Capcom, you are spoiling us
The next roster addition to Capcom’sStreet Fighter Vis ready to brawl, as mysterious fortune teller Menat is now available for download.
The “Eyes of the Future”, making herStreet Fighterdebut, is the game’s first real attempt at a “puppet” fighter; a character who uses an array gimmicks that can be setup for later use, or recalled. This is a play-style you see inmanyArcSys characters. It’s a cool concept, but I stand by my notion thatStreet Fighter Vis game designed to favour the more simplistic, hard-hitting characters, rather than the gimmicky, high-execution ones.
There are already some great combo videos emerging in the community, but I see Menat falling into the same category as characters such as Juri and FANG, cool concepts, clever setups and impressive chains but, in live battle or a tournament situation, simply not as cost-effective, resourceorexecution-wise, as a YOLO three-move-into-Super from the Balrogs, Abigails and Guiles of the world.
I really like the character and design of Menat, plus she’s a friend of my main girl Rose, so I do want to be provenverywrong. In related news, logging intoStreet Fighter Vin the immediate future will bag you a free gift of 30,000 Fight Money. That’s not even enough to buy one of her legs.
