Eleven: SFV's Missed Opportunity

Hope you don't mind the shorter more opinionated vid, I've been at like 10% the last couple days, so being grumpy at this blob I don't care for seemed like ideal self care (:

You have NO CLUE how excited I was to see his image!...only for Capcom to reveal he was a random button

I don't mind that he's a random select character. But I was just hoping he would switch character between rounds. That would have been super fun and given him more of a purpose

As one of the few Twelve mains on earth, I've never expected him to come back, and just seeing him in general makes me happy? But I genuinely don't know WHY HE ISN'T A MIRROR MATCH BUTTON? That'd be such a massive flex of, "yeah I'm picking Eleven, go ahead pick your main, I'm better, fuck you.", and it'd feel like a successor to the rush of going XCOPY.

They could’ve given him have a taunt that re-randomizes him for some meter, or at least re-randomize after each round.

They should have made him like Mokujin from Tekken, random every round. Hope to see him again in SF6, hopefully as a proper character, whatever the replacement of Vskill and trigger will be maybe one of them could be him transforming into someone random.

What they could have done is something that I've always wanted in a fighting game, a Mirror Match character. Back in playing smash I always wished Ditto was an little extra bonus character that forced you into playing your opponent's character. Like going online and seeing how far you can go constantly having to play your opponent's character would have been a really fun extra little thing. When I saw Eleven I was really hoping that's what they were doing, but not so. I've always wondered if anyone else has ever had that idea, cause I love it personally.

I would've 100% preferred if Eleven was Twelve but good in a similar way to how G is Q but good, and would've replaced Rose with them in a heartbeat.

I think Eleven would have had a lot more charm if instead of transforming, he just stayed in his regular form and mimicked a characters moveset like that. I know his and Twelve's thing is that they transform but the way they just kinda slapped Eleven on in here makes it feel like they should have just been alternate outfits for each character if you want the funny voice filter.

What if they just went wild and had eleven change every round

When Eleven was announced, I thought it was gonna be a "different character every round" kind of deal. That would've been hype.

Imagine if they did Eleven play like Mokujin from Tekken : after every round your character changes. Edit : that's also why Mokujin is so interesting: you need to know how to play the entire cast, AND to quickly recognise every idle stance to know which character is copied.

I thought since the beginning eleven should change to a new character between rounds, that would at least be interesting and make them meaningfully different from throwing a dart at a board every time you start a match. Either that or give them unique a vsystem/super that they use regardless of the character they turn into, giving characters you already know some different tools could be really fun

I pray we see Twelve again in SF6 as a full character, I miss that funky little fella

Imagine if Eleven had a super that allowed him to change into another randomly selected character. That would be very fun

Personally, I would have liked it to be possible to choose to play with Eleven without transforming but still having the random character moveset, mainly because its normal design is kinda funny and it would have served as an interesting element for the story, with Eleven being able to copy the other characters moves but not their appearance like Twelve.

“People love twelve, he’s adorable” shows horrifying walk animation (seriously mini jumpscare wtf)

It’d be cool if when you picked Eleven, he’d get a completely random character, V-Skill, and V-Trigger every round. It’d be cool working with all the different combinations between the three different parts.

I wished eleven was a character made of a lot of other characters like double in skullgirls where he changes with each move

A thought that came to mind is: What would it be like if Eleven had an established set of normals, but his special moves mimicked his opponent? It would, at the very least, be very fun to play around with, even if some matchups don’t become as good as you’d expect
