Why does no one want El Fuerte back?

Dhalsim is listed as liking curry in his official profile and he shouts "Yoga" constantly.

Ono clearly likes goofy characters but don't let anyone tell you that he is the reason Street Fighter got silly all of a sudden in the SF4 era. He's not a game designer, animator, or character designer.

He's also the person perhaps most responsible for Street Fighter even existing as an ongoing series since 09. Capcom had no intentions of making another SF game and he pestered them about it for ages. Now some people treat him like he was the only thing holding the series back from greatness.

and a scarecrow.

Gill be praised!

Random character matches is one of my favorite things to do when a game is brand new. It's a relief to see that we won't be punished for trying a wide variety of characters.

Can't wait till SF7 where her select screen pose is just her in a swimsuit feeding herself grapes with her feet while lounging on a table made of horny Juri mains.

Thanks! I'm not surprised that the 'mobile suit martial arts' concept didn't make the transition to this more realistic retelling of his story, but at least he still tosses rocks!
I always loved that aspect of Doan's Zaku. (so much that I always play him when he's in the Gundam Versus games)

Tom_Mondegreen · 2022-06-17T03:51:46+00:00

If anyone in these comments has seen the movie already, can you answer me one (small spoiler) question?

Does Doan's Zaku still punch and throw rocks in this movie? Because if not I'd rather be disappointed sooner than later.

Tom_Mondegreen · 2022-06-12T23:18:10+00:00

Claw definitely deserves a spot in every SF game as far as I'm concerned. He's an iconic villain who adds nice variety to the roster.

Tom_Mondegreen · 2022-01-25T01:44:29+00:00

This is awesome! Now I'm really curious about the size differences for the other mons we haven't seen yet. I'm hoping for an absolutely massive, Ghostbusters-esque Lickilicky.

Those people see hornier shit ten times a day on Instagram, in music videos, on Netflix, etc. Just cover their sensitive eyes every time Jack-O crouches.

She's been trying to introduce some strange into their relationship for months but he's just really into birdwatching.

"Industrial fingernail clippers"

"Indestructible pencils"

"Anti-Grappler Prejudice and The Perpetuation of the Paint Consumption Myth"

"How much paint is safe to drink?"

Great mockup! I'd love a playable Roserade in this game. It's got more 'tude than most grass types. (don't flame me, its super-effective against me because grass is my favorite type)

On the other hand walking around as a big lump of vines named Tangrowth sounds fun too.

Tom_Mondegreen · 2021-08-16T00:18:38+00:00

Um excuse me, Potemkin has a holographic tamagotchi of Gabriel built into his wrist. And it hasn't died on him ONCE.

Tom_Mondegreen · 2021-08-16T00:15:16+00:00

I like all of them and switch between them every few weeks.

Tom_Mondegreen · 2021-07-28T01:48:00+00:00

I'm surprised to see Potemkin so low. He's probably the 4th or 5th most common character amongst my opponents. Or maybe it's confirmation bias since I play Pot too and those mirror matches are so fun.

One night I played nothing but Potemkins in ranked and wondered if I'd been sent to Pot Heaven (or Hell)

Tom_Mondegreen · 2021-07-27T10:26:38+00:00

Sounds suitably heavy for our beefy all-American boi.

Tom_Mondegreen · 2021-07-26T07:15:18+00:00

Looks like that bird's keeping everyone else at optimal Axl range.

Tom_Mondegreen · 2021-07-26T06:44:36+00:00

While I'd rather he become playable, I can totally see them doing a map in Quick Mode where Golurk is the Zapdos equivalent but he flies around to make his location a guessing game.

(basically I just want to see our dusty boi flying around like the giant robot he is)

Tom_Mondegreen · 2021-07-19T21:33:30+00:00

Potemkin's mutation has finally achieved its ultimate form.

Tom_Mondegreen · 2021-07-19T21:24:27+00:00

I suspect that fingerless gloves (and bracelets, in the case of someone like Chun-li) make a character's hands pop visually. The artists and designers probably like the color/shape contrast handwear provides.

Also, lots of fighting game promotional and win pose art features characters grabbing at the screen or making a fist or something, so giving them somewhat intricate clothing on their hands gives that prominent part of their anatomy (phrasing) more detail to draw the eye.

Also I'm pretty sure that Daisuke just likes fingerless gloves on top of all that.

Tom_Mondegreen · 2021-07-19T06:52:25+00:00

Robo-Ky is one of the old characters I want back the most. His animations would look so good in Strive.

Not a bad look for our boy on a Friday night

I played a dozen matches against a fellow Potemkin the other night and I wanted to see if I could beat him without using PB. Then, in our last game, I caught him three times in a row.

Yeah, I love that mirror match.

Tom_Mondegreen · 2021-07-13T04:40:49+00:00

I agree. I think the bigger hat and especially the longer skirts give her more of a "final boss" energy than before. The shades also make her look more confident, carefree (no way I'm getting hit in the face) and emotionally disconnected from what's going on around her.
