Yeah I'm excited for T7FR beta tests the most.
Interest for SF5 has passed for me, I'm more interested in Chinese KOF14 now tbh.
Tekken 7 in general is better, that's right Capcom heads come at me bros.

If T7 was out now i dunno how much i'd play SF5. As is i'm looking forward to messing with Karin in it.
Good games. You can bet on that
I don't have SFV pre-ordered but I might buy it day 1......depending.
I played the beta and my excitement for the game is also (close to) zilch. SF is just for casual play for me. I can't seem to get into competitively.

Finally, this gif gets used appropriately.
Exactly the way i see it. Just gonna play it for fun.
On other note i am new to this thread but i have to say that this forum is nothing but friendly and helpful. Never had an opportunity to play online in a competitive but at the same time positive vibe. Thanks a lot everyone.

Soon as I'm itching to play some Tekken, PSN gets stupid. Played four games today and disconnected twice, just not worth it.
Glad you're enjoying it here.
Some of us do get bitchy sometimes, though (including myself).
So excited! Just found and bought this on craigslist. So long dualshock; Hello Sanwa buttons and Korean lever.
Feels awesome haha <3
That's what I use. It's great for the most part. Only real issue I have is that sometimes when letting the stick go back to neutral, it will register an input in the opposite direction, which can really fuck your shit up in Tekken.

For those of you who care about my progression in SF a new Back in The Saddle where I get knocked off my ill earned high horse.
I have a nice little Tekken to SF comparison at the end.

What method do you prefer to hold the stick?
I tried gripping it a couple different ways yesterday, still figuring out what's most effective lol..

Street Fighter fans are so defensive. Not allowed to say the netcode in 5 is just average without getting personally attacked. It's like dealing with children.

I've been hearing from Aris and Innsomotek's streams that the netcode hasn't been as stellar as it was in earlier betas. I am a little concerned.

When I went to SFIV ot and said shit about ppl playing on WIFI I was straight jumped on, they said that playing on wireless is great and all that shit. Why am I criticizing it.
I was like.
Went and never turned back. What a community.

See stop that. There is a middle ground between trash & great. The netcode isn't trash & dumb to smoke. It's not like NRS level. The game is just straight average. If someone lives far away the match sucks, if they live in your region it's fine, and if they live like half a coast away it will suck if their internet isn't good & be decent if they have good internet. It's completely average. People keep saying stupid shit like "It's better than SF4". Of course it's better than SF4. SF4 came out 7 years ago. SF4 netcode is bellow average by today's standard. I think maybe the extra buffer window on links is giving people who only played SF4 some weird idea that because they can now do combos more consistent that the netcode is amazing.

Tekken Pachinko got third part with Angel as the main character.
I'm always impressed with those crazy little cg clips they make for this pachinko series. Nice quality.
I watched some playthroughs of pachinko Tekken and they're crazy.

Pretty much just use my index, middle, and ring fingers to push the stick towards the right, and my thumb and index fingers to push the stick towards the left.

With all of the nerfs to Lars since BR, are we all in agreement he's become an honest character in Tekken 7?
If only Angel could be a mainstay.
The fact that I barely even see him being used anymore is testament to that.

I just find some of them going off on Laura and Mika when the game always had cheesecake a serious case of selective memory. But I think it's something with when you are in a position of strength some people become overly defensive.
Namco should seriously learn how to do/choreograph Supers/Ultras from Capcom. Tekken rage arts are a shame compared to the hype these bring.

I can see why it would be a problem for some.
Playing SFV in front of family/friends could be an issue, especially if you have young kids in the house and this is happening on the TV screen.

