Of course this ended up on the bottom of the last page :|
Just curious, anyone here from the Dallas area? I'll be there for Wrestlemania in early April so just curious if y'all have weekend meetups or barfights or anything?
I saw a Texas Bar Fights group on Facebook but they haven't posted anything since October.
Trying to get drunk and play fighting games first weekend of April so lmk

When the animation & limbs doesn't match the hit/hurtbox or startup/active, its infuriating. I wonder if Gief's normals got nubbed like Ryu's
Oh god, you are one of those notworksafe? I thought you were are too old for that.

I never bothered to think of a tier-list of even a top 5, it's just that the only character I can think of as having a major weakness at the moment is Bison (assuming you're playing someone who won't just let you triple dash at them, chasing the opponent when you don't have a lead is probably going to suck) and I'm still not sure that alone would make him bottom tier. Nash and Vega lack invincible reversals that aren't Super which is obviously a negative, but they have great buttons (plus the latter has that walkspeed) and it's going to be about which situation arises more often when assessing how big of a weakness they actually have. Right now it seems the neutral game matters much more than wake-up situations so I still think they don't have much of a problem.
If we're talking about Karin's strengths, it's going to take some practice to be consistently buffering Karin's jf launcher during cr.MK and qcb+LP during st.MP (the latter for counterpoking/whiff punishing standing moves, you need to know how far you can stand and still combo) but I think this is part of what will make her neutral more of a threat. I don't really see a lack of tools to function here so she could be outclassed by some characters but I don't expect her to drop to non-viable, the overall foundation just seems too solid for that.

Luckily this year is at the Cowboys stadium so there's that ridiculous TV. But my seats aren't bad I think. We'll see!

Karin showing SF still has some modicum of class (barely).
Speaking of Oro... I think I've got some 3S footage of him I can upload in the future! That will be fun to watch. Let me tell you I wasn't expecting unblockables.
Looks more like footsies and spacing than keepaway but that was some truly mind breaking ish. What in the world was Capcom thinking? 3S will forever be a good game at best with Chunners at the top.

speaking of karin, i do honestly think that "i'll show you the divide in our class" is the best opening line i've ever heard in a fighting game.
just a single spoken line tells us everything about the character and her personality (elegant, well off and ruthless at the same time).

maybe i should play more fighting games before i make such hyperbole statements

WB doesn't give a fuck about PC anymore, geez. I guess they don't want to rehire High Voltage?
Eh that seems more like Aiku not knowing what to do. Every character has an ideal range to play at, and despite how good her buttons are, she and no one else can keep pressing buttons willy nilly. Rikimaru kept Dudley at the range he wanted him where he can't score anything but a fierce poke until he wanted to super him. Reset into successful super was a nice bonus.
Actually I think Elena might be a better example of keepaway. She plays a bit like Chun with just buttons+ kara throw but I don't think she has a low confirm so it's just pressing the right button to kick the other character away and kara throw shenanigans. The matchup against Oro is pretty similar to Chun and actually the Yun matchup is also kind of similar. She can deal with divekick pressure better than many. The Alex and Hugo matchups are torture. Nothing but poking them away and then scoring a throw into healing. But like with every matchup except for Twelve mirrors probably footsies are involved.
Oro is all about unblockables depending on the matchup. He destroys Alex due to his low jump and Alex not being very good at keeping him out.

Maybe, but she's still good for now.
Time for the PC scene to start buying better 'Merican fighting games. Everyone should buy SG when it is on sale. It's cheaper than a stop at the gas station now thanks to OPEC.
Elena is a pain the ass to fight for me (including Ken and Remy). I'd rather deal with Chun than the poking machine that Elena is. Even with Oro you just have to not let him set up unblockables. Elena just pulls a Cartman and does whatever she wants. Fighting Yun is kinda fun because the match gets full of grab techs.

You have my sympathy. The way WB is treating PC players is awful.

She's inside the mouth?
Don't know why i expected chest like a mech
Really want to see gameplay

Charlie managed to bulk up with half his body being dead / reattached. Hard to fuck with someone like that.
I'm pretty sure online Ken can still kick her ass, not sure about Remy but she is still cancer on fightcade. So many multi-hitting highs, weird and annoying overheads and dumb hitbox make her the best troll character after like 100ms. Ex dp is the worst.

You need to play more fighting games. I think Urien's entry animation is one of the best all around openings.

I think her head is normally chest height based on the image from the famitsu article, its just that on hit (knockback) her head moves up as the mech suit bends
WB then. It's still completely fucked.
ah
Is she straight up controlling him and a suit or is he his own thing ?
Can't tell if he is alive or not
ShadowSoldier89

hes just a suit she made
blazblue has a lot of matchup specific openings. If any librarium members start a match against each other they recite the oath before the fight. Hazama recites this in the laziest most I dont give a fuck way possible

Literally doubling down on their PC fuckery for this game. Feel bad for the people who bought it on PC.
Nice.
Would be weird if she was in there while he randomly fights people
Doesn't make it seem like there could be someone inside with the way they made him look. Even Pot looks more like a mech/power suit

Is this Guilty Gear?

yes, 2 new characters for revelator
They had a dog with goggles and his owner piloting a giant toothy monster from inside its mouth, so, yeah, this is par for the course.

Remy is simultaneously annoying and super cool in action. I can't deal with it at all, but he looks so smooth and cool in motion that I can't help respecting him. The combination of low, mid-height, EX double and super sonic booms is crazy. His forward moving kick special is actually neat too. It's too bad SFV will never know the power of ottermode tactics.
Makes me wonder what the sales would be if refunds had been available at the time of it's release.
This is ASW, so I wouldn't be surprised if the suit possesses some sort of space distorting ability like the The Doctor's TARDIS machine.

Looks nice
Not at best, it's confirmed she will be in the game. Sorry if I missunderstood.
Also, if ArcSys somehow made Raven or another old character put in Revelator, they would make a really great expansion with 6 more characters overall, but not complaining, 5 is good already.

This is what, year two? At least it's likely they'll do more in the coming/next year.
I wonder how much of the old cast they'll end up bringing back when all is said and done.
That girl is actually a timelord and the inside is huge lol
We need a Doctor Who fighter.
I thought so, just wasn't 1000% sure.
Yeah, but when will I get the old characters I want?! And I'd hate for them to Bring back Robo-Ky and base him on his new design. Old one was better. In fact, bring him back as an old model as is with some wear and tear in his design.
