So it took a while but I got all the background/borders/icons for all the characters (well, the ones you get from winning X times with a specific character) in MKX. All that's left is the sets from the weekly tours, which are unfortunately random. Heh, actually, after completing last week's Valentine tower, the only holiday tower I have left is the Christmas one, which unfortunately I'm never around for since I'm in NY for Christmas.
So now I'm on Street Fighter V. I didn't realize how much the updated Arcade edition breathed new life into the game for me. Mostly its all about the arcade mode, where I actually get to play normal matches, as opposed to the general and individual story modes. So I've gotten to learn the system more, as well as all the characters. That is a lot of characters though. I've completed the arcade modes for sf1, 2, and 3, almost through with alpha, though 4 and 5 are the ones with the most characters. And presumably as the season 3 DLC characters are released, they'll be inserted into the arcade modes.
Blanka comes out tomorrow, so presumably he'll show up in the SF2 and SFV modes. Cody will prolly be in Alpha, 4, and 5, while Sagat will prolly be in 1, 2, Alpha, 4, and 5. But yeah, since I've been saving 4 and 5 for last, haven't really gotten to mess with the newest characters. Well, except for Kolin, since they include her in the SF3 mode for some reason, even though she wasn't really playable until V, and Abigail, because they threw him in SF1, maybe because he was in Final Fight? Oh, and Laura was also included in SF3, I guess because she's Sean's sister? Thus, haven't really gotten to mess with Rashid, Necalli, F.A.N.G. or Ed.
But yeah, the SF2/Alpha characters play mostly the same. Never played SF3, but I do like SFV's version's of Alex and Urien. Heh, and I'd only played my girl Juri from SFIV on a demo at a Fry's (though I did beat he game with her), so its nice to get to play her for real. But yeah, she, Laura, and Kolin have been pretty fun to play. Its funny, because in the old game, I was better at the charge characters. But now I do better with the fireball motion characters.
