@1 the same people who asked for Vita exclusives
I'll just say this: Street Fighter is a game about ambiguous 50/50s and unblockable setups. 1/3rd your meter to protect against these assaults is a fair price to pay.
Omg that custom Color Custimazation is Godlike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
these developers dont get it...i dont care about a noob using broken gems. ill smash them. i care about someone who halfway decent snaking wins because he can utilize these gems to his advantage. easy input should have 40% attack decrease. if not ill pic gief and spd for free all day through block strings, then throw some power on top of that to make up for the damage decrease of the assist gem. just scrap the gems dawg. you still have time
this scramble mode is a mess, but it sure looks great as a party game. wish they would cover some of the tekken side move inputs
and as much as i disliked the gems at first, it kinda is sounding like a good thing. it's a unique challenge. the throw escape gem doesn't look that costly and it's really handy. i wouldn't however equip auto block. too costly, and i know how to block even against advanced players.
@12 Its a valid complaint is this a fighting game or a gem collecting game? Nearly all the info about this game has been about F-ing gems. 10 or 20 gems is fine however to much effort is being put into these damn gems. How about putting all if not most of the focus on gameplay and character balance.
Of all things GEMS!
@11 I think you sound like the scrub hoping to get wins off easy input. What you gonna do when you come up agaisnt a good player who can out poke/zone you all day where is your mashing 360 then. 1/100 times will gem's decide who wins the fight they don't have abig enough effect to make a team OP. DEAL.WITH.IT.
Can they not glow so bright with the gems?? Idk what they have done with Pandora mode but. Pandora: It should lessen your life bar to 1 instead of a time limit, so it forces the other player to fight you at some point, instead of running away. esp cuz this game has alot of Teleport chars. it will be hard for every char. to kill them if its time based. Now if its life, they might want to fight you still to make ur life go down much faster, but with time its just playing keep away. Spread this idea. blast his twitter!! lol
The whole reason why I don't entirely embrace the gem system is because it cost money to buy most of them.
I'm trying so hard to like the gem system but I can't for that reason.

Oh, hello clearly misinformed person.
Psst, the only "DLC" gems that aren't in the retail version are the "EX" gems. And protip: They cost 2 slots instead of one, so you're making a bigger tradeoff.
Psst, gems are balanced, cry some more.
Lol!! i didnt even notice Ryu n Kazuya wearing make-up... that shyt looks fruity. Can you please remove the eye liner shyt from around their faces?? Esp. Ryu. That reminds me of this ugly ass girl i saw one day with pencil eyebrows and a lot of make-up. Its nasty
@5
That's MvC actually.
SF is about footsies, reading your opponent, reactions, maximising punishes and etc.
@26 Happy New Year ,resident Eventhubs troll, you finally came out of hibernation.
i don't think those look like eye liners at all. that's the shadowy artistic perspective that the guy who made that wanted to portray; the dark and gloomy side of the game. get an education in art before you just holler like an idiot "fruity" or "gay", which by the way does nothing but merely display your own insecurity about your own sexuality.
If you guys didnt know by now, while there will be "free" colors down the road, there will also be non-free color pack DLC.
There will also be an incentive to buy the DLC gems as Capcom is a business. If no one bought the DLC gems then capcom would lose money. They dont want that to happen now.
And if you didnt know, Gems is very much like X-factor. Dont think so? Do a thorough compare and contrast. I like to call them specific activated x-factor.
@18 no he actually didnt considering how balanced it is, he is complaining about good players using gems that help out bad players which why on earth would someone who is beast or even a decent adverage player at the game use auto block when it nerfs there damage for the whole game by 10% and every time the game blocks for them they lose 1 of 3 super bars and on top of that if they dont have meter or not enough meter the game will not block for them. easy input is another gem i dont see many people using either cuz yea u can do things easier but ur given less moves in total, those who actually will use it wont be able to perform all of there special move or all of there character unique moves which is a fair nerf for using it, and from what i have heard about in previous builds of this game is that the grab tech window is ridiculous which means even bad players wont need the auto tech gem. and as far as i can see the game already looks like its balanced with or without the gem but the gems are balanced aswell which is a plus and pandora looks balanced which is great (im just glad capcom didnt give us another broken comeback mechanic like x-factor). the only problem i have with the gems is that there not always active, there only active for about 10-20 seconds. the problem is there idea for the gems is to allow ur favorite character to play more to ur liking for example a fast or strong dhalsim, but he is only gonna play how u want him to play for those 10-20 seconds instead of the whole match
the colors better be free cause i wouldnt buy this because of sneaky little tactics like that(infact that is an insulte to fans). i cant wait to hear wat sneaky sales tactic they will try(they always do something underhanded and you know they will, like it or not).
lol i guess i was complaining too much huh? silly me, what was i thinking. smh gems are awesome
#29, 32
Aw, you're mad because I'm right, how cute. That's right, just call whatever makes you mad a troll, because you clearly don't know what the definition of an internet troll is.
this game will be fun as heck to play cant wait madness sheer madness
@27
Thank you I am glad you agree with me
People need to stop judging this game before they get there hands on it. Do you people all want to keep on playing the same game for the rest of your life just with a fresh coat of paint we need new systems in our games to keep them fresh and to keep on evolving.
