I wonder who the first DLC character they release is gonna be. I'm thinking its either Juri or Guile.

Do you play 3rd Strike on PSN at all?
Play 3rd Strike, its a thing of beauty to me.

I'm thinking Guile or Rog. My heart wants Urien tho. Give me that HD Aegis Reflector.

What sucks is that they probably won't have his 3S VA. There's a possibility that Capcom forgot that he makes metal sounds when he blocks an attack too.

This opening animation will look so great in HD:
I think there was an extracredits where they talked about betas/demos not making much of a difference in terms of sales (maybe was just demos don't remember).

I really doubt Urien is up first, but it'd be pretty awesome if we was. Whoever's first will probably be available day one (just me guessing), so they might put in Guile since he's the most popular from that list.

Probably not. Hopefully they can at least get someone who sounds almost identical.

Get hype for that HD banana hammock.

Top 5 most annoying characters to fight against

CVS2 Blanka tho

That's what I was thinking too. It's the closest thing to SF3's multiple super meter. I wonder what his V skill would be tho.
Dammit! Now I'm hungry.
Yes. Blanka would be one of the few who ignites my salt meter.
Yeah, fuck all of this.
All of it.
Fuck it.
Except the GOAT part, that's close enough to being true.

A character reveal, maybe?
With the continual decline in impressions across the betas, I feel like it would be in Capcom's best interest to give us one last play that's close to the final version, and hopefully it makes people happy.

playing a fighting game on a pad is like trying to play the piano on a tv remote

Does total body invincibility include throw invincibility?
Tell that to Smug and Knuckle Du.
It depends on the pad. 360 pad is like trying to play with a piece of plywood, I don't know how people do it. Digital PS pad, SCPH-1180 and Saturn pad especially are good.
It usually does, especially for DPs.

Roll canceling was fun. I know a majority of players didn't obtain proficiency in it until way too late in the game's life, but it was fun. My opinion - RC gave characters more options and was a good thing for the game. Bad due to 'execution barriers,' but good because options. Characters who were already top-tier benefited further from it, but even low-tier gained some cool stuff by using it. I would take greater issue with CCs than RCs (despite loving custom combos).
Getting caught by blocked jab into CC while you were P or K groove was a little annoying.
Just talked to the venue. Every Queen listing in the tower is double queen beds. If you click the listing it shows you an outdated photo pre-renovation with 2 beds. Post renovations is still 2 beds though.
The one time I really had fun with using Blanka is Hyper Fighting. Don't really care for him much in the other games, especially 4.
I never tried Blanka in CvS2 though. However, the thought of roll cancel inputs on a pianoing special scares me. lol
I was never great at RCing in that game, but this was many years ago.

i was about to ask about this. how do you roll cancel a piano input anyways? that seems ridiculous.
RC electricity isn't extraordinarily difficult. The way I did it was to piano LP~MP~HP, then input LP+LK~MP. The input is a little weird, but no more so than trying to do mashed specials with precision in other SF games (and I'm glad they're gone in SF5, heh).
I checked with Rick. The Tower Room options are either 1 king-size bed or 2 queen-size beds. The Golf Room options are either 1 queen-size bed or 2 double-size beds. I haven't been there myself, so I don't know too much more than that.

Beta withdrawals rn
shoulda stayed away like Kadey
shoulda stayed away like Kadey
I watched some people played it. Art seems to have the best Sim right now. Valle seems like he knows more about the game's mechanics than anybody right now. Justin is getting blown up by everybody. Floe has a really good Laura. Champ is looking to main Nash, we'll see how long that lasts if he's different from final build.

I played the beta and codblops. So I had my cannon spikes and getting wrecked pins.
I posted the ASCII stick impression in the dc thread
The SF5 beta was funny for me: I could not get a single game in matchmaking on PS4 but once I got the PC build running (with fun issues like the image not scaling properly to my monitor and my stick not being detected even in X360 mode) that was a relatively smooth experience (and I was getting matches for days, which is weird since my PC and PS4 are on the same network). It was also rather performant at 1080p on my R9 270X, running at 60fps clean while looking roughly the same as the PS4 build. So I'm not even sure which version to get now (especially since I'm looking at a PC upgrade next year that should just crush my old setup).

I only had issues the first couple of hours it was open on the first day. Smooth sailing after that (PC FWIW). Hopefully the hiccups ensure a solid launch day tho.

here are bafaels thoughts on sf5 atm. i agree with him about blockstrings being very serious and risky to contest leading to a more turn based kind of game.

I live 15 minutes from the new Combo Breaker venue 
Was almost the same for me. Updated SF V, no matches for 30 minutes. Restarted my PS4 and got matches constantly. It was odd. I am wondering if it didn't update properly til reset or thought I was on the old version til I closed / reopened the app.
