Regarding the discussion about feminism in videogames and the way the heroines are portrayed in them, “Street Fighter V” has been criticized because of two characters seen as extremely sexualized – including the Brazilian Laura.

In an interview for UOL Jogos, the producer of the fighting game series Yoshinori Ono guaranteed that Capcom wants to erase that notion so that their game doesn’t disturb the female audience. “Our objective with ‘Street Fighter V’ is to start over from zero”, explains Ono. “We want the professional players and the casual fans of the series to return, but we also want to reach those who have never even touched a fighting game. So we can’t have something in the game that makes people think, ‘This is not acceptable’”.

Originally, the fighter Rainbow Mika slapped her butt during one attack sequence, but the action was removed. That led some fans to question if some kind of ‘censorship’ had occurred. “We didn’t make any change because of external influences”, reassures Ono. “Those changes came up internally. We decided to remove that because we want the biggest possible number of people to play, and we don’t want to have something in the game that might make someone uncomfortable”.

The objective, according the producer, is to have characters that people like, and not put them off the game. “Probably we won’t be able to remove everything that could offend someone. But our goal is, at least, to reduce that number as much as possible so that they think ‘Ok, there is this issue here, but it is within the limits’. We want that everyone can play and enjoy without worrying about anything else”, he says.

“Street Fighter V” will be launched for PlayStation 4 and PC on the February 16, 2016.

In fairness though, that's some good box art!

You know, considering the damage output in SFV, rounds last roughly 20-30 seconds, even if it goes to 3 rounds, and one runs long, finishing someone in 2 minutes isn't that impressive.

3S matches can be over before you count to 30.

Think you may be missing my point Kiki- how does FANG threaten you?

Going a bit overboard with the "feck lights" thing I think!

I disagree.

Meaties/frame trap buttons shouldn't lose to mashing.

Dreddybajs

I think it's cool, it leads to a cleaner frametrap game (don't have to have such exact timing on traps) and feels very satisfying (in 3s anyway). Looking forward to trying it out.

edit: It'll still lose to mashing if you're doing a slow frametrap Kiki. And meaties never lost to mashing in the first place in SF4.

Kirby

I think thats excellent. It really benefits the guys who know the frame data for lots of characters (I certainly dont).

Doctor DooM

It will certainly simplify the frame trap game. Really, the guy doing the frame trap has one more frame to do it basically. You've still got to time it reasonably well.

Were people having huge problems with people mashing lights in frame traps? I'm hardly desk but it was never really an issue for me, that fool was getting a counter hit hard punch.

Nutrient

I think what it does is cleans up the Frametrap game or makes it easier to perform frame traps.

It does give attackers with pixel health a chance for a clean counter instead of losing to trades with lower priority buttons

The overall reaction seems positive from players, it certainly rewards players that know their data.

Azza

So fireball zoning and defense are out.

Doom I think its time you and I moved to Tekken. :pac:

If you go for a slower trap expecting a delayed tech then you'll get hit by a mashed one

Azza

Suppose people are forgetting about V-Reversals as a defense tool.
They should counter frame traps that use medium or hard strength attacks.

blag

The problem with using v-reversals is using a full bar of v-gauge which I've found so far is no way worth giving up to shake someone off you temporarily in most scenarios.

Azza

I barely used V-Reversals when I played the game, mainly to do with the fact that I forgot they were in the game.

Think the game needs to be explored more before a judgement can be made on how useful V-Reversals are.

If they are porting it to Linux, its literally a copy and paste for a Mac port as well.

Anyone having trouble getting ranked/casual games on the PS4 version ?, last 2 betas and all the stress tests were fine, but I haven't gotten a single game this time around, it might as well be infinite practice mode :-/

Do you still get matched up in training mode ?, Ive tried searching for ranked and casual matchs for so long my PS4 has told me its going to go into rest mode.

J0hnick

PS

Ive got a spare beta code if anyone wants one, pm me if you want it.

Azza

Have 2 steam beta gifts if anyone wants to try the PC beta.

Rob2D

I haven't been able to find a single match this weekend.

Zapp Brannigan

Same, have stayed in training mode for ages but no matches. Searched but none either.

Oh well, roll on February.

Rob2D

They seem to be coming through now.

I like the computer voice: "your win streak in a ranked match has become a personal best"

Ohhhhh guuuurl :pac: (kbrad voice)
