Leihua looks really cute~

 

Also, was that Nick Rox (from '90s Gamefan magazine) translating during the exhibition?

 

That was Michael Murray.

First: i dont need to be able to see grabs[Yellow halo]
Second: Sidestep animation[white wind]
Third: super videoanimation dont flow, plus it looks like it helps out ivy

There we go. Repel GI at around 5:30 of the 2nd vid.

 

Xianghua is one of the youngest females in the series. It's seeming more and more likely that Ivy will be the only returning female character.

I saw a few just guards, but I didn't see a single guard impact. I'm curious if that mechanic is simply out. The game is still far away from release though, a lot of stuff was obviously placeholder.

We already confirmed a GI at 9:51 of the cam footage. Mitsu forward GIs Sig.

6:01 to 6:09 shitlike this bothers me mitsu does a super sieg blocks then attacks which misses so he goes for a floor/leg throw, then animates into his super. supers forcing animation changes/tricks NONONO. FIX IT lol
4:08 to 4:11

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH SNIIIIZZZZZAAAAAAP

YES! My main \[^O^]/

 

I wet myself!!

I was hoping to see a little more from zwei. At least more things other than AA's and BB's. But I think he looks great and cant wait to play him

 

anyone else notice missing armor from seigfried in the second round?

 

I don't know if anyone noticed, but the visual effect for throws have been changed. In SCIV it was a light-blue sphere (hence the honor 'water moon') while in SCV it's replaced with orange 'wind blades'. It just a guess, but I think they did that because they feel player will react faster to warmer colors

 

I think Talim and possibly Tira will return. Ivy won't be the only female, I am 100% sure of that.

 

OMFG!!! MY NATSU IS FINALLY TOP TIER!!!!!!!!!

hey will dont no that but i hope so

Are you sure???
5;10 to 5:13
didnt look like a Parry/repel more like the new 4G
GIVES counter attack frames
5:31 GI...

 

I really can't get over how great Ivy and Natsu are looking. My mind is blown. Saying I'm excited for SCV would be an understatement.

BTW, thanks to whoever ripped those vids.
