Let’s be real, new DOA came from costume sales and had fuck all to do with the Tourney scene.

Doesn’t alter the fact that the DOA scene better supported than the NRS scene.
That’s blatantly false. DOA scene is damn near nonexistent if you’re looking at tournament entrants. DOA is supported by casuals buying skimpy outfits.
MKX and INJ2 at the end of their lifespans got more peeps playing than DOA did during the same timeframe. That says a fucking a lot.

The downplay in you is real. Well done for heading out though. 
Ibuki is top 3 in SF5, wtf you talking about?
She doesn’t have to take any above risks and has really good footsies. Mans is trying to salvage w/e nonsense he said by trying to talk up Ibuki like she was struggle city in 4 though.
So much struggle city that Sako dropped Cammy for her.
We were and have been talking abut sf4 ibuki. Keep up. As far as sf5 ibuki.
Yeah, I didn’t like her either and DJ doesn’t even main her so… yeah.
She’s not the same character by any stretch of the imagination.
Same as ryu isn’t the same and most ryus jumped ship. Sf5 ibuki is a different breed for a different type of player which is fine, but let’s not get it twisted that she’s just gonna resonate with sf4 peeps. Sako isn’t using her either… is he also a scrub that needs “tods” obviously not.
We don’t play her in sf5 because we don’t like her sf5 plasytyle.

You would be at top 96 right now if you played stick and not filthy pad. 
Rare footage of Dime being the voice of reason.
Anyway, different game, different Ibuki.
Still a mix-up character, but it’s not vortex fighter 4, so yeah.
Also, I know the Vietnam flashbacks are real, but try not to immediately gang up on someone just cuz they played Ibuki in 4.

You are right. NRS games did have bigger numbers. They also had pot bonus. Injustice 2 didn’t even hit 400 entrants at the last EVO. It had the worse support by far. I can’t prove it, but I still think that MVCi would have gotten more entrants if it had more than a side tournament.
DoA is a good game and this is a fact. It doesn’t get enough competitive screen time because everyone thinks it is just about boobs.
And even if it was only boobs, I would still praise it because Team Ninja care enough about the oestrogen brigade to make every guy in the game to hit one exact female kink/fetish and give them hot, sexualised costumes, even if it is less often than the girl ones.
Still, it is a solid, fun game.

I think it’s the way he walked in after 5 years and shit on sfv immediately, a game most here are enjoying that annoyed people.
I just hate how 09ers talk as if they are superior beings because ma executions and ma footsies!!!
I don’t care how great his skill level was in sf4 or how big a poster he was then in srk.
The way he talked stinked of arrogance with all that talk about using widow maker and “click 6 heads in a row and win team fights.” Lol.

It’s known that top players go to the easiest route in pools to both hide potential new tech and to not burn themselves out before the big matches.
Karin has less exploitable weaknesses than Menat and her gameplan is a lot easier.
Honestly, you could be a lot better if you didn’t bring yourself down all the time.
It’s not like Karin isn’t top tier and quite honestly a better character than Menat to begin with. He just didn’t wanted to risk a bad MU.
“Stinked”?
…
Anyways, I’d much rather ma skill be based on ma footsies and ma execution rather than ma jump and ma dash timing!
Lmao

SC6 is a solid game.
I can’t believe people are still complaining about Reversal Edge to this day.

Barely. You got it or you don’t. All the confirms I do in sf5 took less than 2-3 days to develop to consistency
Ch confirms, jab jab confirms. Jumpin confirms etc.
1 hitters (cancels) elude me but I find it difficult to think that most players that have em, spent massive amounts of time on them. Maybe a select few here and there but they largely seem like something you got, or you don’t got after a week or two of practice.
Contrast that with mvc and older games sometimes requiring months and months to get combos down, but once you got em… you got em.
If it makes you feel better, they complain about most of the universal mechanics.
You cannot tell me in good faith that you find shit like Cammy’s Cr.MK xx Arrow harder than SFIV’s “1f links up the ass” combos.
I just refuse to believe it.
