Is it just me, or did it look like Karin's super gets Abby right in the crotch?

No doubt, Karin definitely pokes Abby's crotch for maximum damage.

 

[sixteen-bit]

the throw animations on Abby don't look that bad. Wow Capcom.

what about the necalli winpose?

I was kinda expecting some issues with that, but looks like it'll be just fine.

Disney SF5 did 101k
http://tnl.media/esportstv/2017/7/19/the-biggest-weekend-for-esports-on-tv
So, even though SF5 on ESPN2 dipped slightly compared to last year, it gained a lot from the DisneyXD broadcast.

So basically, the press opted to do a sensationalist bit.

Nice find. So basically:

Streams on Twitch and YouTube: 235K
ESPN2: 180K
Disney XD: 101K

In total, an average of 516,000 people watched SFV EVO top 8. Great numbers and up from last year by over 100K.

it's a game show, it just uses the brand name but it's on a major network.

I like it. I like Abigail.

 

[Ryce]

I guarantee if Abigail (in all his grotesque glory) was a classic Street Fighter character with a bunch of cool '90s art people would look back on him fondly.

 

[MCD250]

Cammy's throw might look a little weird on him.


Since she has to climb alllllll the way up to his shoulders to throw him and she's like 4 feet tall.

I think every single SF character so far fit SF2 and Alpha perfectly.

Like...everything else aside, this is my favorite SF yet as far as character aesthetic.

I agree.

I'll definitely try Abigail, just won't use his default costume ever. Both of his other skins fit sooooo much better.

why havent we gotten ossiel123088 banned yet?

Does Capcom even ban people? I think part of why they introduced the blacklist system is so that the community would be forced to police this stuff instead of them.

That video only shows her air throw though. I was referring to her regular throws where she climbs on folks' shoulders to throw them.

Of the new characters, Rashid and Laura look almost tailor-made for the SFII aesthetic (I think at most Laura would have been maybe a little bit less sexualized back then, but other than that...). Necalli, I'm not too sure if I could see him in II, but I feel like he couls have fit in pretty well in Alpha. FANG is the only one who I would say maybe looks a little un-SF-like, but I feel like that's maybe the point to an extent, since he also plays different than your typical SF character (with the poison and whatnot).

 

[joe2187]

I just noticed that in that art, Abigail us using a tire drum as a bowl and a crowbar and wrench as chopsticks.

FANG, to me, feels like the other end of the Fei Long spectrum where Fei is the martial arts hero and FANG is the martial arts villain.

But, yeah, probably more of a 3s character than Alpha or SF2.

 

[Ryce]

F.A.N.G and Necalli look right at home with some of the quirkier SFIII characters.

 

[mnz]

There's some super delicious irony in some people saying they would rather want to see classic fan favorites like Oro or Necro instead of this new ugly weirdo.

Not sure about fuckface Necalli but F.A.N.G definitely fits. A poison based character was actually planned for SF3 but his/her spot ultimately got taken by Remy.

The same song and dance as usual.

I get why Oro/Necro could be cool in SFV.

I don't get Q. Like, put him in TxSF or something - because all he had was juggling.

 

[mnz]

Fucking weirdo shows everyone his dick. Wear some boxers, sicko.

I will never understand the people wanting Oro, but Necro is awesome and I pity those that don't love that charming freak. If given the choice between a stretcher I'd easily take him over Dhalsim for the 80th time.
