[Rant] I love me some fighting games, even though i don't play them as much as i used to. One thing that caught on in like every single modern fighter, that I absolutley despise ‼️👊,is super/special move cutaways. It was specifically in Street FIghter 4 where i remember this starting (and likely catching on). Could've been in others, but ifso, i didn't play them.
It's specifically because you're playing, someone does a super and (if im not in the corner) i immediatley have to wonder where the hell i was on screen before the cutaway to react and just breaks up any pace i have going on and i'm am disengaged completely afterwards. Cutaways are all you see in fighting games now with Street FIghter, Guilty Gear, Dragon Ball Fighters, Granblue Versus, Tekken 8, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, etc. I guess specifically 3D2D fighting games. I get that it looks pretty cool anyone watching, but i despite the mechanic.
cutaway/cutscene on an Instant Kill Type/Astral is perfectly okay though because it only happens after the hit and the round is over. Damn you Capcom. 👺👺👺
Street Fighter Alpha 3 was my Goat, then Blazblue came out and that was the new GOAT. If they announce a new Blazblue (probably wont) and its a 3D2D game like Strive, I'm already gonna expect that to be in the there and hard pass, even though i love the series and the characters/designs. And the fact i can't expect them to put in an English dub apparently. Also, if i recall the Blazblue series creator left ArcSys a while ago.
Still baffled about that with Central Fiction because i really dig the english voices. I literally didn't buy it because of that, but someone bought it for me for Xmas later on , so i was like, okay i guess im in. I'm one of the very small percent that played through and enjoyed the long ass story mode, so i have an appreciation for it the voices. Wheter or not it makes a ton of sense is a different matter altogether, but it certainly had interesting parts. Espectially with Jin (not the "BROTHER!!" nonsense)/Hakumen/Tsubaki lore/mystery.
