Combofiend leaves Capcom

I wonder if this has anything to do with how MvC ended up.

Of course has to so that

Was the sales fairly decent?

Does capcom do anything but fighters now?

It bombed in Japan and UK, charted 6 in the NPD.

devil may cry is all but confirmed, PSX should be the reveal.

I was very critical about ComboFiends direction with SFV and MVC:I. The mechanics he put in place for SFV left a very bad taste for me to support SFV in the direction it started with. You can see the difference in combat direction with Woshige as Battle planner compared to Combo with the season two cast. V-Trigger ended up being just another X-Factor than making the character unique for some. Look at Juri, Zeku, Menat, Akuma, Urien and to a lesser extent Ibuki. They feel like they have an extra layer you have master compared to the OG cast that is filled with mid punch frame traps and mid hit crush counters. And I am not even going to start with anti-air jabs and normals having a deceptive reach. When sometimes crouching mid-punch makes more sense to use than mid-kick because it will whiff at times and you clearly see the kick reaching and going through the opponent. But I also understand the pressure and the limitations he was given. He is an overall good due and I wish him the best.

Sucks when posts like these actually have some truth to them. Capcom and Konami have so many great IPs and what we mostly get is SF, RE and MGS

You don’t play anything but UT99 why does it matter

By giririsss Go To PostDoes capcom do anything but fighters now?

They sell you ports of old games for $20.

There's Monster Hunter, which is probably the remaining well-regarded IP that Capcom is actively developing.

There was a time when my life had a different kind of happiness....anyway, UT99?

Oh yeah that too. So MH, RE and SF. Occasionally we get some new IP like Dragon's Dogma.

Sorry, my post wasn't meant to troll. Just not up on their catalogue, but so much of it seems Fighters based.

Haven't played a RE in ages... but then i only own a 360.

I mean you aren't wrong. Good Capcom IPs we will never see a proper game for:

Mega Man
Breath of Fire
Onimusha
Ghosts 'n Goblins (yeah PSP game was great but that was ages ago)
Power Stone
Rival Schools (fighter game but still)
Dino Crisis
Maximo
Zack & Wiki

and a bunch of other shit

I played the SHIT out of the last rival schools.

Was that on Dream cast?

Oh, and Puzzle Fighter!

Yeah Project Justice, was a great improvement in every fucking aspect. Played the shit out of it too (did play lots of rival schools as well). Seriously that's like the second best fighting game on Dreamcast after Soul Calibur, the GOAT fighting game (together with SF2)

Have thousands up thousands of hours in Soul Calibur / 2 & 4. (3 was the ps2 only one and 5 was ~~~).

SC was indeed the GOAT.

Yeah imo SC2, 3 or 4 (never tried 5) came anywhere close to being as good as SC.

I just meant the franchise in general. 2 and 4 were very good too. But it seems the franchise lost a lot of steam with 3.
