His Halloween costume is pretty cool
But why remove the oki from his EX knee smash? Why does s.mp push back on block so much? Why did Necalli get to keep his anti-air jab? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!??!

I'm going to start compiling ways for full timers and people with kids to maximize their time in fighting games.
Please do.
Rule #1, don't start playing late at night unless you're wide awake. By 1am last night, I was basically playing asleep. There were times where I had the match won if I had just burned a meter and then just ... didn't.
Because Alex is synonymous with struggle.

So do we still think that NA has the best SFV top players now? Or have the Japanese regained their superiority again? Or is Tokido just a special case?
I think Tokido was spot on in his post Evo interview. Japan has more (consistent) high level players, but America has one or two guys like Punk who utterly dominate. Tokido was definitely better than Punk during Evo, but until he can prove that he can keep that kind of play up consistently I still think Punk is overall the best player.
Last one, why do his stomps have such a tiny hitbox, and active for such a short amount of time, AND is punishable on block (non-EX)? Compare it to Bison's stomp where he's a hitbox his entire way down, and can re-direct himself to safety if needed (it is slower though).

Haha way back when SFV first dropped I actually ate a ban because I lost my temper in one of those threads.
All the wikis are updated to SFV canon now, but I recall reading before that Abigail had some mental illness beforehand, explaining his weirdness. He definitely had a scarred childhood, I remember that.
How amazing would that be as an anniversary announcement
Give Alex his goddam Tornado DDT again plz
One more time?Pm

I am a full timer with a baby. Double Whammy Family Man.
prolly cause Alex stays next to the opponent and Bison can get away; theoretically, Alex can stay pressuring, while Bison has to risk the devil reverse
dunno why Alex is _punishable_ on block. he should be minus at most

I still think Punk is #1 in the world despite the beating Tokido gave him. Du was #2, but his defeats by Kazunoko and Tokido stand out a lot more to me than Punk getting dismantled by Tokido. So he's still top 5 to me but not the definitive #2 anymore. I think the Japanese top players are even with American top players. It's just that Punk is still ahead of the pack by quite a bit and Tokido happens to be his demon.
Tokido was amazing over the weekend but I gotta see more consistency to say he's a top 2/3 guy in the world because his performance up to this point has been subpar. I said the same thing about Luffy when he won EVO. Really great player, but not a top 3 guy and he didn't continue showing dominance when internationals kept coming over to Europe.
Yeah, it's pretty bad. What's worse is that people can consistently react to both the stomp and his headbutt due to the ridiculously long startup, so at higher levels they're pretty much useless unless you really condition the opponent to be scared. Plus, I'm still pretty shit at aiming the damn things.

Might I also have one, por favor.

Call for CFN help here
Somehow my profile reset (went through the entire reinstall tutorial thing), even tho no one deleted it. I brainfarted and put an underscore in my CFN name and now I can't seem to recover my old EtrianOddity profile (and all its DLC and points).
I deleted and reinstalled, but the underscore/incorrect CFN is still default.
What am I supposed to do here?

It's too late, I'm forever an Alex main now.
It's so easy to miss, you can just slip right behind your opponent with the stomps. Compare this to 3rd Strike, where there were positions where a light stomp AND a medium stomp could hit your opponent. And it could cross-up. And, to be fair, it could be parried.
I think it'd be fair if they made it -2, but what do I know.

So I did some investigating and it looks like I'm fucked. Now I gotta rebuy all my DLC again ;_;
What? Why

Above post. Somehow my SFV reset (including CFN), and I brainfarted and put an underscore in my tag since that's a default for my handle on other video game accounts..
So now I'm locked out of my EtrianOddity cfn and can't reset. [PS4 player here.]
Thanks!
Can't you contact Capcom or something? That's pretty messed up.

Switched from Alex to Urien when he was released and jumped to platinum within a month. True story.

if only she got a retro movelist
I think if she had her old moves on top of her new moves she might straight up become impossible to deal with tbh.
The idea is good, I find the quality of the animation lacking. It changes between different scenes that completely disregard the Abigail's' last frame of animation. There's no flow at all. My issue with Gief's CA is that there's no animation, lol.
In general though I don't like how Abigail animates, it just doesn't look up to par with the rest of the cast.

Just saw this. I actually took a forced sabbatical despite being off all summer as a teacher. I haven't played for about a month or slightly more. I didn't delete though, I never do. I did end up finishing Resident Evil 7 and am almost done with Nier and The Surge. But it's back to SF5 this weekend as I'm going over my friends house and we are going to have a session plus Abigail Next week.

Finally got to watch this.
My reaction is...
I'm calling it right now, this guy is gonna be my new main if it turns out he doesn't suck.
^^^^^^^^
Nuckledu is obviously amazing, but I feel like he's never really had an extended period of truly unstoppable domination like Punk and Infiltration have had, not even after Capcom Cup. His level of skill is such that he can feasibly defeat some of the best fighting game players in history, sometimes quite convincingly, but he's never been able to maintain that aura of invincibility that I think is associated with the folks who've been considered the best for an extended period of time. I remember seeing him get bopped by MenaRD's Birdie shortly after Capcom Cup (we're talking just a few days later, here) and also losing to Kazunoko and Fuudo in Japan early this year (Du has since been able to defeat Fuudo convincingly). And of course, other talented players like Snake and Xiao Hai have beaten him (sometimes crushingly) in recent months too. Punk has had a few falters too (he also lost to Snake recently, and I don't think he's ever been able to defeat FChamp), but I think he and Infiltration (last year) can lay claim to being "the best" on the scene more credibly than Du has ever been able to tbh.
Do you think there will be some edition or gamepack that will include all stages, colors/outfits?
I want to dive in now, but i really want all of those things and it will be expensive to buy all of that ingame so i want to hold on for some sort of edt that includes all, also very very eager to play now :/

I'm thinking Super (rumored to be coming early 2018) will include every character and stage up to S3 (and possibly even including S3 characters), but I doubt it'll include anything more than battle outfits, if even those, for $60.
Give him poison and an otg stompFinally got to watch this.
