Sounds fine. I was worried about dumb shit like in CVS2 for the xbox.
 
Maximillian is streaming right now talking about his time with street fighter 6

should add he is showing his gameplay

 
So the parry system isn’t fully loved?

I thought it was a system loved by a huge majority because a huge majority loved 3rd strike
No it's not, many players who enjoyed ST and alpha don't like Parry because it nullifies fireballs and is a strong defensive option. Players like mago and Daigo among others are on record saying they don't like Parry system.

I don't know about that. I really enjoyed 3S, but even back in the day I knew people who didn't like it. I'd rather deal with parrying than custom combos.
 


Potemkin changes. Music is from one of the best 16-bit era games of all time and now that I think about it, some of it would go well with Guilty Gear.

Good vid. Listening to the music reminds me of how great Capcom arcade music was in the 90s.

So there's Level 3 Supers in Them's Fighting Herds now. The game plays great, but these characters...I just can't get into that.

it doesn’t nullify fireballs but they don’t like it because they preferred the ST flow chart. Having to be creative and open an opponent up was frowned upon by old school heads. The only real issue is character options after parry or red parry.

3rd strike is the most unforgiving game in the franchise. Nobody parries and wins by luck.
