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

Blanka players are meeting up at @TWINBLADES house to use that “top tier” Wi-Fi.

Played DBFZ for the first time today

I think I should’ve just played more SFV

Tighten up your buttholes, cuz Blanka is going to run a train on you.

With no counter characters in sight (except for Rog, but he got nerfed), who’s going to stop that rampage?

Blanka is looking really good. They made him fit into V’s system really well and he has about everything you need on paper to be good in this game. Including 3 bar unga triggers and safe/plus pressure after a normal cancel. SFV its much easier to convert things into scary damage so he won’t have the hit you like a flea unless he red focuses problem he had in IV.

Correct me if I’m wrong but Blanka usually bodies big bodies.

Abigail is a much different big body though. He’s like what would happen if a big body could do most of the stuff that a shoto or urien could do. He’s one of the best big bodies to hit a fighter in a long time.

With that said, Blanka should have good options vs him. If his command hop moves him forward fast and far enough that should allow him to escape Abigail’s armored HP corner shenanigans in VT1. Anybody with a command dash that passes through the body can pass through it and not have to worry about the charge/unblockable mind game.

I like how they rewarded Latin America for having a player that won Capcom Cup by making it so ranking tournaments give less points and not giving the region a single Premier event. The US really does need to have 7 premiers I guess. Can’t have too many DidimoKof situations next time.

Just got rage quit on by an Abigail lol.

A minute of silence for online SFV

my angus…is not prepared

I WILL CRUSH BLANKA PLAYERS UNDER MY HEEL!!

It is a reward. Reward as in “We cannot allow this to happen again.”

Lets be honest the majority of spectators and potential sponsors care a hell of a lot more about backing big US events rather than Latin American events.

If you aren’t US based you don’t have a shot at pro tour unless you win a premier or something

So wait, Black Panther has the second most successful opening of a Marvel movie and the best opening for a single-character Marvel movie?

I mean I always liked him but nobody knew that guy before Civil War.

Politically it’s interesting though, considering how much Hollywood has been shying away from black actors in the past if they weren’t called Smith, Washington or Freeman. So yeah, good job Disney. Even if Fynn is kind of an idiot.

black cougar > black panther

Congratulations @GetTheTables on reaching Gold! I knew you had it in you. Even when I was in low Silver with Akuma, you were definitely stronger than most of the silver players I was running into, and you’ve improved significantly since then.

Froztey’s dad posted a new video on Roo:

Good stuff. Hopefully Capcom can keep up their character schedule so we can see some Sagat vids by mid-summer.

Or early Fall.

Or anytime during 2018 since it’s still modern Capcom.

Lmao…

@“DevilJin 01” can you please let me know how to use Ibuki’s V-Skill?

I know it nullifies single hit projectiles, but the timing is tough. It does seem like a good whiff punishing tool, if you know that you’ll be able to dodge the attack as she reels back during the startup but that requires a pretty damn good read (which I’m sure better players than me are capable of), but are there any other uses for it?
