Me too, tbh.

Give me Makoto Capcom or I will stick to USF4 and 3rd Strike!

Whoa whoa whoa, get in line, we're due a new Power Stone release first.

I’ll play it, but I have zero confidence in CapCom now making a great fighter.

MvC3, best of three to decide?

This exists already m8 I'm fairly sure.

I might give it a go but the trailer fooled me into thinking it was a new Final Fight so I'm approaching it disappointed.

From Joffo's twits:

The open world stuff looks meh

Buzzing that the standard vs is coming to xbox tho. The open wotrld bit will get ignored

This game and this divsion of Capcom do not deserve to be in two threads at the same time. Predicto - this will stink and people will play it anyway because it's Street Fighter, even if you can find the things that Street Fighter does being done better in a bunch of other games at this point.

For your own sanity, people itt who didn't see the fightman thread please play Guilty Gear Strive (or King of Fighters XV if you are feeling brave) if you want to play a recent fighting game, or the last Mortal Kombat or Soul Calibur 6 if you want some big single player campaigns and lots of unlocks and things to do with just you and the AI. 

Anyway, to illustrate my point about Capcom once again in case you didnt see it in the fightman thred of cool dudes, here's the Akuma reveal for SFV and then the reveal for when he was a guest character in a different game but actually managed to get written into the lore in a way that doesn't suck - on top of being translated into a completely different set of game mechanics insanely well. Capcom had an additional 11 months to prepare the reveal trailer for one of the most beloved characters in their flagship fighting game title. Only one of the two trailers below actually understood the assignment. 



I'm just an old man yelling at a cloud, but SNK, Arcsys, NetherRealm and Namco (and also Namco/Sora for Smash Ultimate) have all managed to actually release games in a finished state unlike Capcom - and Namco and Arcsys also managed to also put out additional fighting games with Soul Cal 6 and DBFZ & Blaz Blue without those games being dead on arrival unlike Marvel vs Capcom Infinite which managed to throw almost an entire decade of good will off the back of MvC3 into the bin in one fell swoop. 

tl:dr Capcom bad, stop giving their fighting game division your money, they stink out loud. Capcom please give the licence to a company that wont run the production on a shoestring and outsource character modelling and animations to random third parties because you don't want to maintain an in-house team or pay for a proper outsourced team like Dimps for SF4 because Street Fighter is just an afterthought behind Resident Evil and Monster Hunter at this point.

I've enjoyed my time with it. Loading times are a bit of a joke though.

PS5 tho, I'm sure that's supposed to improve load times for last gen games. Or maybe that's just an X/S thing. Think I'll grab it, thanks.

Rudge has the general right of it. It's infuriating that anyone wanting a modern footsie fighter with less than tiresome quantities of combowang is basically locked to SF, they're pure coasting. I keep hoping something plucky and attractive is going to spring up from the small-studio space but the trend there is still hectic stuff in the mould of Marvel/GG, so.

Guilty Gear much cop?

Strive has been made more new player friendly by making some things "simpler" like the combo system, and by reducing the instances in which your character can be knocked around like a ping pong ball if you fuck up. So it's probably the best point to get into GG if you've never played it before, even if the new changes have limited player freedom during matches a bit. 

It's definitely the most neutral and footsies based it's ever been though since the changes prevent a lot of the going buck wild on your opponent when they make a big enough mistake.

I still think the animations look horribly stiff.

Check out the hurricane kicks Ryu does in the commentary trailer for the worst example.

I feel like I'm just waiting for Tekken 8 to disappoint now to complete the pack.

Is Mortal Kombat 11 the only mainstream fightman without a deeper predecessor? Think it might be.

[edit]

Oh, about modern controls... we've had them before and they've been a handicap for experienced players, but in SF6 I'm wondering if a reduction in combo damage might be offset by immediate supers and the like.

In theory, there could even be a situation of pros using modern for some characters and classic for others.
