SFV Lounge: It was coming and it CAME HOME. Ono is your Evo 2018 Chamion

@DevilJin_01 Things are going really well. I have a good team of 3 other TOs. This means that emegencies get covered and lessens the burnout I had. Because of random things happening I came back to the FGC to soon after a hard break I took, so my mind wadnt in the right place. That made the burnout incredibly real. Because of that I’ve been working on minimizing the stress on myself amd expanding the TO pool. Thats done a lot to help. Also streamlining some of the work flow stuff for week to week stuff.

The smash TL;DR is gonna have to wait a bit. There are some mistakes on my end and yhen some cultural stuff (comparing mtg to fgc to smash community) as well as some insights for people who want to jump start their scenes.

So give me a bit on it. Rather you guys something worthwhile to read than some gibberish.

You guys remember when perfects meant something.

That is something I dislike about SFV.
Perfects feel so easy to come by. Or to take.
A lot of times it is a matter of punishing one mistake or making that one said mistake.

Remember when comebacks did?

Ken vs Guile not gonna work out

The answers to both of those is, nothing different has changed. Perfects are neat, but ultimately mean nothing if the one getting perfected has ANY semblance of mental toughness to them. In every game, so many times we see a player getting a Perfect and then losing the set. Too many times have I seen people play far too timid once the opponent is near death and leave themselves open to an aggressive comeback because they’re too busy looking for one touch.

Neutral is weaker, making it easier to get in, reversals are terribad making it easier to pressure once in.

You can only die from chip damage if its a super

“Nothing different has changed.”

Zeku is good against Guile, but Big Bird isn’t a real Zeku player, told ya

Zeku and Menat are actually not too bad of matches for Zeku TBH.

Abigail is why perfects and comebacks dont matter. Winning is more important than making people feel funny about perfects and comebacks though.

Wong finally on TV with Maynut. Real good call to jump over after getting John comfortable hitting buttons in the corner. Don’t think he’s gonna get past Cammy or Ibuki, but we’ll see.

I cannot believe I am about to root for Menat, but here we go…
Laura cannot remain in this tournament. Laura was a mistake.

Is it Season 2 again? What is this Wolfkrones grab robbery?

Getting ptsd watching this Laura…but I can’t root for Menat either, smh. Someone save us.

Season 2 has returned. This is scary.

I’m gonna puke…

You don’t like robbery? I thought you were an Ibuki player, my bad.

Laura has to wait more for popping her VT, but when that happens the pain is real.

The Capcom Fighters twitch stream is fucking up for me, but the Youtube stream is running fine.
