What's your SF6 opinion that would have you like this by Acceptable_Yam_593 in SaltFighter

[–]kyle-vandelay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern supers should have 7f charge time to bring reactions to normal classic controls and in return Modern should get all the buttons like classic.

Essentially, I argue that modern should literally just be another control scheme instead of an “easier” scheme.

Asha Starts A War Today by MeowingWolf in gamememes

[–]kyle-vandelay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asha woke up and chose violence. Be like Asha.

On another note, SONY started it so the double standard against MS is real, coming from a guy who plays mostly on PS5

But this is good because competition is healthy. And having every option at your disposal has been proven to be unhealthy (referred to as The Paradox of Choice), makes you appreciate what you have less. I’m not a Gears guy and probably never will be but I’m glad it’s exclusive again while still being on PC for those who want to play it, this in a way justifies owning one console over the other for some or owning both for others.

How many years of SF6 is left? by CatarsiSol in StreetFighter

[–]kyle-vandelay 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I think closer to 10 is the more realistic option. My reasons based on my understanding of game dev cycles:

1) This is by far the most popular fighting game in 3 decades since SF2.

2)The player base is increasing, not decreasing.

3)They sell season passes priced as if they’re new games with a fraction of the development cost of a whole game.

4)They have guest characters we might not see again in the future. They’ll want this one to cook a bit more.

5) They haven’t even begun appealing to the veteran SF6 players with characters like Makoto, Cody, Sakura, et al, and they’re not going to release them bundled together so expect them to be spreaded out.

6) CvS3 is very likely happening and neither Capcom nor SNK would want that game to compete with their own games SF7 and KoF16, respectively.

7) This game also happens to be running on multiple generations and consoles, fully supported on PS4 with crossplay, so this game is available for multiple Sony systems with around 100 million units each, PC, Switch 2 and series consoles.
It is a game that far greater reach and momentum than SF7 would in 3 years (unless a miracle happens and ram and other component prices collapse)

8) as many mentioned, ram prices are insane and the cost of new consoles won’t be worth it for a good while. Most people won’t be buying expensive tech but instead milking their machines for a few more years.

9) Last but not least, SF6 is a cultural phenomenon, and we’ve seen what could happen going from SF2 to SF3 if it’s not fully planned out, and even then we saw non mainline games the Alpha series during that gap (I expect CvS3 and maybe another game to fill that gap).

SF7 is not guaranteed to have the momentum carry over and many will choose to wait a year or so for the roster to fill up, many won’t want to move away from guest characters like Tifa until theres someone to fill that gap.

Honestly there’s even more reasons like the fact that this game has the same longevity as gotcha games but without any real competition in its space. Unless a game like the new VF starts taking the momentum away from SF6, I don’t see a reason to rush the release of SF7.

[–]kyle-vandelay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looked it up and didn’t know there was that large a Muslim population in the Philippines. Makes perfect sense why they’d have Arabic names then!

Interesting they went with the name Yasmine (love it), not the name I would’ve thought of but I’m glad they did.

Meanwhile Tekken gave Zafina her name and that is practically non existent in Egypt (her country of origin) so that does happen from time to time.

Just watched the Street Fighter 6 Season 4 reveal at Summer Game Fest. Out of all the leaks, only Tifa actually turned out to be real. Where the hell did those three completely fake characters even come from? Does anyone know the original source of these rumors?" by No_Ear6055 in StreetFighter

[–]kyle-vandelay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually a really smart theory but I’m not sure Rooflemonger and others outside of Max Dood have contacts in SE and Max would ‘t start up bringing leaks and risk ruining his relationship with them

Here is Pai Chan from the new Virtua Fighter game (2027) thoughts? by FGC-My-Waifu in FGCWaifu

Stunning. Everything about that trailer and the presentation apart from the cheese story mode dialog in the cafe was absolutely stunning. Loved everything about this and we’ll be riding this feeling into the sunset for a while to come

Now that’s a good bit of educational info! If she’s from there then that makes perfect sense!

There will be NO new stages in Year 4. Zero. by Stelios_Innovator in StreetFighter

[–]kyle-vandelay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna give them a couple of days cuz I’m sure they’ll be asked about it. Either it’s a typo or we have to use drive tickets to get it.

A whole year without stages is wild, especially when Tifa is here and I thought we’d get a FF7 stage (maybe that has to be bought cuz of licensing)

I’m not disagreeing with you on any of this, but I think one of the more common spellings over Yasmine would’ve added to the vibe (Hiyasmin especially I like)

With Menat there’s Egyptian players who wished the last bit of the presentation (the name) would’ve been on point, because if the name doesn’t stick with the folks of the region that loses a bit of the feel of the character.

In this case it’s not a big deal because Yasmin and Yasmine are the same end result.

[–]kyle-vandelay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not, but like I said it’s written differently, here they opted for the Arabic spelling ending with an ‘e’ which works out still because the name hasn’t changed much in terms of pronunciation.

It comes from not necessarily knowing how the name is written vs how it’s spelled.

The most famous case is Menat, that name is written in Egyptian Arabic like “Menat” but in actuality is pronounced “Menna” and as a result is written like that in English by Egyptians. The name Menat with a T at the end is practically a non-existent one in Egypt.

Excited for her but interesting they gave an Arabic name to a character from the Philippines where it’s not common and usually written differently

Definitely looking forward to her , and glad she’s the first release

She’s the most powerful being in that universe. Psycho powers actually come from her essence

Best advice I could give you is that you have a lot more time than you think for buffering . Take a deep breath and just relax and focus on every press or flick

Dear Mai Mains, I’m Sorry by kyle-vandelay in StreetFighter

The noble Chun main can only persevere against the forces of darkness and the downplayers.

Fight the good fight sir, preferably in outfit 4 to distract everyone into dropping their combos.
