This getting a bit ridiculous. I submit that there are very few professions where you don’t reuse/repurpose already completed work towards efficiency and economization of new projects. It’s a very smart way of using resources you’ve spread spent money and man hours on.
In addition, IG has a small team and has abided by some really tight deadlines. Making any implication of “laziness” here, especially when most of us are not aware of actual development processes, is rude, disrespectful, and lacks gratitude for a team of people that picked up a project instead of letting it die and supported it for 2+ years. Not to mention, IG’s “remixes” have been more creative than many “original” fighters in other games. Seriously, Shago, Omen, and Kilgore look and play very different guys.
Regardless, this is the hight of entitlement. IG isn’t always right, but neither is the consumer. Not all product is designed for me, for you, or for Joe Schmoe. People have different tastes and what doesn’t appeal to you, does to someone else. Some don’t like Fulgore, but they do like Kilgore, or Shago instead of Jago, etc. You don’t have to like a character or agree with it’s design. You can even voice your opinion, just don’t be an ■■■ about it. I don’t care for guest characters, and I loathe Rash’s existence in the game, but it’s hardly constructive for me to hurl insults at them.
P.S. If you are making such a big deal over the name, then ■■■■, life must be hard for you.
Because I’m so dead when it comes to street fighter,it’s not that much fun because of no offline modes and other extra content so all everyone does is play online and when you get online people only play top tier characters even in casual match.
That’s why I unironically think street fighter is dying because the only people playing it are all loyalist fanboys and pros.But at least the pros know the game is BS but they still play it for money(which must be soul crushing)and any amount of criticism towards the game even for something as simple as arcade mode where they make gill the boss is met with defensive comments and ad hominems,I don’t want KI to end up like that or the community to act like that,this is why I want more out of KI.
I didn’t flag it,I think flagging is dumb because it impedes free speech, I do odd jobs to make money since I don’t have a drivers license and I’m going to college
Honestly this,why play hisako anymore?Shinsako looks way cooler and might be better for competitive play(hisako is very meh when people actually know how to combo break).
The main reason you play a fighting game character is aesthetics and if one is better than the other with the same aesthetic you play the better one.
Because hisako relies on the opponent not being able to time the combo break on her delayed special move that way she can extend her combo,which is a big staple in her move set.Not only that she’s big into parrying,counters,grabs,and air hits which are not great against most of the KI cast.
Let me clarify, First I loathe Hisako because of her game play/play style not because of how she looks in game. If anything I like her overall as a character aesthetically and story wise and think she’s a very well thought out character, I personally hate to use her and even more so fighting her but that contempt stems from salt.
Second how many people flat out abandoned Jago and Fulgore just because they got remixes? People still play Jago and Fulgore much more extensively than their remix counterparts so I have no idea where you got that from.
Well, Street Fighter V might not be doing all that well, but the tourney scene will keep this game going (probably) far longer than it otherwise would had that game some other miscellaneous fighter.
Well, we have no idea which one will be better for competitive play since we’ve seen nothing from Shin Hisako yet, but the one thing we probably already know is that they’ll likely play nothing like one another, so as far as your “why play Hisako anymore?” question, I’d say that pretty much answers it.
Any character that makes you borderline scared to attack them will draw salt. I’m right there with you. I also agree that she’s a very well thought out character. I’m terrible with her, but watching someone use her in high level play is pretty awesome.
Yes she could be terrible in the meta but let’s assume she’s not,is there any real reason besides being a loyalist to play her?I personally will play with everyone till I get them to 50 but if shinsako is better than hisako we will definitely see a large decrease in online hisako players.
Yes, because they won’t play anything like one another. If you enjoy the way Hisako plays, you’re not going to automatically love the way Shin Hisako plays. That’d be like saying you love the Jago plays, therefore you’d love the way Omen plays.
Not necessarily, I have been, quite accidentally for a while now, a Maya main, though I never honestly would have thought of picking her up from looks alone. I hated the way she looked in KI2 and at first thought her redesign in KI2013 was just “pretty, exotic blonde with dreadlocks” and that there were cooler looking female characters to play.
However, after a while her play style really started to appeal to me and I realised just how fun she was to use and it was then that realised she was much more than the “pretty blonde” - she was prideful, graceful a lethal huntress and pretty darn bad ■■■ underneath all the gold armour and the weave.
