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 CA’s and weird game mechanics isnt gonna fix this games problems, in fact it’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 CA’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 there’s no need to them without an utility. Balance and game issues have priority on CA’s imo.

Honestly, I’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 I’m under the impression that people consider her to be weaker than she used to be.

What’s this about Zekus in any top 8?

Gold/Blue Bison, Bes Bison

Edit: Oh shit today’s my anniversary of joinng SRK…welp time to log off

Cr.hp is a better AA now, but st.hp and st.mk aren’t safe anymore. Especially st.hp being -5 can’t be used anymore to catch buttons without risk. EX Tenko got nerfed, she hasn’t oki after throws and she can’t cross under on corner like in S2 anymore. Karin is still efficient ground game wise, but she’s less oppressive now. If the difference between her and Cammy was the superior ground game of the first, now it’s practically even with Cammy being better at everything else.

God is good.
