Secret tech? Sounds exciting.

I did like how he busted out that gale 2x in a row to take the first round of the last game. You didn't see him go to that much before then.

I felt the gale blowing. I thought he'd go for another one too.

Street fighter is so much faster than marvel. The constant split second decision making never ends

Street Fighter confirmed faster game than Marvel!

In marvel, you get to relax and think 20 seconds ahead while you're comboing or getting comboed

Mika in this game makes me think she'd be a candidate for Marvel 4. Assists on assists.

Wait, what? Momochi? I had no idea.

I don't see Arturo. No real crazy pools of death here

 

[Infinite]

Surprised that Pokken has such mature figures.

They're kinda reminiscent of the side game characters.

 

[call_kotaku]

Pool 50 seems like the only one that's stacked

Chris Hu, Keno, Ranmasama, and Gilty all in that pool

 

[Karsticles]

They're kinda reminiscent of the side game characters.

Don't they usually have more childish figures?

 

[QisTopTier]

Don't they usually have more childish figures?

Only the main character and some npcs.

Plenty of older characters

 

[Nyoro SF]

Only the main character and some npcs.

Plenty of older characters

Pokemon has always skewed older in every game. Pretty much every significant side character and gym leader is an adult, now that I think about it.

 

[Sinatar]

Well they definitely went out of their way to build the pools for maximum hype potential for the later stages of the tournament. Should be a fun weekend.

 

[Karsticles]

How do you play Pokken? Is it with that little SNES-junk controller they use at arcades?

Street Fighter confirmed faster game than Marvel!

Every game feels faster when you are new at it. Once your brain and eyes adjust, everything slows down because you are comfortable. The first time you go driving, all of the other cars are a swirl of dangerous chaos that could hit you at any second. After years of driving, you're so bored you daydream.

He's said this before. This isn't some new impression that he has gained from one month of SF5 as someone is trying to frame it as.

Snake probably does. The real question is, is anyone gonna know the Zangief match up better than him?

I feel like Final Round is going to be like Capcom Cup. Everyone prepares for Elena/Momochi and then they end up losing left field to something else.

 

[Seyavesh]

im expecting fuudo to win

sf5 seems like his type of game in it's design
dude is the god of midrange buttoning/waiting

That, pro pad, or wii u pad

He makes SF into Vf

 

[Karsticles]

Any disadvantages to the pro pad for this particular game?

Now we just need to hear about the netcode.

i can't see any reason to buy a controller specific to pokken unless you just want to. wii u pro controller is great though if you don't already have one.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

When is this March update?!

Its kinda sad that I want Daily grinds/challenges.

 

[skLaFarebear]

When is this March update?!

Probably around the end of March

Spoiler

2017

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

central fiction's march arcade update is 3/31

 

[BadWolf]

Still feel like Infiltration is the strongest contender.

 

[Infinite]

Wiiu pro controller

 

[pizzacat]

I meant for local play against someone else. I don't really mind, I've actually enjoyed using the tablet thing for most games tbh

I want that shop lol

local play one has to be on the gamepad and for the other player wii u pro is great, but if you already have a wii classic controller pro there's no real reason to spend money. all up to you.

 

[MrDaravon]

Still feel like Infiltration is the strongest contender.

Agreed. It's hard to tell at this point in general though, so many unknowns. A lot of top players haven't directly played each other yet, I feel like there's a lot of players we just haven't seen much of yet etc. This is maybe the most excited I've ever been for a tournament barring Evo, if then even.

FINAL ROUND POOLS IS OUT!!

Are they going to pair up pool 1 with pool 64, pool 2 with pool 63, and so on?

 

[Lulubop]

I really think America has the strongest players rn and we'll take final round and have a good shot at ncr.

 

[Sayad]

Looks like it from the seeding.

 

[Sayad]

US probably have the strongest chance they ever had in an SF game with international competition in the past 15 years, tbh.

 

[Sinatar]

If the US doesn't win Final Round, then all Americans will need to finally admit they are ass. Always have been ass and always will be ass. This is the best shot they've ever had.

Spoiler

US ain't winning shit

 

[Line_HTX]

It feels like whenever someone says what month, it's always the end of the month or next month...

 

[skLaFarebear]

Having a lot of difficulty finding people to play in the SFV OT. Anyone here wanna run a few sets?

 

[jediyoshi]

Yusuke Murata (One Punch Man manga artist) illustrated a new SF novel in Japan. 8 color illustrations and 48 b&w.

Elena doing Elena things

You'd probably have an easier time finding opponents if you at the very least mentioned your location.

My fault. Did it in the OT but forgot to post it here.

East Coast/US

According to this, yes: https://smash.gg/tournament/final-round-19/brackets/11882/19110

Edit: Though I wouldn't say that it is evident from the pool assignments that this will be done. At the moment, Tokido, Momochi, and Kazunoko are all slated to be in a Round 2 pool together.

2nd Edit: Also Dakou is in 2 pools somehow.

Yeah, Xian (on site reg), Art, Dieminion?, and a few others are missing too.
