Hey guys, I have something important to tell you:
Cue ending music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcZpgWbXTgQ
I’ve been playing video games for about 26 years and Street Fighter for most of that time and I wanted to take the playing seriously with SF4 and especially SF5. Never thought I’d get as far as I have and many of you guys have been instrumental in my growth as a player.
And now there are newer challenges that have come across my path and with the same intensity that I hit the lab, watched higher ranked Birdies, and moved up, I’m going after my new challenges with a magnitude hopefully even greater than my passion for the game.
What am I saying? As much as I laugh when @Trife88 says it, this is for real… I’ve decided to completely retire from SF5, and actually sell all of my consoles, and games. But here’s the thing, still love this community, still love the game, but I’ll just have to express that enjoyment for it differently from now on. I won’t be a stranger and feel free to PM whenever for whatever!

Sounds more genuine than the fake news FGC celebs that “retire”, but don’t.
Obviously you have something important ahead of you if you’re giving up something that other people give up much earlier on than you did. Good luck and make sure you eat something after you succeed. Birdie would.

Well if you did take Boss Ryu to rank, casuals, or Battle lounge I imagine you’ll never climb the ranks since you’ll keep getting reported for participating in suspicious activities or something like that. But it would be fun to have some kind of Challenge where you and your Boss Ryu takes on all comers.
Lets say there is a Grand Master player that destroys you all the time here. But how would they fare against you when you have a massively OP character. I already find it fun to see if players can overcome these crazy characters in single player. It would be even more fun to see if they can overcome these characters in the hands of decent players.
Thanks for everything and best of luck on your future endeavour!
I will be rooting for you to succeed!

Welp, registered to yet another online tournament. I am getting addicted to this. 
Let’s see if I can go 1-2 instead of 0-2 this time with my Gief now that I am more used to some fun and interesting VT1 setups and making better use of normal throws as oki pressure after SPDs.
Still, I need to focus on ranked today and tomorrow as I feel the gold rank is within reach. And after that milestone is reached, I can focus on improving my Sakura and learning Falke.

Go get 'em B! Dunk some fools.
The CPT “bonus” mission this month ended up being perfectly timed: gave me a good excuse to dip back into Ranked and see how things would go.
Ended the weekend near 800 LP up and 10K FM richer, finally with a foothold in Gold. I’ve been able to win sets pretty steadily against Golds and I’ve done well against the few Super Golds I’ve run into. Biggest thing is paying attention to what the opponent is doing and reacting the right way; working from memory the sets I lost were due to either being too slow to really grok what the other guy’s approach was, or being too slow to come up with a good way to counter it (doing that consistently is gonna take more matches and experience I think).
Biggest thing for me right now is enjoying that the practice I’ve put in is paying off, and that these matches are giving me more stuff to work on. Always more things to note down or take to training mode. And there are still so many things with Laura specifically I can work on and try to work into games. I’m trying hard to not focus on wins or losses and just look at each match as a way to apply and learn. So far it is working out and helps when I run into the inevitable fucking loons online.
Laura Note #1: I won all the Laura mirror sets I played this weekend. As I told my wife over dinner, I am the current Laura champion of my living room.
Laura Note #2: Props to JinFu for getting Laura into top 8 at Viennality and to Shakz for getting her into top 3 at Sonic Boom, even with the Cammy assist. 
Laura Note #3: Week 1 of Gloria costume complete. I agree with Trife that the alt colors mostly suck, but the black version is pretty nice, and maybe some of them will look better in person.

I will do my best, even though my best isn’t very good right now.
Namely, input error on an ex air SPD costed me the chance to tie a set with a super gold Guile player and have a chance to actually go 1-2 on CBSFV this last Saturday.
That is all on me and I have been on training a lot to fix that and get enough muscle memory to ex air SPD after HK crush counters. That will help my game too.
We will see how it will go this Wednesday, and Saturday there will be another online round of CBSFV and I will be there to try again!
Yup this is as real as real can get. Literally Jesus is leading me to some new life stuff so it’ll be interesting to see how this will play out! Pretty excited.
And thank you Bea - looking forward to seeing how you move up the ladder in the game. We’ve got a solid community here, and you’re passionate, so no doubt you’re going somewhere good!
Appreciate that man!
Thanks Tables! Good things are in store!
Lol! It was fun while it lasted! Although I won’t be on SF5, I’ll still be on SRK. Interested in how G and Sagat will play out. I trust y’all to give the low down after the WSOs and what not.

Could use that for a lot of things.
She didn’t catch you using Laura’s swimsuit again did she
Best of luck to you man. Life is short, do what makes you happy. I wish you nothing but success.
