America to finally have a good Street Fighter player?

I did that at a Smash party once. Sometimes people don't wanna make a new name to disable Tap Jump, so for the nametag we have for it I switched all the buttons to Jump. The reaction was hilarious!
You'd think so, but...
Button checks where you try to get use to the setup instead of just checking buttons.

Practice doesn't get you used to individual setups and input lag. Helps players that are more visual with combos rather than timing
I'd be really interested to see how a 'introductory' air dasher would do. Like if you take Xrds system mechanics and:
-remove Blitz Shield
-remove Instant Block
-remove Negative Penalty
-remove Danger Time
-buff Bursts (increase the hitbox of blue burst so that they can only fail if the opposing player makes a hard read and stops their combo early, which is fine)
-(maybe) auto FD in the air if meter is available and auto FD to prevent chip death
-(maybe) remove instant kills: they have esoteric rules for comboing into them, and they dont matter too often.
-(maybe) standardize wake-up timings: character-specific timings just unnecessarily forces memorization of a bunch of extra stuff. If oki gets too strong, nerf oki tools on a character-by-character basis.
...and then design and balance the game around those things, what would you end up with? (especially if your aimed at character designs with a bit more universal appeal than you often see in the sub genre) ¯\_(ツ_/¯
This, albeit with some caveats below.
I feel like a big part of that was also due to Raven having simple yet strong and effective high-low mixups on oki when using even the most basic of stuff though. A character that can effectively win rounds starting from one knockdown - akin to the likes of Zato and Milia and such - seems more likely to steal matches from matchup inexperience than those with weaker oki potential / less ambiguous stuff.
IMO, SFV mostly isn't the same sort of game, or at least one where ambiguous mixups off knockdown is as rampant. I'm not concerned about Boxer introducing this problem. Ibuki has potential though. Keeping an eye out for the tech found and shared would combat this some, or at least help against the basic scrub-killing stuff.

I like how this sentence is full of ways you can basically end up being told to fuck off lol

That was the best top 3 ever, and, yes, not the most fair data point to compare to.
But compared, it will be.
God fucking damn
I only know of two people in the Melee community who dislike the long hand warmers: Mango and Scar. Scar is more of a personality now, but I remember him having to stop commentating for a second so he could tell M2k and someone else (Armada?) to start their match, after spending a week warming up. Most everyone else seems OK with it. :/
I think at a big top 8 like EVO, it's reasonable to want to warm up somewhere before you play. But once you're on that stage, there definitely needs to be an enforced time limit.

My understanding is that hand warmers were supposed to be limited to 30 seconds. This is from a Smash playing friend

I actually kind of like playing cold.

I always button check, never know what kind of wacky setup was put in by the person before you.

That's because you Virtua Fighter senior citizens only use 3 buttons!

There's also no need to worry about what the last person had as a button setup. Chances are, there wasn't a last person.

Brutal 1-2 from Beef and NWS.
Watching T7, how do you know when to combo, if its counterhit, what is safe or not?

This cheer thing is just a way for Amazon/Twitch to bring the money that people are using 3rd party services for in house. The problem is they're being so vague on who gets what from the split if any, and really benefits the streamers who are already huge on Twitch and have followers with hundreds of dollars to blow on tips. I'm watching one right now to see this feature in action.
Hand warmers are fine. The problem is you shouldn't have all the time in the world to practice combos, look at notes, talk to a coach, stare at the character select screen, view a laptop, etc. The TO/judge needs to keep things moving.

of course, but you can do that in control config. No need to actually go in game and do moves.

I remember ceo getting 82k last year. Meanwhile both European premiers did better this year than last year.

Until every game gives me a way to test in controller config, I'll be button checking in game.

Infiltration moving to the west coast could be amazing in terms of bringing up other players.
K nvm I remembered wrong.
I looked up my post history and it seems like CEO hit around that amount last year.
I would chalk it up as a net growth since that's excluding the additional melee viewers SF4 had the luxury of last year.

Pretty much. As for the answer of what its like...awesome is the appropriate response.
yeah! that movie was a great time.
Now that I'm a moviepass boy I've seen the following movies since last wednesday at theaters:
A Bigger Splash 6.5/10
The Conjuring 2 6/10
The Shallows 7.5/10
Independence day 2 4.5/10
Les Cowboys 8.5/10
Neon Demon 3.5/10
Linn's owned by Fox? I've been trying to get confirmation of this to know how possible it is to get her in SFV. Link?
Btw your example of X from 20 years ago doesn't count because it was different then but Y from 18 years ago does count doesn't make a lot of sense.
Bigger pot bonus than Melee, Smash 4, and Marvel.

Welcome to arguments with Village.
Not an argument, I figure he knows more about this stuff than I do so I want to take the time to understand better.

That's the thing, you never come out with an understanding. You just have more questions than answers and realize you lost time.

I guess he wasnt taking it seriously then if he used that team. Hopefully he does train for Evo.
Including the Vita version, yeah.
It's not like that's a particularly hard thing to do, though. Guilty Gear really isn't nearly as popular as America likes to make it out to be.

There are a few basic guidelines to Tekken that if you know you can pretty much know how punishable most moves are.
Counter hits that are worth anything always have some sort of property change on CH that's how you know.
Show it between breaks

I just don't want to look the fool. One programmer and one sound engineer that used to be an astrophysicist play Tekkan. I want to learn and play with these guys.
Guess my Saber's coming back out
The best Tekken player in America works at a bakery. Tekken's is a much easier game to learn and play than something like Blazblue or Guilty Gear. You don't need anything special to get good, just enjoyment as you would any other hobby. For all the fear mongering over its move-lists there are set number of rules you can apply while playing that helps you understand the logic of the strings instead of memorizing things one by one.
