Okay they say Father time is undefeated. And so is my employer, I’m out of EVO Japan due to commitments at work. Apparently Tokido couldn’t defeat me the normal way so they made sure I couldn’t compete at all. I’ll be watching EVO Japan from behind my desk.
Thanks guys, yeah, I failed again on the third try.
First time, I was in The States, and second time it was held in another city and I couldn’t arrange all the logistics. I might still go to support some friends on Day 2 or Day 3 as it falls on the weekend.
Makoto will probably happen thanks to her extreme popularity. Personally I’d love it if they added Twelve, Necro, and his chainsaw wielding girlfriend.
And never say never on KoF. SNK’s licenses are notoriously cheap (the Fighting EX Layef team was able to afford it after all) and SNK has been Buddy Buddy with Capcom in the past. Really, I think it just boils down to if Capcom wants to or not. I think it would be fun if they did Terry, but keeping in line with all the other characters having new “older” costumes with a classic alt, it would be Garou Terry with his classic as an alt. But there are a bunch of non-capcom guest characters I can think of that would rock.
Makoto and Q are the only characters from the Capcom popularity poll that crack the top 10 that aren’t in Street Fighter V.
Crimson Viper has been in leaks for ages.
Skullomania is the only EX character to crack the top 20
Retsu and Sawada are characters that have been asked for for a while.
I read somewhere that the SFV team really wanted to add in Pepsiman.
Necro and Effie would be really cool additions.
Jessica Haggar learning to fight and stand up for herself and joining the roster would be great.
Eagle should join up and be explicitly portrayed as gay. And while we’re at it just confirm Poison is a trans woman. Her story mode is riddled with trans coded language and subtext.
Philippe from Final Fight 2 is BEGGING to be a Street Fighter character.
Maki and Carlos from the same title would be neat.
Whoopsie… Posted in the wrong thread
Edit:
This is not a good sign… Defeating the Radiance requires you to see what’s going on different parts of the screen at any given time… How am I going to do that when I can’t even tell which thread I’m in ?
Oh Well… It’s gonna be along weekend…
OK. Do these Extra Battle things ever repeat? I didn’t even know the Fighting EX Layer costumes were a thing and lo and behold I missed two of them! I got the Blair Dame skin, but are the Kairi and Hokuto ones forever lost to me now?
