everyone.

Street Fighter 6 Falke ? I hope so.

I do wonder if Falke will return.

Unless she’s plot-relevant? Likely not.

Low key still mad they made Ed look like a complete goofball in his playable state. He looks absolutely ridiculous and arguably was a cooler character before getting playable.

How the fuck did Capcom botch him so bad?

I suppose they did not want a character that looked / is a little kid as a playable character ?

But then u got Sakura in old games,Ibuki also looks really young as well.

Well her chance is better than Eds

Waifu, German, Tall, Blond, Thiccer than Kruppstahl, Potential Memecharacter with the implementation of the Bonk Sound (I do think I saw a Mod who replaced her Hitsounds with Bonks).
Just animate her more, let her do more cool stuff with her staff and give her normal Inputs.
Also let her summon a Tank for her next Super. Call it Blitzkrieg <.<

Smash isn’t fun to watch, it’s fun to play tho.
Like when people RQ on me, because they lost to Beyleth or Lucina.
Or how I still win 9/10 times with my foolproof tactic of run up throw over and over… this community is weird.

They wanted to set up Neo-Shadaloo (Which is a whole can of worms) from the jump.

So instead of Hoodie Ed, y’know, the version of Ed that is actually relevant to this story, we got Edgy Ed with a Soundcloud account.

They vomited a ton of plot threads that will be a mess to actually resolve in the future because SF writers are completely inept and they didn’t even bother making sure the current ones got solved.

Hacks. The lot of em.

PS: I’m still salty about the bungled arcade mode!!!

They should hire me, I fix the entire SF Universe.
Step 1 make Bison a Joke Character to piss the Story Thread off.
Step 2 make Dan secretly Sheng Long to stand a chance.
Step 3 laugh at the great plot I already established compared to the current writer.

Man, this distance learning shit will be the death of me.

I tried studying for an exam rn.

Catastrophic results. Didn’t last 30 minutes. I’m sleepy, I’m annoyed and I barely learned anything.

The problem is that I actually got an exam in a little over an hour.
