The Street Calibur 5 Lounge: The Soul Burns But not as Hard as the FGC is Burning

Until she claps you in the corner. :rofl:

Iā€™d be tempted to try fighterz again for roshi. But I know I wouldnā€™t like it, especially with the netcode. So nope.

Setsuka Iā€™m all in for.

Donā€™t care about Tekken.

I feel like all this dlc needs to start dropping soon, between fighterz, street fighter, Tekken, samsho, and soul caliburā€¦ There isnā€™t much space to get out before next gen drops ( if they even care about that)

When youā€™re going to shit talk something bad, it helps to not be stupid and outright lie.

Hey guys I got a question with the baroque system from TVC?

Any positive and negative feedback on it?ā€™

Was it better than X-Factor miles away?

Thanks

Baroque wasnā€™t really a comeback factor. It was essentially a Roman Cancel that cost you all of your Red Life.

So was it something better mechanic that can be revisited?

Look I give SFV Netcode a lot of shit, rightly deserved.
But it is not that bad.

It is the worst current gen one by a long stretch tho.

If thats true, Iā€™m legit gonna sit my ass down and git gud at Tekken.

there aint gonna be no jun or christie in tekken 7 lol, MAYBE kunimitsu

setsuka and hwang were already datamined for sc6 so we know those dudes are coming

dbfz is who knows who cares tier, I hope its roshi because I like that guy but I dont even play that game so w/e

Many things to address, but Iā€™ll start with whatā€™s clearly the most important:
If they put Christie in T7 for realā€¦ Iā€™m doing it

As per the least important topic:
Iā€™ve seen plenty of racism in Europe, and in my country, as Miria said, usually itā€™s Xenophobia, and always created by politic parties and medias that need to fuel their agenda.
But as fucked up as racism is, somehow in my eyes the racism I see from the USA is somehow even worst.
I am not condoning racism in Europe or anywhere, but in the USA the racism is against people that ARE INDEED Americans. Surely there are cases in which the black personā€™s family has been American for longer than the family of the person being racist.
I mean shit, the fucking president is a racist fuck and heā€™s what? 2nd? 3rd generation american?
Shit is fucked up beyond comprehension.

Finally, the Balotelli question. His case is weird, becase he was a massive dickhead when he was young, so he got a lot of of insults thrown at him, including racist ones, but I feel most of them are just because Football fans that populate stadiums in are just too stupid to formulate an insult better than just pointing out what they see.
That said, supporters of whatever team he played in loved him, but thatā€™s because in Italy
Football > everything else
I personally loved the player, and I would have loved for him to join the team I support.
At the same time that one time when he was young and was being an asshole in a game and Totti ran to him and kicked him as hard as he could I was on Tottiā€™s side.

Got bitten by the SC 6 bug too.

Went straight back to ranked mode after almost a year of not playing and got the shit kicked out of me.

Surprised by the number of players on the PS4. Iā€™m getting ranked matches every 30 seconds or less.

And Haohmaru is mad fun. Go get the shill pass if you havenā€™t!

Baroque had a lot of positives and negatives.

The good thing about it is that thereā€™s a legit cost to it. Red health is a big deal in team games because you can tag out and get real hp out of it, so burning it wrong means youā€™re in a worse spot. It also gives anchor characters something to use that red health on.

On the other hand, thereā€™s also a lot of problems with it. You have Baroque available after pretty much every neutral interaction. This makes it much more common than an RC because thereā€™s no meter cost to it. Hell, if you burst, you get a bunch of red life to Baroque with.

The other elephant in the room is the boosted damage depending on how much red health you had. This makes Baroque completely silly because itā€™s not only a cheap and versatile tool, but also gives you incredible output in combos. Donā€™t remember exact numbers though.

People would bitch a lot about it in a modern game, and rightfully so tbh.

How are you guys liking SC6? To be honest, I really liked the movement and footsie aspect of it, but hated a lot of the mechanics (like supers and reversals/counters and things, though I donā€™t really remember them all now).

I am liking it very much!!

The games has always had counters, donā€™t know about reversals but they are not bad and make sense. Supers were in SCI but in a simpler form. Get back on it!!!
