Thank Jebus. I hope Natsu gets hit with the fucking Nerf stick. Take her down a peg or 2 along with aPatroklos and oPyrhha and I’m a happy man.
Yeah, she’s pretty dumb. Her VS Asta is fucking 10-0, I swear.
Yeah she is. I’ve played like 100 ranked matches online. I’m not even kidding when I say I think 40-50% of the matches I play are against her. It’s not fun. She can kill you in about 5 hits. Takes my Ralph like 20-30. Haha. God I hope Raph gets a buff.
Yup, that seems to be the main issue. With the exception of the 1-frame shift, which really isn’t that hard with just a little practice, her combos are stupid easy and high damage+setups. If that’s all she had, I’d be cool with it, but the fact that she’s a retarded fast character makes the combo ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, though, if they’re going to balance things there are some other issues outside of her that have to be addressed as well.
If the rumors are true, it’ll be dropping 3/21. Just before the next tourney. That’s pretty exciting.
Is any SFxT on the menu for the 24th? Sounds like it’ll just be about who can land their infinite first.
It’s not just rumors; that date is official. A little bad timing, but in the grand scheme of things I’d rather have the patch sooner than later.
SFxT is not on the agenda tourny-wise, but if someone wants to bring it and play once stations start to open up, I’m fine with it.
Ok, the kazuma restand infinite I can understand, the koru infinite is a glitch, and the xiaoyu infinite is a pretty bad oversight but I was willing to let it slide a little. But seriously capcom, you are not going to look at your frame data for long enough to figure out (jab, short) x n?
i guess swag kick was as legit as ever .
We have got to use Gems in all tournies trolololololo
New plan: Play SFxT just to pick pacman and hit the infinite whilst staring at my opponent and going WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA.
Forgot to post results from Tuesday:
UMVC3
1st - Gary (Chris/Dante/Raccoon, AKA “Chris’ Log Jam”)
2nd - Olli (Zero/Spencer/Task)
3rd - Corey (Nova/Hulk/Sentinel)
4th - M.C. (Wright/Hsien-Ko/Haggar, Wright/Cap/Ryu, Hsien-Ko/Storm/Morrigan, Cap/Thor/Ryu)
5th - Alex (Viper/Doom/Strider), Jackie (Vergil/Dante/Shuma)
Good stuff to Gary for a pretty stellar keep-away team. I liked. And good stuff to Corey for finally taking me out. Only person I used Cap/Thor/Ryu against and got 2-0’d.
KOF13
1st - Olli
2nd - Jackie
3rd - M.C.
4th - Gary
5th - Corey
Slops to me for skipping my own match with Jackie and DQing myself. 
I really gotta not run tournaments when I’m trying to recover from dying.
This Tuesday is UMVC3 and KOF13 again, though I’d like to set SFxT up on the secondary monitor while we’re running the KOF13 tourney.
SC5 change log is lol
Not quite sure Viola needed that many damage buffs, considering she’s a pressure character. Sad that Hilde got a few block-stun nerfs. 6A+B, especially. Still haven’t bought Dampierre since I don’t know if I’m even gonna keep playing the game.
Re-reading all Hilde’s changes, she’s got nerfs to her poke/frame/guard-break game, a buff to the end of her canned 6AKB string (i.e. useless) and more damage nerfs than buffs.
And she wasn’t good to begin with.
Yup. See you guys on KOF13.
Yeah, I don’t really understand the Viola buffs. She wasn’t bad, just nobody played her. In fact, she’s really stupid with her pressure. Now she gets damage? Oh, goodie.
IVY got BUFFS 
Some Viola players just dont even let you move. Excellent pressure game…I hate that bitch and her balls.
That aside…How can you guys even tell what’s a buff and what’s a nerf? Re-read some of the changes. The terminology is vague and somewhat confusing. I play Raph, and after looking at this changes, I cant tell if he was buffed overall, or nerfed. You also have to test matchups again before knowing what’s what. Especially without frame data. However damage nerfs are obvious and welcome to most characters.
