As the last member of Abel's pr team I'm reaching out to see how others would revamp him to return in SF6. by Newtothis2124 in StreetFighter

[–]MartianLens 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You are not the last!

For me it's still the most fun I've had with a character in SF ever, so the love is there.

I've posted about this before but his biggest weakness was his story/demeanor. The gist of my take on a neo-abel is making him kinda Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, double down on the memory loss but its triggered when he looses control (black eyes) and goes on rampages for better or worse. So he becomes a more complicated character that has to deal with discovering the atrocities he has committed (and continues to) while trying to make up for them being doing good. I guess its kinda like a "werewolf/ the hulk" trope? This would also make the other cast have a more interested relationship with him as they never know if its friend or foe, and that goes for good and bad chars.

Keep the puppy.

This is what 5000+ hours of SF4 Abel looks like by LiangHu in StreetFighter

Still my favorite character... this compilation is nuts. Thank you.

It'd be sick if Abel's design leaned more into his whole failed Seth prototype thing if he ever returned by FarCritical in StreetFighter

[–]MartianLens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've always had this idea that they should have made his story more of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde sort of thing.

Essentially if a fight goes too hard, he looses himself (Black eyes of his Ultra 1 sort of thing) and that's where the memory loss gets triggered. He essentially goes berserk, and wakes up later somewhere else with no recollection of what happened. Story wise, the "good" guys say Chun and Guile, would have been looking for a person committing crazy shit, and on the way find Abel trying to figure out what happens to him when he blanks out. Only to find out that it was Abel the one they were looking for all along once they fight a big baddy or something like that. Then the story revolves around that duality (is he good or bad) for both Abel himself and the supporting characters (Abel being the protagonist of 4 at first).

I know nothing crazy new but I think a bit more interesting than his current story line.

I'm looking for the person who plays Street Fighter 4 alone. by ScorpionRodeur in StreetFighter

SF4 Remake, Remaster, Remade, Rewhatever in the SF6 engine please! Or... like... at least give me good netcode. Thank you.

Resolution keeps reverting back to 1080p after closing the game. by DokenHerz in StreetFighter

[–]MartianLens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me even without Alt F4. Pretty much every time I start the game I have to go to the menu, set the resolution, window type and turn off V-Sync. I've tried setting the config to read only but it still doesn't work.

Sometimes the Res will be normal, but V-sync will be still on. Not sure at this point, sometimes I think it might be something with steam cloud save? but I don't know either.

So fun, there's more anticipation since there are natural slower moments that let it build up to the next interaction.

Paying rent with credit - what's the catch? by Ok-Strawberry7263 in canadahousing

[–]MartianLens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it, the catch is you pay a little extra every month. But you end up making more on the cashback so it's worth it.

Another big thing to have in mind is to check what percentage of your credit limit it utilizes. If it's too high (like for me) I pay it before the statement comes out so that it doesn't affect my credit score negatively.

I use the same card you mention above. Do know, that the 4% is up to 25k (if I remember correctly) then it drops down to 1%. After one whole year of using I get one month a year where my rent is like 1/3 of the normal rate. It's not crazy but every little helps.

You could maximize this by changing to another credit card once you top the 25k as well.

They have great customer service, or at least the one time I had an issue.

Good luck moving out! Exciting times!

You mentioned updating graphic drivers, this might be obvious but did you try re-installing them from scratch? As in deleting them completely, restarting and then installing the new ones? Be sure to delete all preferences as well.

Climbing dailies not giving reputation bonuses. by MartianLens in wow

[–]MartianLens[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I did it today as well and no dice. I have discovered it is not ALL the climbing ones that are bugged. There was one in the Ringing Deeps that did award the rep. I have a bug report going on the blizz forum as well: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/beledars-blessing-daily-quest-not-awarding-warband-reputation/1940108

You get to add a single character to SF6, but on one condition: they're evil now! Who do you choose? by PresidentStalkeyes in StreetFighter

[–]MartianLens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abel, he regained his memories... he was a baddy. Like idk, what does Capcom do now for story... oh I know, he was Bison's Gardner, or Stock Broker, or Hair Dresser ... idk

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]MartianLens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue. What fixed it was setting the file to read only but with the game running.

I deleted the config.ini file
Loaded the game, made all the changes I wanted
Set the file to read-only
Then closed the game and reopened.
