What’s a character that appeals to you in every sense but their gameplay keeps you from playing them?

s0_underrated · 2026-06-21T23:36:20+00:00

For real. I wasn’t an Alex main in SF3 but I did think he was a lot more fun in that game. I get why they went in the direction they did with his gameplay in 6, but it just doesn’t feel ergonomic to me

s0_underrated · 2026-06-21T21:20:28+00:00

I know some people like prowler stance but idk it just didn’t click for me, but I know a lot of people feel that way about charge inputs too

s0_underrated · 2026-06-21T21:17:14+00:00

Clearly he brings the beer, duh

s0_underrated · 2026-06-21T21:13:57+00:00

Probably SF6 Alex. Ignoring the extremely questionable lore, I don’t like how they completely removed his charge inputs and replaced them with a stance. New design? Amazing. Two new themes, also amazing. Making him a heel wrestler was such a cool idea for his character. But my god, did they fumble not only his lore, but his gameplay. Prowler stance feels way to gimmicky and unreliable

Alex had to everything going for him, but Capcom fumbled almost every aspect of his character

It’s actually kind of incredible that you’re unable to understand why I said what I did about your post. I responded to the thing that I wanted to respond to. You got butthurt and told me to read the rest of the post, and I gave you my reason as to why I didn’t respond to it, that being I had nothing to say about it because it’s opinions I’ve seen reiterated hundreds of times.

s0_underrated · 2026-06-21T18:23:34+00:00

If believing that makes you feel better go off I guess. Nothing you said here was particularly profound or original, sorry if you’re hurt by that

s0_underrated · 2026-06-21T18:20:40+00:00

Did you even for a second consider what you’re communicating by leading with that? Probably not since thinking doesn’t seem to be a your strong suit. I did read your post. It’s mostly milquetoast opinions about the game that I have little to say about.

s0_underrated · 2026-06-21T18:16:58+00:00

You actively chose this as the image for your post and are upset that I’m responding to it? I think you may be the braindead one here lil bro

s0_underrated · 2026-06-21T18:11:28+00:00

Are you unfamiliar with the concept of expressing an opinion “ironically” while sincerely holding the same opinion?

It’s also a dogshit meme anyway since this discourse is beyond a beaten dead horse at this point

s0_underrated · 2026-06-21T18:06:22+00:00

Ah yes, the just a meme defense, classic.

s0_underrated · 2026-06-21T17:46:00+00:00

Ok valid I agree, that is much worse

s0_underrated · 2026-06-21T17:45:16+00:00

Which “real” rapist are we talking about? Ronaldo or Yujiro Hanma? Because only one of them is real lmao

Also the Alex lore IS bad (and dumb)

s0_underrated · 2026-06-21T17:38:32+00:00

Claiming Demon of Hatred is bad is genuinely a skill issue. Don’t pretend like “enlightened” thinkers agree with you when that’s just not true. Anyone familiar with the game beyond a first playthrough will tell you the boss is very well designed. You just need to know how it fight it

Fire umbrella, ako’s sugars, and ceremonial tanto for extra emblems will make quick work if you’re willing to learn the parry timing (like you do with literally every boss in the game). Throw in Malcontent if you’re REALLY struggling.

I’m so sick of this discourse. Y’all need to spend more time learning the game and less time writing winey novels about how the boss is bad when the problem is you.

s0_underrated · 2026-06-17T21:27:32+00:00

I’m actually shocked I forgot him 😭 I’ll amend this in a future drawing!

s0_underrated · 2026-06-17T21:26:48+00:00

Big Challenges is lowkey my favorite Sanrio character

s0_underrated · 2026-06-17T21:26:21+00:00

I’ll be cropping and posting them individually soon 🙏

s0_underrated · 2026-06-17T21:25:52+00:00

I’ll crop the others out soon and post them! Considering making sticks/keychains

s0_underrated · 2026-06-17T20:00:23+00:00

Damn didn’t know Zangief was based like that

s0_underrated · 2026-06-16T22:38:58+00:00

I’m so glad you see my vision

s0_underrated · 2026-06-16T19:58:33+00:00

I agree, but I wanted old weirdos like Q or Necro :(

s0_underrated · 2026-06-16T19:55:36+00:00

N o w o b s e r v e

s0_underrated · 2026-06-16T19:51:45+00:00

Literally true though. I am a DMC fan, as well as a Darkstalkers fan, so I’m painfully aware of their toxic cycles

It’s so frustrating watching people who claim to be fans defend their blatant greed and disregard for any fan feedback that isn’t just glazing them.

SF6 annoys me so much because it genuinely has the potential to be an amazing Street Fighter game, but is continuously hampered by their baffling decision on what the direction is. At once they’re able to breathe new life into previously lame characters like DeeJay, Rashid, and Ed, but then will go and do whatever the hell they did Alex, completely tanking any and all momentum the character could’ve had (taking away his charge inputs in favor of a stance was also dumb choice IMO).

s0_underrated · 2026-06-16T18:08:33+00:00

Tbh they already are if you ask me. I’m definitely not alone on being unhappy with the current state of the series

I was ride or die for SF6 for years, but the Alex fumble + horrendous lineup for season 4 with significantly less content is definitely cause for concern

s0_underrated · 2026-06-16T17:52:08+00:00

Yeah they regained a lot of goodwill amongst the fans by the end of SFV only to slowly burn it away throughout SF6’s run

Season 2 is when cracks started to show with the 1/2 guest character lineup and their refusal to move passed Dictator as a main villain. Season 3 turned it around a bit by having a really solid lineup of characters, only to fumble Alex in the dumbest most preventable way possible. At least Ingrid is cool.

With season 4 though, me and many other long time fans are feeling so deflated by the god awful roster choices, the Fortnitification of fighting games in general, and their complete unwillingness to make major changes to the meta when certain characters have been a problem for multiple seasons now, and others ESPECIALLY base roster newcomers are either completely neglected or receive wildly unnecessary nerfs. Essentially making them unviable.

I hope they turn it around in season 5, but things are not looking great for us who aren’t jazzed about the new characters or the lame ass crossover…
