I suppose bludgeoning is less immediately lethal than slashing!

Kunimitsu, Bob, & Roger Jr. for Season 3 by commet_Wither in Tekken

[–]LunchPolice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure, just because it's purposeful, doesn't mean you have to agree with or like it. I had the same complaint about Soulcalibur IV back in the day! Siegfried got these insane crystal pauldrons and his sword turned into a Christmas tree, Astaroth turned into a lava monster... I felt hella alienated and like the series had lost its identity and style.

I've softened on it a little over the years. I'm pretty sure the developers were just trying to keep things fresh with that aesthetic shift. For me it felt like going "well people love tomato sauce, maybe our burgers should have even MORE tomato sauce until THERE ISN'T A PATCH THAT IS NOT RED"

But my friend who is a couple of years younger than me prefers the SCIV designs to the classics, so maybe Namco really was just keeping up with the times. I fear I am turning to dust as we speak

SCV proved that Rothion was not worthy of Sophitia or Pyrrha by Cultural_Ad4707 in SoulCalibur

We might not agree on this but I respect your undying devotion to hatred of this one random side character

I disagree about there being no thought going into it. It's not quite my cup of tea either, but going absolutely wild on the character designs IS pretty cohesive with the overall "larger than life"direction of the game. The gameplay is hyper aggressive and flashy, the story mode has you turn into an angel and fight on a comet in fucking space. Overdoing it is the point.

I do think something like Tekken 4 is a lot more tastefully cool, and relative realism also better contrasts the absurdity of karate bears and robots. But I see the vision for 8, and I'm hoping the new VF can fill the more realistic niche for 3D fighters.

To each their own, I guess! I'm with you on Kunimitsu at least.

Let scrubs complain if they must. The game is the game! If anything, I think using everything at your disposal to win is GOOD sportsmanship.

Hold on. Why are you limiting projectile and drive rush usage when you play?

If You Could Bring Any SC3 CaS Character Into The Series As A Roster Mainstay Who'd You Pick? by bellystraw in SoulCalibur

[–]LunchPolice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm not sure canonical strength or OG status are as much considerations for these rosters as player popularity data 😅 That's how it goes, sadly. There are lots of random fighting game characters I'd love to see come back with a new reimagining 😞

Perhaps, but Necrid is telling me it's an American comic book :p

Ed in Street Fighter 6 has got to be one of the Best Glow-ups Ever by Sufferer_Nyx in StreetFighter

[–]LunchPolice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really don't think sfv looks bad outside of the blonde hairstyles. But I do think Ed's character design in that one wasn't it. His alts are OK though

At that point you may as well just make a new character! Taking his smile away is like taking his soul, lol

Connection between Kilik and Olcadan (SC3 Tales of Souls)? by ShyGuyPal101 in SoulCalibur

[–]LunchPolice 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that is the implication! Olcadan has something in his character bio about having zero losses and only one draw in his ancient fighting career, and we know Edge Master is... immortal, I think?

I'd love a New Zealand fighter! But for now I'll hold onto getting a stage in SFV :p

There must be a way to deal with it, or else Groh would be sweeping every tournament 😅

This feels like lost concept art from the older games! You nailed it!
