SFV Lounge: Menat BUFFED, F2P SFV coming, CCCC COMBO BREAKERS coming

I would love to attend Combo Breaker and Evo, especially since Combo Breaker is always a NRS friendly event and it will be the first Major of MK11. That said its always an issue of $$$ I hope maybe the YT does well enough so I can afford to go because each trip will be like 2k minimum.

Summary

how many movies do you watch where that one is the 2nd worst you’ve seen like jesus

2 Likes

I only said what everyone was thinking.

Also Kage concept is cool and all but about that Season 4…

I love movies. The only reason I watched it is because the first 4-5 movies I searched for on Netflix weren’t there.

The first 90 mins are slow and unfunny. The last 30 are poorly filmed action scenes where the camera cuts, shakes, or changes angles every fucking second.

Like I get its supposed to be a parody of cop and action movies, but i expect it to be funny.

Tbf they increased the V gauge usage on the stuff she gets there, hadoukens spend more V Gauge now (even with the timer buff the VT got) and Hogasho now also spends V gauge (before it was free).

that being said it’s looking to be the better option now yeah, though VT2 still is alright on its own.

My favorite part about Hot Fuzz is Cranberry Juice

OK, what the fuck is the frame data for Bison’s dash on VT1.
I couldn’t jab check it, I couldn’t throw it, he could dash immediately after finishing the previous one withouth any recovery and then escape my attacks.

It’s 22 frames total both normally and in VTI. Outside of VTI, it’s fully invincible frames 8-10, strike and projectile invincible frames 11-14. In VTI, it’s fully invincible frames 6-13, strike and projectile invincible frames 14-18.

So you’re probably reacting on about frame 23 or so (frame 17 + 6 input delay) and thus your follow-up misses 'cause VTI dash becomes invincible sooner.

I second this. But people tell me I have shitty taste in movies because my taste is mainstream and less pseudo intellectual. Shit like hot fuzz gets the nerds hot for some reason I haven’t figured out, like some form of satire I don’t get. Like the jokes are overly obvious and I think that’s the point, but I don’t get that being a thing. It’s like telling the joke “why did the chicken cross the road”?

TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE, YOU WANKER!

Like ok, I already knew the punchline but since the word wanker was used along with a condescending look of exasperation, it’s supposed to be funny… now times that by 2 hours of jokes that work based on this same simple premise.

I find movies like Superbad and Friday, funny. When Chris tucker was high off his ass in the chicken coupe, when the fat guy in Superbad made all the stupid dick cartoons. He’ll even shit like beer fest and super troopers is funny. But Shaun of the dead and hot fuzz are just a category of humor I don’t like, and I don’t think it’s about British humor because I watch mr bean or Monty python and think they are hilarious.

Maybe it’s a British thing. I think Hot Fuzz is funny from start to finish. The detective brothers are a highlight for me, and Angel’s seriousness is especially funny. Like when he describes being stabbed as the second worst thing, or when he asks the other cop can’t he take a shortcut.

Monty Python has a very broad appeal. Surrealism etc.

Hot Fuzz etc is a very narrow view of small town England. So much of it is accurate to that experience. It makes the eventual scenes all the more ludicrous.

Not saying they are the greatest films but i do think they resonate on a different level with us.

Fucking living statues

I kind of equate it to being like Seinfeld. That was also a show that took me a long time to “get” once I did I thought it was hilarious, but I had to work to be able to see that humor because that style of humor is not generally seen in the black community, at least not while I was coming up, but it might be a mainstream style or white or Jewish humor that I hadn’t been exposed to.

It’s alwys good t9 expand ones horizons, but hot fuzz just looked like it would take to much work to find actually funny when there are so few movies like that that have come out. Finding Seinfeld funny has a decent return on investment since there are like 10 years worth of shows to watch.

See this is what I don’t get. Angel just seems like a cop with a stick up his ass. Now I get that’s the joke but nothing about him is humorous. The detective brothers seem like they are supposed to be some kind of funny parody characters but they don’t really do much besides being stupid and calling Angel names?

Like im not english or from a small town so maybe a lot if the humor is lost on me? I couldn’t say.

Is it like Napoleon Dynamite where the movie is terrible the first time but more funny each time?

I think it’s Angel’s reactions to things which make me laugh. The cranberry juice at the pub, when he rounds up all the kids and details them in the police station, his reaction to Nicholas being a police officer and many others. Like his reaction to the female officer who flirts with him is just priceless. But I guess everybody’s take of humor is different. Some people find the British version of The Office less funny, but to me it’s equally as funny as it’s American counterpart.

The detectives are mainly funny because of the west country accent to be honest.

A lot of humor can basically be categorized as an inside joke. That’s what white comedy for me is. That’s why I have to “get it” to laugh at it. I have to understand the premise they are spoofing and why it’s funny over something else.

Like I thought will Ferrell’s was not funny for the longest time till he started to make movies. Once he started to make movies I started to get the joke, and now I think he’s hilarious, but I’d classify his form of humor as “inside” if you will, but then again black humor can be the same way.

Black audiences laughed at scenes from I think, baby boy where teenagers that had beat someone else up, were lined up and punched in the face. I laughed as well, there was humor in it, though hard to find. But white audiences tended to be appalled. That’s the insideness of humor, you don’t get it if you weren’t around it/raised with it in mind. Not all forms of humor are like this, but many are.

I think Shaun of the Dead had more global appeal because people had previous experience and expectations of zombie films.

Hot Fuzz is a similar thing but instead the juxtaposition is what would an action movie cop do in a sleepy English town where he isnt needed or wanted. Most of his skill set is redundant.

Trouble is a lot of the humour are little in jokes about small town life etc. That doesnt travel too well.
