Street Fighter V

That doesn't seem possible with the stuff that Shadoloo and the Mishama Zaibatsu have been up to.

I mean, Jin started a world war. That would have a pretty huge effect on the Streetfighter world.

And as of Street Fighter V, Bison is about to block out the sun. Really high stakes don't you think?

Its what they said.

Oh well. Guess that's that.

That means Tekken X Street Fighter is Canon.

Well Akuma is a lead character in Tekken 7 after all.

And as of Street Fighter V, Bison is about to block out the sun. Really high stakes don't you think?

Mr. Burns did it first!

Brain from Pinky and the Brain also tried this. he tried to force a solar eclipse using a giant magnet. got pretty close to doing it, too.

The thing is Rob... is how long does Bison bloating out the sun last?

There is timeframe factor you have to take into account. I mean if SFV's story is little over a Week but is effectively wrapped up... there is no need for Tekken chaarcters to get involved.

granted stuff like Ogre's massive Martial Artists hunt -Thats why most of the characters in SF 2 weren't in SF 3-

though this is a recent development and unlike MK -which suddenly all fighters want MK's Story mode- Tekken and Capcom haven't streamlined their Story into one comprehensible narrative..

So what are the chances of a Tekken character crossing the same way Akuma did for 7?

I mean, it makes sense right?

Probably next round of DLC so next year

OGRE!

I'm game for a Tekken character being in Street Fighter V and on the whole being less terrible than they were in SFxT.

Uh, well, the high tiers of SFxT seem to be dominated by the Tekken characters aside from Chun...

I'll toss my 2c into the ring and say Bob should be the Tekken rep, since he's as mysteriously absent from his series' newest game as Akuma.

Anyway, provided the timeline hasn't had the years retconned by SF4, you could hand wave the apparant discrepancies in the shared verse by the games being in two different time periods - Tekken seems to be continually set in the present, where as in SF, the last time we were told of actual years the official timeline has under its belt, the games have beem set in the 80s-90s, SF3 probably being set in the early 2000s at best considering SF4 and SFV are both prequels to 3.

After seeing his story mode, I really think Necalli's a Pillar Man from JJBA all but in name. Right down to the absorption technique.

Capcom really screwed up with this launch. Free DLC or not, a game should NOT be released like this!

Remove the {}s, ' and spaces, and put [[ before Manga and ]] after Pillar Man.

Like so: [[ Manga / JojosBizarreAdventure<put a space here>Pillar Man ]]

now remove the unintentional spaces and you get Pillar Man.

I can't freaking do it for some reason! I never been good at text formatting anyways...

Pillar Man

The "Show Markup Help" button exist for a reason, man.

Anyway, haven't bought the game, and judging from your comments and the feedbacks from other sites... should I wait? Or buy it now so I can save up Fight Money for Alex and the others?

What the fucks up with the launch exactly?

Modern day gaming at its finest!

Why would you release a game like this? Free DLC or not a game should be complete from the start!

Super Smash Bros, Guilty Gear, and Blaz Blue did it better, Capcom!! Get your act together!

You're not making any case about how the game is incomplete. I certainly have no idea functions or content you think it's missing.
It would appear not to be roster size, at least, since those three games you mentioned had smaller casts of playable characters in their initial releases.

No Arcade Mode, Crappy Online Mode, subpar "Story" Mode (Eghh, that art!), Grinding for content that should've been on the disk from the start! I could go on and on...

I love street fighter, but this isn't the right way for the series to go.

"Grinding for content that should've been on the disk from the start"

Believe it or not, but there are people - including me - who enjoy working for character and stage unlocks rather than having them at the start. I'm not sure why I enjoy unlockables.

That's not what bothers me. It's the fact that you have to grind on the DLC that annoys me.

Very well, I suppose. The lack of a straight-forward arcade mode is, frankly, bizarre, and I am absolutely not about to defend the art. It's really quite atrocious. And I can't vouch for the online mode through personal experience... Though, what I've seen of it, server and matchmaking issues aside (which are absolutely fair points of umbrage to have, unfortunately inevitable as they are for a new release this day and age, it seems), the online mode itself seems perfectly function? It facilitates playing the game online, which is all an online mode for a fighting game really need do.

I'll just say I disagree about the issue of playing the game to unlock stuff, though, including specifically the DLC content. That's kind of part of the contract you make with the game if you don't want to buy the DLC: You have to play it, optimally providing content for other players as their opponents, in order to justify that from the developer and producers side. That seems pretty reasonable to me.
