Why is it whenever a character wins anything the topic immediately shifts to nerfing said character?

Because capcom games are the base of the fgc and capcom games are used as a benchmark for other games balance-wise.
When it comes to sf5, I really think no characters needed nerfs because this game was way too barebones in the first place for that to be taking place.
I’d buy another sf4 over any future editions of sf5 fyi. or another sf3 over sf5 fyi.
This game isn’t terribad, but it’s just another sf game.

It’s a loop, don’t break the chain.

After 16 years of beeing here you still ask this question?

Isn’t that obvious?

Character wins tournament = character to good needs nerfs.

Why does it even matter if a games dead? Every game has done well in the series to varying degrees.

SF4 isn’t old enough yet, that’s how shit works. Man that movie kinda blows… 15 years later… Man this movie was an absolute classic!

Same shit is happening with Vinyl Records right now.

You ever got so sick to death of a tune on the radio only to hear it 8 years later and be like “man that was a great tune”

I knew some of you were gonna talk about Abigail nerfs HAHAHA

Yeah, SF4 ain’t old enough to have legendary status, people like Smug in 10 years will be talking about how SF4 was the shit, and how it revived fighting games. THAT’S WHEN YOU TRY TO REVIVE IT, not now.

Don’t forget the Laura buffs, she lost yesterday because she is honest because she lost yesterday’s tournament and hasn’t been winning much either :coffee:

Nothing much wrong with Abigail in the sense he’s just a SF5 character. Press two buttons lose 50% into guess. Nothing new.

Sure a shit won’t be complaining when Sagats Tiger destruction does Vanilla damage in SF5. Bring it to me.

So far when it comes to this game, if not farming FM from exp related tasks I will be sticking to Rog, Sim, Ryu & Zeku.
And everybody else will just be used in survival grinding and challenges for bigass FM bonuses.

Since this game rewards ya 800k from getting most of the roster to around 20 ish, continuing the game from that point should net you around 1.5million fm in total, or 2 million fm later on cuz of dailies.

Actually being here 16 years is precisely why I’m asking.

Seems like not too long ago if a character was a problem first thing everyone would do is put there heads together and try to come up with anti-tech for that character.

Now before replays are even uploaded people got their pitchforks at the gates of Capcom Hq calling for nerfs.

That’s because possibilities. Before if a character was broken you know you have to deal with it, now you know Capcom could revert those things who make that character too strong. Abigail isn’t broken, but needs adjustments. Better hurtboxes and damage reduction on VT could be enough.

The newer generation likes to adapt to new patches and OP characters, meanwhile the older 30+ year old people here like to cry nerf, what’s new? Kappa

I’m playing Kolin in training mode, I think a good change to her would be to let her air throw after an EX parabellum launch.

…I don’t even know. :rofl:

You frenchies know her as Marine S’mezz

Okay, I officially don’t have a main again, I played Mika today, and had too much fun, there’s just too many characters I enjoy to have a main, I will forever be a random hero. (player who just hits random select)

Y’all are so damn predictable. Abigail wins his first tournament so now the conversation is all about nerfing him.

Rock Hill, SC. It’s about 20 minutes south of Charlotte, NC.

You guys really talking about nerfing Abby?

  • no oki
  • nothing really real
  • bad dash/jump game
  • can’t throw safe CC buttons

Nerf the top tier first, who has all that and can also kill you in two guesses.
