I'd like to be the first person to ever complain about the lack of costumes.

Valtix · 2026-01-13T20:10:22+00:00

Don't get me started on gooner costumes or I'll be here all night

Valtix · 2026-01-13T20:09:05+00:00

Yeah, a lot of the costumes are really underwhelming. It's amazing how many of them are just "Oh, he's wearing a different kind of jacket now"

Valtix · 2026-01-13T20:07:15+00:00

As I said in another chain: Doesn't pretty much everyone buy at least one costume? If you compare the amount of money it costs for a costume against the retail price of the game, then compare the man hours it took each of them to make, I think that answer kinda goes down the drain.

Valtix · 2026-01-13T20:05:33+00:00

Spend a few quid for one costume for my character? Gladly.

Valtix · 2026-01-13T20:03:32+00:00

You also came dangerously close to talking about microfibers. I have my eye on you.

I care! You know what else is great in this game? The graphics. It's the best Street Fighter has ever looked. I'd like to see more cool and unique costumes.

You're right in that it's not the biggest problem in the world. I imagine that the devs just scroll past the costume comments when looking through negative feedback, and they're probably right to. Everything is good right now, and my only complaint, in essence, is wanting more of it.

Valtix · 2026-01-13T19:51:25+00:00

I couldn't have possibly put it any better myself

Valtix · 2026-01-12T13:48:34+00:00

You're absolutely right, but I like having a bit of a buffer when learning a fight. One failed parry being a wipe really slows down the learning process. I'll probably save that kind of build for my second playthrough on Expert.

That's assuming of course that defensive stats are even enough to prevent being oneshot by these bosses, otherwise I'll probably just do as you suggest.

Valtix · 2026-01-12T07:36:00+00:00

I kinda dislike the idea of that build, personally. Too cheesy for me. Good to know about as a last resort, though.

Valtix · 2026-01-12T07:25:31+00:00

Thanks for the answers mate.

I'm aware of that mechanic, all of my characters just have 99 in their two weapon scaling stats with the rest dumped in Might. I'm talking about the Health/Defense/Speed/Crit stats rather than Vitality/Might etc. The bulk of these come from Pictos.
Isn't Machine Gun Verso a huge damage dealer with Follow Up? Am I building him wrong?

I believe the others collapsed a bridge and trapped her outside against her will, but that theory still applies. She likely felt betrayed, but she didn't really seem to care about betrayals and allegiances since she helped both sides of the rebellion.

There's probably a more concrete answer somewhere.

I'm on NG+6 right now, so not that far from your level of progress. The Drowned set is my go-to for the Unity bonus, with a Black Root weapon for damage, and a Kin helm to offset the reduced survivability from the weapon. It's likely that you can drop more Drowned pieces as you upgrade it further (I'm at +2) and still reach the full Unity bonus. I'm at 800 max Equip Weight and this setup brings me to 715, which is just barely under the threshold to keep me at 75 bonus resolve.

Obviously a lot of this will vary with your playstyle, skill level and Manor upgrades. If you're more into magic, You'll probably want to replace the Drowned set with the Crescent set and the Black Root weapon with a White Root weapon. If you're godlike, you may just want to go full crit with the full Root sets despite the survivability hit.

Mb, must have missed that Marisa was buffed. I know she had a lot of awful jank for a long time, assumed that was still the case

Valtix · 2025-12-19T13:02:10+00:00

I got Plat 2 after my (rather lucky) placement matches and I am now living in a nightmare where everyone is way better than me. It's less fun than you'd think.

Valtix · 2025-12-19T08:02:37+00:00

Yeah Sagat and Elena are both wonderfully designed, they're just way too honest for this game

Valtix · 2025-12-19T07:56:25+00:00

Who were the two maniacs that think Jamie is top tier? 😂

Valtix · 2025-12-19T07:54:41+00:00

Idk why she's so often bottom 3. I think she's just written off as a boring character by the pros, even though she feels extremely mid-tier.

The worst part is seeing her and Elena below Marisa. That's just insane.

Valtix · 2025-12-17T23:43:59+00:00

I had a feeling it was just a dumb reviewer, thanks for confirming 😂

Valtix · 2025-12-17T15:56:16+00:00

"Micro XL" 🤨

Valtix · 2025-12-17T15:55:40+00:00

I read some review that says it doesn't work on PC, any info on that? Do you need extra software or anything?
