Khuntry's my partner. If not him, my bro. Both are overall better than me. Either way you guys are screwed. But now that Drak has new grapplers, and the engine has more freedom than SSF4, we may have new rivalries.
|
So are there more characters left to announce, or did they all get announced already?
|
So disappointed T. Hawk most likely isn't making an appearance. Expect fierce competition, but not outright domination this time around.
|
Two more (Bison, Jin) and then four bosses maybe.
|
Almost certain there will be character DLC.
|
Hope so. I know it was just discussed about having more characters, but I always enjoyed larger rosters. Only a few characters I'd personally have liked to seen, though.
|
They never said they wouldn't have updates like AE. Just that they wouldn't release disc based updates. We might get SFxT Turbo or something as a DLC roster/gameplay update. Then we might see T. Hawk, Dee Jay etc.
They could always charge 1200 or 1400 MSP for character packs. SFIII Pack with Makoto, Sean, Alex and Q or Alpha Packs with Mika, Karin, Sakura and Sodom or something. I'm pretty confident about my chances against two human opponents, once I get back into the swing of things. |
Shocked Eddy Gordo didn't make it.
|
I'm not. Seems everyone I know who isn't a dedicated fighting game fan fucking hates the guy. "UR JUST MASHING DA BUTTONS! RAAAAAAAAAAAGE!" I mean, you've played with me when I use him, Fig. You know I know his moveset pretty well (save for the Tekken 6 tweaks). I kinda wish they released Dark Ressurection on XNLA because 5 is my game and I love the tweaks they made. Anyway, tangent over. My point is that Eddie/Christie are lethal in the right hands... pretty much like any Tekken Character.

Seriously though, if we ever got to create a character in SF, I'd probably put myself in the game. That's usually my first creation in these things. |
Some of you know what that means... Blue 'fro, red pants, bad attitude.
|
SoulCalibur is way ahead of the pack in this regard.
|
I could never "get" Soul Calibur. I had the first one for the PS1 and for XBLA. Enjoyed it on both consoles but couldn't get into it in the same way I could get into a SF game for some reason.
I remember trying again when they added Link to whichever number it was. Still couldn't get comfy so I missed out on the create-a-character of the later games. Glad it looks like a future addition to a series I enjoy. |
SoulCalibur is my favorite fighting series. Take it more seriously than Street Fighter.
|
It's funny we're talking about SC now. We're having a special SoulCalibur night at our weekly Street Fighter league at work featuring SC3 and SC4.
|
I love Maxi.
And Christie/Eddy. |
If this game does well enough, I wonder if we will see a sequel. Maybe Capcom X Namco. Would be jizztacular.
|
Capcom announces the pre-order bonus for buying the game off of their Capcom Store is a lanyard or key chain that has all the characters in the game in 8-bit form.

All Sony exclusive. |
Wow.

So I'll be getting this for PS3 to start. Was talking to Funky's brother, and we both want to play as the exclusive characters. And since he's the person I play fighting games with more than anyone else, it's pretty much a given. I'll get it for xbox too eventually, but probably not til like, summer.
|
Just killed any interest I had in getting this. Fine with exclusive characters of Sony properties, but why make me miss out on PAC-man and Mega Man because I want it on PC?
|
As expected, this has caused a shit storm with the megaman fanbase.
Should be grateful that they included any version of the character. |
My initial reaction was "goddamn it fucking exclusive characters for PS3 bullshit" until I realized I would never play with any of those characters.
|
I'll definitely use Megaman, and Cole has been growing on me after seeing him in action a bunch of times.
Also, playing street fighter 4 just makes me want to play this even more. ugh. |
I just want to know what the fuck is up with Microsoft putting a stop to exclusive characters. That seems horribly thought out.
|
Capcom approched MS about exclusive characters, but they took too long in the approval procees, so Capcom just moved on without them.
|
So lame.
|
I'm still getting it on 360. My arcade sticks are there, and I'm not going back to playing on pad. Have an infinitely larger friends list on 360 as well.

Someone should ask them that instead of the stupid questions they usually ask. |

Feeling a bit "meh" towards the game just now. I was cool with PS3 getting exclusive guys and I bought the whole "MS were too slow to say yes to our offer." explination but they wouldn't have needed MS's say so to throw in Pacman or Megaman. I wouldn't have minded giving Pacman a spin. Megaman, not so much. After the whole mess surrounding MM in the last year with canceling his 2 games, excluding him from MvC3 and UMvC3, putting in Bad Box Art Megaman does come across as more of a "troll" than a funny joke. "Lol! You said you wanted Megaman in a crossover game. Here you go!" |
Nah, apparently it was Inafune's idea. Talked to Ono about it over a year ago before the game was even announced.
|
Newegg has this on sale for $45 but only for this weekend.
Enter promo code at checkout: EMCYTZT1116 Except there are no pre-order gems and 3 day shipping. It usually gets there on the Thursday though. |
Possibley good news, if it's true. There was a leaked roster list not long after the game was revealed. It revealed Pacman riding Mokujin and Bad Boxart Megaman would be in the game along with other characters that are in.
I think it's a safe bet that it is a genuine list if it was as specific as saying Pacman would be riding Mokujin. Anyway, according to that list, Pacman and BBAMM are not PS3 exclusives, so maybe they are timed exclusives and will be DLC for the 360 in a few months. If you look up the list, please don't post characters that haven't been revealed yet. So close to release, I don't want it spoiled now. |
That's not good news. They may kindly suck my balls if they expect me to pay for characters that should be in the purchase price in the first place.

