Losing in this game feels a lot fairer than most fighters. In BlazBlue or Guilty Gear, you'd get completely destroyed without any thought on how you can improve other than "getting gud" (at least if you're a rookie like me). But I feel with SFV, especially with the amazing ranking system, I can see the problems my playstyle has a lot more thoroughly, and it's a lot funner and easier to improve.
Also Mika's the best and anyone that doesn't like Mika should get gud.
We really need a guest character right now.

Get Arika on the line pls
Yeah closest thing is Bob for sure. I just want a kung fu fighter in suspenders that is more 80s kung fu movie brawler. FANG just is a bit too weird for my tastes.

Does anyone else think Necalli should lose invincibilty on his HP DP? I think he should only keep it on his EX.
No just drop his Jab AA.
*Sensible chuckle*
No, give more people inv dp's

yes but I try not to complain about balancing outside of Chun lol. at least it doesn't have a lower body hitbox so you can try low profile it
I just wanna make it outta pools in Canada Cup b
Yams is the darkhorse victory.
So on the ropes with this one. Not sure if I'll go, or if I even have the means to. I'll have to talk to some people at our scene about it.
I'm inspired now to enter this local regional major with the GAF tag now. Pressure's on to build my game back up within a month to not disgrace it!
Are you close to TO? Need an online training buddy?

I live in the area so I guess hmu if you have any questions about optimal hotels/travel/airbnb/restaurant stuff.

Montreal, so sure. Don't think I quite need an online training buddy right now, though. Depends I guess: who do you play, and what's your skill level?
Cool, I'll have to get back to you on that when I think about it more.
The competition there's sure to be a lot crazier than Dreamhack MTL...
I think we played a while back? I was Karin and got to 5000LP and growing, then real life made me peace out for a while so I've gone back to basics lately on Ryu.
That's possible. We should play sometime in the near future so we can compare our skills.

I was thinking about competing at Canada Cup this year but money's pretty tight at the moment so I may just go to spectate & play casuals. I mean, _someone's_ gotta be there to rep Alex!

Lots of internationals including Daigo are coming to Canada Cup this year so it's worth going at least to watch the competition.
...Right. Maybe I'll skip going after all.

I wanted to go to Canada Cup last year buy couldn't. I'll definitely see if I can go this year.

Lol why. You should go , even if you lose to some top international player. Playing them is an experience. You might even see some other player beat the player you lost to and learn a lot from that match.

My set vs FlashMetroid: https://youtu.be/gGgItjqm-cc

Good set. I noticed you like to use Nj.HK for Vegas walldives. I think you might have done better with jumping towards vega with J.MP , it will net lesser damage but is waaay more consistent in punishing his dives. Even the EX ones. You also land faster and can go for Throw,Meaty mixup.
Am surprised Flash didnt start going for some St.LKs after you shimmed him so hard ( I srsly hate how fast this comes out lol ). But you picked your shimmy spots well.

Nice Murderface going there. It just comes over you before the match like a cloud. Tokido-level there.

As good as Chun is, she's not unbalanced or OP'd tho.
Yeah, you're right. It'd just cost me more than I might be able to afford, but I'm getting involved in the scene enough that going there is tempting, and going against the bigger names in SF would certainly be an experience.
Neat. I like the shimmies; I wish I could pull it off more as Mika, but I feel like everyone just always sits down and blocks when I try to do it. I guess it's because of the thought that, if a grappler was gonna try to throw you, you wouldn't be teching it anyways and you'd either be jumping or backdashing. Gotta condition them with more normal throws before I can do it myself.
Like me, you have to work on your meaty timings and hit confirms. I swear it always seems like Vega's st.LK is faster that other 3-framers out there.
Heh, never really thought much about it until I started going to locals and people started talking about my expression when I play.

I have this exact same problem. There has to be something up here. Its weirdly harder to meaty Vega than other 3-framers. Even though that makes absolutely no goddamn sense.

Ugh, if some of y'all thought the RQ situation in SFV was bad, KOFXIV is simply lousy with cowards right now. Of the 20 ranked matches I've played today, 9 ended in the opponent RQing right as I was about to land the last blow. I could always see it coming too cuz they'd stop moving abruptly and then the game would freeze for a few seconds :/
I wonder what drives someone to RQ. Maybe I could do an article on the entire ragequitter mindset if I could find some willing participants to interview and observe...

The game has both a "Win 5 Ranked Matches in a Row" trophy and a "Win 10 Ranked Matches in a Row" trophy which is big rage quitter bait.

This is actually fascinating, oh my gosh.
I agree with the people in the comments though; if RQers owned up to it and admitted it was a scummy thing to do instead of getting defensive I'd be a lot more inclined to just forgive & forget.
Dang, I kinda wanna do an article about this now...
