Rolento and Mika were deconfirmed but Sodom hasn't been but he's so unlikely anyway.

Ah I see.

There were Twitters and stuff from Ono saying the "Battle Director" didn't like Mika so she wouldn't be in.

Not sure where I read the Rolento thing but I know I read it about the same time as the Mika deconfirmation..

Are there any alpha characters left besides sodom? Dunno if I could see all the characters being from third strike.

Birdie, Charlie, Karin, Sodom, Mika and Rolento I think are all that's left from Alpha.

Forgot about Birdie and Karin.

God I hope Birdie isn't one of them. Is Karin a sakura clone or what? How does she play?

I don't know how she plays, that's probably something Kalyx could answer but I know she's not a Sakura clone. Birdie wouldn't be so bad, would he?

Karin isn't a Sakura clone, she's not a shoto of any sort. She uses counters and physical strikes as specials, no chi attacks. I loved her.

They could throw us a curveball and give us a couple rival schools characters.

I'm just hoping for Alex, tbh.

I have Alpha 2 on PSN. Is she in that?

Alpha 3.

I wonder what a Create-A-Fighter would be like in SSFIV. Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat have done it, why hasn't Street Fighter? If anyone could pull it off right, it's Capcom.

The closest they came was the spirte colour editor in CvS2 which I never really used.

It could be pretty simple yet indepth as well. We select a body type, alter it slightly and apply hair, clothing, tattoos, scars or whatever else.

Then assign moves and inputs from a selection. Maybe allowing slight modifications such as changing the angle of a hadouken so it gentley curves upwards or making a Spiral Arrow that went totally vertical.

Utras would be cool to mix and match, creating whole new ones. For example, starting with Abels U1 which ends not with the throw but with the last kick from Guiles U1 that sends you into the air, finishing up with the electricution from Vipers U2. If they went "all out" they could have some original pieces for us to use.

Then we just select what grunts/screams best suits the character (no actual speech) and, if we wish, type up a victory quote for each opponent for wins in Arcade mode/Versus.

It'll never happen but I would have really liked to have seen it and I'd have gotten alot of use out of it.

Just a random little idea of mine.

I have an idea of how create-a-fighter could work in a 2D engine, but I rather not share that [here]. You're on the money, but my concept factors in priorities move that cross-matches with a ratio system that would take HP into consideration.

This sort of thing would need to be done in a whole new fighter, though. SSF4 is much too restrictive.

There was a game called Fighter Maker on the PS2 that allowed someone to create their own fighting game with programmable moves but it was in 3D and not 2D style and perspective.

Same company also ended up creating RPG Maker but neither game was that great to begin with.

I spent 24hrs in RPG Maker 2 making 15mins of gameplay.

Epic, detailed gameplay.

Never messed with Fighter Maker for a long enough time, but the options were weak from what I explored. The concept was too much for the console. They should have tried again.

I had the first RPG maker for the PS1 imported. I enjoyed it but never actually made any complete games. I did try to make my own primitive Pacman game using the tools.

I heard of Fighter Maker and always wanted to try it but never got it.

Whatever happened to these creative games? I loved them. Music 2000, RPG maker, Fighter Maker etc.

It's all Space Marines and WW2 these days.

Or space marines in WW2 if you're playing Darkest of Days.

Yeah, wish those games would come back around. Just think of them being combined with the current 'create-share-play' trend.

I am thinking of getting blazblue, along with my sticks. Anyone here still play that?

Khuntry maybe. Never got a chance to scoop it up. Continuum Shift is great, though.

Still need to get CS. Fucking missing out here.

Khuntry would annihilate me tho. That's not fun.

Funky, I demand you buy CS, because that's what I am getting.

He annihilates me, but that's how I'm able to annihilate others.

Blazblue is his shit.

God damn...

My god that Juni player...

Totally psyched out that Ryu at the end.

Oh hell yes. I've actually been using Adon and Ibuki a little more often, and I want to start learning Cody, so this is a great pack for me.

Anyone up for playing 2niiiiiiiite

Probly like 2 hours

meeeeeeeeeee

Alvarado, why the fuck did you leave so quick.

Yeah, you were doing pretty good.

Ugh. Wanted revenge for that Ryu vs Chun li match. Totally choked there.

NOT MY BEST WORK, LADS

At least Juri was beasting it.

The SF2 series is easily my least favorite SF series. Can't stand people saying "This is true SF" and shit like that. Ugh.

Mad I didn't see this last night. Still haven't played online with the new stick. Haven't had much time to play with it at all, really.

Was tired, just wanted to get a couple games in. don't worry, I have no doubts you can whoop my ass in that game nine out of ten times.
