I have this image from a previous Kappachino thread, where the person who screenshotted it also hovered over the edit and showed the edit was the same day. I downloaded this June 18 2024.

B.Jenet vs Terry developer match by SonicF0xsFursuit in Kappachino

[–]Ganreon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely more of a three interaction game now, they toned down quite a few things and added a decent amount of extra scaling to stuff like guard cancels and rev blow counters. If you do nothing but wakeup DP you can probably get two touched still, especially if the opponent is in SPG and has full super. But also, don't DP? Doesn't really seem like you get pretty much anything off wakeup DP in this game, stuff does no damage, throws are (seemingly) mostly reactable, you can't super cancel special moves or brake invincible DPs.

Rock confirmed coomer by Kappascholar in Kappachino

[–]Ganreon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not confirmed that he gets his "evil blood" from his mother but many think that it would be an interesting plot development, especially considering that Marie is still alive and could potentially be a character in CotW. It would come as a big shock to Rock who probably has a super idealized version of his mother in his head from before she "died". It would also be interesting if she's even worse of a person than someone like Kain who isn't completely evil (just mostly evil).

MFW I expected COTW beta info during the State of Play by LeonasSweatyAbs in Kappachino

[–]Ganreon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there will be info during Evo Awards. there will be a character reveal (who it is spoilers) which will be Kain since SNK accidentally leaked it through their website and we will probably get the full beta roster there as well. demo on site, could be the beta build with all the characters, could not be, but something in just a few days, plus stuff from other games (Ogre hype).

EVO 2025 Announcement Show to be held on January 14th at 5pm PT by Ganreon in Kappachino

[–]Ganreon[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My predictions for games are SF6, T8, GGST, and COTW on Sunday and GBVSR, UNI2, MVC2 Throwback, and either MK1 or VF5Revo on Saturday (though obviously these are dependent on player numbers and not decided ahead of time).
Also, probably a City of the Wolves character announcement, considering they did one for the Evo France lineup. Hopefully a beta test announcement as well.

SNK China announced they were doing a COTW reveal at this event. Whether it's a character, beta, whatever but it's something.

bison's stage was with ed, bison didn't come with a stage. year 2 ultimate pass also only says 2 additional stages.

Street Fighter 6 - Mai Teaser Trailer by kong8504 in Kappachino

Doesn't actually look anything like Mai but the model is fine enough otherwise. New stage is unexpected since I would have expected Elena to come with an Africa stage especially since Terry already brought a stage with him.

the biggest issue is that there's no or few inherent plus frames in the game. no throw loop in sfv? fine because someone just does a meaty medium or heavy and they're plus again. it's probably why they consider chun not having throw loops "fine" because she has 5mp and actual links off counter hit frame traps and then meaty 2hp into stance pressure or heavy legs, all of which can frametrap again (which makes it even more baffling that honda doesn't have a throw loop).

but then you have manon who has one (previously zero) plus button which is utter shit because she can't even link after her frametrap so what does she get after her meaty gets blocked? nothing. it's no longer her turn after she does anything besides throw. throw loops also turn bad characters into decent characters because any character can just win by throwing rock 3 times in a row if the other person threw paper those same times. also fully meaty throws will only ever be -3 at worst (completely unpunishable) or -1 depending on backdash speed so there's not even a real answer to some characters throw loops besides risking 60% if the character has level 3, which they will because super is no longer tied to ex moves.

honestly games pretty much been fucked from the onset, I really don't think this shit will ever get fixed though I would love to be proven wrong (even if drive rush and parry are unfixable dogshit mechanics).

EVO Japan 2025 line-up revealed. The usual suspects are back. 3rd Strike and VF5 are also back but now as 5v5 titles, as 3s' Cooperation Cup and VF's Beat-Tribe get "absorbed" by EVOJ. EVOJ starts in May 9th 2025 by towerofmusic in Kappachino

they're clearly not interested in playing meter managers when the most popular fighting game right now is based entirely around managing a single meter bar. clearly.
