SFV F.A.N.G. Reveal Trailer

[VenomX-90]

That Kung-Fu Hustle...

 

[Jaku2011]

This and Dhalsim are the most meh reveals, at least The other new guys look cool.

vega used to be defensive back when he was a charge character, now he is a GO FUCKING NUTS WITH ALL YOUR POWERFUL SAFE MOVES since he o longer requires charges, just the mastery of the DP motion, which isnt too hard to master

Totally forgot about animeeeee. Happens though with my current medical issues ha.

Vega is way more offensive now because he has few to none charge inputs and even has a command grab without claw.

Have any footage handy? Preferably with someone decent playing someone decent. I just figured even with motions he would still play the patient poking game Vega's known for. I would hate to see a character with Vega's normals and specials be all in my face. Here's to hoping that's just day -100 shenanigans.

DLC characters are goin to run 600 Zenny(Fight Money) each or $5 a pop.....yea ill save my real cash because it looks like Season Pass II will probaly include Akuma

Source?

well, the good news is that whatever the yield is, you get it by playing the game, not performing some mindless side task like Mobile. So even if you're completely unwilling to pay, you'll EVENTUALLY unlock the character. The bad news is, there are LOTS of tactics left to making paying more enticing, like putting a cap on daily / weekly earnings.

Call me an optimist but I don't see Capcom making it too difficult to get everything using in game money. This game isn't a complete F2P and if they're really trying to push for more awareness I doubt they'd invoke the backlash of everyone bashing their cash shop. I think character's will be bought with a 1-2 months of consistent play whether you win or lose. Colors within 2-3 weeks. Then title cards and other profile stuff are priced at most a week of play. Something like that.

I don't expect earning limits, crazy high prices, not enough ways to earn (They did say they'd include challenges and such too), whatever other BS Mobile games pull. At worst there will be cash amounts that equal to a character or 10 characters for some $20, $40, $60 fee. Maybe just an extended amount of time to be able to buy characters. At worst 4 months of play. I really don't see Capcom and Sony fucking this up.

This and Dhalsim are the most meh reveals, at least The other new guys look cool.

WHAT! Dhalsim reveal was hype! His costume is well done imo and flame carpet plus keeping his overall feel looking the same but hopefully better. IDK maybe I'm biased cause I always wanted to see Dhalsim do better in tournaments.

Lol all I can see is "lesser version of Jason but likely stronger game tools". Whak character, whak ass movie, whak real life human being. Leatherface is like the worst DLC choice in fighting game history!

This new Fang guy on the other hand, I'm not "omg insane" hype, but I think he looks unique enough on the "drunk master" style of fighting. And he's an actual new character. I really, really hate guest, especially overlapping guest lol.

Calling him a lesser version of Jason is like calling Scorpion a lesser version of Ryu.

Two completely different characters that happen to be the main guys of entertainment in the same genre. The original TCM is objectively a great slasher, just like Friday the 13th(TCM is actually rated higher)and Elm Street. Sure those movies are cheesy as hell today(just like the original MK games) but they were good at what they wanted to be at their time, which is why they're iconic and keep being remade and renewed.

The only bad choice when it comes to fighting game characters are ones with little to no potential for fun gameplay, which the entire point of video games. DLC has no ties to story so canonicity means dick all, might as well go for something crazy with a high chance of fun. Freak-strength and a big ass chainsaw is more than enough to come up with something extremely fun to play.

Sometimes that potential is reached(like with Freddy, and Predator) sometimes it doesn't quite get all the way there(like Jason in multiple aspects) but that's the same coin flip you get with any characters guest or not.

 

[VenomX-90]

Second in command? hold he fuck on, so why in the fuck Vega or Balrog didnt take the role? those OG's should have taken it. This guy is a noob to them.

 

[Gamer68]

I wonder what "F.A.N.G" stands for exactly.

 

[BiPolarExxpress]

Lol he's right up my alley.

 

[Son ov Timett]

I wonder what "F.A.N.G" stands for exactly.

Flamboyantly Anorexic Ninjitsu Gangnam?

 

[RM_NINfan101]

Canonically Balrog ran Shadaloo into the ground after Bison's "apparent" death in SFA3. Also, Vega is simply an assassin. Nothing more, nothing less.

My guess is, this dude rose through the ranks as some type of Shadaloo scientist over the years and thus replaced Sagat as his place in the "Four Heavenly Kings".

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

It's Dampierre's Chinese cousin.

I like his new look, but Dhalsim himself is just such a whatever character to me.

Mind linking that?

I like his new look, but Dhalsim himself is just such a whatever character to me.

That's where we differ. I think he has a very interesting moveset. Stretchy limbs, teleports and the speed and different angles of his projectiles. Even his dash is "dhalsim specific". I just really liked the character, especially when played well.

 

[scrubbyCK]

i think he looks awesome, really stands out from the cast so far.

 

[EMPEROR PRYCE]

This character was like wtf to me at first. Then I read about what he's all about with his v skill and v trigger and now I'm very interested.

[NotMephisto]

I love the fact that he acknowledges the timer in a fighting game. I find that so interesting

Thanks! Didn't see it was an updated story. Was looking for a brand new article. I came across the PSN listing for the season pass though. A couple hundred zenny is definitely doable in a week. If they did 10 Zenny a win (which I think it will be higher than that) + challenges + leveling your character + other modes. Committed fans will probably be able to afford all 6 characters before the first one comes out.

That's how they get ya. Hopefully Leatherface does the same thing. Hoping for 2/3 actually interesting variations. Not just more "brawler in your face chipping you scary monster brute" and hopefully less gimmicky stuff than Jason.

 

[Perdition]

Man, Fang looks too damn cool...there is no way I am not buying this game now. I will be incredibly free since this will be the first SF game I play serious, but I am buying this to play Fang.

Zenny is the premium currency, fight money is the free currency. Btw, if it was 600 fight money and you get 10 per win + challenges + levels, that would be ridiculously easy. It would be easier than unlocking things in the Krypt lol.

 

[Rice]

I would murder to have Fang in Kombat Pack 2 instead of Poopface.

 

[THTB]

Couldn't be more awful lol
Not surprised about people liking this guy... I mean, some people like Bo Rai Cho too.

You say that as if BO RAI CHO is a bad character.

I like Fang. I think he looks goofy in a cool way, and I think the poison mechanic, and the direction they seem to be headed with him, will give him a neat gameplay design.

 

[Error404]

So Vegas butt buddy replaces Sagat? Lame.

Bo Rai Cho is a horrible character. Almost all of the 3d characters have a bigger fan base.
