Yup, that's a very cool design. Also now we know where SC6 Zasalamel's shoulder pads inspiration came from.

It’s because of shit like this is why I avoid Twitter and Social Media as a whole. 90% of it is pure garbage. I want the next DLC as much as anyone, but the way these guys are taking the delay is ridiculous. They should be grateful that we even got a second season for SCVI at all. I swear the worst of the Setsuka fans are starting to become just as bad and disrespectful as the toxic Mileena fans on the Mortal Kombat side of FGC.

Yep, as I said in the shitpost thread, I hate social media. People are assholes man. Wish people would just stop crying and just learn to smile a bit more.

Have I ever told you guys that I admire your faith during these dark and tentative times? I say this in relation to the past 10 or so replies here.

One thing that will bother is me, when Setsuka eventually gets released (setsuka seems to always get a lot of love from the developer team to get an awesome movelist), that twitter asshole is going to sit there thinking "I did it! it was all because of me!"
..ugh...
..ugh...

Smile? On Twitter?!! Boi, the only thing it appreciates these days are those that suffer from severe Squidward Disorder and people who go out of their way to behave like Twits!
Hmm....maybe that’s how Twitter got it’s name.

Holy mother of lack of perspective...just how entitled can people get?
While I can only agree with the rest of this commentary, I think it is very much worth reiterating the point that Dante (I think it was Dante) was making here the other day: this isn't tied to any one character, and we could expect essentially the same reaction at roughly the same level of volume (and with basically the same complete lack of attachment to reality), no matter what the content was. This is about much broader trends in our community, in fandom more broadly, and indeed, writ large across our culture. Closing on half a million dead, the world headed into what could prove to be the most rapid and severe recession in modern history, that will drive tens of millions into extreme poverty and have severe impacts on the well-being of virtually everyone in the impoverished and middle classes even in relatively well-to-do nations for the next ten years, and....these nitwits are bitching because their tots favourite video game character is --maybe-- going to be delayed a few weeks. I mean...
And even if we don't consider the larger context here, there's still that obnoxious habit of rushing to conclusions in the shape of wild conspiracy theories: "The characters are actually all done, and they are just keeping them from us! ...for....reasons. What reasons? Well I didn't get something that I wanted on exactly the timetable that I wanted it, so surely something nefarious is afoot, thwarting my perceived right to it on my own terms." Nevermind that if one made even the most trivial of efforts to learn how the content they enjoy is produced before spouting of this half-baked nonsense, it would become immediately apparent that we're not even beyond the average of what it has taken them to produce previous similar content even before there was a life-changing/-defining pandemic slowing down every sector of production imaginable. Nevermind that the proffered solution is "Just work from home, guys---because you're a business that will find it both feasible and affordable to move tons of high-end hardware and software out of centralized and technically complex office spaces and into the crowded homes of countless employees, right?"
But again, I'm quite certain that if we look, it's everywhere in fan and consumer culture, coming from those people who have so insulated themselves to extremely problematic degrees in their favourite pop culture obsessions and allowed themselves to become so disconnected and useless in every other productive area of life that they have a very limited sense of the real human tragedy unfolding all around them, or even enough understanding of how the content they enjoy (or for that matter, other more crucial products) is provided for them, such that they would have anything approaching the amount of sympathy and gratitude for those who are still willing to work hard to produce art and other content even in such an environment. I mean, wow...I'd love to believe these people are due a rude awakening as the economic reality of the current global situation sets in, but with obliviousness at this level and critical thinking skills of that caliber, I think it probable that many will never really appreciate just how tone-deaf their commentary in this area really is.

I keep thinking these people spend months bothering the staffs, after they get their character they play for 3 weeks and then stop.. and start to bother again.

Who she talking about specifically because the devs on Twitter give the impression that Calibur is very much a passion project for them.

There's no basis in reality for that assertion, as far as I can discern: it seems to be just the typical approach of making shit up to justify one's outrage. There's certainly been no express comment from Project Soul or Namco or any individual dev to suggest they are cutting the rest of the season two content. Indeed, insofar as they have sold probably hundreds of thousands of licenses for the season pass, that would be a legal and PR nightmare for them to do anything like that. For that matter, they haven't even indicated that the next characters are even going to be especially behind schedule.
Now, let me be clear: I'm no fan of Project Soul's approach to promotion of their dlc content for this game: I think they are experimenting with a limited marketing budget and think that the best they can do with those limited resources is to keep a lid on things and keep people talking about what's coming, as opposed to just announcing everything at the front end like most developers do with their games (and indeed, as is done with even other Namco fighters). I think it's a dumb strategy and I can see why people would be legitimately tired of it at this point.
But at the same time, let's be clear: anybody who puts their money down on a season pass has to accept that they have no control over when that content is ultimately released, let alone how it is foreshadowed. Those licenses come with very express terms that pretty much never include a guarantee that all content will be released by date X. If one doesn't like the idea of that, they should not be buying the season pass until all of its content is released: nobody is putting a gun to their head to buy at any point before they know they can access the content immediately, and if any delay is likely to cause them angst on the back end, they should spend their money more judiciously. As far as I'm concerned, once you have entered into that arrangement, knowing the realities of digital distribution of content, your right to complain thereafter is limited: part of being an adult is knowing yourself well enough to know whether you can live with such terms before you agree to them.
And I'm not saying that companies don't accrue a certain amount of responsibility to keep their consumers reasonably well-informed about continuing support content, whatever their legal rights--it just makes sense from a perspective of keeping your customer happy, even if you don't technically owe the information to them. But again, we're not even past the median wait for a new character. And regardless, just making shit up and putting it out into the world is just plain petty and irresponsible. Not to mention counter-productive and destructive to the exact objective of promoting communication between the developers and the fan base: it's not like accusing the devs of doing things they are only doing in one's fever dreams is really going to inspire them to be more open...

all the way at the bottom!
If Hwang is truly coming I'm going to play more so that he doesn't fall into the depths of Zafina and Ganryu tier usage
