Hi y’all!

So I have been working on this one a little more lately and wanted to update all of you on what is being done. Seeing as how Street Fighter V was released while my game was being developed, and the game mechanics were oddly similar to what I had planned for this game, I got a bit discouraged about continuing work on this game. But I have recently come up with an idea to make my game feel fresh and new and have decided to continue work on this one.

New WIP Character Select w/16 characters

Street Fighter V vs Street Fighter MAX

Firstly I want to address the similarities of my game and SFV. The idea of Street Fighter MAX was basically 2 fold; to create a classic Street Fighter game with legacy characters and an x-factor-style comeback mechanic and second to experiment with a story mode for fighting games using the UDON comics. Once SFV was released I saw that their aim was nearly the exact same concept as SF MAX. V-trigger is basically my “MAXIMUM” function and V-skill and V-reversal were also in my game. Additionally these mechanics were mapped to the exact same buttons on the controller. I’m not saying they copied me or anything like that but it really felt pointless to continue making the same game as capcom. Now rumors are that the latest characters will include Urien and Oro making their character select roster look identical to mine. Now I believe that this was just the natural next step in the evolution of street fighter and these similarities are pure coincidence. In addition I also wanted my game to be a platform where new characters would constantly be added until every character was in the game, which is what capcom is doing with DLC.

So what now?

Ive been thinking about continuing this project SF MAX lately due to the criticisms that SFV has been receiving. The idea was to create a legacy game for the fans that would continue the evolution of fighting games. What I plan to include in upcoming updates is a whole new story mode that will allow you to make choices and have alternate endings AND new game mechanics that are distinct from the SFV game mechanics AND lastly new animations for supers in order to keep the game feeling fresh.

Truly for the FANS

My hope is to receive feedback from the community to know what characters you want in the game and what game mechanics you might want to see.

so…

What do you want from a new STREET FIGHTER GAME???
