The Weirdest Character in Street Fighter V

[@BigYellowSilly]

This vid was super fun to do and I'm really happy with how it turned out, but I just wanna have it out there that this vid DOES have unskippable ads enabled. It's not something I usually do so I'd feel better about saying it outright. Only the more edited vids like this and the RBY Pokemon vids will have them, so don't worry about them appearing on FGG. Sorry for the inconvenience, it's just something I'll only do on these vids to compensate for the fact they take longer to make, it really does help me out, college can be tricky.

The first time I ever played Street Fighter, it was when I ran across an Alpha 3 machine at a theme park. I was like 8 so going over the character select I saw Blanka and him being a big green monster man while everyone else was more or less normal made him seem like the coolest character to me. As I recall I even got out the electricity despite having absolutely no idea what I was doing. Not currently a Blanka player but that experience of mine makes me really appreciate fighting games for having the oddball designs. But that has little to do with anything other than the video intro haha On the actual video subject, I think these sort of gimmicks on non-playable story characters would be amazing for a robust 1 player campaign that actually teaches a player the game instead of just being a series of regular fights against CPUs.

[@Had0k3n2X]

6:14 This isnt the first time Capcom has done something like this in Street Fighter. For example in Hyper Street Fighter II if you choose "Super" You would get the New Challenger versions of those characters however this is NOT THE SAME as choosing an OLD Character in ST. To properly select the Old Super Turbo character you have to hold: Start while pressing LP on the "Super" category. What's different about New Challenger vs ST Old is that the New Challenger selected characters take 2 extra frames of hitstun unlike the ST Old characters.

[@Had0k3n2X]

ST Old characters also get other tools that New Challenger fighters don't like Boxer's cr.mp is not special cancellable etc.

[@tricksyfroggy]

8:50 i think the cause of the 2 extra frames of hitstun is most likely an animation discrepancy. even if it doesn't affect gameplay (normally at least), each move puts the victim in a variety of different hit animations in order to make the impact look proper with the move's animation. a lot of the moves you mentioned seem to hit the opponent high up, meaning they'd have an animation tied to something like their head being blown back or something of that sort. it's probably tied to multiple animations though, seeing the sheer variety of moves that it seems to affect. i might be wrong, but that seems like the most likely explanation for all the strange inconsistencies with it. hope that helps if you didnt already consider it!

[@FlameUser64]

It looks like it's two specific hitstun states that don't have the two extra frames. There are only two different animations we see in the list of moves that don't have the extra hitstun. Edit: …Okay nevermind, we got to the specials and stuff got weird. Might be _3_ specific hitstun states? One of the moves that doesn't do the extra has a hitstun animation we don't see elsewhere.

[@nelomalkevain4129]

SF characters are my favourite when they take a wierd concept and make it into a fun character, the best exemple that i can think of is G because who thought to put goddamn Arbraham Lincon that shoots magma is a goddamn genius. Also ye oro cHP should be +5 on hit

[@pdragon619]

the weirdest thing about the inconsistency between what normals do extra stun and what don't is the implication that some guy had to spend like a week going through every character move by move and tweaking them specifically for this random challenge mode enemy. Like who at the office was bored enough to do this shit?

I'd find it hilarious if there's not a technical reason for the extra hitstun and it really was just a bored dude

[@bulletcola7890]

What do you think about the concept of the "Ed" Input style (Basically using two attack buttons for a special along with three for an EX variant)? Personally, I really enjoy it, Ed was the only character I have mained in a Figthing Game that I stick to throughout instead of having multiple mains due to this simple input style, since it makes the whole process on trying to learn fundamentals all the more fun for me to do. So far, people don't really seem to think much about it other than how it hurts a character due to their power budget being limited to that, at the expense of not having as much options, but I think Ed/Falke are fine enough despite said limits like not having an easy overhead, due to having easy answers to the opponents options like a single button anti air from rising that can lead to a combo, or to have an easy way to end a combo with Upper. Heck, Ed himself has gotten a sizable playerbase from what I seen due to his Input Style despite people not liking his presentation/character. Kind of wish there are more characters with that input style in other games like Guilty Gear Strive, heck I wish the first DLC season has a Simple input character (And to me, it sucks Jack-O had her inputs from Xrd gone) so I can enjoy the game more consistently (Lazy I know but its my preference).

[@BigYellowSilly]

Personally I think it's great, I like Ed's gameplay a lot! It's a shame you lose out on different strengths of moves but overall I think it's a nice addition and of course it's great for accessibility

[@topazlight1586]

The inconsistency of which moves do and don't get extra hitstun (and the fact that it seems to be determined separately for each of these two) makes me wonder if the developers didn't just, like, set all the extra hitstuns manually, individually somehow and they just like, missed/forgot some?

