I don’t know how i’ve never heard of this band until a few days ago. So good

I’m so glad SF4 is falling by the wayside. I’ve had too much of that game. It was really refreshing this weekend to play a new game and have zero focus attacks. Really nice.

7 years as a headlining game is more than enough. I’m a big proponent of change, and this year is a great year for FG fans bored with SF4. SFV, KI on PC, MKXL, Revelator, and KoF14… Something for everyone. And, the great Ultra-slayer itself, Pokken!

I like that we’ll get the highest level of play of SFV at Evo without people partitioning their practice time between it and SF4. If it sucks Ultra can come back next year maybe?

Derryk, If I am able to make it I will be on your team.

infiltration is the best

wish i didn’t have to work

bet i could still mop the floor with all of you

i ain’t fuckin washed up yet

edit: I’ll be by after work for some MM’s

We have an anchor lol

So, beta tier list (imo) feel free to tear apart

Nash, Birdie, Rashid, Karin, Dhalsim
Mika, Laura, Necalli, Ryu, Bison
Chun, Cammy, Vega, Ken, Gief

I think the only bottom tier is gief, and maybe ken tbh

Chun is scary if you start playing a dude that can do instant air leg pressure lol

The gap between who is the worst and who is the best seems really small so far.

Also Chun was amazing.

ultradavid thinks gief in the beta is the best version of gief in any street fighter game ever, maybe

How is Rashid? Haven’t played the Beta at all. Just looking at him, he seems gimmicky who will start off strong, but drop off fairly quickly?

only thing I’ve really gotten from watching beta vids is that this game looks hella boring … i’ll probably play Laura

Watching Momochi beat on people for 8 hours, mainly with Ken, restored my faith in the character. He’s still probably one of the weaker characters, though.

Here’s the archive if anyone cares:

She’s fun, think i’m just gonna play her and i’ll give nash a whirl when the game releases since he looks pretty fun

Rashid is sick as hell too, he has some dirty corner mixups. Random video of some dirty corner stuff and a wonky mixup @ 1:55

Also Bret Hart got prostate cancer, let’s Spirit Bomb our calgarian legend

i find the more i play, the more exciting it is to watch matches.

to be honest, the game is not that spectator friendly, but on the other hand.
The game is more honest than sf4, so that makes it more like a cleaner competitive game in my opinion.

i actually like the game.
mostly cause it stays true to street fighter fundamentals.
It doesn’t go too far out of the box.

You know what feels good? when somebody whiffs a DP and you get a crush counter punish combo for 400+ damage

Angry Mike will be satisfied by that feeling i’m sure

Vega is honestly easily top 3. The thing with Vega is you gotta remove the claw right at the start of the match or you won’t get much. Once that claw is removed man becomes monster.
