Besides, in a tag game like this, there'll be a lot of issues Capcom will have to patch out over time. 10 characters means teams of two, which means roughly 90 combinations that could have infinite combos, juggle issues, or range/hitbox problems. Those are big flaws, so maybe Capcom is going to go small for a while so they don't end up releasing a game where one team will tear everyone else apart. That's a smart move, since they have to test a new engine (this is not a strait port) with the same characters, where physics and reactions might not be the same.

I can see it know. Ryu gets a infinite combo that every single person I play is going to exploit to the point that I'll have to quit when I see a ryu lol

I like the way Capcom updated Volt. We had something to look forward to for a nice while there and the characters came in a two-pack. I guess they did that pretty smart keeping people fed in small increments and not complaining or getting burnt out til another big new release..

Sort of. Imagine that Ryu's launcher-to-tag in Nina would allow Nina to get a 5 hit combo, launch, and tag in Ryu for a CLP+CLP+CHP+LTT back to Nina, and repeat. This is probably just to make sure that they can sort that out with 90 combinations before they add another 10 characters.

Let's... Not go there again.

You're forgetting this is based around team play. If one team could tear the rest up, what's to say that the other teams couldn't do that as well? That's hours of playtesting per team, and that's very difficult. I say keep it simple, because 10 characters still means 90 possible teams, and that's a lot of options.

With all the talks of teams and tagging in and out, I'm actually kind of looking forward to this a bit less than I was previously. I'll still buy it, but I guess I just want a new SF without all the extras.

On a side note, I really need to see some video footage of Dhalsim. I've seens bits from most of the other characters but still no Sim. WTF?

I think the best idea is to see what characters we have so far. Each character has a specific teammate that is canonically recognized, so if there are some who aren't out yet, we can assume their tag partner is a part of it.

This means Poison, by the way.

EDIT: Sagat, too. He's Dhalsim's tag partner.

Didn't realize that characters had specific tag partners. I never play Sagat on Volt so that will be interesting.

I don't think that theory holds. In SF4 Vanilla, they maintained the rival battles but some characters had some really nonsensical rivals. Not everyone hates ryu...

Even in Volt, Cody's rival is... Zangief?

Also, tognesimo, you are in the minority of willing to wait longer for more chars.

Keep in mind, that this is NOT a port so they have to do a lot more work

If you played the console/arcade/PC version of the game, there's cinematics to explain rivalries. For example, Zangief is Cody's second rival (Guy being the first). The reason the two fight is the same reason Zangief is rival to Abel: they're both kind of gloomy types who don't see the joy in fighting Zangief experiences, and thus, he decides to fight them as a friend to cheer them up.

Keeping in mind one of the official pairings in SFxT is Juri and M. Bison, who hate each other and are constantly at each others throats (they're working together to benefit from the same object), the theory has perfect grounds.

10c2 = 45 only, not 90
