A Guile v. Nash grand finals between those two would be so hype.
Daigo does this om infil in the grand finals
^implying daigo will reach grand finals at a major, let alone at evo this year

more like Poongko does this to eliminate Daigo from top 8, potentially with a perfect.

all these people thinking guile will be the answer to infiltration, when it's more likely that infiltration will use guile himself
Yeah, Daigo hasn't been a threat at EVO for the last few years, and based on his performance in SF V right now it looks like it will continue.

Probably talking about the glitch kindevus been posting on twitter https://twitter.com/kindevu no idea how to replicate it though.
Has anyone shown the same things happen when guile is blocking, crouching, or walking forward?
Something definitely seems to be up during his idle animation.

What a coincidence. King and King of Dinosaurs are two of my potential characters! :-O
King of Dinosaur's 100% confirmed to be 100% King and 100% Dinosaur.
Also the sand dude, Freddie Kruger, and a few others I haven't seen enough of.

Watched some KVO yesterday and I keep wanting to learn Blazblue, but end up dropping interest partway through. One of these days...

I have the same problem. Its a game I am always thrilled by when I play it but for some reason I never stick to it. It seems to be my tweener title. If I'm waiting on something I remember to play it. Otherwise new fighters tend to bury it in my library.
That reminds me...I need to practice more Koihime and Melty Blood.

I think you can find the latest* version relatively cheap now if you want a head start.
*the current one on console
It's going to be crazy when he was using Nash the whole tournament and then counter picks with guile

King of Dinosaur's 100% confirmed to be 100% King and 100% Dinosaur.
He's too dinosaur, pls nerf SNK.
It doesn't mean I just play top tiers if I chose them cos of their coolness in the first place

I don't see infiltration switching from Nash to Guile.
I played a few hours of Guile last night. People can feel free to correct me here as these are just my personal impressions:
*Guile combos are pretty hard for me. I haven't struggled in any of the combo challenges yet but his took a while due to the charge combos. I wish his charge time was lowered for a scrub like me, seems out of place in a game like SFV.
*L Sonic Boom doesn't have the same anti air utility anymore. Like if someone is jumping right in front of you the Boom is now more likely to go just under them rather than catch them jumping in. There's a reason for this.
*Can't do America's favorite combo anymore except maybe in corner but it's better to do some other combo in that situation (talking about back HP x 2). Major bummer for me.
*Another bummer is you can't do upside kick into cr.MP. Not only that but upside down kick can't be used by holding back, can only be used by doing forward HK which again makes combos after harder. And the only combo I could find was counter cr.LP into special after it. Not as good as in SF4.
*cr HP doesn't pop them up as much so they are still very close to you afterwards. Not a big issue. Also it starts up slower from the looks of it which makes it easier to get snuffed.
*Flask Kicks don't appear to be invincible.
*Overhead is a lot slower. Online everyone easily blocked it.
*St LK MK target combo is pretty nice though.
*Guile's normals are still pretty good despite most other characters having stubbier than normal limbs.
*Air throw is still pretty good for the most part.
*That slow crouch walk is done by just holding down forward. It's alright, not crazy or anything.
*Now we get to the good stuff... the V Skill is AMAZING! It feels like such a natural fit for Guile that I am now surprised that we used to play Guile without this tool. It gives Guile something to do instead of just holding down back. You can do this move out of crouch block while retaining your Flash Kick and Sonic Boom charges. You can throw it out like a Light Sonic Boom in the older games if you expect them to jump and they might either jump in it (and you get a small juggle). It also absorbs fireballs so with this it's near impossible for other fireball characters to gain advantage over Guile as it should be as Guile is supposed to be a specialist. The Booms that come out of it are double hit durability so it's like throwing EX fireballs all the time. The whole V Skill sets up a whole new layer of mind games in the neutral as you keep the opponent guessing on what you want to do. The V skill also allows you to build V skill pretty quickly despite Guile having a 3 bar Trigger.
*V trigger is cool but I have not tapped into it's potential yet. Yea yeah it allows Guile to do a bunch of insane fancy combos but it's application in neutral is very strong because you can really pile up the chip damage with it.
*Sonic Hurricane seems better than before. You can actually combo this off of a Flack Kick if you cancel super fast (not that easy to do) . Only issue is that it competes with the EX meter for Guile and you kinda need the bar for EX Flash Kicks and EX Booms.
*Back fist and Straight crush counters are pretty good. You get a solid combo off of back fist and Straight crush counters creates a lot of space for you. At close range you want to frame trap with st. HP CCwhich goes into d/f HK into EX Flash Kick.
*Basic combos for Guile are really limited compared to other characters.
I think the new V Skill/Trigger stuff save Guile because without those I would've been super disappointed with Guile. I wish he had easier basic combos to do white retaining his fancy V trigger shenanigans. The V skill is excellent though and is a definite scrub killer.

After you win turn around and say "Tell 'em about my Necalli"
If Kadey can bop you then does that mean she's better than Daigo?

How can you be a fangirl for someone below you
I kind of wonder how many sponsors pass on Art because they think he's already sponsored.

I thought SF5 was supposed to get improved matchmaking?
It's only gotten worse. Now i'm barely getting any ranked matches at all.

That's what you get for expecting Capcom to actually improve things.
congrats to Julio for becoming the first American player to get picked up by an esports team solely due to merit in sfv.
I just don't get why lobby search is so broken for me since release.

Yeah, sometimes I wonder how Art isn't sponsored: but then I see the shit he embraces on his streams which provide a moment of clarity.
If he's really desiring sponsorship; he really doesn't get it.

I'm actually bummed out he didn't go for a max damage punish at the end. Yeah I know that would have only added maybe 15 more damage, but get as many hits as you can and make it as long as possible.
Looks like Chris T won a tournament in the wrong week. Or maybe they did see it and saw Chris's accent impressions and were like "nope".
I don't understand Art's attitude. It's like he's being all snarky about it on Twitter and, for lack of a better phrase, exuding professionalism.
