piss him off with rolento stand jab please

then react to ex dash straight with ultra pretty please

Daigo is always the favorite to win but he just ends up under performing but definitely longer sets favor him. I think the players that could beat Daigo at master series is Xian, Louffy, and Kazunoko. Daigo has always struggled with the Dhalshim match up and I’m not sure if he did his home work after Capcom Cup but it’s quite possible that Xian could beat Daigo with Dhalsim again. Let’s not forget that patch 1.04 puts Evil Ryu back to 900 health instead of 950 so he has less life to play around with during those matches. We haven’t seen Daigo vs Louffy as well and I’m not sure how this match up would work out. I think it depends on how much home work both players have done against each other. You can’t really play the fireball war against Rose and that’s one of Daigo’s strong suites. He could switch to a more offense oriented style as he’s been doing lately but Rose can control that type of offense, imo. Pepeday is the wild card of the whole thing and he’s beaten Daigo before. A longer set definitely favors Daigo to get use to the quirkiness of the character and player habits though. You definitely can’t count out Kazunoko especially with how much stronger Yun got in USF4.

oh shit neegz, its smb3

Ant-Man

i think luffy would normally stand a chance to beat daigo but you can bet daigo is studying this matchup for this event

actually i think daigo vs luffy is the match i’m most interested to watch, with daigo vs xian the next most interesting (especially if xian decides to counterpick)

actually, CCG guys, do you have rules on how often you can counterpick? topanga has a rule that you can only change characters once every 3 games (and only the loser of the previous mini-FT2 is allowed to switch). are you adopting that rule? or are you going to allow the loser to change character at any time?

Do we know who Ant-Man is fighting yet? He has the worst list of villains in all of comic books.

then do a drunken salty runback on the after party stream

the aspiring Governor of Pennsylvania

by god… imagine the power he may obtain, and the sinister use he will put it to

“A governor’s official duties can include signing bills into law, serving as commander-in-chief of the state’s National Guard and militia forces, convening special sessions of the state legislature, delivering a “state of the state” address to citizens, granting commutations and pardons to prisoners and appointing people to various judicial and state offices.”

BY GOD

Mike Z’s and Sirlin’s opinions on Xrd:

http://www.sirlin.net/

Hard to argue with a lot of their points… Particularly Mike’s. Ultradavid isn’t enjoying Xrd that much for the same reason I can’t… no character I can find that I enjoy. He even said “why play Potemkin when Bane is a way more interesting grappler” which is exactly how I feel… (and also that ridiculous break tech you have to master off of 6k). Why no Jam :(.

I basically refuse to listen to, discuss, debate, or otherwise acknowledge sirlin’s opinion on anything ever anymore

i’ll read the mike z one though

I pretty much agree, but they basically say the same things.

Who is sirlin? lolwut

a fairly disagreeable gentleman who is always right, and you are always wrong

he was the guy behind SF2: HD Remix, he also made some board games which i tried to get into but then i watched his abrasive personality turn off many customers, eventually including me. he has some interesting ideas behind balance but you have to dig through some serious hubris to get at them

really? against my better judgment i clicked the sirlin link and read the top sentence and the conclusion, and it sounds like he praises most of Xrd’s design decisions, while mike z is critical of most

ah… the worst kind of person

Masters series has no character rule outside of the normal you-win-you-keep-playing-it rule. Things may still change… but not right now.

I’m gonna feed you to the grinderrrrr~

Sirlin’s critiques are the last few paragraphs. They disagree on YRC’s though.
