Hilde. 

personally don't really care. 

[nachobro]

hilde

she was a shortcut to get people HEATED in 4 so i liked her just cause of that

[bork]

Ono is about to reveal something new for Street Fighter.  Character time?

[bork]

Gill?

Yup, Gill.  Cool stage and theme.  Gets a Darkstalkers Pyron costume, too.

Out next month.

[bork]

Oh snap, another trailer!

[bork]

Street Fighter V: Champion Edition. 

Looks like it's just the game with all the DLC up to this point (including Gill) included- characters, costumes, levels, etc.  About time they did this.  Will be $30- $25 if you already own the game.

EDIT: Not everything.    The Pro Tour sets and certain costumes (fighting chance, etc.) are not included.  LMAO.

[bork]

Two v-skills for everybody in CE.

No Gill until 2020?

[bork]

Ono said Gill is out in December.  CE is out on 2/2020. 

I wonder if that's it for characters?  Was really hoping Rose would be added.

[bork]

Yeah, $25 for 95% (more?) of the content is good.  I think before this if you were to buy everything the total cost would be well over $500. 

Champion Edition will retail for $29.99, but existing users can upgrade for $24.99. People who pre-order CE in North America (other territories vary) will receive a new color for each character, which will be redeemable at launch.

Also, if you pre-order, all of the available content that comes with CE will be unlocked at that time.

Essentially, this will be a way for new users to unlock a bunch of content in the game in a fresh package. For existing Street Fighter 5 players, if they wish to get a bunch of content they may have missed along the way, they can do so for about $25, or just keep playing the game like they have been previously, if having all of those extras do not interest them.

Capcom confirmed that the new V-Skills, balance changes and things of that nature will be available to existing players without upgrading, as they have been in the past.

The balance update and additional V-Skills were confirmed to be coming next month, December 2019, not on Champion Edition's release in February 2020.

[bork]

Gill is apparently character #39, so one more reveal to go before CE- guessing this will be at Capcom Cup next month.

LOL if it's just Seth. 

[nachobro]

lol at them releasing this and it still not having all the dlc

isnt there already a gill skin in the game? obviously not the same thing but still made me chuckle

Yes- holy shit, that's gonna be fucking hilarious in Urine vs. Gill match-ups.

Supposedly two of the pre-order colors:

Uh...you gonna SELL this, Capcom?

RE: SFV:CE Kind of annoyed at this, I am not sure if it's good enough value since I got a lot of the stages last sale. May just grab new characters, who knows. It's good for most people that haven't wasted a ton of money on it yet though.

I am actually in the camp that thought base SFV wasn't too bad aside from no arcade mode. Thinking about it I have liked/played it less and less as it's gone on. 

[nachobro]

its kinda worth it even if you are just getting the new characters. assuming they are $6 each, at that point its $13 more for (almost) every other costume and stage and in the game.

[Akala]

oops, yeah see edit. It's a good value considering what they went for.

[bork]

[thisismyusername]

Apparently, the new Guilty Gear plays like ass?  :'( Bunch of Twitter reactions for it has been pretty negative.

[nachobro]

seems to have been made more simplified in controls, which shouldn't really surprise anyone. arc has been exploring more simple controls for fighters since persona to varying degrees of success.

[bork]

SFV: CE will include the elusive Japanese-only EX colors from the "hot package" version of vanilla SFV.  About time.

It's also super-early and apparently not due out until late 2020.  And it's your typical 'fgc' whine, bitch and complain about anything new or changed response. 

[nachobro]

lmao oh wow i thought it was out much sooner. if it's a year til release people need to chill tf out

SCVI getting a meatier update than most expected. I am not seeing a price so not sure if will bite. I mean I’ll probably get it while drinking, but hey. 

*edit* patch notes:

https://media-center.bandainamcoent.eu/games/soulcalibur6/sc6_battle-adjustment200.pdf

In other news, may be TALES FROM ASS, but apparently SNK doing next KOF from scratch and not iterating models. If true I wonder if models will be closer to SamSho or the (great) ones in the new gatcha game on mobile.

The gatcha game KOFAS is actually a pretty fun mess.

[bork]

I would definitely expect the model quality to at least match Samurai Shodown.  Should be a nice improvement.