So, apparantly, BBAMM is the MM from MML.
Quote:
So, they cancel a game a lot of people want, blame those people for it's cancellation and then turn the hero those same people were looking forward to playing into that guy in SFxT? |
One sentence that bears resemblance to Volnutt doesn't make him that. People are reading too much into that.
|
It's like including a middle aged Link in a fighting game and saying in his bio "Known as the Hero of Time..." you instantly know, it's OoT Link. It's the same with Megaman. "Known as a digger" is all you need to know it's Megaman Volnutt. No other MM is a digger.
|
Except the Link thing just wouldn't bother me. "Hey look, Saturday morning cartoon Link is in SoulCalibur V. People wanted him back since SC2 and they choose the worst Link ever. And he's supposed to be the Hero of Time Link? ...Oh wait, I don't give a shit."
Why on Earth would this be a problem? It's not even a Mega Man game, it's a guest spot on a fighting game - where he still has no bearing on the warring franchises. His look, bio, moves and such do not matter. Pac Man fans seem to be fine with Pac riding mecha. |
Hey look everyone! It's Kalyx!
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IzPFHcksuM...teve+Urkel.JPG Known as a nerdy black guy with an odd voice and lover of women, Kalyx TriaD has joined our conversation here in this thread. |
Thanks RoXer, and goodbye.
|
Gee, you're not upset about this, are you? It's just a representation of you based on your habits. It's not as if you won't be taken any less seriously.
Right? |
It just seems odd that of all the MM they could have attached him to, they chose Legends. A series whose fanbase they insist on pissing off.
Given that he's fictional, Capcom attaching a background to a character makes them that character. Even if it's not a MM game or canon. In SFxT, Volnutt is a middleaged, overweight loser in lycra. That, along with cancelling MML3 and blaming the fans, gives the impression that they think lesser of the Legends fanbase than they think of the Classic or X fanbase. You can't tell me no one would be pissed if they canceled, for example, X9, blamed the X fanbase and then made X a fat loser in lycra in MvC4. They didn't need to attach Volnutts background or anyones background to BBAMM. They could fix this entire thing by adding the word "imposter" somewhere in his bio. |
Eventhubs is currently down btw. Just rows and rows of code.

Quote:
I'd also assume some of the anger could also be related to the strange or bad decisions Capcom has made this generation which keeps getting their fanbase really upset (ex. Resident Evil switching to an action-focused games, costly DLC, multiple versions of the same game, etc). |
Quote:
My guess is Ono and Inafune legit thought BBA-MM was a cool and funny idea. The Legends backstory may have been either a cheap placeholder because they didn't want to craft an actual story for who was always a joke icon in the MM franchise. Personally, if Inafune himself is cool with it that's end of story. No corporate trolling or whatever. They thought it was cool, they attached known canon to him out of laziness, that's that. |
Quote:
So while I may understand why Khuntry is pissed at not having a proper MM or X in legit form for MvC3, or having Legends 3 or Universe come out, I don't see why the public at large gets so testy with the conspiracy theories when the public at large did not support Mega Man in the franchise's time of need. Quote:
|
Excuse me, but I am the die hard mega man fan around these parts.
Also, to be fair, mega man 9 and 10 did very well, financially and critically, so the public HAS supported the series as of late. |
Quote:
Universe was reported to be a mess with its controls but it was fixable. Legends 3 had a lot of excitement around it. Even when they insisted on only showing footage of that weird new guy and not MM, people ate it up. I even had plans to buy a 3DS purely to play MML3 and I'm not even the most hardcore MM fan. There was no shortage of attention for either MM game. Even now, there is a petition for the continuation of MML3 with almost 60,000 supporters. That's almost 10,000 new supporters each month and it's just the hardcore English speaking fans. I'm sure there are even more here, in Japan and elsewhere that haven't signed the petition. Though Capcom have said the game is dead for good. No matter how many people petition. I know Inafune may have suggested BBAMM be in SFxT but I doubt he suggested attaching him to any previous MM. |
Only been rumored so far and not officially confirmed but it appears the 1st set of DLC content got leaked. Only 2 packs are character packs while the rest is related to gems or outfits.
Quote:
|
Guy and Christie? :drool:
|
|
Why Alisa?
Wulong should be fun though. |
Yeah, would rather have a balanced, not shitty character instead. Give us Dragunov or Bryan or Bruce or anyone else, really. Just not her.
|
Well actually, I'd rather have elisa than Leo. Boooooooorrrrrriiiiiiiiing
|
Leo reminds of that other generic androgynous type from DOA 4. Can't even remember his name. My brother is lethal with Leo, though. I'm seeing Leo/Lili/Ibuki/Cammy/Raven hell in the near future.
|
Lei Wu-Long makes me happy.
|
Lei always struck me as a necessarily 3D character. Let's see how he adapts.
|
I think he's fit. I hope at least half his moves stay in. Great if all of them.
|
If I got to choose any more characters (besides Bison and Jin, since it's a given they are in) it would be Bryan Fury and Eddy on the tekken side, and Blanka and Alex on the street fighter side.
|
Honestly though, was really hoping for Alex here, since he didn't make AE.
|
I want Alisa though.
But if that rumored DLC is true, I want Christie and Cody |
I still think that we've been told who is in the game through the crossover outfit swap images.
Here are the images from a few months ago, in spoilers because there are a lot of them, and I've added who each character is dressed as and underlined the characters that have been anounced in some form or other (Gameplay, CGI trailer, Teaser, DLC list). So it makes sense that the characters not revealed but still represented are likely in, either at release or as future DLC. It would be weird to have some outfits be based on included characters and have others be references to characters that aren't in. The fact that a lot are in means that these aren't just references to characters they didn't put in. SPOILER: show |
Julia's Chun-Li looks really good.
|
There's no way that those costumes tell us who's left. Would be just too many characters for balance sake.
If anything a lot of those costumes are done to slightly appease fans who didn't get the character they wanted. In that regard, I think better sign of who's yet to be announced is to look at what characters didn't get represented as Costumes. Eliza and Wu Long aren't in. Neither are Eddy or Fury. |

