Street Fighter V |OTVIIII| New Generation - Fighting Game Is Something So Great

I have half the mind to drop Cammy to play Laura for a bit, because Laura is kind of endearing in the sense that I am not sure if she is just an airhead or if she's legitimately insane. And electric powers are cool and all.

What is the secret to success with Laura?

You remember you said air head

Yeah, you don't gotta think much

I think its more her being an anime trope lobbed onto an unfitting character than her being air headed or insane. But that's how I interpret my disdain of her
 
Besides how easy it is to abuse st.mk i have a little newfound respect for Laura players. You do have to get in and not be afraid to go for explosive damage. Often times it's the fear of what Laura can do that kills you. When you look at the replay, your just like "I should have just kept blocking..."

She is crazy and tick command grab is cheap, outside of that I'm starting to like the matchup.

I think like S1 Ken with his retarded Tatsu or how Ryu could jump LK everything, Laura is a slight tweak away from being really balanced. Just hope they don't go too far.

Listening to the SFIV OST on Spotify. Man the music in that game was so good.

Volcanic Rim and Old Temple are so damn good. I even like some of the renditions of the character themes. Sakura's in particular is pretty great.

What happened Capcom?

It was hit or miss. Half of the character themes were ass *Nam flashbacks of Ken and Guile's themes* and most stages were forgettable. The highs in that game are really high, though. Volcanic Rim and Crumbling Laboratory are the definitions of hype.

Alright, Ken's theme wasn't... great but Chun's was, and some of the new character themes (Juri, C.Viper) were straight fire.
Cody's SF 4 Theme > Ed's theme tbh
Turn the beat back~

Alright Capcom.

You are here. I know you are reading. I'm ready to eat. All you need to do this week is drop bombs.

I'll sacrifice some of my stock for this week if you give us something good.
 
Hell no, it sounds like some rando first production attempt at an em beat. Super corny. You can hate Ed's bar but the beat is fine at least. Ain't nothing good about Cody's theme. Haggar's in MvC is better.

nah ed's theme is trash
cody's theme is better

facts only

Buffs to what?

well being a C tier character comes with a handful of struggles.

Buffs that Laura needs (haunts if you're reading this send it to capcom jp pls):

HP Elbow fully air invul like MP DP's. I'll let it be CC'able on recovery even if it doesn't hit grounded characters tbh
st.MP has a hitbox like Cammy's to stop crossups
she needs a better AA jab

sounds about right

Man Fuck this shit, I'm so sick of Abigail winning because everything he fucking does has infinite armor, this character is such fucking trash to fight. This dumb fuck has ridiculous range, health and dmg, why the fuck does he need more armor than the rest of the cast combined?
 
I'd rather be forced to listen to SFIV Ken's theme on loop for a week than play a single match in Tekken 7 without the music muted.
To be fair, not all the music is so bad.

Who do you play? Abby has armor but mulithitting moves and hitting him at the startup will knock him out of it. He's also negative on a ton of his moves. Practice your spacing against him and apply the pressure, because it's hard for him to shake people off (unless he uses a v-reversal/parry)

Jesus Christ.

I knew T7 has the worst OST in the genre hands down, but I didn't know they could somehow top this.

The theme that plays in eddy's reveal trailer is actually super tight tho

I remixed that shit

Its tight

The exceptions that prove the rule.

I can't even begin to describe what the character select screen is supposed to sound like other than trying to imagine what a Pornhub vid of "Young Bumblebee gets WRECKED by Megatron, forced to swallow GALLONS of gas" would sound like.
