This is one of the most hilarious things said about SF5 ever. Kind of sums up the game as a while tbh.
Not in the slightest.
Kenpi would have explained this better and without having to dis Chris T with a sub human player.
Chris T talks shit to nice people like AutoMattock so that’s just gonna be what he is. Only Daigo and God can make him bow down.

This was never aimed at chris. I just wantes to talk about how ken got A LITTLE bit better, and in MY OPINION.
I was not expecting john to even put that video up.
It was a dumb little thing i made for the ken discord and for this forum.
Like 50-100 views max lmfao

This is what happens when you do have talent. Eventually someone from the outside is going to see it and post it.
The unfortunate thing is that even though twitter is a bigger cesspool than eventhubs, because an eventhubs article writer got a hold of a your video and used it to show that Ken is still alive your video is now “an eventscrubs video”. It’s good that you helped the people you were trying to help, but the twitter verse is going to add propaganda to the video and make it out as if you’re an eventscrubs kid trying to tell the mighty Chris T what to do with his character.
Social media still sucks. An informative video turns into media turf wars and top player chest beating.
Overall though take the whole situation as a compliment. If you got Chris T to beat his chest over the video your work probably does mean something.

Social media was a mistake
Forums are where it’s at. Gets people to travel and eventually disown their family

Yeah it’s been quiet since SF5. I think somebody in the Facebook R1KO group suggested more activity in 2019. The season 4 update balanced the characters greatly so maybe this year will be a strong year for SF5 again 
I’d chip in as well.
Too late.
Mr Wizard has already organized the arena where you and Chris T will have your Ft10.

I would argue they’re more so viewing it because of the IPs being displayed on screen than trying to break down what is happening on screen. You can get anybody to watch anything, but for them to understand what they are watching is another thing and more of what was being discussed.
If you just take a general set of people and make them watch a Guilty Gear/DBFZ/MVCI match then make them watch a SFV or Alpha 2 match and ask them which game they had better understanding of the strategic flow and how the visuals generally related to how the events unfolded , they’d most likely say SFV and Alpha 2.
It’s also why they slowed down Tekken’s movement and added slow mo effects. Stream monsters regularly complained about how Tekken Tag 2 was a complete juggle and twitch KBD fest. Which the developers obviously built around that going into T7.
Melee is probably the most haphazard “fighter” that people watch, but just bringing someone new into watching that there are way too many abstracts and twitch movements that would just be weird for anyone to start to grasp the strategic flow of. The percentage going up and characters getting smashed out of the stage is the only thing that would make even a bit of sense just jumping off a boat and seeing.

Yeah, and that’s kinda the problem. Nobody wants to show up for an SFV-tournament when we know it’s gonna be the Nordavind-boys in the grand finals, as their job literally is to play SFV, and nobody else gives enough of a shit to put the time in necessary to beat them.
Tekken’s always been bigger than SF up here, but in the SFIV-days we’d get great turnout for both games (during the Tag 2 era SF was probably even the biggest game because Tag 2 was balls). Now it’s all Tekken because the enthusiasm for SF just died. There’s one guy trying to breathe a bit of life into the offline community, and I wish him good luck on that part.
As there’s at least one dude that likes the game enough to arrange events: yeah, there’s probably gonna be some stuff. Which is better than no stuff, which is what we’ve had for the past three years. Still, I highly doubt there’ll ever be a return to the SFIV glory days while SFV is still around.
Does Ibuki get any good juggles/mixups from AA VT2. Everything I’ve found needs at least two bars or a release

That’s mainly how you have to use AA VT2. You use it to close a round out when you have enough resources to burn it on. You can’t really create resets off of it like you can with ground VT2 or V Skill into ground VT2. If you watch Fuji or Xian if they land AA VT2 they always just meter dump into the kill or almost kill. It’s mainly a last 30 percent life AA.
If there is anything off of it though that I don’t know about it might be in this video. Good video to watch for concepts.

Naeras, how do the other games besides SF and Tekken look in your scene? Is there any presence at all?
Yeah that’s how I been using it. She can get VS too but it drops them before Shuriken comes back. Thanks though.
Btw I’m on if anyone wants games.
Edit: if you tag a far jump you can get a full VS into the Shuriken and dash into EX.Raida. It’s probably just training mode tech tho since the jump has to be far or high and get all shuriken hits.
I know how Ryu players spamming dashes is a thing but Sakura spamming it is scarier to me for some reason
…
nah I also do that shit with her it’s good lol
Kinda. For about a year Xrd was probably the most played game at offline events, just because nobody liked SFV and T7 wasn’t out yet. It’s not widely played anymore though, but it was the one game with some love behind it for some time and had a nice run.
There’s also a few guys putting time into Soul Calibur and BlazBlue, though those numbers are pretty small. I held an SC6-tournament two weeks ago and though there was some turnout, it was pretty weak overall (though that’s partially because Smash Ultimate had dropped two days before, and a lot of the SC-players are Smash players lol)
Overall our scene is 90% Tekken, 5% SF and 5% other things at the moment. Part of this is just because Tekken has always been popular in Norway, but it also helps that there’s a huge pool of players that can win a local in Oslo because anyone can beat anyone else depending on the shape they’re in, so there’s a point in showing up. If we had some grassroot stuff for SF or Soul Calibur those games would probably be decently sized, but someone needs to step up to get that done.
