Street Fighter V |OTVIII| New Delayed Generation - Controversial Inputs

Wow

I played Urien bc his reflectors were fun, honest lol
Urien's fine cause of his thong. Also his general playstyle isn't annoying to play against unlike Laura.

Yup. Laura's whole style just breaks my brain. Hate her so much.
BOOM. That's how you start the fight and finish it quickly.
 
Y'know what's bizarre? I struggle so much vs. Laura when I play as Mika, but my fledging Ed (Fl-Ed-gling?) can steamroll those same Lauras without too much difficulty. Could just be new character syndrome or the addition of an invincible reversal preventing them from going completely ham, but in my anecdotal experience Ed's one of the few character I play who's not free to Laura.

I think it's the invincible reversal. Although they aren't identical, I never had trouble with Abel in SF4 but I played Dudley who had EX DP to gain some breathing room.
 

Marvel

could never
Never seen JoJo, it gets brought up a lot tho lol

Maybe I shpuld seek it out? if I wanna be one the kool kidz xD
 
I used to like evil/boss characters but nowadays I just like fireballs for some reason. I even like just laying down Birdie's ground stuff because it's mad fun. It's not necessarily zoning in general but just like the application of a fireball.

I'll probably just stick with a shitty Urien lel

Ed ain't free to Laura, but I don't think he wins the match at all. She can blow up his fireball and v-trigger easy if she got a bar, and if you fuck up and get your ex psycho upper blocked you might as well put your fightstick down.

I play Cammy because I thought her bomb ass normals would help me improve my fundamentals. I really grew to like her as a character as time went on though. It's funny because I was never that big on her in the old games.

I think she has some trouble dealing with his hit-and-run style though; especially in neutral where she can't safely charge a Thunderclap or try to start V-Skill shenanigans for fear of getting nailed by a Psycho Knuckle or V-Skill from across the screen. EX Upper isn't a be-all, end-all ofc but the threat of its presence forces her to add more layers to her oki game and increases the chances of her guessing wrong and losing her pressure, which makes it a better disruptive tool for the matchup than anything Mika has in her arsenal.
 
Capcpom knows what the public wants.
Going for a white gakuran uniform that's reminiscent of Kyosuke Kagami (shout-outs to Rival Schools!), Nash looks just as ready to hit the books as he does a crush counter. He also sports a hall-monitor sash that shouts, ”skip class at your peril, punk."
Butt is a bonus
I do miss that nice butt.

Not gonna lie. Mika looks very good in those glasses.

I'm a fan as well. All of those look pretty good.

Letting her hair hang low with thick specs, friendship bracelets and sensible shoes, R. Mika takes a leaf out of the traditional sailor-style school uniform that can be seen in Japan. Here’s hoping that Nadeshiko still recognizes her during recess.

That's not the only thick thing going on.

Still better than average, but at least he's -2 now on block.

Its armor feels really weird now, I used to just throw it out to get closer, but it keeps getting stuffed now. Might be just a matter of perception, but still, it doesn't feel as useful as before (not taking into account the -2 on block, which is a nerf I totally agree with).

School girl clothes aside, this alt makes Mika look like Fuudo. There's gotta be a dark hair color to complete the look. lol

Edit: Its mostly the glasses.

It never had armor. You have to use vskill for that.

Oh, couple more things:

1) How gay do you think Mika was in high school? Pretty gay, right?

2) Odds are, Charlie probably went to school in the US, right? Would have been neat if they'd given him an American private school type uniform.
