The Garou Lounge: Sakura Defends Arcades from Bottom Barrel Netcodes

hahahahahahahaaa the leroy patch is a fucking joke

he lost:

  1. one frame off his hermit sidestep
  2. 4 damage from his ground spiking hermit move, which will still lead to his grounded hits at the wall
  3. 2 damage off his df1, though it is still absolutely the best df1 game in terms of frame data, extensions, and hitbox
  4. df3 has more pushback on grounded opponents (but why does it even hit grounded opponents)
  5. lost 6 damage off his optimal ender, the unscaled hit from d2,3
  6. lost 3 damage from his most easy to use screw
  7. db1, 1+2 is now jab punishable i guess
  8. b3 lost 2 damage, still a godlike starter that shouldnt even screw in the first place
  9. orbital nerfed to -8, making it exactly as risk free to throw out as before except now leroy isnt basically at advantage for using it
  10. uf3+4, 1+2. ez combo ender got unknown property change but honestly even if it was completely butchered and doesnt even hit after screws it means nothing because he still has plenty of other good enders
  11. f2,2 lost five damage, and is still one of the best whiff punishers in the game
  12. cane isnt plus anymore but why does this motherfucker have a free rage drive at all

He loses a couple points of damage, none of his arsenal was made unsafe that wasnt before, and he’s still running around with several of the best tools in the game (b1, df1, parry, crazy hitconfirmable strings from 1+2 and jab, utterly godlike lows and the list continues)

guess im out till they decide to actually fix this shit

Having Smash go last was AMAZING…

…because I could go to bed at a reasonable hour.

Not the majority of the FGC.

But Smashers are like a plague upon Evo. They don’t care.

We also missed out on Seth Killian and James Chen crying together about how much Evo has grown and all that. Instead we got two 12 years just go “lol evo, see you next year”.

Its trash.

I thought it was good that SFV wasn’t last, I didn’t have to go to bed so late like in past years, so I am for it again

You know what must be done.

Evo sucks, only old heads mad bout Smash getting main stage. Maybe if SFV wasn’t ass and got more entrants the Smash takeover wouldn’t have happened.

I blame Capcom and it’s stans. :triumph:

Yes. It will probably the game with the most entrants again, so it deserves the spot for that alone.

But logistically, not having Smash delay the other games is great.

What kind of dumb hot take is that?

You really think SF5 was competing with one of the biggest casual games nintendo has to offer?

Not a chance.

All Evo did was give the unwashed masses more exposure so they could further bodied the FGC with their no deodorant tech.

Look, only reason Smash is there is to use them as a piggy bank. Which is fine, but at least be honest about the situation.

You know why the overwhelming majority of Smash tournaments don’t have fighting games in them? Because they don’t care and don’t need the FGC to be solvent.

So smash isn’t a fighting game because its a fighting game, Smash is a fighting game because its convenient to TOs to pump up the attendance numbers for profit.

Fucking 1.
I have TO’d and played too much comp Smash to concede that it deserves a spot before the mainstage on any argument besides number of entrants.

my crystal ball for evo tells me:
obviously locked in: sfv, t7, smashu
extremely likely: mk, granblue
educated guesses: uniclr, sc6, samsho, dbfz

basically the same as last year except bbtag is swapped for granblue, uniclr might take that hit if arcsys is still trying to push tag though

They can’t nerf Leroy at the start of Black History Month, Harada doesn’t want to end up like Papa John eating 40 pizzas in 30 days for a living.

If SFV didn’t suck ass it could definitely compete numbers wise. Hell the Evo where smash had 3000+ entrants I believe 400+ didn’t even fucking show. Technically SFV and Tekken weren’t far off.

SFV being the monkey fest it is caused it’s numbers to keep dropping. How the fuck your gonna get mad at smash cause your game is hot trash.

That’s like me wishing MvCI took DBFZ place cause mah nostalgia and hate boner. :joy:

How come these are educated guesses? Seems obvious enough.
