For the most part, Genan is a lone exception no? Most fighting games have a token "weird" character. They pretty much all suck unless it's a trademark "Weird" fighting game like GG or BB.

Naw, Yokai is cool. SamSho usually never had an issue with this, because even when it goes weird, it was usually still pretty cool. Show me a weird SF character as cool as that. Also, I never said SS never had weird characters. It has its share. It has a big fat dude with a giant iron chain and a uguu girl with a hawk she talks to. However, as weird as SamSho ever got, the characters still fit within the game. The original argument was that SNK games don't have anything nearly as goofy as Kangaroos with boxing gloves, and for the most part, they didn't. Compare to SF, and most weird characters are weird and random. Most of them are lame like Twelve, or Seth, or Hakan. Also, unlike those other games, mythological/weird characters make sense within the context of Samurai Shodown, being a game taking place in feudal Japan with spirits and stuff. On the other hand, going from lightning gloves to Kangaroos with boxing gloves is a pretty stark departure.

Let's see.

A Dick Tracy noir CIA agent with a...silver mask.

One of the laziest and worst designs ever to grace a fighting game.

No words.

An oil wrestler except he has no pupils so is he even human? Uses actual oil for attacks and gets opponents slippery. Lame as fuck.

May be worse design than Q.

May be worse than Roger.

Weird fighting game characters in otherwise cool casts are the worst and usually sport the most lazy, awful designs in gaming.

One of the few lone exceptions I can think of is Voldo from Soul Calibur. He made weird COOL.

I remember EX being average at the time, I just liked the weird Skeleton Sentai dude. The EX games are probably complete trash outside the realm of the single digit aged fanboy that I was.

No, the first two games were good. EX3 was rushed crap. Arika also made Fighting Layer for Namco, which was an arcade-only EX style game that Allen and Blair.

Q was to me an obvious reference to Cybernauts in the Avengers (their trademark attack is breaking necks with the edge of their open hands)

Also some shades of the old series japanese Robot Detective perhaps.

The design is not so random, is what I mean. His theme in 3S has a very deliberate retro science fiction vide. It's not even that weird, especially alongside Necro or XII...

I think the Blanka thing came from the Famitsu pictures. In one of them she has an electricity thing going on.

Who are these idiots who think she plays like Blanka? I don't see any of that in the trailer. Is it cause she's Brazilian and has electricity? Blanka got these dude's shook.

Her Ultra (or whatever they're calling it now) looks like Blanka's a little.

PC port was pretty good. The Steamworks port was a bit of a fiasco but ended up being average in the end.

Capcom's PC ports are mostly okay. I haven't heard extreme bitching for any of them outside of Devil May Cry 3 (outsourced ages ago) and Dead Rising 3 (which to be fair ran like ass on the X-box as well).

Yeah, but I doubt the PS4 launch basically stuck you with a username you didn't want because it said the one you wanted was taken. Only to find out later that the one that was "taken" has no record on Capcom Fighter Network.

SMH, Capcom.

I keep having issues on the waterfall stage -and only on the right side of the stage- on the PC beta, otherwise it runs great.

But I've been playing it on PS4.

I like that they're dropping in beta test 1 characters now. Bison, Nash, and Chun are back, and Ryu is next. Wonder if they'll all be in by tomorrow morning?

thisismyusername · « **Reply #462 on:** October 25, 2015, 12:50:01 AM »

Huh. Bison and Chun weren't there when I last tried it. I did play Nash and I like how he played but I suck ass at playing. :'( Doesn't help that the netcode is all over the place with some people teleporting or random framedrops/lag.

thisismyusername · « **Reply #463 on:** October 25, 2015, 10:27:42 AM »

Chun's leg spammy attack being changed to a QCF is a weird change.

But both her and Bison being charges when Vega was changed is a little funky. Though not unexpected.

Ryu and Birdie are both kinda fun to play even though I suck at using Birdie.

Cammy is Cammy.

The only one I haven't tried is R. Mika and I doubt I will before the beta closes. So

whatever, I guess?

There's a rumored leak where Alex, Urien, Juri, Ibuki, Guile, Balrog and Dhalsim are in the game.

And that's fucking awesome!

There will be 16 characters at launch and we know there's:

1. Ryu
2. Ken
3. Chun
4. Gief
5. Bison
6. Nash
7. Mika
8. Cammy
9. Necalli
10. Laura
11. Rashid
12. Karin
13. Birdie
14. Vega

So that just leaves two slots. We know one is for a new character, so that's just one returning character. So what they've data-mined either turned up the first batch of DLC, or characters you encounter in the game's story mode.

Yeah bork, I read that earlier. seems like some of them are just background characters, which sucks.

There's a whole breakdown stating that the number of parts the characters have are too numerous to just be background characters, though.

People are kidding themselves if they don't think this game isn't going to be a DLC fest, especially with no updates being sold as separate games. I expect them to load it up with characters and cosmetic stuff like crazy. Basically what they did with Street Fighter X Tekken, except this time they're being smarter and not hiding all the data in the initial release files, and the breakdown for everything will probably end up costing more than some $40 expansion ever would.

I'm sure they've taken note of what other companies have done. Look at how well Koei-Tecmo has done with costumes for DOA5, which are still being released over three years after the first version came out.

We have confirmed that we will be releasing 6 new characters post-launch in 2016, which will bring the total roster up to 22 characters by the beginning of 2017. On average, we will release one new character every two months, provided everything stays on track with our development schedule.
