Charge moves are bad outdated game design.

ITT OP cannot into charge partitioning or just got bodied by a Boxer/Claw.

quite sure he just doesn't like fighting guile.

I also hate fighting guile in pretty much every sf.

You're stupid.

I don't think there's anything wrong with charge moves. I just don't know why they exist. How can you not accomplish the same exact thing with a quarter circle?

>>383846278
Everyone gets bodied by Boxer

some people prefer different styles of play, I prefer charge to quarter circle moves

>>383846769
Charge moves are more restrictive and thus can be made into more powerful attacks because of the way their inputs work
The perfect example of this is the 3DS version of Street Fighter IV where you can rebind attacks to a single button and Guile becomes a death machine because he can perform advancing Flashkicks which are not otherwise possible.

It fits a different play style. Charge characters tend to be much more defensive, I don't see anything wrong with encouraging different styles of play it adds variety.

I hate characters that are hybrid charge and normal, like modern Chun.

I got Tekken 7 today and decided to start out playing Steve on a whim
I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing but he's fun as shit

it annoys me that his flag tattoos is facing the wrong direction

If they did it the correct way, all the simpletons would complain that it's backwards.

Dictator, Boxer, and Claw are all very aggressive characters though.

>>383845937
Charge motions were intended to simplify special inputs but ironically ended up becoming a pleb filter.

>>383848424
Aggressive Guile has been a thing since original SF2 as well:

Charge inputs are a great way to give characters overpowered tools by limiting their usage. It encourages defensive play and opens up the possibility for different playstyles. You can find creative ways to get around the limitations and that is what makes it interesting. It is in place as a limit but the goal of the player is to find the most efficient way to weaken the limit. Guiles bazooka knee is a common example because you can charge while still moving forward.

If anything, i would argue that regular fireball inputs are fairly arbitrary considering they arent a limit on the player in any way.

>>383846769
For Guile in particular, its lets them make his Boom really, really good, with the caveat that you can't advance and just throw one whenever. You gotta take that time to get your charge, either by parking it and waiting, or hiding it in another action, whereas you basically always have access to a normal motion. This is the reason that most charge characters are fucking crazy in 3DS SF4, where you could just have a touchscreen shortcut for specials that he could whip out whenever.

Fighting games in general have stagnant design because the "fanbase" for the genre refuses to acknowledge any game that actually introduces new mechanics.
