No, not because i wouldnt want to see one. Trust me , i do, especially more screen time for Juri.
But i think it may end up either rushed or pointless.
If most resources are directed to SF6 then they would deliver a better story campaign from the start. Where all characters could have something meaningful to do and say.
Long story short, i fear that a second story for SF5 may lower the quality for SF6 in the future.
This will require honest self-critical attitude and smart marketing.
Wich sound the opposite of what capcom is these years.
They will think SFV wasânt enough âwestern friendlyâ, and try to shape SF6 slighty into the direction of whatever bullcrap they think itâs mainstream these days, and plan again a 5 years milking starting offering the 30% of what they can
The shame is that SFV could have been a success if wasânt handled by these morons, the potential was all there
These are not even the same budgets
Thatâs just a typical fan concern, but reality is that marketing wise the best for SF6 will be show extreme quality/content support to SFV (making sure as many as possible see it), as it will improve consumers trust into your handling of the brand and long-run promises
For when SF6 will become a thing, you should want the consumer to see your company/brand in a positive light and SFV will be the product took as example
@Cestus_II No, I think that they went safe and compromised between Japan-USA.
Ishikawaâs art for reference.
Now look at anything between 2008-now. The artists knows how to make use of dark lighting to make colours stand out more and does experiment with using more âweirdâ palettes. Too bad he works for PokĂ©mon now. I feel that the art fits MM because it was made at a time where Classic MM was becoming more gradually more character-driven and story based. And right now Classic should work towards building itself a continuation to things established between the arcade games and MM&B rather than being like 9+10 and going back to square 1.
It depends where itâs placed. If it comes towards the end of SFVâs life then it has more chance of being rushed but if it comes out now or in S4 then itâll turn out better. Of course the writers are key for the story but it should come out at the time from now up to mid-2019 is IMHO, the best time to do so.
I also feel like if NS story happens in 6 then both their build-up, along with Urien+Kolinâs will have been pointless in this game.
I get your concern, frankly I think that A Shadow Falls already suffered from a rushed development, like parts of the story were either missing or poorly explained.
On my end though Iâd like for SFV to keep improving as a product, so that when the time will come for it to get replaced by SFVI it will do so on a better note compared to how it was released. Rushing SFVI out to replace SFV just because SFV is unpopular among a bunch of the fanbase is not something Iâd like to see (youâre not suggesting that anyway).
Wich is something they should not have done for MM
They should have tried dive full into MM artstyle and evolve from there, but they chosen for a more open design that in theyr opinion speak to a wider audience (while keeping âfansâ busy with nostalgia vibe) even if results into a mediocre looking thing
Not just for art style but for everything else TBF. In terms of plot they just use the 7/8/arcade/&B as a jumping board for where they want to go. Like Roll was getting more involved and then sheâs not all of a sudden, King+Duo seemed like they were going to return, it never happened. All these things etc, I can understand why because the classic fanbase is allergic to anything from that period but especially since plot and Replay Value is more important, youâd think theyâd listen.
I still have high hopes for 11 though. Even of the VA sounds nothing like a child but thatâs a topic for another day.
I wouldnât want to see 6 be rushed just to out-phase SFV. Especially since SFV has drastically improved. Right now, I also feel that they polish the game some more and plot-wise, a conclusion to Neo-Shadaloo towards the end so we donât have this awkward shift and we can finally move on instead of padding for time.
Tbh story wise all SFV need is a bit of NeoShad development/closure and a straight link to SF3.
And maybe this G tv show-tournament thing if theyâre committed to it
Can be done as 1 or 2 more âcinematicâ (lol ingame graphic) chapters⊠wich to be real if exist are already beeen done (2nd) or being worked on in advance (3rd)
The biggest factor here is that i donât feel iâm asking âmoreâ for SFV, but that iâm asking the complete SFV
Because instead do theyr best and then ADD, they clearly and blatantly hold back contents to stick to theyr strategies and long-time milking.
