sophitia wasn't in the original arcade version of sc2 and iirc fan demand brought her back for the console version. who would have thought removing a popular character was a bad idea? i wonder why they did it in the first place. could have just been something as mundane as time constraints. either way, we ended up with two peak waifus by the end of it. and then they tried to bury both of them and everyone hated that so much they were forced to reboot the series lol.

I think this is mostly what Namco has done. see Tekken—they replaced Kazuya with Jin, Baek with Hwoarang, Eddie with Christie, Marshall with Forest… I think they kind of took the schtick from SNK and decided "cool" younger characters were better than standard fighting game types.

Funny how Forest was only relevant in his debut title. Other "successors" became some of the staple characters in the series, but Marshall just keeps going.

>> No.10282440

not enough difference. Jin started with lore around him and grew into his own style. Hwoarang was quite a bit more cool than generic % lame Baek. and Forest… he was just Marshall but younger.

>> No.10282456

>>10282440
Jin had some of the weirdest path as a successor character. Nearly a clone of Kazuya in Tekken 3, then with a completely different style in Tekken 4 (which lore-wise made perfect sense, but IIRC fans weren't pleased), then going back to his own flavor of Mishima karate.

As for Forest - same could be said about Julia, but in the end she stuck around and not Michelle.

street fighter & mortal kombat are the only fighting games i've played where i actually like the "new generation" & newcomer characters over the old guard to varying degrees.

for example in MK i like cassie more than sonya but taven, li mei & shujinko are not really good replacements for liu kang while frost & kotal could've actually been at least solid enough replacements for sub zero & shao kahn respectively if midway/NRS weren't retarded about them and were written better. that all said the rest of the kombat kids can fuck off and takeda is the most overrated MK character. even more so than reptile.

meanwhile kenshi, skarlet, erron black, ashrah & even kobra are cool to decent enough newcomers and mokap is pretty okay as far as joke characters go.

>>10281995
soul calibur's problem was they introduced this new generation cast of character but only told you about the 2 very worst ones in game (sophi's shit kids) and you basically had to have the collector's edition of SC6 or look up a wiki if you wanted to know anything about them.

I think it was a compromise from when nobody knew that what fighting game fans really wanted was to see the same roster over and over. It was like "ok he is retired but here is a new guy who is basically the same".

I wish I could have seen a fighting game series truly commit to a time scheme and age out/change characters like that, but it seems like everybody gave up after street fighter 3. SNK did it with KoF for a while and eventually it just became "OOPS! all dream matches!".

I can offer a bit of expansion on this; Nobody seriously uses blueprints (every software house I have seen abandoned them at some point if they ever used them) but as you say, the engine is universally known enough and they are working hard enough that the product is out there and many people know how to use it. It is being done because middleware makes good business sense, and because it saves you the headache of both making your own engine and training new people on it.

tl;dr smarter for business. RIP genius software like MT Framework.

In SC2 they feel the same at first, and I was wondering if they were clone characters. I started playing them more and more often and then noticed there's definitely quite a difference. Personally I prefer Sophitia, and it's not because of SC1 nostalgia, I actually played SC2 first, and Cassandra first. Her skills are just better all around. Bonus points for being so incredibly nice looking for a milf, i'm not usually into milfs but she's absolutely stunning.

No it isn't. It's not at all a stretch to say that the majority of competitive players don't know the story to the games. Nothing you're talking about has anything to do with knowing a fighting game's lore. Story mode is overwhelmingly a casual audience activity, that's why Mortal Kombat consistently sells shitloads on release but actual active players online or in tournaments drops to nearly nothing shortly after the game is released. Casual players just buy it for the story mode and then stop playing when they're done.

so you really ARE retarded then.

>You are insisting on talking about something that has nothing to do with the thread and you're clearly socially awkward, unable to see what this conversation is about.
nice projection bro but enough about yourself.

if all you do is get defensive and cry "outsider" or "casual" when people challenge your perception of fighting games or the FGC as a whole then maybe you should take a step back anon. even the most egocentric people in the scene aren't as insecure as you.

i personally liked his 1P & 3P costume from SC2 the best (his 2P design looks too disney for me) and i hate how his later designs lean too hard on that he's a vampire even SC5 makes him a vampire hunter and then SC6 gives him glasses which just feels like an out of nowhere thing. not that any of this matters since i just made a CaC with his moveset from SC3 onward.

i also hate how SC5 made him nightmare for like no reason.

my problem with nightmare is when they tried to differentiate him from siegfried but still wanted to keep everything from him even though the reason why he had all that shit was because he was siegfried. if the soul edge & soul calibur change to the user so why not make him different with a different user? if siegfried didn't become a twin sword pirate after taking it from cervantes then why did raph become nightmare?

unless you plan on rebooting everything every few years or so a new generation is kind of essential if you're going to have time progress at a natural rate otherwise you'd end up with a roster of 70-80 year old geriatrics and it's not really believable.

Nobody cares about this. This isn't retro but it relates to retro and proves my point. Street Fighter 4 includes characters that are canonically something like 8 years old at the time the game takes place, because they're from the retro games and having 8 year old Yun and Yang wasn't in the cards. Nobody took note and nobody knows Yun and Yang's canon age. Sakura is also in the game but she isn't aged up at all, she should look much older. And she does look much older in SF5, which was a stylistic choice, not a lore choice.

never said i wanted it or not but i was just pointing out that's the consequence of giving something a realistic passage of time. if you don't want something like that then don't do it be like capeshit where it's the same ageless characters forever until they stop being profitable.

as for why someone would want that it mostly goes down to variety and some people wanting to see something grow up with them while also trying to appeal to newcomers. you may not like new generation characters but someone definitely got into street fighter with 3rd strike or mortal kombat with deadly alliance or even soul calibur with SC6.

>>10289080
what separates street fighter from soul calibur & the newer mortal kombats is that street fighter doesn't pidgeonhold itself to a set timeline of events. we know it's SF1 -> alpha games -> SF2 -> SF4 -> SF5 -> SF3 -> SF6 but we don't know WHEN it all takes place and you can just sliding timescale any errors like marvel does.

I know you're having an autistic hissy, but for the purposes of this thread Sophitia and Cassandra are practically equal in popularity and have both existed since the first game in the series, they just made Cass playable because they were trying to avoid the stupid asspulls necessary to have Sophitia keep fighting after getting married in SC1, which were the impetus for the story direction that resulted in the actual new generation reboot failure.

I don't play Mortal Kombat so unlikely

Every fighting game to this day still lugs around it's original OG fighters. SNK still have to shill Kyo, Iori and the Fatal Fury guys, SF6 still has the world warriors. Soul Calibur had to reboot itself that mainly had the OG cast. Tekken is still about the Mishimas even with Heieachi dead, Mortal Kombat 1 literally has no new chararacters in it's entire roster. It's clear the concept just does not work, and the market has proven time and time again that it doesn't
