The SFV Lounge: SRK is ALIVE. AE Hype is BACK! DISCORD going the way of DISCO

They will show Blanka gameplay today on WSO.

I think capcom (and any company) should let the fighters be used in practice mode without buying them. That way people don’t have to grind or fork over money to have characters that won’t play, but can still train against them.

You know what I just thought?

SFV Blanka might be a Nemo character.

It’s 6.5-4.5 in Gief’s favor at least. More so in S3 probably (7-3 I would wager). Definitely Bison’s worst matchup.

it would be great for us but no one would buy then the chars anymore expect maybe that one he want to main.
so, from a company standpoint i can understand why they dont allow that.

maybe a middle way could be found so that you pay a low summ of fm to not buy but to rent a char for trainingsmode for a fixed period of time.
that + the one week free for everyone thing like they did for sakura on release of each char might be something which benefits both sides at the end.

Ibuki is bottom tier
Worse than vega

For honor does this exact practice. You can use the characters in training mode. But to use anywhere else you have to buy them. I think it’s great.

brawlhalla too but no “real” fighting game so far did it…at least i dont recall one. you can unlock em ingame then with a ingame currency or buy a pack to get em.

WSO doing a blanka showcase today?

edit: maybe i should read the page first before asking questions xp

NO
he’s using the correct character that he should be using.

While true, I don’t think it would be bad. I mean, you can unlock things for free now just need to grind. So capcom is still “losing” money. At least this way, if people actually want to just practice against a character without grinding or money I think it should be fine. And if you want to play said character…well pay up or grind out.

Weekly rotation is also good.

The problem with using one player as a measuring stick is that it assumes that that player plays every match at an optimal level or that the people they are playing against aren’t just playing out of their minds or that they also play the match up at its most optimal level.

I know it flies in the face of what we conventionally do in tier discussions but single tournaments are not good examples of what to base tier lists on.

For example after infiltration won evo jp he was on stream talking about how he felt like his characters were just catching a lot of players off guard because they weren’t familiar enough. He was alluding to the idea that it was more about him vs his opponent as players than it was the characters

All we really know from singular events is that bad or mediocre characters can’t do the majority of the leg work when it comes to going really deep into the brackets at a stacked event

Well the gf’s more or les proved that. Since john buried infil and sent him to losers. Guess he figured john was weak to wake-up dp’s and wake-up jabs. He was right. John looked stumped.

After heavy thought I think abi is fair, the only nerf I would give him is a 5% damage bost in vt and take away 1 juggle point. So instead of you losing 75% you only lose 30-45%.

give him hurtboxes

Blanka time!
