I think what this tournament have showed is that you pretty much cant play a solo character in SF5 anymore.

This top 8 was nothing but lopsided MUs.except perhaps the GF. Maybe that is what to be expected when characters like Menat/Abigail/Zangief/ Guile are there over the more rounded characters but i dont find that to be a good sign.

I don’t know fam. SFV is probably the closest SF game where there is a real semblance of balance across the majority of the cast. What was the most lopsided MU? Guile vs Gief right? The historic lopsided MU. I thought the diversity and MU’s were fine in this Tourney…

Outside of my fanboy-ism of Tokido and Sako

Infiltration is one of the G.O.A.T.s

Edit: It’s crazy to me…when you think of Menat you think of Go1 but here comes Infiltration…spends some hours in training mode…go to Evo and win with Menat technically

Training Mode is OP as fuck

Itazan should have more patience against Guile, you can’t rush him like that. Especially if the Guile is Daigo

French retailer shows listing for Danganronpa V3 on Switch | Nintendo Wire

Despair may be on the horizon for sixteen high school students and every Switch owner out there: the DanganRonpa series may finally be coming to a Nintendo console. Thanks to a listing that briefly appeared on a French retail site, a port of...

Did Infiltration get a hair transplant?

transplanted from the pubic area… not very sanitary.

What’s there to know?

Does not have to be.
It does not look that good btw, he wears a hat for a reason.

Guile vs Gief/Abigail.
Menat vs Chun.
Menat vs Guile.

These 3 matchups in particular seemed like very rough fights that you are better off just counter picking than even trying to fight through.

When I see Menat, I would like to just put down the controller. I would rather face a Sim or Guile over her anyday.

If you think you’re gonna go bald your best bet is to get on Propecia as early as possible and that’s only if you care for keeping your hair.

Hair transplants rarely look natural or good enough to warrant them. Especially if you intend to grow your hair long. The technology simply is not at its full potential yet but it will be once stem cells and cloning hair follicles factors in.

Saturius · 2018-01-28T21:55:11.000Z

Forget Propecia. If you are going bald bad, just shave it all off. In the long run you will look better that way, even if you have a fucked up head shape. Getting transplants or wigs or having hair on just the sides or whatever just never looks right anyway.

DevilJin_01 · 2018-01-28T21:55:51.000Z

They buff Chun and that’s when MOV gets outta there? This Abigail Edition is rough.

Gief too fair for Ita

Karin too fair for Mago

Now Chun (not surprisingly) too fair for MOV. Ibuki has always been his backup character so I can see that happening.

itzpookiie · 2018-01-28T21:59:36.000Z

is rashid vt2 better than vt1?
and why?

septic · 2018-01-28T22:00:23.000Z

Was trying out Sim’s vt2 last night… It has a lot of utility, great for setups but also escapes!

When you factor in that standing strong (airborne) can now be cancelled into yoga float, Sim can pretty much remain airborne if he has the resources.

Honestly, this is as good as Chun is gonna get. No other buffs are going to fix her problems. It’s clear what SFV is all about. Relentless pressure, damage and round “stealing” V triggers. Chun has neither and that’s alright. Some characters just don’t always favor a games winning mechanics. 4 and 5 just don’t favor Chun’s archetype.
She got better damage and anti airs so I am satisfied with where she is in the game’s meta. I just don’t think she is a good tourney type character. She struggles too much with zoning and she can’t stop characters with explosive triggers from decimating her, nor can she dish out a similar type of explosive trigger. It is what it is. It’s unfortunate that MOV is now realizing this, but maybe it’s for the best if he wants to be a more well rounded tourney player.