They haven't embraced the anime yet
Tekken is hella anime but instead of doing anime shit in supers it's mostly random moves chained together. come on now. Give Bryan a minigun super with range, Shaheen has a sword too.Kazumi has a bloody tiger,use that. Just them being random moves chained together really brings down the hype even if not all are that
Yoshi is cool tho doing ninja flips and shit.
Also #Bringbackthemikabooty
I do like Claudio and Yoshi ragearts.
But stuff like Bryan, Dragunov, Hwoarang, Law, Xiaoyu, Kazumi, etc. leave A LOT to be desired. A lot of it really is just command list moves chained together.
Other problems: the background music stops when the rage art connects. Why is that? Most of the characters also don't say or do anything interesting. "Get ready to fllllyyy?" Really? Whereas in SFV, the menacing laughs of Vega, Bison, and Karin really add to the personality of the character and the ultra sequences are really well choreographed. Moments like Birdey jump roping his opponent with his chains or Karin doing fast 360 angle spins to the opponent, etc. are what make you go "oh shit." No rage art in Tekken 7 makes me say "hot damn wow" except maybe Claudio.
Claudio is cool but he went straight to bleach(i dont mind tho) Kat i like for some reason and LC has a unique one. Forgetting the copy one Bruce 2.0 has and Gigas just straight going ham. Would have liked if it was grabs but still cool. Like more of the guys super than expected. Problem lies in the older crew.
The music leaving is alright. Ryu's shoryuken super is my fav in SF4 since it sucks all the music out and you only here jet engines like it's Ippo lol. Still feels weird in tekken
I hate the music leaving. lol. Completely ruins the flow.
Makes you concentrate on the hits making them seem more powerful
Nothing is complete 100% yet so it's cool. Hoping for completely new and well thought out supers
Considering what they've done with default costumes, I'm more hopeful for revamped rage arts.
Supers are a single instance you have no control over after it hits(aside from LC)
They could totally do alot there. But is that all FR will bring minus the updated graphics etc etc?
Looking forward to surprises
none are coming
You can also do stuff after Paul's super.
Forgot the cancel and using it as extension
They'll bring Eliza so she can do reppukens for you
Upcoming purchases
Feb. 16 - Street Fighter V (maybe?)
March 4 - Twilight Princess HD (already pre-ordered for that sweet midna/wolf amiibo)
March 18 - Pokken Tournament (likely)
March 24 - Dark Souls III (definitely)
I don't think I've ever had 4 games on my radar in such close time release proximity before.

I don't think I've ever had 4 games on my radar in such close time release proximity before.
I pre-ordered Kingdom Hearts 3 for $40 on Amazon about a year ago.
I have GCU from Best Buy so I already have that benefit.
GCU has provided me with a ton of savings all year long.
Quite the opposite actually.
Many thanks to Splatoon. The game has me addicted. I think I played for 6.5 hours Sunday night. Woke up with a headache on Monday afternoon. Still played the game most of the day. And now everyday after work, I eat dinner and go straight to this game.
And now with these upcoming releases, I'm definitely looking forward to Dark Souls III and re-playing Twilight Princess again if not also possibly investing into Pokken and SFV.
Same.
Code Geass
Steins;Gate
Clannad After Story
These are animes that I could have watched in one go.
Sports animes are also something that is really easy to binge watch, like Hajime no Ippo, Haikyuu or Ping Pong.
I also like animes where you don't watch many episodes but actually try to absorb every single one, like Mushishi or Katanagatari.
What? That's some great deal. Amazon Germany doesn't have that...
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
Zankyou no Terror
Hunter x Hunter 2011
One Outs
Monster
Attack on Titan
No game no life
They gave me the same hype and addiction

I think it is less being an honest character, and more being no one actually cares to play if he isn't ridiculously good. Bob being nerfed that hard would have the same effect, I think.
Maybe they'll change up the rage arts in BR?
I think KOF has the best nearly everything. All it needs is a more racially diverse cast.
And a better company managing it.
I loved Monster, to a point, but if you've seen that, Madoka is short and sweet too, and if you're seen that, Shin Sekai Yori is different and mysterious, but if you're seen that already, I watched Aku no Hana recently and enjoyed that.
I'm getting better at the game now, by taking up Kazumi, it's certainly helped my Kat.
There is a lot more consistency now in my play, also not playing when fatigued or hungover helps too.
I'm 7th Dan now with Kat and 5th Dan with Kazumi, the 8th Dan and up are really hard, fuck.
I'm messing around with Shaheen in practice mode and local mode just trying to get the basics down in addition to overall feel.
Basically I'm wondering who take up next, I'll play all these characters eventually yeah but it's between:
Shaheen
+ really safe and stupid good
+ he has a ten gallon hat! And some other cool customs
- practice is only at the arcade
Lili
+ also really good
+ she has lots of customs I gave her
+ can practice at home
- don't find myself ever playing Tag 2 at home
- learning curve not as easy as Kazumi or Shaheen
Dragunov
+ very good as well
+ he's got customs too
+ can practice at home
- don't find myself ever playing Tag 2 at home
- learning curve not as easy or as quick as Kazumi or Shaheen
Josie
+ she's like Bruce!
+ I got cool customs like turning her into Alpha Chun, kinda
+ can practice Bruce at home!
- probably not going to play at home
- she's sorta like Bruce and not exactly
- learning curve not simple like Kazumi or Shaheen
There's also Hwoarang and Lars, but I don't think I have the Tekken technical play yet for the former and Lars is weaker in 7, but the issue with Lars for me is that I get lost in his movements as I find it really confusing, at least when fighting him. I also have customs for both too.
