11pm AE top 8? Oof. Watching the re-run it is.

GG at 1pm on Sunday though may work out.

Props to whomever put that graphic together for the extensive time zone breakdown.

So Falke reveal early on monday then.

AE top 8 will be Monday, 0 AM for me.
Watching the reruns on the top 16 and top 8 for sure. I need my beauty sleep!

Falke reveal when Capcom says so.

Fuck Menat. And fuck Infiltration for making people pick her up. If my Chun-Li future consists of fighting Guiles and Menats ad infinitum Iā€™m going to main Rashid.

I wouldnā€™t main Chun Li anymore other than character loyalty. Sheā€™s back to SFIV where you just pick her to counter pick certain characters.

I wonder whoā€™s getting invited this year. Hopefully no Gootecks or Gllty. I think invitationals should feature the best players.

Or the most hype. Showmanship is a thing now.

I can see Sherry making it somehow.

Lately Iā€™ve just been wanting to play more and more. I see a lot of people parroting Mike Rossā€™s statement on SFV, but it really doesnā€™t matter to me. Ran into really good players like Lud, Ryan Hart, and Nephew recently. Just makes me want to become a much better player. Those nights when youā€™re on tilt are awful, but they come and go. Sometimes you just gotta know when to get off and do something else.

Anyway, hope the SRK fam has been good.

I got back to diamond again and ran into a master Ken that just dismantled me. I prob could have won but damn dealing with high level Ken unga is some different shit. I also ran into a Ultra Diamond Abi and I was just like ā€œthank you Capcomā€ I actually took a game off the guy so I got some points to help pad out my losses lmao

I feel so good with Kolin this season. She basically has everything except an Invul-Reversal. Iā€™m really hoping we donā€™t get a 3.5 cuz I canā€™t have my girl nerfed just yet. Just give me the year to fraud it up so I can hide in battle lounge once I get to Super Diamond.

And even then, who does she counter? Ryu and Gief? Thatā€™s hardly worth it.

The thing is Iā€™m not really a loyalist but sheā€™s the closest to a Rose-type of character in this game that also doesnā€™t rely on some V-Trigger BS to make a comeback every round. Maybe Iā€™ll go back to Kolin at some point because I really like her style. Trigger I is still available after all.

Good shit man.

If a 3.5 does happen you may still be able to keep your ice queen in good shape. 2.5 dialed back most of the strongest chars but they were overall small changes and still ended up being really good.

The only ones who may be legit worried about a 3.5 should be Abi players just due to public perception and Capcom being hammer happy. And even then if they hit him as hard as they hit, say, Urien in 2.5 heā€™ll still vroom the shit out of people.

And Doctrine_Dark I agree. This game has pain in the ass stuff but so does every game. I enjoy it and almost always come away from sessions wanting to play more. I also like the group of people SRK has banded together around this game which probably helps with that too. :grin:

Matches against KnuckleDo donā€™t count Jin :wink:

Yeah itā€™s not like itā€™s real important who she beats as other better characters can already beat who she beats.

Twin will now honestly get into Super Diamond without that crazy neutral disrespecting v skill

rants incoming

I donā€™t think weā€™ll see 3.5. ,Capcom is good with it. Iā€™m not. The team in charge of game balance & development needs to take notes from the design team, the latter seems the only one working for real. The netcode is even more garbage than before, I donā€™t feel the urge of grinding. Iā€™ll wait until S4 rebalance, if my expectations are going to be disappointed again Iā€™m done. Sometimes playing SFV looks like fighting the game first (netcode, input fucking lag) before your opponent. I need a break.

end of rant

If you need to be disappointed almost double digit times before you end up done with a game, at that point the fault isnā€™t with the company.
