I got to play some Injustice 2 at some locals and a friend's house. Can't get into the game but I respect it. Will pick up a copy this week just to mess around like I always do for every fighting game.

I've just been backed up with Tekken, SFV, Gundam, relearning Marvel, relearning SFEX2 for an eventual trip to NY's 2Old2Furious, and finishing up Yakuza once I get my other TV screen.

My brother got this message playing SFV today:

"Why are you still playing Vega bro? He makes the game boring, too much spacing"

 

[lucebuce12]

He's not wrong though.

This is SFV.

 

[Marvel]

Lol, spacing.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Tks guys...I'm buffering and setting the dummy to random guard. It's just taking longer to get consistent. I got Ken's target combos down because I'm just confirming one button on hit, but inputting a special increases the difficulty a bit, just gotta grind it.

 

[XenoRaven]

He's not wrong though.

This is SFV.

I appreciate that the Rock is willing to let himself look only slightly taller than Vin Diesel.

 

[Pompadour]

I appreciate that the Rock is willing to let himself look only slightly taker than Vin Diesel.

The Rock is basically the bigger, more muscular, more charismatic version of Vin Diesel. Diesel is Tung Fu Rue and The Rock is pumped up Tung Fu Rue.

Hey man welcome back

Thanks! The Overwatch hype has died down so now I'm back to my roots, lol. So much to learn since I last played.

 

[HiResDes]

Man the Nemo Itazan match was hype

Man the Nemo Itazan match was hype

Man, I missed all of this. any restream?

 

[TheSpoiler]

Can't watch.

Who won?

 

[LakeEarth]

I really gotta get used to using Urien's v-trigger as a whiff punish / anti-air at certain distances like Nemo does. Shit's powerful.

EDIT - winner was

It feels like people only pick Guile and Ken in Ranked, is there more character variety in higher ranks?

You see more Kens.

And Guiles.

Also Cammys.

Depends on your area

 

[delSai]

Depends on your area

Europe. Throw in Akuma and Ryu every now and then

I'll go insane if i see Kens face again

 

[lucebuce12]

I already did.

Yea im not surprised

https://clips.twitch.tv/SuspiciousMiniatureDonutPeteZarollTie

Kens face should get banned
Great redesign for Ken, i can even accept the hair but dude the face

 

[myco666]

Since it is inevitable, welcome to the club.

 

[Turbanator]

I wonder if Menat's ball will work anything like SCV Viola's?

Without the whole being OP thing, of course.

 

[delSai]

Since it is inevitable, welcome to the club.

Just got 2 in a row. Welp.

And the one time i get a Chun they ragequit lol

 

[Lulubop]

Have they said the date of the next update?

 

[lucebuce12]

The costumes are coming out on the 29th.

 

[Gilgamech]

If it weren't for Kolin, Menat being a fortune teller and having counters would be pretty cool. However, this game needs another zoner. With a command grab.

 

[Producer]

i rarely play chuns and when i do they do dumb stuff like her df.HK

All the smart Chun players are playing someone else.

She should be able to reflect normals. Not counter but reflect. And when she reflects them they act with the same properties of the normal but with counterhit properties.

Basically let me reflect a crush counter Balrog st hk

 

[Omnistalgic]

Yeah Ken is ugly but during the match he looks fine...it's pretty weird.

Higher up you go I'd say Cammy, Guile, Laura, Bison and Balrog will become more frequent. Ken is at all levels though I'm afraid. From silver to Master you cannot escape the crimson warrior .

 

[lucebuce12]

you cannot escape the crimson dickbag .

FTFY

 

[sixteen-bit]

I wonder if the 30K FM bonus coincides with that

not cool man

There was an in-game message for a Hong Kong CPT event this weekend. Do they always do this? I don't think its common. And if not, is this a big hint of when we might see the next reveal?






...I'm a desert over here, c'mon!

Sometimes they do it

As someone who's driving through a desert I see more variation and detailed information than from capcom news

 

[TheSpoiler]

It seems to be for bigger CPT events. The HK one was fairly big and I bet SEAM or whatever it's called will get one as well.

 

[Hyun Sai]

I think in game Ken is one of the best if not the best redesign of SFV. Too bad they fucked up the close up image.

 

[Turbanator]

The fact that they haven't officially announced the 30K fight money coming out on the 29th makes me think we're getting at least one more SFV-related announcement. Even if it's something like a stage or even some dumb title, there has to be something left for this month. I just have no idea why they ignored Gamescom for it.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

This week's Gfinity EU event is live:

[HardRojo]

So we got Jiewa here in Peru already and I think Brolynho has also arrived. Tomorrow's gonna be great! Can't wait to get my ass kicked by Jiewa's Akuma later tonight in casuals lol.

 

[delSai]

Is Alex supposed to be one of the worst characters in the game?

 

[Onemic]

Nah he's mid tier

Good luck on commentary, dude! Excited to see you commentate, hermano!

This G-finity semi finals pop off was amazing. One of the best I've seen for SFV so far lol.

Maybe too much other more interesting stuff being announced, plus wanting attention on MVCI for the week? I'd imagine that although we are salivating for any goddamn thing from Capcom about SFV, it's the kind of thing that might get lost during a big convention.

(Really they just have nothing to announce, though.)

 

[TheSpoiler]

To be fair, marketing for multiple games takes a lot of work and staff, the latter of which Capcom may not have resources for. So it's possible Capcom wanted to focus on MVC only and not anything else since SFV is getting its dues afterwards. I can't see them announcing Menat so close to the date (even though its in Steam right now...), but we might get another treat with the 30K. Who knows.

I think EU region has the best FGC popoffs in the world.

Not even joking. Those guys take it too far on the daily lol.

 

[HardRojo]

Thanks man! Yeah will try and keep it entertaining for everyone, though I'll probably have to stick to Spanish for 95% of the time. Really looking forward to all the matches and hopefully we'll be able to get a nice audience on the Stream. I think Argentina's tournament last weekend peaked at around 1.5k, which is a great number.