[@MsSnoozable]

Don't know too much about sfv or extra battle, but this sounds like it exists as a means of tutorializing. If I was designing single player content it should ideally get you more comfortable with the game. Most fighting game story modes and challenges do this in one way or another. This is an interesting way of approaching it from a numbers side of things rather than changing the Ai or restricting the moves of the npc. Essentially if you have this enormous tank of health that the player can't get through they either have to constantly win neutral or "git gud" with their combo confirms to deal enough damage. The extra hitstun helps players who are new to combos to ease them into the games pace and the extra damage forces them to do more combos.If a player saw that they couldn't get enough damage in they could put a tip on screen saying focus on dealing combos. Or if new players went on a forum for help others would say it got a lot easier once they learned some combos, even if they aren't explicitly aware of the damage scaling or hitstun. The bit where some moves do or don't add hitstun might be from moves that are already easier to combo or give enough breathing room after a combo that new players didn't need it. It's important you don't completely spoon feed them early on because then the transition out of it might be a little harder. This also applies for the higher ranked one. Players still have this advantage to learn from but now have a little less and Oro's kick has even less for the above stated reason. I know skullgirls did this with their AI in story mode. Each new character would have a particular type of challenge you'd have to face: one would do lots of jump ins, another would do lots of grabs, another would constantly aim for cross ups... it's all just indirect teaching through game design. I have no explanation for multi hit moves scaling per hit. Possibly just a bug since.... they might have some function that gets called to remove scaling from multi hit single action moves but forgot to add that because this character had their own damage scaling function it calls on, so someone just missed that one line from the other program.

[@DiamondDust132]

Loving the face cam and of course the content. And those beautiful nails. Keep up the good work.

[@innerface.]

I wonder if the hit effect depends on what knocks characters out of stun. Like some normals will cause the reeling animation on a stunned opponent while some cause them to fly back in the air and for the combo to always drop.

[@BigYellowSilly]

Some of the hit animations do look a little odd on AS-R EX, so I do wonder if that's what could dictate the extra hitstun

[@ClexYoshi]

Joke's on you. I spend most of my time with the single player modes of Fighting Games because my crippling anxiety and fragile ego makes it incredibly difficult for me to want to actually play with people!

[@BigYellowSilly]

It's things like that that make having a good single player so important, it's not something I play but I'd never write it off, it does a lot for some people

So is nobody gonna talk about that thumbnail?

[@DillonMeyer]

For why certain moves do the hitstun while others don't, it could be just as simple as a hidden value relating to the knockback of the hits. IE, let's say there's six layers of "knockback value" to the attacks. 1 = No knockback; used in multiple hit effects that have hits or confirms beforehand, or grabs with otherwise forced momentum. 2 = Not visible knockback, but contains momentum; doesn't actually knock back, but isn't 1. May be used for pulls/vacuums, restands, and OTG. 3 = Visible knockback, very small; usually tied to moves that have no forward momentum for the attack related, but push back the opponent. 4 = Visible knockback, small; tied to moves with slight forward momentum for the attack related, pushes back opponent. 5 = Strong knockback; sends opponent backwards but the opponent is still standing. May include crush counters. 6 = Knockdown; always knocks the opponent down, no exceptions. Using this logic, then you could tie properties to moves simply by the push back, among other things with a similar method. In this case, 4 may be the reason for the extra two frames. All those moves seem to have a slight amount of push back, but not too little or too much. For reference, this could be more or less values in reality. There could literally be 47 different states of knockback, or just three, and we as the players would never really know as some may look on the surface identically to others.

I always kinda wanted these characters to be playable just for funs sake but with all these oddities i'm kinda changing that opinion; this just gives me flashbacks to early Omega Gen with his infinite dick kick. Plus all the weird quirks and inconsistencies would just make them unfun to play as or against. Speaking of playing characters what's your thoughts on Oro and Akira? Personally I like Oro's new tools a lot but the double jump and launcher just don't feel right to me. I want to enjoy him as i did play him in 3S a bit, but His jump feels really awkward with how it effectively just stalls out and doesn't auto turn around anymore, and I really don't like chicken combo's not letting me cancel the first hit only. Akira on the other hand has been one of my favorite characters to play ever, and minus the lack of launch grabs and VT2 being a stance version of a couple supers this really does feel like i'm playing her in Rival schools again which is nice because her and Daigo were my mains.