Just wish they would give KOF a break and make some other fighting games- was so awesome getting SS after all this time.

[bork]

I played 2b last night, and despite her feeling super good, SCVI's online is so terrible.

Highest network search, ended up facing a 1-bar warrior and a guy with "5 bars" and was jumping around like crazy. Don't even remember it being that bad on launch.

Namco needs to get their shit together.

It's fine for me.  Are you playing with a wired or wireless connection?

Shouldn't matter, tbh. It's been a decade now, modern fighters should be able to do what shooters did back in the day and work their packets for a smoother online experience, either wired or unwired.

[bork]

Yeah, yeah- that's great- my experience with that game online has been fine.  It does matter if you use a wired over a wireless connection, what speeds you have, how things are in your general area and if you're using cable with a lot of users at peak times and all that stuff.  I'm not making excuses for anyone, lol.  It is still better to play via a wired connection from my experience. 

You want to experience shit levels of connectivity in a PS4 fighting game?  Go try DOA5 LR.     SC6 is fine.  Tekken is fine too.  Better on PC, but still fine on PS4.  He had matches with two players with shitty connections and/or his connection was having issues, too.  Maybe he got matched up with people in another region or country?  Lots of variables here.

[thisismyusername]

"Variables" shouldn't matter, dude. At the end of the day, the fault falls on developers for not getting around bandwidth/lag/input issues all this time.

Fighting games have had weak-ass netcode since '06. With a few kernals of greatness (DOA2U) in that time-frame. I know you like fighting games, but please stop excusing the piss-poor netcode because "IT WORKS ON MY MACHINE!(TM)" isn't a valid defense for this.

[remy]

It's kinda wild DOA2 was so fucking old and still worked pretty well.

I'm not excusing anything.     SCVI is fine.  SCIV was bad last gen. 

Aren't you the one who never plays anything online anyway? 

[bork]

It's kinda wild DOA2 was so fucking old and still worked pretty well.

DOA2U was great for the time...then it was all downhill.  DOA4 was OK I guess and DOA5 was just...yeah.  DOA6 is better online but still not as good as you'd think, although it too generally is better on PC.  I think that goes for most fighting games nowadays.

[bork]

Team Ninja continuing to re-add everything from DOA5. 

Additionally, Koei Tecmo announced that development has begun on costumes that originate from Gust-developed titles, starting with Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, and that an unannounced character from Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation will join the roster of downloadable content characters in the future.

[nachobro]

Rachel looking to have some new moves compared to the 5 version so that's okay. I guess I'll get the game next time it's on sale now, was waiting for her.

[Akala]

WTF Soul Cali VI season 2 is $33.99 

[nachobro]

i can't find how many characters are in it, just hilde and haomaru announced so far. A bit much just for those two so I assume there's gotta be more. At least the balance and new moves are free.

[Akala]

2 more TBA.

*edit* looks like there is an extra slot on the character select so may be one more? who knows, think S2 is overpriced but will get eventually. looks like 4 additional stages incoming as well.

Also, barely tried, but game seems a bit faster than I remember lol

tekken added sagat (including his scar move) such a thrilling and creatively unique choice



or this is namco just making the unofficial tekken x sf

[thetylerrob]

He doesn’t really look like Sagat though other than being a tall Thai kick boxer.

[bork]

He's HUGE- crazy-ripped and inhumanly large.  Looks very much like Sagat from Street Fighter Alpha and onward.  I thought the same thing about Sagat when when watching that trailer.

I read nachos comment before I saw the video and was disappointed with the design because all the bits that aren’t like Sagat kinda ruin it for me. Way 2edgy 4 me

[nachobro]

hes got a wack look but i bet he's fun to play

[Akala]

T7 best fighter of gen. :bless

[Akala]

RE:T7 Leroy is fun to play and is kind of a hoss on punish, I can see him being popular. Ganryu seems ok but didn't play much. The new training mode is much improved, ability to cycle through punishes and sample combos is nice. 

[Steve Youngblood]

I dabbled in Tekken 7 again about a week ago. I’m still lousy. I think on my bucket list somewhere is “learn how to execute an EWGF at least 25% of the time with a Mishima.” I can’t fucking do it. It’s maddening.