Capcom posted this "teaser" image. http://media.eventhubs.com/images/20...isonteaser.jpg Dunno...Looks like Sakura to me.:shifty: |

Yeah, Angel is a model swap of Devil.
|
And Devil is Kazuya.
Class dismissed. |

Quote:
Honestly, the angel costume makes me more convinced this dlc is meant simply to be nods to different characters of the series, as opposed to any indication of who's left to be announced. |
Yeah I think that, too. Unless Kazuya himself has a Devil/Angel alt model. I mean, SF4 has a million costumes.
|
Bison, Akuma, Jin, Ogre - Art/Moves:

Quote:
Unless they're going to have a trailer that suddenly reveals 6 characters we had no idea where in. |
Doubt it. They're done, outside of future DLC.
|
So do I.
|
I'm assuming these movesets are only partial...
|
Yeah, arcade sticker style.
|
So it's 3am, I'm bored and I have a crazy new theory about characters.
A few character teams seem a bit odd. Why would Zangief and Rufus be a team? Why would Rolento and Ibuki be a team? Why would Sagat and Dhalsim be a team? I think I've got it figured out. The logical partner for Zangief is R.Mika. He is her idol, they fought in SFA3. Rolentos logical partner is Sodom, both are FF bosses. Despite being "rivals", I'd think Adon would make more sense than Dhalsim as Sagats partner. I don't know about Adon but I've seen a lot of requests for R.Mika and Sodom and, Capcom being Capcom, they aren't going to pass up the opportunity to make a few extra dollars from this. So they left R.Mika and Sodom out, along with other characters, I'm sure, in order to sell them later as DLC. Zangief and the others now have no partner so they use these openings to fit in characters who they couldn't give a partner to. Rufus, Ibuki and Dhalsim. |
Those being modeled from the last game, and R.Mika's attire is on Kuma as an alt. Makes sense.
|
And Heitachi has Sodom as an alt attire.
I am curious about one other thing. If the 2 SF bosses are M.Bison and Akuma and M.Bison is teaming with Juri, will Akuma be going solo or will he have a partner? Unless the final fight will be a team of Akuma and Ogre. A super bad guy team. |
That seems likely.
|
If anyone wants to hear the character select theme, here it is, posted by Capcom themselves as part of a dancing competition.
They want people to make up a dance to that music using moves from SFxT. No idea what the prize is. |
The Arcade mode intro of each of the revealed teams and their team fight intros. Story spoilers, probably.

SPOILER: show |
Good thing you used that spoiler tag. The fact that there's a mission mode may well ruin this game, nay, video gaming as a whole, for some people.
|
Drakul didn't seem to want to know anything in the achievements section, and I didn't know if it was announced yet.
|
Combo trials most likely.
|
Probably what Kalyx said but it would be cool if it were like SFIV that had that mode with stipulations like the opponent is invisable or you're invisable or you have infinite EX etc.
|
Yeah but the list also mentions a Trial Mode, which I assume is the same type of stuff in SF4, so Mission Mode is something else.
|

I like how you put the pictures in the spoiler tags, but not the videos, whose titles clearly state the characters.