Wich caused tons of people (actual fans and random tards) to thow shit at Capcom (deserved) and SF (undeserved)
Just a fresh example i can think they just updated Survival mode into something decent (wich costed them kinda small work) after fuckton of time
Arcade is so half-assed and still took them years, all to get endings designed by a bunch of random different artists that canât compare to Capcomâs classic hands, in borderline fanart fashion
I had to wait fuckton for 2nd VT (wich made game funnier imho) and i hope at some point i will see 2nd CAs too
The king of Muay Thai isânt still avaible, and like him great characters are or have been hold back in âfuture seasonsâ perspective
SFV alt colors are on general the crap and if God wants one day (the last day of SFV LOL) i will fix them in my version with color edit (still praying the leaker was right), wich modders say itâs very easy implemented in SFV code
Fuck the ârushed argumentâ
Everything in SFV feel hold back on purpose to stick to some 5 years milking strategy about deliver stuff you could have done at launch or inside first year
So, being not in the position of change that, hope for SFV end to be skipped in favor of SF6, is like be ok with never see the âcompleteâ SFV after all this time spent on it
Sound masochistic
Specially if âSF6â end up be another DMCV
Reality is thatâs not just on your end
Thatâs exactly how smart marketing should work on you (and on everyone else) as consumer, to fidelize you into next products, specially ones of same brand
I think just one chapter is enough TBF. The SF3 link can be done through character stories or maybe even just a smaller chapter with not as much stuff in it.
Thatâs exactly what I said before, Capcom should look towards improving on the stuff they have already before they plan on adding new features. It seems that Capcom is working on that right now.
Because most of these âgreatâ characters were already in SF4 or made no sense to add at that point in time. The launch SFV added characters who didnât make the jump to 3D back in SF4. Letâs not forget that the likes of Vega, Cammy and Balrog werenât in Alpha until the last one so this is just something theyâve done since forever.
I never even said that, where do you get that idea from?
Tbh a new chapter will help build these S2/S3 new chars they introduced, like ASF did well to Rashid, Fang and partially Necalli and Helen/Kolin
Otherwise they will feel much more just filler shit dropped in imho
Considering start/s1 cast got ASF, having S2/S3(S4 and S5?) getting nothing will feel like an interruption⊠natural SFV cast development feels like will work well with 2nd chapter covering S2/S3 (Metro city, NeoShadaloo, G etc) and a 3rd for S4/S5 (as easy link to SF3)
Nobody ask to do it ânowâ, but if they did shit correctly they already have it done, at least 2nd one
Most of the post wasânt a direct reply, just the first part
I meant 1 new chapter is enough, canât honestly see them making 2 new chapters.
Gill was super low in the character popularity list from last year. I doubt Capcom wants to make him the main villain again
I sincerely hope that Capcom ignores the result of all popularity polls and that poll in particular when it comes to deciding which characters should get in.
Well, they have to do something with Gill. Even in SF3 nothing happened to him, he just throws fights for giggles and hands over a paper to Ibuki. Gill is still at large and heâll be a big part of a post 3S era for sure.
@Phantom_Miria As if the large essay you wrote way back on the unfortunate implications on not voting Cammy wasnât proof that the poll was terrible.
At this point me neither, but in all honestly iâm not considering S4/S5 for what we know we got in theory still 2 full seasons that may easily justify a third (and a second lol)
And thatâs the kind of crap they should not consider while taking creative decisions
Specially considering there are so many factors that inflence the votes, and none of these about the overall quality of the game
Btw Gill doesânt need neither to be playable or the main villain of final arc, it will be even more fitting to his pre SF3 story to just work as hidden Boss, similar to Akuma
Will like to see Tom (as new playable char) vs him though, perfect game for him
Heâs such a cheesy looking boss, not surprised people dont like him.
Well, TBF Gill was just a tech demo. Canât see him having that novelty now since SF switched to 3D. Ironically his brother is more charismatic.
#TeamUrien
Indeed, Urien is a far better character
