SFV lounge: London we have a Problem X. SFV gave us the Burger King again

2 Zekus in 2 top 8, one of 'em in GF now. Not bad. Also a Fang in top 8 tomorrow in China.

Things I learned today: people can send you requests to broadcast games on Steam. Apparently I streamed a bunch of games because of this.

My Sagat is still terrible, unfortunately. :frowning:

Zeku about to take cpt.
No buffs please :slight_smile:

That was a nice game by Angry Bird. Well deserved win.

I knew Zeku can beat Cammy, but doing mostly that with Young was a great demonstration of AngryBird skill. Without a comeback VT fighting Zeku can be frustrating.

His akuma was good, but i am glad he switched to Zeku.

adding new CAā€™s and weird game mechanics isnt gonna fix this games problems, in fact itā€™ll likely steer more people away. if the new CA thing is true then they have to bring back utility ones like how sf4 had ( anti air ultras, Counter hit ultras)

New CAā€™s would be useless in SFV outside them being better than the former ones. In SF4 we have comboable,anti-zoning, antiair Ultras, in V thereā€™s no need to them without an utility. Balance and game issues have priority on CAā€™s imo.

Honestly, Iā€™d be more content if they buff* the cinematics of existing CAs or outright replace some of the boring ones.

*not to confused with longer durations.

This Tundra Storm becomes Gief new CA and it still counters a very specific sets of kicks.
I can see Capcom doing that.

By the way, what changes happened to Karin since s1/s2? She looks like she has some new AA-options, but Iā€™m under the impression that people consider her to be weaker than she used to be.

Whatā€™s this about Zekus in any top 8?

Gold/Blue Bison, Bes Bison

Edit: Oh shit todayā€™s my anniversary of joinng SRKā€¦welp time to log off

Cr.hp is a better AA now, but st.hp and st.mk arenā€™t safe anymore. Especially st.hp being -5 canā€™t be used anymore to catch buttons without risk. EX Tenko got nerfed, she hasnā€™t oki after throws and she canā€™t cross under on corner like in S2 anymore. Karin is still efficient ground game wise, but sheā€™s less oppressive now. If the difference between her and Cammy was the superior ground game of the first, now itā€™s practically even with Cammy being better at everything else.

God is good.
