Saw a post that was a tweet of some guy making the claim that scrubs are going to dominate in this game. I mean, I have been waiting for my time to shine.

Any time a fighting game series adds easy controls, someone says that.
It literally never happens. |

Simple Controls can't teach fundamentals.

I'm just imagining players like Justin Wong or Daigo at EVO being all, "Oh, shit, the controls are EASIER?!?! I am so FUCKED!!!!"

The EO (easy option) controls for Capcom vs. SNK 2 were the only reason why I was able to beat and unlock Shin Akuma and Ultimate Regal on the Gamecube.
Forgot which of the two were the hardest but even with EO controls both were still a big hassle to beat even on easy or normal difficulty. |

Played some guy who was clearly using easy controls.
Playing a fighting game online for the first time in three years, without any time to practice and see how juri plays, while using a stick for the first time, and all that with a disabilty in my dominant hand. Still went 5-1 with classic controls. |

Jamie is an absolute blast to play. Didn't get 10 seconds into training before someone challenged me. Lost the first match pretty quick, but figured him out enough to beat my opponent the next few matches.
He basically gets more options and stronger attacks the drunker he gets. So fun. Tried kimberly but wasn't really feeling her. I wish they would have had a proper training mode for this but I'm guessing they wanted as many people as possible in the battle hub for stress testing. Still getting used to the arcade stick. Gonna take time. |

This is a very well made fighting game with very honest gameplay. The focus on neutral reminds me of SFxT, and I do well in games where good neutral gameplay rewards you.
Sad Cammy isn't playable but Ken is treating me well. |

Chun-Li certainly feels like Chun-Li. Has some weird new stance though. Gotta experiment with it more to get a better handle on its usefulness.
Can't wait to really dive in to this game. Feels sooooo good even with my shitty awkward stick gameplay. |

We've all wanted to experiment with Chun-Li....
I've never been comfortable with arcade sticks, but I think I'm making the right call getting this for a Playstation as opposed to the Xbox. The controller feels better for fighting games, I think. Well, maybe just for Street Fighter because I had no problems with Mortal Kombat 9 or Mortal Kombat X on the Xbox consoles. |

Xbox has the best controller for shooters imo, but dualshock always felt better for fighting games.
A large portion of my time playing Tekken was at the arcade, so I feel very at home playing it with a stick. 2d fighters are a completely different beast and I'm going to be flailing about for a while until I get the muscle memory. |

I'm happy that evidently there will be cross generational play so you can guys can rest assured that you'll be able to rack up some easy wins against me.

This was a pretty good sell job for me. I'm still not 100% sold on the World Tour part. At the least I don't think I'll bother sitting down and putting in the time to make an avatar because I can't be bothered at this stage of my life.

I mean, you can just pick a template and go if you don't want to bother with every little detail.
I didn't care about world tour at first, but the more I see the more fun it looks. All the alternate costumes are unlocked trhough so I'm going to do it either way. |

I think I would to go all the way back to the days of playing Raw vs. SmackDown! or what not to be at a time when I sat my ass down and dedicated a shit ton of time to creation. It just doesn't feel justified in some games where it's a feature. Hell, I didn't have an Xbox Live avatar for a good while.

Yeah the new patch speeding up the process for unlocking alts is very good but still insane at him needing 18 hours just to unlock 1 alt because he played his first playthrough normally and wasn't purposely fishing for alt unlocks.
Like Smash Bros had some very grindy requirements to unlock certain people from Brawl and onwards but they had the courtesy of giving multiple options to do so that were not as grindy without needing a patch to help out. |

Something like alternate outfits really shouldn't be so much of a hassle. I do appreciate games that at least give a preview of what it is before you make the decision to go for the grind or open your wallet.

Apparently there are some misconceptions on getting the outfits. While it does take a lot of work to gain mastery, you only need to max out bonds to get the outfits, which is a much faster process.