If the gem system ends up being trash it will not survive through future iterations.
Its an experiment lets all hope it turns out well so fighting games can grow as a genre, instead of crapping on every new thing that comes our way and lamenting for the days of Marvel 2 or 3rd strike.
That is all I broke up my rant into chunks and you get no tldr version
lol@ people wanting this type of marketing tactic to grow.
@36 How do you know how balanced this game is you dont own a copy and dont take what people who dont know how to play fighting games words. For example any big name video game site that reviews fighting games. On top of that with the amount of characters that are going to be featured in this game character balance and gameplay should be the priority not GEMS.
Am i going to get this game? Yes most likey but that doesnt mean im happy about how much this game revolves around stupid ass gems that alter the gameplay. I mean do some of you seriously believe that some gems wont be more useful than others and that people wont take advantage of these gems.
Its just one more aspect of the game that the developers might have to balance and tweak when they could put there time to better use. Once again gameplay aspects like GEMS should not be a focal point of any fighitng game and yet for SFXTEKKEN they are. Anytime there any info its gem this gem that.
Im starting to think the GEMS are a damn marketing ploy to sell more DLC. I wonder how many GEM packs are going to be sold as DLC when all is said and done. Whats the first thing people think when it comes to SFXTEKKEN? Those damn gems thats what. Weve heard more about the damn GEMS than anything else in this game.
@27 Exactly that same thing should apply to the people who are defending this game. Stop saying the GEM system will be just fine along with the gameplay and character balance since you dont know. Your also stating fresh coat of paint give me a break CAPCOM/Ono is still using the same damn graphic style thats been used in every version of SFIV weve played.
How does that keep things fresh and evolving? The graphics in fact looked better to me in the SFIV games. I dont know why they went with a muddy colors look instead of a clean crisp colors. Mark my words if the gameplay eventually ends up being stale or the game just becomes a broken mess youll have the stupid GEM system to blame.
#44, You said, "Im starting to think the GEMS are a damn marketing ploy to sell more DLC."
You are just now figuring this out? They mentioned they wont be selling any iterations with this game..so how do you think they plan on keeping this game fresh over after year? With SF4, they had Super the year after then AE then AE2012 (though free just for another year before it gets replaced by SFxT sadly).
Without Iterations, they need of a marketing scheme to milk the money they would have gotten from the iteration technique. Whats a better way to milk money than selling bits and pieces and variations of the game mechanic?
Do not forget that Capcom is a business and when they stated that they will be releasing DLC gems, I guarantee you that it will have an incentive to sell..other wise they lose money. Capcom hates losing money.
i knew it was gonna have a preset gem selection!!!~
i dont think anyone was listening to me but, lol~ *cries inside
lol jk. HYPED!!! COME to MEE, MORE TRAILERSSS xD
Anyone has seen that no gems option that seth killian told?. Maybe in the options menu????.............
I am kind of glad that they give you the option to edit the colors on the characters because from what i am seeing is that the original colors that they have set for the characters are kind of shaded, But at the end, some people will edit the dream and What if color characters! Some people might imitate some of the colors from UMVC 3, hey you never know!
@44 i can see with my own eyes how balance this game is, i have been following this game since the day it was announced, and everything i thought was a little OP, cheap or broken they fixed it in the next build of the game. and u cant say any of these gems are even close to being overpowered after all the info they have told and shown us since they announced it. and the reason why most of the talk of this game is about gems is becuase they announced it half assed, they didnt go into detail or anything so people started complaining about it before they saw it so there natural response was to talk about it and show it off. they showed off pandora mode and told us what it was and how it worked, before trying it everyone made up there mind about it either being useless, a last minute ace in the whole, or a big 30/70 percent gamble with 30% being in there favor. and didnt capcom stop talkin about it. and ur sayin i dont know if the game is balanced or not since i havent played it but u and most of the people who complain about this game are complaining about something ya havent played with or used and ya been complaining since the moment it was annouced. its one thing to have a concern about it and think something might be OP, cheap, broken, useless, ect. or hope it wont be like that, and to just straight out complain about it before u actuall use the character, gem, game mechanics, ect. like i said, ya been complaining about it since the moment it was announced, and just think about this for a second if u dont like the way the game is turning out (characters list, gems, pandora, game mechanics, dlc) u dont have to buy this game. u can rent/borrow/buy used a copy of the game and test it out and if u like it and see that some of ur concerns were wrong go buy it or if u dont like it at least u can get ur money back or just give the game back to its owner
smash bros crap for casual mashers
sad to see sf go in this direction
@56
Man for someone who hates this game you sure seem to love commenting on all the news related to it on both this site and srk, I would say you are excited for it because you cant stop talking about it
lol at people who go to topics they hate and excessivly post negative comments to get attention
i cant wait to try paul out... not really into scramble... but everything else is A+
#58, you sure due make a lot of sense. Yeah let me talk trash because I like the game lmfao.
Someone asked about how gem selection is going to work in tournaments... Who asked that?
