SFV actually just got a price drop to £29.85 on the online store I use, it's a bad sign if its already getting a price drop from £39.86

No better than a gamefqs troll

I don't really see how he's a troll since this horrible level of sales means the series itself is in massive jeopardy due to Capcom's high level brand of idiocy.
News like this should be known even to Street Fighter fans because it ultimately does effect future support as well as possibly the end of Street Fighter as a series...for a long while.

Not gonna lie, people on Gamefaqs are the worst. Petty S.O.B.s...

Anyway, getting back on topic: VFrames app got a new update on Android and iOS. The iOS version got the same updates as Android, but the Android version now has a character comparison mode. Great for understanding how matchups work.

I'm not really a fan of the fact you need an iOS or Android for something Capcom should have included in their freaking game from the word go. Seriously not even a frame viewer ingame?

I'm always happy to see Capcom crash and burn.

They destroy all their big franchises, and don't even promote their new interesting properties

Street fighter just rehashes

Resident Evil can't settle on what it wants to be, which is sad because past games already perfected both formulas. Outbreak perfected the survival horror formula, and ORC perfected the action horror formula. And even with supposed return to roots Revelations (just means constant backtracking instead of moving forward like 456 and Orc), they fuck up by designing it around co-op, but only co-op with AI, not other players.

Then actually new interesting properties like Remember Me and Asura's Wrath, they don't even advertise or promote.


And street fighter was always over hyped to begin with, on top of screwing everyone over just to be out for Evo or whatever? Glad to see it failing.

Sadly gotta agree with Argentus here...and the messed up part is that I don't want SF as a series to die, just for other games to get some well-deserved spotlight away from the Capcom fighting game wankfest.
But the FGC will obviously move on...

Woah...guys look! Someone made a no stocking mod of Karin's default:

EDIT: Actually realized she may not be wearing anything underneath at all, I saw an uncovered butt cheek....:oops:

She'll be added as DLC right? If enough returning fighters are added, I'll buy the game, but for now it's just window shopping for me. I can't wait to eventually get it, I'll show people online that a Kanzuki is NEVER held back, and I'll TOTALLY make it look cool! Bet you can't guess which two characters I'm referring too. ;-)

I think Sakura's a lock for season 2. On the topic of mods, very happy with all the love Mika is getting. Although I'm pretty sure one of them is making my game lag. I can hear the GPU struggling to push dem booty pixels

Did you make her butt BIGGER??

Looks like it (and the boobs). Because of that the edgy low polygon model of her butt cheeks are also more visible, which I never noticed before. XD
Ah, I just noticed the boob increase XD. I couldn't tell about the butt at first, it was already big to begin with so I thought in was seeing things

Karin seems pointless without sakura

The whole "rivalry" at this time seems pointless. SFV is making her out to be one of the strongest character in the series. her presence alone caused Oro to take notice and when you consider that he fought her grandfather and that she's regarded as one of the strongest fighters to ever exsist in her family then you can start to get an idea of how strong she really is.

True. It's almost as if Capcom is deliberately keeping those two lovers apart as playable characters.

Either that, or they have no idea what to do with Sakura since they (still) don't have the balls to make her the new main protagonist.

Hilariously enough...all they are really doing is putting Karin on SAKURA'S level.

Remember, Sakura has been stated to have some insane potential even for someone like her(I believe Capcom pretty much went with the fact that when she was training with Dan, he used a Gadouken and when she went up to bat, she used a near fully powered HADOUKEN on her first try). And pretty much she has absolutely no formal training whatsoever yet is ridiculously skilled for someone like her.

It actually makes sense after awhile that they would beef the fuck out of Karin to keep the rivalry alive(since it's basically the female Ken vs. Ryu...and Ken is actually more talented than Ryu in canon too, Ryu just has better work ethic and can keep up).

One would count on Sakura making a subtle return at some point much later after the first series of DLC characters are done for this time. Sakura also made a short appearance in Karin's own story line, which further supports and emphasizes both points above my post.
I like how a lot of noteworthy characters continue popping up here and there. Sort of reminds me how Warner Bros. did with Tiny Toons or Animaniacs where characters show up from time to time.

yes, but where as Sakura is talented but doesn't train Karin is both. her work ethic far outclasses Ryu's even, considering she does nothing but fight opponents constantly.

Is that something that happened in V? Because she was always the unnoticed rival who lost to Sakura regularly, before. At EVERYTHING.

I know, just like Ken.

Retcons my boy Argentus...Retcons.
