Is Necalli just the new Evil Ryu? And that’s why he looks just like Ryu in a loincloth?

I wish, if you could do stomp loops like you can axe kicks i would play the shit out of him

yeah, pretty much every chun li match I played at the end of the last beta.

I still don’t understand how they haven’t made any changes to how fucking god awful Ken looks in 5. Legit worse than any of the new KoF models

its probably betting, but it would be fucking hilarious if it was this honestly

i’ll bet eli is that annoying little bro who one ups you on one thing when you’re playing video games and holds it over your head even though you’re better at everything else. the universe righted a very intense wrong by making sure that eli didnt have more superbowls than his brother

hell yes

street fighter 5 comes out soon

then fire emblem 12

then dark souls 3

^____^

maaaan these videos are so terrible

“fang is second only to dhalsim in keeping his opponents out” shows a bunch of close range combos, never once showing ranged play in the entire video

Ken does have his alpha costume too though that you see in story mode. Most likely capcom will give you the oppertunity to spend money to use it in other modes.

I dont know what to do about the new fire emblem games. Supposedly one is really easy and the other is super hard. The characters in the easy one look way cooler though and im not willing to buy both of them.

If anyone is looking for a short game to kill time until Street Fighter, I highly recommend Gravity Rush Remastered.
I guess it was originally a Vita game, but they ported it to PS4 and it’s fucking rad. You control gravity and fly (actually fall) around like a super hero.

i recommend this game by a little known publisher named blizzard

heroes of the storm is an arena brawler where you can play as iconic blizz heroes in a very fast paced and sped up take on the moba genre

street fighter players from calgary with large penises have already gotten on board such as alphajosh, zakk falken and myself

Necalli is a big stupid homo

Man… don’t take fishballs away from the hong kong or they go buck wild. HQ live stream of the shit going down over there.

Did somebody say BUCK WILD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0brStjSOPQ

what happened? fish balls? huh?
i see a burning pile of garbage and a bunch of people walking down the street.

edit: some people are really losing their shit at the cops… josh plz

vendors wanted to sell their street food on CNY, cops be like fuck that, warning shots fired, protest/“riot” occurs.

just google mong kok riot

man if you look at the playoff standings, the western conference in hockey sucks so bad that the flames actually do stand a chance of making the playoffs still.

4 games in hand on colorado who has the second wild card spot and 9 points back. so only half a game back

1.5 games back of arizona who is struggling

and half a game back of vancouver

Which would you guys prefer? Playoffs or draft pick?

I think at the clip the flames have performed over the last month, they probably would be lucky to get a top 5 draft pick. They’ll probably be 6th-10th from last.

Playoffs because I get to go to the games and its zomgamazing

i’m curious what you guys think of this pressure, do you think it’s good? do you think you would be scared if you were the opponent? lots of people are linking this video on twitter to prove a point about how offensive and scary SFV is

watch the video before reading my thoughts in the spoiler tag:

so much of this is smoke and mirrors that will be fairly easy to defend against in 3 months, IMO

the only meaningful mixup is dash throw, which is hard to defend because you have to guess on the dash and pre-emptively stick out a button, which opens up counter hit games with good pokes. and it looks like ken gets to pressure after his throw (lucky him!), so eating a throw isn’t the end of the world because you aren’t going to die to ambiguous mixups but you’ll have to survive another throw mini-game when you rise

(edit: actually, maybe ken doesn’t always get good pressure after a throw? at like 1:55 he gets stuffed by an active dhalsim button and ken is super far away, so it might even be less scary than i thought until you get put in the corner)

anything canceled into v-skill dash is unsafe (even fierce), and empty jump low stuff looks cool but, traditionally, isn’t that hard to defend when you do OS block stuff.

i wouldn’t be scared of the ken shimmy because he can’t easily walk into throw range and dashing opens him up to risk. so if he’s standing at like low forward range, whatever dude… do your shimmy and i’ll block for a while, maybe eat a 120 damage throw or something some of the time, and other times (more rarely) i’ll challenge with buttons, but for sure i’m blocking like 80% of the time here with no real threat to lose 300 life

i dunno am i totally out to lunch on this??? maybe i am, because everybody is losing their shit over this video on twitter and all i see is super linear, basic offense that is very often risky and minus frames and a throw is the worst that will ever happen to you

at least the combo at 1:41 is pretty cool looking

I think 100% of those people were playing a beta. But honestly I think most of those people were still playing sf4 were techin was a big deal BUT you had safe ways to tech. Pretty sure 80% of his damage came from this. People still don’t understand the spacing, gaps etc to tech/get out of pressure like that. I give it less than three months man.

hey its the gootecks shuffle with st.hp instead of cmp
