And so it begins! Could be a good long wait but here's something to start us off.

I was hoping for a return to anime style graphics like alpha/zero but doesn't look like I'll get my wish. Not that there's much to go on. Really hoping on all platforms this time around too.

I think they've learnt their lesson from the awful sf5 launch. Looks promising so far!

Some good footage and explanation of mechanics. Pretty surprised how quickly info is rolling out already!

Zangief, Lilly and Cammy Trailer.

Just played with the Demo on the PS5 this weekend and had a lot of fun with the character creation bit. I spent probably way too much time making my Avatar look good and almost like an official SF character, pity I won't be able to save it unless I buy the full game also on the PS5 so that the save data ports across. I'm deciding either on the PS5 or PC but leaning towards te PS5.

I will main my usuals. Chun-Li and Ibuki when she's becomes available.

Also, Modern controls are absolute trash. I don't see how anyone would prefer them over Classic controls.

Excellent stuff. Modern controls are just a way for new players to jump in and and start doing special moves without being handicapped essentially. It seems very beginner friendly and the training modes have tons of features.

I don't see how classic controls could ever be regarded as not beginner friendly, it's robbing the enjoyment for new comers learning how to pull off these movies. It's part of the reason i lost so much time on SF4

That's probably because years of doing quarter circle motions and DP inputs etc. are second nature to you now. For total beginners its not at all easy to do consistently. If it helps players jump in and start throwing fireballs then I'm all for it. They can always learn the system more in depth down the line which the world tour mode seems to do very well. Whiff punishing mini games, weird little pizza games that teach motions etc. It honestly looks amazing.

Just look how in depth the training mode is now:

Yeah it's all cross play. It's useful to know what's plus/minus and what things like drive rush do to frame advantage, but it can all get a bit much for sure.

Zatoichi.uK · 30 May 2023 at 22:22

I'll be out Sun but will be doing the same. Lots of world tour, some combo trials etc. And then see who I like the feel of. Narrowed it down to 7 characters so far! Mid week should be good.

I really want to get this but I'd need a new fight pad as my fighting commander 4 won't be compatible on PS5.

Don't know if I'll want to play enough to make the £100 outlay worthwhile.

Brook converter an option?

Zatoichi.uK · 31 May 2023 at 15:38

Shopto have digital for 45 quid if that helps. Every little ha.

Do you have a link? I can see the xbox version but not ps5. I've ordered a new fight pad so I guess I've committed to it. Haha.

Ah no I was looking at Xbox. Assumed it was the same price sorry.

Zatoichi.uK · 5 Jun 2023 at 12:26

If you plug in a normal pad as p2 you can use that for world tour mode.
