slept in until 11AM...always good to take the monday after a tourney off
Bring Elena back so we can get the Elena mirror match Top 16 we deserve
I admit I'm conflicted. On one hand, I enjoyed Gamerbee trying to outlast Infiltration with all those healings, but on the other hand, she could also be just as bad as Ken, lol
Side note: I do want a major Top 8 be all Morrigans though.
;P

Yeah, after watching the Daigo stream and LI Joe taking champ to suplex city this weekend it sort of dawned on me that repeatedly throwing someone on wakeup is a legit gameplan in SFV. It can be a lot of damage and stun very quickly if someone likes to quickrise, and opens up more options if they start to respect it.

Why did I just waste a minute looking through the capture of that desktop for anything inflammatory. Found nothing though, except for same old drama.
What? The video is about Leffen ragequitting. Don't know why you were focused on the other dude desktop.

One random nobody is as important as another random nobody.
Wasn't Daigo saying on his stream last week that Ken isn't that good or something?

nah I know it's real it's just what it needs to be called
How would Yun fit into the new system? I would imagine his VT enhances his Genei Jin even faster once you get full meter, lol

If there's anything I learned from previous fighting game launches, it's that night one has any idea about how good the characters actually are.

momochi's got a more fundamental style ken from what I've seen.
They said japan thinks ken isnt strong while europe think ken is top

Line, why would KBR wanna switch up his great team to use Morrigan? Come on man!!
I think we have a good grasp of what the characters tools are but not how those tools will play out in match ups yet.

Can it be today/tonight. Get that early hype?
Because I love seeing Hulk die a slow death and drones vanishing. Sorry, Haggar.

That Haggar lariat to avoid the Phoenix super was insane though

that's not quite right. He said the reasoning he is maining Ryu is because he felt Ryu had more potential.

I think they also said something along the lines of Ken feeling a little weird in this game, but yeah, he prefers Ryu and mentioned liking his back step

I feel like my neutral is exposed. I don't know what to do out of standing MP range with Cammy.
walk in?
Can't play VF5 online anymore?

in battle lounge, I prefer FT3, but that's just me. I'm fine with the current layout for tournament play; only doing 3/5 for the losers, winners and grand final matches.
Maybe they're taking it down cause VF6 will launch with an entirely new infrastructure!
Cr.MK is the best. Also st.MK.
On block you do walk up another st.MP if they are the defensive type. Or just straight up walk up throw.
I like doing st.MP, st.MP.cr.MK. After the second st.MP if you know they will press a button after you can do crush counter st HK or forward HK. Forward HK is her go to shimmy move (after HK Spiral Arrow, walk up then walk back forward HK). You can also replace forward HK with st.HP but that's harder to react to if you land it.
When you get far enough you can do st.MK (they block at tip). then buffer a cr.MK Spiral Arrow to catch them pressing buttons afterwards. Cr.MP works here too, depends on what normal they want to press.

doing what 3D games do and doing 2/3 rounds instead of FT3 is another option

That's more complicated for street fighter though because of meter being carried on through rounds.
ShadowSoldier89

good point, though that dynamic could be interesting
Honestly meter management between rounds feels pretty marginal in SFV compared to 4. Since you aren't saving up for FADC and the fact that meter builds really quickly, I don't think it would matter that much.

Thanks. I need to learn better block string after st. MP, cr MP then standing MK or cr. MK.
I should stagger or just one st.MP then throw or mix in that forward HK to counter Nash's and Ryu's cr MK.
Also, frustrating to deal with Ryu's that make blockstring to Fireball just out of range to punish it. Pointblank, no problem. After standing mp, cr. mp cr mp fireball, its just out of reach.

Someone tally how many Phoenixes KBR had to kill to win that tournament. Regular and Dark count separately.
Holy Order Sol

Unless you're Nash or Fang yeah that seems to be the case. Still you'll sometimes see people avoid burning that CA when they lost the first round.
He had to have killed at least 13 total (not counting respawning). Not sure about regular vs dark.
Just make a tournament thread on the weekends where a big tournament is taking place. Don't need to make a thread every week because on weekends where there isn't much going on, people won't see it.
It's only week two, and premier tournaments already mandate 3/5 for top 8 for SF. I don't see why you need to make an entire tournament 3/5 at this point. Things will slow down once people get adjusted to SFV, and personally, I love the excitement that 2/3 brings.
